Milestone XProtect ® Express 1.1Administrator's ManualCSV file format and requirementsThe CSV file must have a header line (determining what each value on the subsequent lines is about), andsubsequent lines must each contain information about one hardware device only.A minimum of information isalways required for each hardware device:NameHardwareOldMacAddressHardwreNewMacAddressHardwareAddressHardwareUsernameHardwarePasswordHardwareDeviceNameHardwareDriverIDCameraName[number]CameraShortcut[number]DescriptionThe MAC address of the hardware device used in the templateconfiguration. Required format: 12 hex characters without spaces or sixgroups of two hex characters separated with dashes (-) or colons (:).The MAC address of the new hardware device to be used in the realconfiguration. Required format: 12 hex characters without spaces or sixgroups of two hex characters separated with dashes (-) or colons (:).IP address of the hardware device.User name for hardware device's administrator account.In the extremely rare cases where a particular user name has previouslybeen required for a device, but you now want the user name to be ,you cannot use the CSV file to specify . The reason is that noinformation is interpreted as "leave the user name as it currently is." If youneed the new user name to be , you should not change it throughthe CCV file. Instead, change it as part of the hardware device's network,device type and license properties after you have imported the otherchanges through the CSV file.Password for hardware device's administrator account.In the extremely rare cases where a particular password has previouslybeen required for a device, but you now want the password to be ,you cannot use the CSV file to specify . The reason is that noinformation is interpreted as "œleave the password as it currently is." If youneed the new password to be , you should not change it throughthe CSV file. Instead, change it as part of the hardware device's network,device type and license properties after you have imported the otherchanges through the CSV file.Name of the hardware device. Name must unique, and must not containany of the following special characters: < > & ' " \ / : * ? | [ ]If cameras and server are offline—specify a HardwareDriverID for eachhardware device you want to add. Example: ACTi ACD-2100 105 indicatesthat you should use 105 as the ID if adding an ACTi ACD-2100 hardwaredevice.Name of the camera. Must appear as CameraName1, CameraName2, etc.in the header line since a hardware device can potentially have more thanone camera attached. Names must be unique, and must not contain any ofthe following special characters: < > & ' " \ / : * ? | [ ]Number for keyboard shortcut access to the camera in the Smart Client.Must appear as CameraShortcut1, CameraShortcut2, etc. in the headerline since a hardware device can potentially have more than one cameraattached. A camera shortcut number must not contain any letters or specialcharacters, and must not be longer than eight digits.www.milestonesys.com 54 Wizards
Milestone XProtect ® Express 1.1Administrator's ManualNameGenerateNewCameraGuid[optional number]PreBufferLength[optionalnumber]PostBufferLength[optionalnumber]RecordingPath[optional number]ArchivePath[optional number]OldRecordingsNewPath[optionalnumber]OldRecordingsNewMac[optionalnumber]RetentionTime[optional number]MjpegLiveFrameRate[optionalnumber]MotionSensitivity[optionalnumber]DescriptionLets you specify whether to generate a new GUID for a camera; this isespecially relevant if using a cloned configuration (see "Export and importmanagement application configuration" on page 160) as your template,since all GUIDs are removed from cloned configurations. If specified as, forexample, GenerateNewCameraGuid1, information relates to a specificcamera, otherwise to all cameras attached to the hardware device. Anycharacter means "yes, generate a new GUID."•Required length (in seconds) of pre-recording. If specified as, for example,PreBufferLength1, information relates to a specific camera, otherwise toall cameras attached to the hardware device.Required length (in seconds) of post-recording. If specified as, for example,PostBufferLength1, information relates to a specific camera, otherwise toall cameras attached to the hardware device.Path to the folder in which a camera's database should be stored. Ifspecified as, for example, RecordingPath1, information relates to aspecific camera, otherwise to all cameras attached to the hardware device.Path to the folder in which the camera's archived (see "About archiving" onpage 118) recordings should be stored. Remember that an archiving pathis only relevant if not using dynamic paths for archiving (see "Dynamic pathselection" on page 82). If specified as, for example, ArchivePath1,information relates to a specific camera, otherwise to all cameras attachedto the hardware device.Lets you specify what to do with old recordings in case RecordingPath orArchivePath have been changed. If this parameter is not specified, defaultbehavior is Leave (see the following). If specified as, for example,OldRecordingsNewPath1, information relates to a specific camera,otherwise to all cameras attached to the hardware device. Valid optionsare: Delete (deletes old recordings), Leave (leaves old recordings foroffline investigation but unavailable for online system), or Move (moves oldrecordings to archive).Lets you specify what to do with old recordings in case a new MAC addresshas been specified for the hardware device. If this parameter is notspecified, default behavior is Leave (see the following). If specified as, forexample, OldrecordingsNewMac1, information relates to a specific camera,otherwise to all cameras attached to the hardware device. Valid optionsare: Delete (deletes old recordings), Leave (leaves old recordings for offlineinvestigation but unavailable for online system), or Inherit (renames all oldrecording folders according to the new MAC address, thus making themavailable for the online system).Required retention time (in minutes). Remember that retention time is thetotal of recording time plus archiving time. If specified as, for example,RetentionTime1, information relates to a specific camera, otherwise to allcameras attached to the hardware device.Required MJPEG live frame rate (in number of frames; depending on whathas been configured on the camera, it will then know whether it is framesper second, minute, or hour). If specified as, for example,MjpegLiveFrameRate1, information relates to a specific camera, otherwiseto all cameras attached to the hardware device.A value between 0-256; corresponds to using the Sensitivity slider whenconfiguring motion detection settings in the Management Application. Ifspecified as, for example, MotionSensitivity1, information relates to aspecific camera, otherwise to all cameras attached to the hardware device.www.milestonesys.com 55 Wizards
