Change host name
The “Host name” is used for the homepage title of main page and displays as the title
over the video window on the main page. The maximum string length is 40 characters or
20 characters in double-byte-character-systems like Chinese or Japanese.
Adjust date and time
There are three ways to adjust system date and time. The easiest is to make Video
Server "Sync with computer time". The second “Manual” is to set the date and time
manually by entering new values. Notice the format in the related field while typing. The
third “Automatic” is to make Video Server automatically synchronize with timeservers
over the Internet every month. It may fail if the assigned NTP server cannot be reached
or Video Server is within a local network. Leaving the NTP server blank will let Video
Server connect to default time servers. Domain name or IP address format is acceptable
as long as DNS server is available. Do not forget setting the "Time zone" offset for local
settings. Refer to the Appendix G for the time zone of your region. It only affects the hour
in NTP method.
Once the settings are changed, click on “Save” to validate changes.
