NVR and Auth Server are connect correctly.

4. Now we need to use ERM to connect to NVR via Auth Server, so first in Auth Server
Click the “Control Center List” and add a client, in this case we name it “James Test2” as an example.
(the name will have to be different from one created on DVR List), this actually add the Control Center Service of NVR to Auth Server.

Now in ERM, find in the bottom “Host list by ID”

2017-11-03_16h32_06.jpg (13.23 KiB) Viewed 4376 times

Calls up the following screen:

2017-11-03_16h32_19.jpg (19.57 KiB) Viewed 4376 times

Authorized ID and Password= the one set at Auth Server.
Client Name= the name on Control Center List, so ERM can connect to NVR’s “Control Center Server”.
