Using a hotlist when the ALPR Manager role is hosted on an expansion server - Security Center 5.11

If the ALPR Manager role is hosted on a different server than the Directory role, both servers must have access to the hotlist file. The servers can either share the same hotlist file, or you can save an empty hotlist file on the Directory server.

Sharing the hotlist file on a network drive that is accessible by both servers:

1. Save the hotlist TXT file on a network drive that is accessible from the ALPR Manager server and the Directory server.
2. Share the directory containing the hotlist file. The directory must be accessible by both servers.
3. In the Security Center hotlist configuration, enter the path to the file as follows: \\PCNAME\Directory\file.txt.
   NOTE: You can enter the path when creating the hotlist, or you can modify the path in the Properties tab of an existing hotlist entity.
4. Enter the credentials for the drive hosting the hotlist file.
5. Click Apply.
   

Creating an empty hotlist:

1. Save the hotlist TXT file on the ALPR Manager server.
2. Save an empty TXT file with the same name on the Directory server.
   IMPORTANT: The empty file must be in the same path location on both servers. For example, if the hotlist is in C:\Hotlists on the ALPR manager server, then the empty file on the Directory server must also be in C:\Hotlists.
