to cameras), Application (access to XProtect Smart Client), and Enterprise Server (access
to the XProtect Enterprise slave server). Repeat for each role you have added.

Create new XProtect Smart Client views identical to the ones your users already have
for accessing the cameras from XProtect Enterprise. Only this time you create the views with
the cameras coming through XProtect Advanced VMS.
Your users now have access to both the old and the new system. From this point they will not
connect directly to the XProtect Enterprise server anymore, all client connections will take
place through the XProtect Advanced VMS management server.
Tip: The entire XProtect Enterprise system will still run. Thus you have the safety of easily
being able to revert back to it before you progress further, should any unexpected issues arise
and require solving.
When you have verified that everything works to your satisfaction, you are ready to install
the XProtect Advanced VMS recording server which will eventually replace the XProtect
Enterprise server. You can install it on either the same physical server as the existing
XProtect Enterprise server, or on a new server parallel to the existing XProtect Enterprise
server.
