Power 2 Series Server™

QuickStart Guide

Before You Begin

Before you connect and configure your system:

l Update your new VideoXpert™ Software to the latest version, which is available at

www.pelco.com.

l Ensure that the Microsoft OS on each computer on your system, including this server, has the latest

updates that address the most current known vulnerabilities. You can find this information at

www.microsoft.com.

On a continual basis:

l Frequently update the OS to ensure newly discovered vulnerabilities are patched as soon as a patch

is available.

l Frequently update anti-virus libraries with the latest patches.

Initial System Configuration

Your Video Management System (VMS), VideoXpert Professional Power 2 Series Server™, comes fully
prepared for use, with all drives and software installed. Just plug your server into a network with one or
more VideoXpert Workstations™, and you are ready to begin using VideoXpert Professional (VxPro)™.

For more information about your VxPro hardware and software, go to www.pelco.com/vxpro.

About VxPro

l Your system comes with the server-side components of VxPro installed. VxOpsCenter™ is not

installed; you should not use this system as a client workstation. See Using VxOpsCenter with

VxPro for more information.

l VxPro Server™ records video, routes media, administers users and permissions, and performs all

the server-side operations that you would expect from your VMS.
