Release Date: 6/10/2011



Applied to
GV-Recording Server

Symptom
When using GV-Recording Server to receive or transmit large number of IP channels within the LAN, network connection may become slow or interrupted.

Solution
To increase network bandwidth and avoid network bottleneck, you need to set up multiple networks and divide networks into different multiple subnets or segments. Then organize IP channels received and Clients transmitted into different networks.
  1. To set up multiple networks on GV-Recording Server, you need to install multiple network cards. Each network card is assigned a different IP address and subnet mask.

  2. Organize IP channels and Clients into groups and then assign each group to different network cards using the IP addresses you have set up.

    The GV-Recording Server can receive from up to 128 IP channels and transmit up to 300 channels. In the example above, the incoming 128 channels are divided among two network cards and the outgoing 300 channels are divided among four network cards to relieve network congestion.
