Configuration

Step-by-Step

Prerequisites​

Before You Begin

  • ✅ Administrative access to Uniview device configuration
  • ✅ Network connectivity to device
  • ✅ Proper firewall configuration for device communication

Step 1: Network Configuration​

Step 1: Network Configuration

UI path: Uniview Device → Network Settings

Configuration Steps

  1. Set up the client's network settings so it can communicate with other devices or servers
  2. Configure IP address (static or DHCP), subnet mask, default gateway, DNS servers, and possibly proxy settings
  3. Proper network configuration ensures the client device can access local network resources and the internet securely and reliably

Expected result: Network connectivity established for device communication

Step 2: Time Configuration​

Step 2: Time Configuration

UI path: Uniview Device → Time Settings

Configuration Steps

  1. Set the correct time, date, and time zone on the client device
  2. Time synchronization is often handled via NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers
  3. Accurate time configuration is crucial for logging, security protocols (like SSL/TLS), and scheduled tasks to function correctly

Important: Time synchronization via NTP servers is crucial for accurate logging and security protocols. Ensure NTP is properly configured.

Expected result: Time synchronization configured with NTP servers

Step 3: Alarm Configuration​

Step 3: Alarm Configuration

UI path: Uniview Device → Alarm Settings

Configuration Steps

  1. Alarm configuration allows the client device to generate alerts or notifications based on certain events or conditions, such as system failures, high resource usage, or connectivity issues
  2. These alarms can be set to trigger visual indicators, sounds, or even send notifications via email or SMS, depending on the system's capabilities

Expected result: Alarm notifications configured for event detection

Step 4: Basic Setup​

Step 4: Basic Setup

UI path: Uniview Device → Basic Settings

Configuration Steps

  1. Basic setup refers to the initial configuration of the client device to prepare it for operation

  2. This can include:

    • Language and region settings
    • Setting up user accounts
    • Installing essential software
    • Configuring input/output devices
    • Performing initial security configurations (like enabling firewalls or antivirus)

Expected result: Uniview device successfully added and discovered in GCXONE

Step 6: Verify Integration​

Step 6: Verify Integration

Verification Checks

  • ✅ Verify network connectivity is working
  • ✅ Test time synchronization with NTP servers
  • ✅ Confirm alarm notifications are functioning
  • ✅ Check basic settings are properly applied
  • ✅ Verify device discovery in GCXONE

Expected result: Complete Uniview integration with GCXONE platform

Troubleshooting​

Common Issues and Solutions

  • Verify IP address, subnet mask, and gateway configuration
