Check Connectivity

Verify that source(s) can indeed connect to its destination(s)

We check if each source can indeed connect to each of its destinations. We measure network speed in the process and estimate transfer time if the entire media database in the source were to be migrated to the destination.

1

Begin

2

Copy the Speed Measurement program to the source recorder specified

Ensure that you copy the program to the correct recorder source as specified by the XPort application. The program won't function on other source recorders.

3

Extract and run the program on the source recorder

Instructions on the XPort Application
4

Wait for Completion

Wait until the program finishes on the specified source recorder. The program measures the network speed to each destination recorder expected to receive content from the source under consideration.

5

Repeat on Other Sources

If there are multiple recording server sources, the XPort wizard prompts the user to repeat the previous steps on each source recorder.

6

Review Transfer Speeds

After the process is repeated for each source recorder:

  1. XPort displays the connectivity status between each unique source-destination pair.

  2. XPort displays network speed measurement for media transfer between each unique source-destination pair.

  3. It also shows the estimated transfer times if the entire media database were to be transferred. Currently, there is no API support for XPort to estimate times for only a few cameras and/or within a specific time window.

  4. Use the numbers shown below as a rough estimate. You can input the measured network speed figures into the Migration calculator for a more precise time estimate. Media Migration Calculator

Then, click ">" in the Wizard to continue.
