Milestone XProtect Basis+ 6.5; Administrator’s Manual
Download Manager
The Download Manager lets you manage which XProtect Basis+-related features your
organization’s users will be able to access from a targeted welcome page on the surveillance
system server. You access the Download Manager from Windows’ Start menu: Select All Programs
> Milestone XProtect Download Manager > Download Manager.
Examples of user-accessible features:
• The Smart Client (see page 140). With a regular Internet Explorer browser, users connect
to the surveillance server where they are presented with a welcome page. From the
welcome page, users can download the Smart Client software and install it on their
computers.
• Language packs, which let users add additional language versions to their existing Smart
Clients. Users download such language packs from the welcome page.
• The Remote Client (see page 142). Users connect to welcome page and log in to the
Remote Client, which simply runs in a browser without any need for software installation.
• Various plugins. Downloading such plugins can be relevant for users if your organization
uses add-on products with the XProtect Basis+ solution.
The Welcome Page
The welcome page is a simple web page with links to downloading or running various features. It is
available in a number of languages; users select their required language from a menu in the top
right corner of the welcome page.
To view the welcome page, simply open an Internet Explorer browser (version 6.0 or later) and
connect to the following address:
http://[surveillance server IP address or hostname]
If the Image Server (see page 109) has been configured with a port number other than the default
port 80, you must specify the port number as well, separated from the IP address or hostname by
a colon:
http://[surveillance server IP address or hostname]:[port number]
The content of the welcome page is managed through the Download Manager; therefore the
welcome page will often look different across organizations.
Initial Look
Immediately after you install XProtect Basis+, the welcome page will provide access to two
features: A Smart Client and a Remote Client in language versions matching the language version
of your XProtect Basis+ system. Examples:
• If you have installed an English-language version of the XProtect Basis+ software, the two
access clients will initially be in English.
