Registration of servers, clients and remote workstations on the administering server

Administering the servers and Remote Admin Workstations is usually performed from one selected Workstation – the administering server. It is recommended to have one administering server for any single selected video surveillance subnet (e.g. for security reasons).

All servers, Remote Admin Workstations and Remote Clients should be registered on the administering server.

To register the servers and remote Workstations on the administering server, follow the procedure:

1. Make sure that the synchronization of all servers and Remote Admin Workstations databases with the administering server database is set properly (see the previous section).
2. Check the servers, Remote Admin Workstations and Remote Clients connections to the subnet.
3. Launch the INTELLECT™ program on the administration server.
4. Register the Computer system object on the administering server for each server. Remote Admin Workstation or Remote Client. For that follow the steps:
   
   1. Go to the Hardware tab in the System Settings dialog box.
      
   2. Create a Computer object on the base of the Computer object.

   3. Enter the network name of the server, Remote Admin Workstation or Remote Client in the Computer name field.

      Note.

      The maximum length for the network name is 15 characters. If the network name is longer than 15 characters, then first 15 characters are to be specified as the network name in this field.

      The computer name may only consist of Latin characters and digits.

   4. Enter the name, used for the computer by the INTELLECT™ software, in the Name field.
   5. Click the Apply button.
5. Repeat the 4th step for each server, Remote Admin Workstation and Remote Client of the distributed video surveillance system (or its subnet).
6. Start the INTELLECT™ program on all operator and administration workstations and servers.
7. If communication exists between the administering server and the server, Remote Admin Workstation or Remote Client, the Computer object will be assigned the «» icon on the objects tree.
8. If no connection exists between the administering server and the server, Remote Admin Workstation or Remote Client, the Computer object will be assigned the «» icon on the objects tree. The most probable causes of disconnection are INTELLECT™ software failure on the server, Remote Admin Workstation or Remote Client; network disconnection, faulty database synchronization, wrong network name. Detect and remove the cause of disconnection before continuing to configure the system, then try to connect the administering server to the server, Remote Admin Workstation or Remote Client again.

To connect to the the server, Remote Admin Workstation or Remote Client from the remote administering server without restarting INTELLECT™ software, right click the relevant Computer object to display the context menu and select Reconnect.

Registration of servers, Remote Admin Workstations and Remote Clients on the administering server is completed.
