Remote Configuration
NetVision's remote configuration feature allows
authorized remote users, to perform many
configuration tasks on a Video Server using
only their web-browser software (must have
access to the internet or to the Video Server
through a network--via IP).
To access this feature from any PC with
access to the internet, open your web-browser,
and then use (only) the IP address of the
Video Server in place of a web site address.
When the login screen appears, enter a
remote username and password that is
registered at the specific Video Server (with
access to this feature).
