Connect to an update server in your network

To view and update your VMS components, you must connect to an update server.

1. Select the XProtect Update Manager icon to start the application.

2. To connect to the update server, you must authenticate with Windows user credentials with administrator permissions on the update server host. Select one of these login types:

   • Current user - log in using the same Windows user credentials as your current login.

   • Windows authentication - specify a Windows user name and password.

3. Specify the update server's host name or IP address and select Log in.

If you are logging in for the first time and you use a system-generated certificate to connect to the update server, you get a security notification. By default, the self-signed certificate is not trusted by your computer. To connect securely to the update server, compare the certificate details from this page with the certificate details on the update server computer and click Accept and continue.
