Name Description
Enable internet access
Select the check box if the server should be accessible from the
internet through a router or firewall. If you select this option, also
specify the public (“outside”) IP address and port number in the
following fields. When using public access, the router or firewall
used must be configured so requests sent to the public IP address
and port are forwarded t
o the local (“inside”) IP address and port of
the XProtect Express server.
Internet address
Specify a public IP address or hostname for use when the system
server should be available from the Internet.
Internet port
Specify a port number for use when the system should be available
from the Internet. The default port number is 80. You can change
the port number if needed.
Max. number of clients
You can limit the number of clients allowed to connect at the same
time. Depending on your XProtect Express configuration and the
performance of the hardware and network used, limiting the number
of simultaneously connected clients may help reduce server load. If
more than the allowed number of simultaneously connected clients
attempt to log in, only the allowed number of clients will be allowed
access. Any clients in excess of the allowed number will receive an
error message when attempting to log in.
By default, a maximum of ten simultaneously connected clients are
allowed. To specify a different maximum number, simply overwrite
the value.
Tip: To allow an unlimited number of simultaneously connected
access clients, type 0 (zero) in the Max. number of clients field.
A four-minute session timeout period applies for client sessions on
XProtect Express. In many cases, client users may not notice this at
all. However, the session timeout period will be very evident if you
set the Max. number of clients value to 1. When that is the case,
and the single allowed client user logs out, four minutes must pass
before it will be possible to log in again.
Local IP ranges
You can specify IP address ranges which your system should recognize as coming from a local
network. This can be relevant if different subnets are used across your local network.
1. Click the Add button.
2. In the Start Address column, specify the first IP address in the range.
3. In the End Address column, specify the last IP address in the range.
Repeat if you want to add other local IP address ranges.
