SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Local CMS Server H/W Requirement
1. Hardware Specicaon on local server
Processor: i5 8400 (2.0GHz) or Higher | RAM: DDR4 8G or Higher
HDD: SSD 128/256GB or Higher
Network: Stac IP or xed DHCP address with Gigabit LAN
2. OS Specicaon
- OS: Ubuntu LTS x64 (Latest ver.)
- Operang CMS web browser: Chrome
- CMS port: 50005 or desired number ( do not use common port number such as
80, 8080, 443 and etc.)
Caution
The media contents (images & videos) will be saved into the local server and
ViewZ Smart AD PVM. When updang or changing CMS SW's schedule with media
contents, the saved contents (in Smart AD PVM) will be changed. That is, if user
delete media contents in the CMS SW, the saved media contents will be also deleted
on the Smart ADPVM.
Cloud CMS Server H/W Requirement
1. If you want to use the cloud server, please remember the minimum spec of
the local server when you choose the cloud server spec. Also, the data transfer
capacity is a very important issue.
Based on the result of tesng, ViewZ recommends that customers use over 3 TB for
the data-transfer limit.
ViewZ CMS soware uses approximately 1.8 TB/unit for basic data-transfer
(including log record, device connecon check and etc.)
2. Customers can setup the IP address of the cloud server as CMS SW access point.
3. Customers can also use a domain address for CMS SW access. However, you might
need a network specialist in this case.
Caution
This manual is designed for setup CMS SW on local server. However, you can also
use page 8 to 10 & 12 to 18 for the setup CMS SW on cloud server.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Wireless Connection
ViewZ Smart AD PVM can connect to the internet or intranet via wireless. The wireless router lets you access from
your network anywhere within the operang range of your wireless network. However, the operang distance or
range of your wireless connecon can vary signicantly depending on the physical placement of your router. For
example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range.
Addionally, other wireless access points in and around your home might aect your router’s signal. Wireless
access points are routers, repeaters, WiFi range extenders, or any other device that emits a wireless signal for
network access.
Place your router near the center of the area where ViewZ Smart AD PVM operate or place the router in an
elevated locaon, minimizing the number walls and ceilings between the router and ViewZ Smart AD PVM.
Place ViewZ Smart AD PVM away from electrical devices such as these:
- Ceiling fans, Home security systems
- Microwaves, Computers
- Base of a cordless phone, 2.4 GHz cordless phone
Place ViewZ Smart AD PVM away from large metal surfaces, large glass surfaces, and insulated walls
such as these:
- Solid metal door, Aluminum studs
- Fish tanks, Mirrors, Brick, Concrete
ViewZ recommends using a wired connecon via RJ-45 for solid connecon speed & reliability.
Please do not use hot-spot device to connect Intenet. It looks like hot-spot device can let you connect Smart AD
PVM to the Internet. However, hot-spot devices can interfere with the normal IP/DNS address.
ViewZ strongly recommends using clean/normal router to connect Internet.

• The port forwarding or port mapping is an applicaon for network address translaon (NAT) that redirects
a communicaon request from one address and port number combinaon to another while the packets are
traversing a network gateway, such as a router or rewall. This technique is most commonly used to make services
on a host, residing on a protected or masqueraded (internal) network, available to hosts on the opposite side of
the gateway (external network), by remapping the desnaon IP address and port number of the communicaon
to an internal host.
• Aer seng up port forwarding, you will have an open port number. The port forwarding setup process diers
depending on the router companies.
• General setup process of port forwarding is;
1) Login to router & open the port forwarding setup page
2) Create the port forwarding number (as you typed on #5). If you setup the specic port number
on step 5, please open that number (as you typed on #5) on your router.
3) Test your port forwarding is working.
4) Open the Chrome web browser and type the IP address with port number (see #5).
5) If you can see the above login window, the CMS installaon is done.
