System Prerequisites
Before operating the K2, it must be cabled and configured to access shared storage on
a K2 Storage System. Refer to the K2 Instruction Guide for procedures.
The K2 ASI Graphical User Interface (Remote ASI Video Client application) should
be installed on the Control Point PC. Refer to the K2 Instruction Manual for
procedures.
Starting K2 ASI Client
When the K2 ASI unit starts up, the K2 ASI application software (namely Video
Server and Browser Server) initiates automatically.
To operate K2 ASI actions, open the remote ASI video application (namely Video
Client) locally or from the Control point PC. This application allows connecting to
any K2 ASI device on the network.
Refer to the K2 Instruction Manual for installing ASI video application
To prevent unauthorized modifications to the configuration, handling rights are
determined through the use of two profiles:
• Supervisor
• Configurator
Supervisor Rights
Supervisors can use the ASI video client application software for monitoring
purposes. However, they cannot modify the configuration on the K2 ASI client. In
other words, Supervisors cannot add, scan, modify, remove inputs, outputs nor filter,
change rate nor perform drag & drops. Supervisors can add, modify or remove
elements in lists. They can also set or reset analysis parameters.
To set Supervisor rights (default profile), select User mode from the Server menu. The
Mode definition dialog is displayed. Select Supervisor and click OK to validate. No
password is necessary for the Supervisor mode.
Configurator Rights
Configurators can do anything: they have all rights.
To set Configurator rights, select User mode from the Server menu. Then, select
Configurator , enter the password and validate.
By default, password is "k2admin". To change it, select Password from the Options
menu. Enter the current password. Then, enter a new password and click OK to
validate.
If the current password is erroneous, an error message is displayed. The new password
is set when the current password is correct and the dialog has been validated.
