the Sharp’s database if the connection with the HTTP server is lost.
The system will try to re-connect with the server every 30 seconds.
Stored reads will be pushed to the server when the connection is
re-established. To check how many reads are in the Sharp's database,
click Show Extension Details in the Sharp Portal. If the check box is
cleared, the Sharp will not
store reads locally if the connection with the HTTP server is
lost.
NOTE: If there are any plate reads in the Sharp's database,
clearing this check box and saving the configuration will delete
the plate reads.

Send LPR data to Patroller. Select
Auto if you are using the current version of Patroller, or
select an older version of Patroller from the list (the Sharp is backward compatible).The following option appears:
- Discovery port
- Port on which the Sharp listens for discovery requests. This port
number must match the discovery port entered in Genetec

- Connect to Security
Center
- Use this only if the autodiscovery of connected
Sharps does not work. You will need to enter the Hostname or IP
address and port of the Security
Center computer. For example, if a
Sharp is connected to a WiFi router, and
the Sharp’s IP address is then changed, the LPR Manager cannot detect the change
automatically, so you can use this to reconnect to the Security
Center computer. Once you've entered the
Hostname or IP address, click
 to validate the connection.
You will not be able to save your configuration if the connection is
invalid.
