Configuring the MVG 400 44

MVG 400 unit. Configuration changes that were made during the timed-out session are

not discarded, as long as Update was clicked in the relevant screen before the time-out

occurred.

Opening the Configuration Remotely

Once the unit has been configured so that it can be accessed by a client remotely via the

internet (see LAN Settings, page 63), the configuration utility can be accessed remotely in the

same way. To do this, all you need is a PC that is connected to the internet. You can then

access the configuration utility in one of the following ways:

• Through the MultiClient: Connect to the MVG 400 and use the MultiClient to access

the configuration utility, as explained below. (For additional information about working

with the MultiClient, please refer to the MultiClient User Guide.)

• Manually through a browser: Enter the address and port in the Address field of a

browser window, as described on page 45 (under Opening the Configuration Manually).

NOTE: You cannot access the configuration utility remotely through a proxy connection.

Since most cellular connections rely on proxies, you cannot normally open the

configuration utility remotely if the only way you can connect to the unit remotely

is via a cellular modem.

To access the configuration utility remotely through the MultiClient:

1. Connect to the MVG 400 through the MultiClient.

Note: The MultiClient's Search function does not work over the internet. Therefore, you

will have to manually add and configure the connection to the MVG 400. For

information about how to do this, please refer to the MultiClient User Guide.

2. In the

Connection Panel (left panel) of the MultiClient, select the MVG 400.

3. At the bottom of the

Connection Panel, click the Config button. A new browser window

opens, and automatically connects to the configuration utility login page for the

MVG 400.

NOTE: If you cannot connect remotely through port 10000, the login page will not

appear at this point, and the browser will display an error message instead.

Change the port number in the Address field of the browser from 10000 to the

port that is set in the router's port forwarding settings (see General System

Settings, page 47), and press Enter to reload the page. The login page should

then appear. For additional information, see Opening the Configuration

Manually, on page 45.

If more than one SerVision video gateway is connected to the internet via the

same router, each of them must use a different port. When you click Config in

the MultiClient, the browser automatically connects to port 10000. As a result,

the MultiClient may initially connect you to the wrong video gateway unit. In

this case, you should manually correct the port number in the Address field of

the browser, as explained above.
