Image Server Administration
Image Server Administrator Window
The Image Server provides access to the surveillance system for remote users logging in with a
Remote Client (see page 142) or a Smart Client (see page 140). The Image Server itself does not
require separate hardware; it runs as a service on the surveillance system server (i.e. the
computer running the XProtect Basis+ software). Surveillance system administrators use the
Image Server Administrator window to manage the Image Server’s settings.
You access the Image Server Administrator window from Windows’ Start menu: Select
Start > All Programs > Milestone XProtect Basis+ > Image Server Administrator.
Alternatively, simply double-click the Image Server Administrator desktop shortcut.
Each section of the Image Server Administrator window is described in the following:
Server Configuration Section
The Server Configuration section is used for specifying server name and port, for enabling optional
external access to the server, for optional definition of IP address ranges which should be
recognized as being local, and for specifying a maximum number of remote users allowed to
connect simultaneously.
Field, Button Description
Name Lets you specify a name for the server. By default, the name is simply Server.
You can of course change the default name to a name of your choice.
Remote Client and Smart Client users with rights to configure their clients will
see the name of the server when they create views on their client’s Setup tab.
Port Lets you specify a port number to use for the server. The default port number

Access

router or firewall. If selecting this option, also specify the outside (public) IP
address and port number in the Outside IP Address and Outside Port fields.
Note: When using outside access, the router or firewall used must be
configured so requests sent to the outside (public) IP address and port are
forwarded to the inside (local) IP address and port of the server running the
Image Server service.
Outside

Lets you specify a public IP address for use when the server should be
available from the internet.
Outside Port Lets you specify a port number for use when the server should be available
from the internet. The default port number is 80. You are able to change the
