Milestone XProtect ® Express 1.1Administrator's ManualHardware device information, driver selection and verification (see "Information, driver selection andverification" on page 52) Overview and names (on page 49)Information, driver selection and verificationSpecify information about each hardware device you want to add. All properties on a white background areeditable, properties on a light blue background cannot be edited.NameUseAddressPortUser namePasswordHardware DriverVerifiedDescriptionIndicates that you want to include the hardware device in the scan. Tobegin with, leave the box cleared. Provided XProtect Express can find asuitable driver for the hardware device, the Use box will automatically beselected later.IP address or host name of the hardware device.Port number on which to scan. The default is port 80. If a hardware deviceis located behind a NAT-enabled router or a firewall, you may need tospecify a different port number. When this is the case, also remember toconfigure the router/firewall so it maps the port and IP address used by thehardware device.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.Driver to use with the hardware device. If the Auto-detect option isselected, the hardware the XProtect Express can find the relevant driverautomatically.Indicates whether access to the hardware device has been verified.Hardware devices for which you have specified correct address, port, username and password will be verified immediately if you use the auto-detectmethod. If you select drivers manually, access will be verified once youclick Next.Tip: To save time, when using the Auto-detect feature, you can enterinformation about other devices while the auto-detection is in progress.www.milestonesys.com 52 Wizards
Milestone XProtect ® Express 1.1Administrator's ManualImport from CSV fileThis option lets you import data about hardware devices and cameras as comma-separated values (CSV) (see"CSV file format and requirements" on page 54) from a file; a highly effective method if setting up several similarsystems.First select whether cameras and the XProtect Express server is online (that is having working networkconnections) or offline.Then point to the CSV file, and click Next.Add Hardware Devices wizard - Import from CSV File - example of CSVfileThe following is an example of a CSV file for use when cameras and server are online. It includes the mandatoryparameters HardwareAddress and HardwarePort as well as the optional parameters HardwarePassword andCameraName.Note that some of the hardware devices in the example have more than one camera attached. In the example, wetherefore use four versions of the CameraName parameter (CameraName1, CameraName2, etc.). Had all thehardware devices only had one camera attached each, we would only have needed CameraName1. See AddHardware Devices Wizard - Import from CSV File (see "Import from CSV file" on page 53) for detaileddescriptions of all mandatory and optional parameters.HardwareAddress;HardwarePort;HardwarePassword;CameraName1;CameraName2;CameraName3;CameraName4192.168.200.220;80;T0P53cr3T;Reception;;;192.168.200.221;80;tOpSeCrEt;Staircase A;Fire Exit;Staircase B;Lobby192.168.200.222;80;TOP53CR3T;Car Park East;;;192.168.200.223;80;topZKRID;Car Park West;;;192.168.200.224;80;TopsEcreT;Street Exit;Street Entrance;StationExit;Station Entrance192.168.200.225;80;tercespot;Production Level 2;;;192.168.200.226;80;TOpsECreT;Production Level 3;;;192.168.200.227;80;top$!cr!t;Storage Room;;;192.168.200.228;80;ttooppssecrett;Canteen;;;192.168.200.229;80;ecsotpert;Admin Office;;;192.168.200.230;80;SECRETtop;Annex;;;192.168.200.231;80;optescter;VIP Parking;;;192.168.200.232;80;scteropte;Workshop;;;192.168.200.233;80;scopetetr;Alleyway;;;192.168.200.234;80;optescter;Demo Room;;;192.168.200.235;80;oPtEscEr;Meeting Room 1;Meeting Room 2;MeetingRoom3;Meeting Room 4www.milestonesys.com 53 Wizards
