Setting up your appliance in the SV Control Panel

The first time you log on to your Streamvault™ appliance, the SV Control Panel opens the Streamvault Control Panel setup wizard to guide you through the initial setup.

1. Start your appliance.
   The SV Control Panel starts with the Streamvault Control Panel setup wizard open.

   Note: The SV Control Panel only opens automatically the first time that the appliance starts. In subsequent restarts, users must log on using their Admin credentials and start the SV Control Panel.
2. On the Introduction page, click Next.
3. On the Network page, configure the IP connection settings:
   1. For an appliance with two network interface cards, select the card you want to configure from the Network interface list.
      The Network interface list is hidden when only one network interface card is connected.
   2. If you use DHCP to obtain an IP automatically (default) and the IP address is missing, click Refresh () to get a new IP address. Then click Retry.
   3. If you want to specify the IP settings, click Use static configuration and enter a unique IP address for this appliance.
   4. If the Status field displays something other than "Connected to the Internet", click Retry.
   5. When the Status field displays "Connected to Internet", click Next.
4. On the Computer setup page, complete the fields in the General information and Regional settings sections.

   Note: Users with administrative privileges automatically have removable storage access.

   Enable Smart Cards support

   Create or use a smart card reader with the Security Desk application. To prevent malicious software from affecting the device, this option has been turned off by default.

   Remote Desktop

   Allow people in your network to log on to the appliance by using a Remote Desktop application. The Incoming remote connections option must also be turned on to allow access for Remote Desktop. To prevent malicious software from affecting the device, this option has been turned off by default.

   File sharing

   Allow people in your network to share files and folders that are on the appliance. The Incoming remote connections option must also be turned on to allow file sharing. To prevent malicious software from affecting the device, this option has been turned off by default.

9. Read the information on the About CylancePROTECT page and click Next.
10. On the Configure CylancePROTECT page, choose a communication mode:

    Online (recommended)

    When online, the CylancePROTECT Agent communicates with Genetec to report new threats, update its agent, and send data to help improve its mathematical models. This option offers the highest level of protection.

    Disconnected

    The disconnected mode is for an appliance without an internet connection. In this mode, CylancePROTECT cannot connect or send information to Genetec management services in the cloud. Your appliance is protected against most threats. Maintenance and updates are available through the Genetec™ Update Service (GUS).

    Turn off

    Select this mode to permanently uninstall CylancePROTECT from your appliance. Your appliance will use Microsoft Defender for threat protection and detection. We do not recommend turning off CylancePROTECT if the appliance cannot receive virus definition updates for Microsoft Defender.

    Important: When CylancePROTECT is turned off, you cannot change between Disconnected and Online. To change these settings, you must reset the software image on your appliance.
11. To access logs and advanced features for your system, click Run CylancePROTECT in advanced UI mode > Next .
12. On the System Availability Monitor page, choose a data collection method:

    Do not collect data

    The System Availability Monitor Agent is installed but doesn’t collect any data.

    Data will be collected anonymously

    No activation code is required. Health data is sent to a dedicated Health Monitoring Service where the entity names are disguised and untraceable. This data is used only by Genetec Inc. for statistics and can’t be accessed through GTAP.

    Data will be collected and linked to my system

    An activation code is required. The health data that is collected is linked to a system that is registered with an active System Maintenance Agreement (SMA).

13. Read the confidentiality agreement, select the I accept the terms in the confidentiality agreement checkbox, and click Apply.
14. On the Conclusion page, click Close.
    The Start the activation wizard after setup option is selected by default. If you clear it, you are reminded to activate the product.
