Usage
Once these parameters have been entered, it is recommended that you press the “Test Connection”
button to verify that the settings are correct. (If an incorrect password has been entered, attempting
to use the plug-in could cause the specified user to be temporarily locked out of the switch due to
too many incorrect password attempts.) If an error occurs with “Test Connection”, verify that
network connectivity to the switch exists and all the parameters have been entered correctly.
If “Test Connection” succeeds, save the configuration using the save icon at the upper left, or type
Ctrl-S.
Associate Cameras to ATI Switch Ports
To provide more convenient management of switch ports, the Milestone XProtect Management
Client may be used to associate cameras to switch ports. If the switches and cameras are powered
on and connected, this association can be done easily using the Allied Telesis Milestone Integration
Plug-In. Click the “Query Ports” button.
The plug-in will query the switch for its list of ports and determine if any cameras have been
discovered on those ports. When the port list appears, click “Auto-Assign Cameras” to
automatically associate any discovered cameras to their corresponding ports. Alternatively, use the
selection menus next to each port to choose a camera to associate. Once the desired camera
associations have been made, save the configuration using the save icon at the upper left, or type
Ctrl-S.
