Network settings utility

You can launch the network settings utility from the Windows Start menu: Start → All  Programs → C-Werk → Utilities → Network settings.

The utility allows you to:

1. Set the external IP address or DNS name of the router if the Server is located behind the NAT (1). 
   

   Note

   You may set multiple interfaces using a comma separated list, such as: "IP Address1 or DNS Name1, IP address2 or DNS Name2".

   For example: 88.78.12.33, ExampleAxxon.ddns.net.

2. Set the port range for operation of the C-Werk Server (2-3). To do this, specify the beginning of the range and the number of ports. The number of ports should not be lower than 20. 

   Attention!

   Within an Domain, the port ranges of Servers should not overlap.

   Note

   The number of ports that you select affects the scalability of the system. Keep the following in mind when specifying the number of ports:

   • 6 ports  is a minimum system requirement for machines with C-Werk.
   • In a 64-bit configuration, for any number of cameras, 6 ports are required.
   • 2 ports are required to write to the archive.
   • To use the Object Tracking database (track recording), 1 port is required.
   • To use basic detection tools, 2 ports are required.
   • To use Scene Analytics, 2 ports are required.
   • To use E-mail- (through SMTP) or server audio notification 1 port is required .
3. Restrict the visibility of Servers from various networks in the Servers list during the C-Werk setup (4). Possible values:
   1. "0.0.0.0/0" −  servers from all networks will be visible.
   2. "10.0.1.23/32,192.168.0.7/32" − only Servers from specified networks will be visible.
   3. "127.0.0.1" − only Servers from the local network will be visible.

After you save the settings, the Server will be restarted.
