Configure AFU to RSync server parameters

You can automatically upload recordings to an RSync server when you select RSync as the AFU protocol transfer type using the Admin panel.

The following table describes the parameters to configure for AFU to an RSync server.

RSync Automatic File Upload Configuration Parameters

Name	Description
Server address	The IP address (or fully qualified domain name) of the RSync server.
Server module	The name of the shared folder on the RSync server.
Login	Username for the RSync server.
Password	Password for the RSync user.
Checksum	Select to enable checksum checking during file transfer. This increases the time taken to transfer, but also increases reliability of the transfer.

Configure AFU upload to an RSync server using the Admin panel

1. From the Automatic File Upload configuration page, select RSync Client as the protocol transfer type.

2. Specify the target Server address. If your system is configured with DHCP or has a valid DNS configuration (see Configure DHCP), you can use the server’s fully qualified domain name instead of the IP address.
3. Specify the Server module. This is the name of the shared folder on the server. If needed, request this value from your network administrator.
4. Specify a username for the RSync Server in the Login field. The user must have write permissions for the module.
5. Specify the password for the user in the Password field; the value is masked by dots.
6. (Optional) Select the Checksum check box to add a checksum validation to the transfer between the system and the recipient server.
7. Click Apply.
