4 4 en Background Independent Operator Client Background As of Bosch Video Management System V3.0 a new feature called Independent Operator Client is available. If an Operator Client is disconnected and offline from the Management Server, it is possible to continue working. Some main functions e.g. live and playback video are still available. Benefits With the feature of the Independent Operator Client new benefits are available as follows: Client continues operation for Live, Playback and Export. If a workstation was connected once, it can log on offline any time with any user. Client does not need to be restarted or re-logon after configuration activation. Restart of clients can be forced after activation if required. Operator Clients states A Bosch VMS Operator Client gives you a visual and textual feedback of its states in the menu bar. Following Operator Client states are possible: The Operator Client is connected to the Management Server. The Operator Client is not connected to the Management Server. One reason can be a physical disconnection from the Management Server to the network. 4 5 This state can only be displayed after a reestablished connection to the Management Server. All affected functions are back, but the configuration of the Operator Client is outdated due to a newer configuration available in the system. Log on again to update the configuration. New device state overlay The device states (recording dot, too noisy, too dark,...) are processed by the Management Server. On disconnection between Client and Server the states cannot be updated in the Client. A new state overlay will give you a visual feedback that all device states are not available at the moment. If the client has an established connection to the server again the state overlays will be updated automatically. State unknown The state overlay of a device in the Logical Tree or on a map when client is disconnected to the Management Server. Reasons for disconnection Reasons for disconnection between Operator Client and Management Server can be: Physical connection is broken. Software version mismatch of Management Server and Operator Client. Password of logged in user has changed during offline time. Management Server has given away floating workstation license to another online Operator Client while the now disconnected Operator Client was offline V2 DOC Software Manual Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH

5 Independent Operator Client Background en 5 6 Functions not available during Management Server disconnection When disconnected from Management Server the following functions are not available in Operator Client: Alarm List: This includes handling alarms. The alarm list is empty and will automatically be filled on reconnection. Allegiant: The trunk line handling is not available. In earlier versions, Allegiant cameras were automatically closed with a message-box when a trunkline handling was unavailable. With 3.0 we will show a more user friendly cameo informing the user about the impossibility to display this camera right now. AMG: It is not possible to drag cameras on the AMG control. The control is disabled and will automatically be enabled on reconnection. Dome priorities: Without a connection to Management Server, an offline Operator Client can connect a PTZ camera as long as the PTZ camera itself is not locked. The dome priorities will automatically be updated on reconnection. Input: Input cannot be switched. Logbook: The logbook is not available and cannot be opened. An opened logbook search window will not be closed automatically. Existing search results can be used and exported. Operator Client SDK: Operator Client SDK functions with IServerApi cannot be processed. Creating a RemoteClientApi is not possible. Some methods that are only available at client API do not work, for example ApplicationManager (try GetUserName()). Password change: The operator is not able to change his password. Relay: Relays cannot be switched. Server Script: The server methods of the IServerApi will be processed but cannot be sent to the Client which are: AlarmManager AnalogMonitorMananger CameraManager CompoundEventManager DecoderManager DeviceManager DomeCameraManager EventManager InputManager LicenseManager Logbook MatrixManager RecorderManager Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH Software Manual V2 DOC
