Usage of network disks

To use network disks as an archive, set the UNC paths to them in Axxon PSIM.

For details on working with network disks in Axxon PSIM installed as a service, see Using network disks of Axxon PSIM installed as a Service.

If you work in Windows Vista and Windows 7 OS, consider the following features:

1. For Windows Vista and Windows 7 OS with UAC enabled, it is necessary to connect network disks via command prompt with administrator rights. The way of connecting is described in Connecting network disks in Windows Vista and Windows 7 OS.
2. Access to network disks on computers with Windows Vista or Windows 7 OS can be forbidden when the User Account Control (UAC) is enabled. To enable access, create the EnableLinkedConnections key of the DWORD type with the 1 value in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System registry section. For details on working with registry keys, see Working with Windows OS registry.

To add a network disk by specifying the UNC path, do the following:

1. Go to the last line in the disk list and click the down key on the keyboard.
   

2. In the Disk column, specify the path to a network disk in the appeared line. The UNC path is set in the \\server_name\share_name format, where server_name is the name of the file server and share_name is the network name of the general folder.

   Note

   If there are any problems with writing the video/audio archive to network disks, then use the net use command of the Windows command prompt:

   net use disk_name: \\server_name\share_name  /delete
   net use disk_name: \\server_name\share_name  /USER:user_name

   Where user_name is a user that has rights to store to the selected network disk and on whose behalf the video module is launched.

   disk_name: is the name of the disk letter. You must perform these actions after each Windows OS reboot.

   For details about the net use command, see Microsoft's official documentation (www.microsoft.com).

3. In the Video column, set the checkbox for the created disk.
4. Click the Apply button.

Adding a network disk by specifying the UNC path is complete.
