Add XProtect Professional VMS servers

Even if the XProtect Professional VMS system has an internal master/slave setup, you cannot reuse it in your XProtect VMS system. You must add each XProtect Professional VMS server that you need device data from individually.

To add an existing XProtect Professional VMS server to your system:

1. From the Management Client’s Tools menu, select Professional VMS Servers.
2. In the Add/Remove Professional VMS Servers dialog box, click Add.
3. Enter the IP address or the host name of the XProtect Professional VMS server.
4. Enter the port number used by the XProtect Professional VMS server.

   The default port number is 80. If in doubt, you can find the port number in XProtect Professional VMS’s Management Application under Server Access.

5. Enter the user credentials for the administrator of the XProtect Professional VMS server to give yourself unrestricted rights to the device data from it.
6. If the XProtect VMS system accesses the XProtect Professional VMS server through an Internet connection, click Network to specify the WAN address of XProtect VMS’s management server. You need only define the WAN address once.

Next step is to give your users access to devices from the XProtect Professional VMS server.
