Configuring the VMS
Network
NIC
To configure an NIC:
1. Choose Settings > Network > NIC.
2. Specify parameters displayed.
3. Click Apply.
Note that all NICs must use the same default gateway.
If NICs are located on different network segments, you need to create a port mapping table. You are
advised to use G-LAN1 for NAT connection.
Static Route
Networking devices forward packets using route information that is either manually configured or
dynamically learned using a routing protocol. Static routes are manually configured and define an explicit
path between two networking devices. Unlike a dynamic routing protocol, static routes are not
automatically updated and must be manually reconfigured if the network topology changes.
The benefits of using static routes include security and resource efficiency. Static routes use lower
27
bandwidth than dynamic routing protocols and no CPU cycles are used to calculate and communicate
routes. The main disadvantage to using static routes is the lack of automatic reconfiguration if the
network topology changes.
To add a static route:
1. Choose Settings > Network > Static Route.
2. Click Add.
3. In the displayed Add Record dialog box, specify parameters displayed.
4. Click Submit.
NAT
Address translation substitutes the real address in a packet with a mapped address that is routable on
the destination network. The network address translation (NAT) technique includes the following
processes:
 Translate a real address into a mapped address
 Undo translation for returning traffic
To configure NAT settings:
1. Choose Settings > Network > NAT.
2. Select an Ethernet port from the Ethernet Port drop-down list.
3. Select a mapping mode.
 Manual: If you select this value, you need to create the same port-mapping table on both the
VMS and router in operation.
 Semi-auto: If you select this value, you need to create a port-mapping table on the VMS. The
router, however, must support the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology.
 Auto: If you select this value, the router in operation will allocate mapped ports to the VMS. The
28
router, however, must support the UPnP technology.

Note that the UPnP technology supports only single-layer NAT port mapping.
If you select the Manual mode:
1) Select a port number.
2) Click Edit.
3) In the displayed dialog box, specify parameters displayed.
4) Click Apply.
5) Copy the port mapping relation to the router in operation.
If you select the Semi-auto mode, repeat steps 1 through 4 mentioned above.
4. Assign mapping port numbers to VMS ports.
5. Click Apply.
NOTE
If the VMS is located in a NAT-enabled network but the CU not, CU users cannot play back or download records.
The NAT settings on the VMS and its slave VMS (if any) must be consistent. However, the mapped ports cannot be
shared between them. For example, if port 80 is assigned to the master VSM, this port can no longer be assigned to the
29
slave VMS.
If the mapping mode is manual and the VMS IP address is changed, you need to update the VMS IP address on the router.
This operation is not required for the other mapping modes.
DDNS
The Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) update integrates DNS with DHCP. The two protocols are
complementary: DHCP centralizes and automates IP address allocation; DDNS update automatically
records the association between assigned addresses and hostnames at pre-defined intervals.
The DDNS allows frequently changing address-hostname associations to be updated frequently. Mobile
hosts, for example, can then move freely on a network without user or administrator intervention. DDNS
provides the necessary dynamic update and synchronization of the name-to-address mapping and
address-to-name mapping on the DNS server.
To configure the DDNS settings:
1. Choose Settings > Network > DDNS.
2. Click Edit under DDNS.
3. Enter a domain name for the VMS in the DDNS Service text box.
4. Click Apply.
After the preceding steps are performed, users can access the VMS through its domain name.
Module
You can disable or enable modules on the Module sub-tab page.
30
The following table describes the GBS, MTS, CUI1, MSS, PUIGB, CAPS, NKM, SSHD modules showed
in the preceding figure.
Module Description
GBS Enabling this module is recommended when GB-compliant PUs or devices need to
access the VMS.
MTS Enabling this module is recommended when streams need to be converted to
GB-compliant streams.
CUI1 Enabling this module is recommended when Kedacom solutions/G300/G400/G700 need
to access the VMS.
After the CUI1 is enabled, you will prompted as follows:
Then you need to click More to configure the VMS:

1. Select a level according to actual conditions.
31
Module Description
The Level parameter indicates the cascading level of the VMS. Level 1 is the top
level.
2. Specify ID.
In this step, enter a digit (1-99) in each text box.
If the level is 2, enter one digit.
If the level is 3, enter two digits. The first digit must be the one entered for the VMS of
level 2.
If the level is 4, enter three digits. The first and second digits must be the ones
entered for the VMS of level 2 and the VMS of level 3.
This rule applies to all eight levels.

