2 General Notes

2.1 Appropriate Use

WebConfig is a graphical user interface that is intergrated as a web server in the
SMAVIA Recording Server appliances DMS 2400, IPS 2400, DLS 1600 and VNB II. The
WebConfig interface allows easy viewing of live images and evaluation of tracks in a web
browser.

Note that
• certain functions and properties require a paid license.
• a basic license to display an ActiveX*) split is included.
• for simultaneous display of multiple ActiveX splits a floating license is required.d
• the following explanation on the “Networks with routers (NAT)” function is not relevant
for all functions.

2.2 Performance Features

• One access license for the ActiveX viewer included (basic license)
• Display of multi-splits with optional floating license
• Image resolutions up to D1 (720 × 576) possible

2.3 System Requirements

For the various display functions following requirements must be met and the following
ports must be open:
Viewer ActiveX Viewer MJPEG ActiveX Split
Internet Explorer*) 11 Yes No Yes
Dallmeier ActiveX Yes No Yes
Port 80 (http) Yes Yes Yes
Port 443 (https) Yes Yes Yes
Ports 18000 – 18036 Yes No Yes
(ActiveX)
Port 8080 (ActiveX) Yes No Yes
Port 30000 (DaVid) Yes No Yes

2.4 Networks With Routers

Some (streaming-)functions offer the activation of the Networks with Routers (NAT) func-
tion. This can be required in the following condition:
If the network connection to the device is established via a router/gateway with NAT (Net-
work Address Translation) function, the live video may not be shown in certain circum-
stances. In this case, two solutions are available:
The router/gateway has to be configured for a correct address translation of data packets
sent by the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

www.dallmeier.com 5
 WebConfig

UDP is by default used by the streaming function of the device.

An easier solution is to activate the Networks with routers (NAT) checkbox. In this case,
the device switches the protocol of the streaming function to the Transmission Control Pro-
tocol (TCP). To receive the data packets, the port 30000 for the DaVid Protocol and port 80
for the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) must be open.

Note that at data transmission via TCP

• normally no packet loss (lack of images) occurs.
• short-term peaks in network traffic may occur.
• low delays may occur.

2.5 Use Appliance As Proxy

The function Use recorder as proxy allows to establish a camera connection on the appli-
ance. It establishes no direct connection to the camera here.

2.6 Warranty
The terms and conditions valid at the signing of the contract shall apply.
