Logging on to the system
When the OOBE is finished, the unit completes its configuration and automatically logs on.
Note: During first log on, the computer sets up display drivers that may cause screen flickering
while processing. Windows will then give you the choice to turn on network discovery so the
computer is visible to other devices in the network. If there are multiple monitors connected, they
can now be configured.
Connecting victor Client to vAS
1. Double-click the victor Unified Client icon on the desktop.
Note: victor Client expects to find a local server when started. When the Server Error
displays, click OK to continue.
2. In the victor Client log on prompt, click the Add button and enter the details for the vAS.
3. From the victor Application Servers list, select the added vAS.
4. Enter valid authentication details.
5. Click OK to connect the client to the victor Application Server.
Logging on to the vAS using Windows Authentication
1. Add the same User Account to the vAS as a new Operator.
2. Add this User Account to the OS where the vAS resides.
Setting up recorders on victor Client
After you log on to victor Client, you can add VideoEdge NVRs or other recorder types as
follows:
1. From the Navigation bar, click the Devices icon.
2. Right-click the Devices list, select Recorder, and then select New.
3. Enter the following VideoEdge credentials:
4. Hostname or IP Address
5. Username and Password
6. Note: If other details have not been changed, leave these credentials empty.
7. Click Save & Close, then wait for the vAS to import the data from the newly added
recorder.
8. Check that you can ping the recorder from the victor Workstation by opening the command
line and typing the following command:
ping <Recorder IP>
Note: When recorders do not resolve, the IP address remains visible on the Devices list,
outside of any Recorder Type folders. Failure to resolve recorders is usually network
related.
Recorders ready for use
When a recorder is ready for use, its cameras appear in the Device list and are automatically
sorted into Device type folders, such as VideoEdge and Intellex. Expand the recorder folder to
view the camera folder. Double-click a camera to check that video is streaming from the
recorder. The workstation firewall is already configured to allow victor to communicate with
external network devices on the default ports.
Note: For more information about victor, refer to the AD Resources folder located on drive C, the
desktop, or the recovery media USB.
System recovery
In the event of device failure, you can restore the system back to its factory state.
Note: The system recovery process deletes all data from the workstation.
1. Turn off the workstation and insert the USB recovery media into a USB port.
2. Turn on the workstation and press the F12 key.
3. Select USB: Media from the boot menu.
4. From the One-Time Boot Menu, click Recover victor.
5. Optional: Configure security settings, if you intend to install vAS on the workstation.
Note: These settings are applied automatically and require a reboot.
6. Click Yes to confirm that you want to recover the workstation to its factory state.
7. When the system recovery process completes, click Exit to restart the workstation and
remove the recovery media USB.
8. See the Setting up victor Application Server (vAS) remote access section to reconfigure
the workstation.
