Client: Logging In & Out
Logging In
To log in to the XProtect Central system with an XProtect Central Client, do the following:
1. Double-click the Milestone XProtect Central Client shortcut on your desktop:
Alternatively, select Milestone XProtect Central Client from Windows' Start menu.
2. In the login window’s Connect To field, type or select the name or IP address of the
XProtect Central Server as specified by your XProtect Central administrator. Internet
connections may use different ports for different purposes; therefore, the server name or
IP address may include a port number (example: 123.123.123.123:80, where :80 indicates
the port number).
Tip: If you want to avoid having to type or select the name/IP address of the server the
next time you log in, select the Connect automatically box. If you wish to be able to select
between several servers, however, do not select the Connect automatically box.
By default, you will log to XProtect Central with your active Windows account. This means
that if you have logged in to the computer on which your XProtect Central Client is installed
as, for example, JohnSmith, you will by default log in to the XProtect Central Server as
JohnSmith as well.
• If you wish to log in with your active Windows account, simply click OK.
• If you wish to log in with a different Windows account, click the login window’s
Options >> button, and specify the required user name, password and domain,
then click OK.
3. The XProtect Central Client window opens. You now have access to information from the
XProtect Central Server.
Got Login Problems?
If you experience problems when attempting to log in with your XProtect Central Client, consider
the following:
• Have you specified the server address correctly? Make sure that the XProtect Central
Server name/IP address you specified in the login dialog is correct, and that it includes the
http:// prefix. Bear in mind that the address of your XProtect Central Server may include a
port number; for example http://123.123.123.123:80, where :80 indicates the port
number.
• Have you got access rights? If you are not logging in as an XProtect Central
administrator, access rights must have been set up for you by an XProtect Central
administrator before you are able to log in with your XProtect Central Client.
