Configuration Client | V3 | 2010.07 Configuration Manual Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH
5 Getting started
This chapter provides information on how to get started with Bosch Video Management
System and with Bosch VMS Archive Player.
5.1 Installing the software modules
Install every software module on the computer that is supposed to be used for this module.
To install:
1. Insert the product CD-ROM.
2. Start setup.exe or start the Bosch Video Management System Setup on the Welcome
screen.
3. In the next dialog box, select the modules to be installed on this computer.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
5.2 Installing Bosch VMS Archive Player
You can include the setup for Bosch VMS Archive Player in an export you create with
Bosch VMS Operator Client.
If there is no setup available with the export, you can find it on a computer where Bosch VMS
is installed: C:\<Installation
directory>\Bosch\VMS\Update\NvrArchivePlayer\NvrArchivePlayerSetup.exe
To install:
1. Copy the Setup program file on a computer where Bosch VMS is not installed.
2. Start NVRArchivePlayerSetup.exe.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
5.3 Activating the software licenses
Main window
When you install Bosch Video Management System for the first time, you must activate the
licenses for the software packages that you have ordered, including the base package and any
expansions and/or optional features.
To obtain the Activation Key for a license, you need the Authorization Number. This number is
included in your product box.
With a Bundle Information file you can ease the process of activating.
CAUTION!
Do not install DiBos Web client on any Bosch VMS computer. Otherwise Operator Client on
each computer with the web client crashes after the Web client is started.
CAUTION!
Install Bosch VMS Archive Player only on a computer where Bosch Video Management is not
installed.

Bosch Video Management System Ge t t i n g s t a r t e d | e n 17
Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH Configuration Manual Configuration Client | V3 | 2010.07
To activate the software:
1. Start the Configuration Client.
2. On the Tools menu, click License Manager....
The License Manager dialog box is displayed.
3. Click to check the boxes for the software package, the features, and the expansions that
you want to activate. For the expansions, enter the number of licenses.
If you have received a Bundle Information file, click Import Bundle Info to import it.
4. Click Activate.
The License Activation dialog box is displayed.
5. Write down the computer signature or copy and paste it into a text file.
6. On a computer with Internet access, enter the following URL into your browser:
https://activation.boschsecurity.com
If you do not have an account to access the Bosch License Activation Center, either
create a new account (recommended) or click the link to activate a new license without
logging on. If you create an account and log on before activating, the License Manager
keeps track of your activations. You can then review this at any time.
Follow the instructions to obtain the License Activation Key.
7. Return to the Bosch Video Management System software. In the License Activation
dialog box, type the License Activation Key obtained from the License Manager and click
Activate.
The software package is activated.
5.4 Starting Configuration Client
Only a user of the default user group Admin can log on to Configuration Client.
Note:
You cannot start Configuration Client when another user on another computer in the system
has already started Configuration Client.
To start Configuration Client:
1. From the Start menu, select Programs > Bosch VMS > Config Client.
The dialog box for logging on is displayed.
2. In the User Name: field, type your user name.
When you start the application for the first time, enter Admin as user name, no password
required.
3. In the Password: field, type your password.
CAUTION!
The computer signature is used for licensing. This computer signature can change after
exchanging hardware on the Central Server computer. When the computer signature is
changed, the license for the base package becomes invalid.
To avoid licensing problems, finish the hardware and software configuration before you
generate the computer signature.
The following hardware changes can make the base license invalid:
– Exchanging the network interface card.
– Adding a VMWare or VPN virtual network interface.
– Adding or activating a WLAN network interface.
– Switchover of a Stratus server mainboard without teaming settings.

6 Configuring devices
Main window > Devices
This chapter provides information on how to configure the devices in your system.
Changing the Device Tree impacts other pages of the Configuration Client:
–Maps and Structure
With the devices of the Device Tree you create a user defined structure called Logical
Tree. Hence, if you remove a device from the Device Tree, this device is automatically
removed from the Logical Tree. But adding a device to the Device Tree does not add this
device to the Logical Tree.
–Cameras and Recording
All cameras of the Device Tree are available in the Camera Table and the Recording
Tables. You cannot modify DiBos or Bosch Allegiant cameras.
–Events
All devices of the Device Tree are available in the corresponding Event Tables.
–User Groups
You can reduce the functional range of the devices on several permission pages (per user
group).
You can configure the following devices:
– Primary NVR and Failover NVR

– DiBos systems
