Working with the system tab

On the system tab, you can create a name for the system, export and import settings from other systems, import and export graphics, configure timeout settings, and manage the license for the system.

Choose the features that you want to apply.

In the System Identification area, use the pane to create and edit metadata fields that you can use to refine a server search.
1. To add a metadata field, click the Plus icon and type the information in the corresponding field.
2. Click Apply.
The Settings area provides the following options:
- Click Import to restore settings or to import them from another system.
- Click Export for disaster recovery or malfunction, to export settings to a USB or network drive.
In the International characters area, you can display international characters when you type camera and server information. Click Enable, read the information and then click YES.

Note: You cannot reverse this action on the server, and it can cause international characters to display incorrectly on older versions of the exacqVision client.
The System Information area displays information about the system hardware.
The License area displays the system’s license information including subscription expiration and license usage.
- To generate a license key, use the MAC address of the system's primary network adapter.
- To obtain a license key online, contact your dealer and provide them with the system MAC address. You can then enter the license key in the License field. Unlicensed exacqVision servers can connect to only one IP device at a time.
The Permanent License area displays the system’s permanent license information. You can view the Permanent License pane only if you apply a trial license over a permanent license. If the systems license expires, a permanent license is reapplied automatically.
In the Global Settings area, you can configure the PTZ control timeout, 2-way audio control timeout, and VideoPush control timeout settings. Set the timeout settings to lock out multiple users for the selected number of seconds and prevent user access conflicts.
1. Use the arrows to select the required value in seconds.
2. Click Apply.
For more information on control timeout for each for these cameras, see PTZ cameras, 2-Way audio window, and VideoPush window.
