Configuration of the Video Server

After a successful installation of the video server components further configuration is necessary for the video server . In the following sections the configuration of a single server and a redundant server is shown:

Configuration of a simple Server

Specify the TCP port which shall be used for the video server with the entry Port in the section [ConfigClient] of "AccVimaccConfig.conf" (in C:\vimacc\config):
```
[ConfigServer]
Port=9370
```
Specify the host name and the port for the entry Server1 in the section [ConfigClient]. The clients use the host name and the port to connect to the server.
```
[ConfigClient]
Server1=WCCOA-SRV01 9370
```

Configuration of a redundant Server

Specify the TCP port for the use of the video server with the entry Port in the section [ConfigClient] in the config file .
```
[ConfigServer]
Port=9370
```
Specify the host names and the ports of both servers on which the video server is available for clients in the [ConfigClient] section by using the entries Server1 and Server2. The order of the Server entries defines which server shall be contacted first by the respective client.
```
[ConfigClient] 
Server1=<DNS name of server1> 9370 
Server2=<DNS name of server2> 9370 
```
Use the entry ServerPort in the section [Bridge] to specify the port used by both video servers for the synchronization. Enter the peer host name by using the entry ServerHost. Define the master server by using the config entry IAmServer.

Server 1:
```
[Bridge]
ServerPort=7001 
ServerHost=<DNS name of server2>
IAmServer=true
```
Server 2:
```
[Bridge]
ServerPort=7001 
ServerHost=<DNS name of server1>
IAmServer=false 
```

Note: After adjusting the configuration file accordingly, restart all vimacc services to activate the changes. You can run the scripts "Vimacc StopServices" and "Vimacc StartServices" from the group "video management system" as administrator to do so.

Note: The restart of all vimacc services is necessary to ensure configuration changes become active!