For example, if the single digit of VMS A (level 2) is 12 and the two digits of VMS B
(level 3) are 12 and 34, then the three digits of VMS C must be "12 + 34 + X (value
range: 1-99)".
The entire ID contains 32 bits.
For KEDACOM solutions, the ID of the top-level VMS must be
"55000000000000000050000000000000".
3. Click Apply.
The preceding configurations are required by Kedacom solutions/G300/G400/G700 when
they need to access the VMS.
MSS Enabling this module is recommended when a large number of users request to view and
play back videos on the VMS.
PUIGB Enabling this module is recommended when a large number of GB-compliant PUs access
the VMS.
CAPS When this module and the MSS modules are enabled, WeChat users can view videos on
the VMS.
NKM Enabling this module is recommended when keyboard users need to switch video
viewings on the VMS.
32
Module Description
SSHD This module allows the background program to configure the VMS.
General
On the General sub-tab page, you can:
 Change the VMS name (the change can take effect only after the VMS is rebooted.)
 Extend the access capability for GB-compliant PUs
 Configure Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) settings
With a STUN server, two hosts located behind two different NAT-enabled networks can discover
their own public IP address and communicate with each other.
Run the STUNTEST tool to check whether STUN settings work properly.
 If yes, the settings are successful.
 If not, deploy another STUN server and apply its IP address.
Note that the default value for Webserver Port is 80. You cannot set this parameter to 90, which is
occupied by the Media Streaming Server (MSS).
 Set the system time
Note that a slave or lower-level VMS synchronizes its system time with its master or upper-level
VMS. Therefore, you do not need to set the system time for the slave or lower-level VMS.
 Enter the name and IP address of an upper-level VMS
 Reboot or shut down the VMS
 Import or export a mirror file for the VMS
 Restore factory defaults for the VMS
 Upgrade the VMS
Editing the VMS Name
To edit the VMS name, enter a new name in the Domain Name text box and click Apply. The following
is an example.
Extend the Access Capability for GB-compliant PUs

For details on how to extend the access capability for GB-compliant PUs, see the CUI1 description in
Module > Configuring the VMS.
Configuring STUN Settings
For the IP Address of the STUN Server parameter, enter the IP address of the STUN server deployed
on the outermost network.
For the Webserver Port parameter, the default value is 80. If this port is prohibited by the telecom
operator, you must set this parameter to another value, for example, 81. Then, you need to add the new
port to the IP address of the VMS before you can log in to the CU and PMC. The following is an example.
The Webserver Port parameter cannot be set to 90 because port 90 is reserved for the MSS.
Setting the System Time
33
You can either synchronize the VMS time with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server or manually enter a
time for the VMS.
If the VMS in operation is a slave or lower-level VMS, you do not need to set the system time because it
will synchronize the system time with its master or upper-level VMS.
Renewing Upper-level VMS Information
When the upper-level VMS information is changed, you can configure the following to update the
upper-level VMS information to ensure that the VMS in operation can reach its upper-level VMS.
Guobiao (GB)
The VMS allows for the access from GB-compliant PUs and can work with GB-compliant VMSs.
Configuring the Basic GB Information
To configure the basic GB information for the VMS:
1. Configure Administrative Division.
When this parameter is configured, the GB ID parameter is automatically configured. The following
is an example.
For the Administrative Division parameter, you can enter a value instead of choosing a value from
the value list.
When the GBS is enabled on the upper-level VMS and multiple lower-level VMSs are cascaded, the
lower-level VMSs can use their own GB IDs.
Note that GB-compliant VMSs on different network segments can still be cascaded.
2. Use the default value for the GB Port Number parameter.
Note that changes made to this parameter value on the PMC do not take effect.
3. Set Transcoder IP Address and Transcoder Port Number to the IP address and port number of
the MTS, respectively.
If you use an internal MTS, you do not need to configure these parameters. All you need is to enable
the MTS module.
Note that the MTS can be located on a network segment different from the one where the VMS in
operation is located.
4. Click More to configure what kind of recordings can be queried by the upper-level VMS.
The parameter values are as follows.
34
The following table describes parameter values.

Value Description
