Server Settings (Linux/UNIX Computer)
• Step 1: Log onto the Linux/UNIX computer with root rights.
• Step 2: Create a new directory with a name of your choice (e.g. mxdata):
mkdir /mxdata.
• Step 3: Change the owner and the user group for this directory (e.g. 65534:
nobody and 0: nogroup): chown -R 65534:0 /mxdata.
• Step 4: Assign the required access rights for the directory: chmod 755 /
mxdata.
• Step 5: Use the ps aux | grep nfs command to check if the NFS server
is already running. If this is not the case, use the /etc/init.d/
nfsserver start command to start the service, or install the service
from scratch if it is not available.
• Step 6: Use the rpcinfo -p command to check if the
nfs
,
mountd
and
portmapper
services are executed. Normally,
nfs
and
mountd
are started by
the NFS server while
portmapper
is running as a separate service. If
port-
mapper
is not running, you can start it using the /etc/init.d/port-
mapper start command.
• Step 7: Open the
/etc/exports
file in a text editor and add the following line:
/mxdata <camera IP address> (rw,no_root_squash), e.g.
/mxdata 10.1.0.99 (rw,no_root_squash)
• Step 8: To re-initialize the list of entries in
/etc/exports
, execute the ex-
portfs -a command.
• Step 9: Next, restart the NFS server. Execute the following command:
/etc/init.d/nfsserver restart.
This completes the configuration of the Linux/UNIX server.

converts a standard PC into a Linux file server in a couple
of minutes. The cameras can use this server as exter-
nal ring buffer storage.
