The LIVEPAGE

Once the connection is established, the Web browser displays the LIVEPAGE. It shows the live video image on the right of the browser window. Depending on the configuration, various text overlays may be visible on the live video image (see Section 5.13 Advanced Mode: Display Stamping, page 38).

Other information may be shown next to the live video image on the LIVEPAGE. The display depends on the settings on the LIVEPAGE Functions page (see Section 5.15 Advanced Mode: LIVEPAGE Functions, page 41).

Maximum number of connections

If you do not connect, the unit may have reached its maximum number of connections. Depending on the unit and network configuration, each VIP X1 XF can have up to 25 Web browser connections or up to 50 connections via Bosch Video Client or Bosch Video Management System.

Protected VIP X1 XF

If the VIP X1 XF is password protected against unauthorized access, the Web browser displays a corresponding message and prompts you to enter the password when you attempt to access protected areas.

1. Enter the user name and associated password in the corresponding text fields.

2. Click OK. If the password is entered correctly, the Web browser displays the page that was called up.

Protected network

If a RADIUS server is employed in the network for managing access rights (802.1x

authentication), the VIP X1 XF must be configured accordingly, otherwise no communication is possible (see Section Authentication, page 87).
