FTP Server Enable
1 to 8 servers are available for FTP. The parameters for these servers are set in the
Configuration: FTP File Transfer > Server menu screen of IWS. When more than one server
is enabled, the appliance will transfer the newly recorded file to each of the enabled severs, up
to a maximum of eight.
Since FTP transfer can be a slower process than the recording process, it is possible to
overrun the FTP queue, especially if many servers are enabled. Also, if operating in Batch
record mode and the recorder attempts to open a new file that has not been completely
transferred, the recorder will stop. The Failure condition is noted in the Recorder Status
menu.
Configuration: Recorder > Network
The Network configuration tab is only displayed if you select Dedicated for Recorder Source
on the previous Configuration: Recorder > General page.
Recorder Source Defines the source of video for record. When Dedicated is selected
as the Recorder source, the Network option screen appears as a
selection. The Network selections allow the user to set parameters
necessary to record video from a particular Receive IP address and
Port. If a slot is selected as the Recorder Source, the Network screen
does not appear and whatever video is being received by the
designated decoder is recorded.
Dedicated – Indicates that the settings are read from the VBStar
settings on the Configuration: Recorder > Network
page is IWS.
Decoder Slot # – Indicates that the settings are set for a specific
Decoder Network Configuration. When a Slot # is specified, the
Network option does not appear since it has no affect.

mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm
format (with
hh:mm in 24-hour format).

Batch Wrap Point Sets the number of batch files (1–999) that will be recorded before
