Chapter 16: EMC Units
Optionally, an EMC unit can be used for additional storage. The unit can be
attached to the digital video recorder as an additional volume.
Before proceeding with the configuration of the EMC unit for use with
B.A.S.I.S., the following steps must be accomplished. For more information,
please refer to the product manual.
1. The EMC unit must be added to a domain. This can be any domain, but it
must be the same one in which the video recorders are located, or in a trusted
domain.
2. Create three separate storage areas (volumes) on the EMC unit.
3. Create and name a shared directory on each of the new volumes.
• Make sure that at least one domain user account can access, read, and
write data to the shared folders from another computer on the domain.
4. Add the Video Recorder to the domain.
5. Give administrative rights to at least one specific domain user account on the
recorder. This account must be able to access the shared folders on the EMC
unit.
The EMC unit must meet these prerequisites. Do not continue until it is set up
properly.
Configuration
Once the prerequisites have been met, complete the following procedure to
configure the EMC unit.
1. Stop the Communication Server.
2. Stop recording on all video recorders.
3. On each video recorder, verify that the shared directories can be accessed on
each EMC volume by using the URL in Windows Explorer.
