To receive input pin events from your units in Security Center, the Archiver needs to open a TCP port for
its HTTP server. The default port is 8008; however, if this port is already in use on the
Archiver role machine, you must change the default port.
Procedure
-
On the Archiver role machine, navigate to the installation directory, for example,
C:\Program Files\Common Files\DVR Software
x.x\Extensions\Drivers\ on 32-bit machines, and C:\Program
Files (x86)\Common Files\DVR Software x.x\Extensions\Drivers\ on 64-bit
machines.
x.x refers to the Security Center version.
-
Open the EventHttpServerConfiguration.xml file in
Notepad.
Text similar to the following is
displayed:
<EventHttpServerConfiguration>
<HttpServerPort>8008</HttpServerPort>
</EventHttpServerConfiguration>
-
Change the value of the
HttpServerPort
from
8008 to something else, such as
8009.
NOTE: The value for the HttpServerPort
must be the same for all
standby Archivers associated with the unit.
-
Save the file, and restart the Archiver.
