AoE Setup

This menu allows conguration of the units ATA over Ethernet (AoE) function. AoE is a network

protocol designed for simple high-performance access of storage devices over Ethernet networks.

Importantly the external storage device must be located on the same network as the unit. AoE does

not rely on network layers such as IP and TCP, making it non routable i.e. routers cannot be used

to forward a packet across disparate networks. AoE packets can only travel within a single local

Ethernet storage area network. The stored video can only be accessed by plugging directly into

an ethernet socket in the same LAN as the host. This means AoE cannot be accessed over the

Internet or other IP networks, but makes AoE more lightweight (with less load on the host), easier to

implement, provides a layer of inherent security, and offers higher performance.

Note: Refer to Viewer Menu->Copy Menu for guidance on exporting Event data via the unit’s

USB port.

IMPORTANT: An additional .ini le must be installed to make use of the AOE feature. Please
