1.4 Configuration Manager
The Configuration Manager 1.6 provides the following features
(the availability of these depends on the environment in which
the program is used):
– Network Scan
This function automatically detects all compatible devices
in a network, such as video senders (e.g. VIP X1600), video
receivers (e.g. VIP XD) or NVRs.
– Device information and configuration
Comparable with the Web browser view, the Configuration
Manager shows the current configuration for each device
and allows you to change the settings.
– Multiple configuration
You can use the Configuration Manager to make individual
settings for multiple devices simultaneously (e.g. time
settings), allowing you to configure large systems more
quickly.
– Device system integration
You can use the Device allocator in the Configuration
Manager to make devices accessible for use with the
VIDOS Lite Viewer or the Archive Player.
– Basic configuration for BVIP programs
For certain BVIP programs (Bosch Video over IP),
fundamental system settings are made using the
Configuration Manager.
– Access to license management
Firmware modules requiring a license, such as IVMD
(Intelligent Video Motion Detection), are set up using the
Configuration Manager.
– Work offline
The Configuration Manager allows you to make settings for
selected devices offline. When in operation, the
configuration data of the devices is transferred to your
computer where it can be edited offline.

This functionality can also be used to back up the
configuration data of the devices locally. If, for example, a
device needs to be replaced by another of the same type,
this data can then be transferred to the new device.
This functionality is extended with the Replacement
command. Replaced devices are detected and automatic
configuration is possible thanks to the saved data.
– Simpler access to devices
The Snapshot scan gives an overview of all the cameras
that provide video data. The snapshots can be used to
identify the camera and device, and give you direct access
to said camera or device.

2 Installation and Starting
2.1 Installation
The Configuration Manager is automatically part of the
installation for all BVIP programs that require it for
configuration purposes.
Each device that can be set up using the Configuration Manager
is supplied with a CD on which you will find the installation file
for the Configuration Manager.
You can install the Configuration Manager on as many
computers running Microsoft Windows as you wish.
2.2 Starting the program
After successful installation, you will find the following icon on
your desktop:
Double click this icon to start the program.
The Configuration Manager can also be called up from the Start
menu. Several BVIP programs enable you to start the
Configuration Manager directly within the relevant program.
Operation of the Configuration Manager varies according to the
context in which it is being used. In some cases, it is merely a
tool that enables you to configure BVIP devices more
conveniently and more comprehensively. For certain BVIP
programs and firmware modules, however, the Configuration
Manager is indispensable, as it is the only way to set these up.

with the Configuration Manager, Seite 23.
