Configuring Masstech

Before you begin, verify the following:

The Masstech server must have sufficient storage for archived clips.
The Masstech server must be connected to the Control and streaming/FTP networks.
The K2 system must be assigned with the role of FTP Server.
Verify that K2 systems, GV STRATUS Core server, and the archive device can all communicate with each other on the streaming/FTP network. Use the ping command at the MS-DOS command prompt to test each device's streaming/FTP network name, which includes the _he0 suffix.

In a web browser, log on to the Masstech server administration page using the administrator account.
Navigate to Management | Security | User Information and click Add New User.
