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.?
