Milestone XProtect ® Express 1.1Administrator's ManualWhen using the Advanced option, the wizard is divided into these pages:Device discovery, IP ranges, drivers and authentication (see "IP ranges, drivers and authentication" onpage 50) Detected and verified hardware devices (on page 51) Overview and names (on page 49)IP ranges, drivers and authenticationAll properties on a white background are editable, properties on a light blue background cannot be edited.First specify which IP address ranges you want to scan. By default, the wizard suggests scanning the subnet onwhich the XProtect Express server is located. To add additional ranges, or edit existing ones, click the Add orEdit button as required, then specify:NameStart addressEnd addressUse TCP port scanningPerform scanning on portnumber(s)DescriptionSpecify the first IP address in the required range.Specify the last IP address in the required range. The start and end IPaddress may be identical, allowing you to only scan for a single hardwaredevice.If scanning for hardware devices which support TCP/HTTP—most devicesdo—keep the check box selected.Port number(s) on which to scan. If you want to scan on more than one portnumber, separate them by commas (example: 80,88,90). If you want toscan on a range of port numbers, separate the first and last port number inthe range by a colon (example: 80:90 will scan on all ports from 80 up toand including 90). You can also combine individual port numbers andranges (example: 77,80:90,97,99).Default is port 80. If your hardware devices are located behind a NATenabledrouter or a firewall, you may need to specify a different portnumber. When this is the case, also remember to configure therouter/firewall so it maps the port and IP addresses used by the hardwaredevices.Then select which drivers to use when scanning. By default, XProtect Express will use all known drivers. If yourorganization only uses certain hardware device makes and/or models, you can achieve faster scanning byselecting only the drives required for those hardware devices. If that is the case, click Select..., then in the SelectDrivers to Use for IP Scan, select the drivers you want to use when scanning.Tip: The list of drivers is typically very long, and by default all drivers are selected. With the Select All and ClearAll buttons, you can avoid having to select/clear all check boxes manually.Next add user name/password combinations required to access the administrator account on each of yourhardware devices. The administrator account gives full access, and XProtect Express will need that for eachhardware device.www.milestonesys.com 50 Wizards
Milestone XProtect ® Express 1.1Administrator's ManualUser namePasswordClick to add user a name/password combination.When ready, click Next.User name for the hardware device's administrator account. Manyorganizations use the hardware device manufacturer's default user namesfor their hardware devices. If that is the case in your organization, select (do not type a manufacturer's default user name as this can be asource of error; trust that XProtect Express will know the manufacturer'sdefault user name). Other typical user names, such as admin or root arealso selectable from the list. If you want a user name which is not on thelist, simply type a new user name.Tip: User names you enter will subsequently be added to the list, so youcan easily select them later.Password required to access the administrator account. A few hardwaredevices do not require user name/password for access; if such hardwaredevices are used in your organization, you can leave the field blank.Tip: If you are in doubt about which user name/password to use, askyourself: Have I previously used a web page to connect to the hardwaredevice and view video? While I did this, was I also able to configure camerasettings, such as resolution, etc.? If you can answer yes to both questions,you were probably using the hardware device’s administrator account, inwhich case you will also know the user name/password. If still in doubt,look in the XProtect Device Pack release notes.Detected and verified hardware devicesThe wizard automatically scans your network for hardware devices, and lists devices real-time as they aredetected. All properties on a white background are editable, properties on a light blue background cannot beedited.Wait until the scan is complete. If the scan takes very long, you can stop it with the Stop Scan button; the wizardwill remember any devices detected up to that point.When the scan is complete:1. Go through the list of detected hardware devices to see if it contains unwanted devices. If it does, clearthe check box in the Use column for each unwanted device.2. If any hardware devices are missing from the list, verify that the missing hardware devices are workingand that they are located within the specified IP address ranges, then click the Rescan button. Ifhardware devices detected in the first scan cannot be detected in the second scan, the wizard will stillremember them.3. For all detected hardware devices, XProtect Express has verified that user names/passwords are correct,and marked each device in the Verified column. If any hardware devices could not be verified, makesure you have specified the correct user names/passwords.4. Click Next.The next wizard page provides you with an overview where you can select names forcameras, etc.ManualThe Manual option lets you specify details about each hardware device separately. A good choice if you only wantto add a few hardware devices, and you know their IP addresses, required user names and passwords, etc.When using the Manual option, the wizard is divided into these pages:www.milestonesys.com 51 Wizards
