Milestone XProtect Basis+ 6.5; Administrator’s Manual
Specifying the IP address of a device
Note: By default, HTTP port 80 and FTP port 21 will be used for the device. If the device
you are adding uses other port numbers, click the Port Setup button and specify required
port numbers. The need for specifying different ports may often apply if the device is
located behind a NAT-enabled router or a firewall. When this is the case, also remember to
configure the router/firewall so it maps the ports and IP address used by the device.
When ready, click Next to go to the second step of the wizard.
4. If a password is used for the device, type the password for the device’s administrator
account (called the “admin” or “root” account on some devices). Leave the Autodetect
Device option selected. Then click Next.
Tip: If you are in doubt about which administrator account to use for a device, look in
the Device Pack Release Notes, available from the Downloads section of the Milestone
website, www.milestonesys.com.
5. When the device has been detected, type the
Device License Key (DLK) for the device in the
DLK field.
Tip: If you have imported DLKs (see How
to Import Device License Keys on page 31),
the DLK field will already be filled with the DLK
for the device.
Click Next.
6. Assign a unique and descriptive name to the
device.
Upon completion of the wizard, the name will
be used when listing devices and associated
cameras in the Administrator window’s Device
Manager section. The name may, for example,
refer to the physical location of the camera(s)
attached to the device.
Tip: You may click the Camera Setup button to access the Camera Settings for [Device
Name] window (see page 36), in which you are able to specify certain settings related to
camera name and PTZ control. The latter requires that the camera is a PTZ (Pan/tilt/Zoom)
camera.
7. Click Finish.
8. The device will be listed in the Administrator window’s Device Manager section. To view a
list of cameras attached to the device, click the plus sign next to the device name.
