Using Localhost IP Address
If you have problems trying to view recorded track data, then check to see the IP address of the Management Server:
...
Using localhost (127.0.0.1) as an IP address is not good practice as the system will not store track data and will not connect the UI to a separate PC.
...
Therefore, the Management Server must be configured to use an accessible interface and IP address.
The solution to this is to reinstall the system software with the database accessed via its outward facing IP address.

Time Syncing
If an alarm is given, but tracks do not appear, even though an alarm may be given, there could be a time syncing problem. PC’s will stay to within a second in a month, but other devices such as radar, cameras etc. may not. All devices should be synced to within a second, sometimes to within a quarter of a second.

In the command prompt type ping + radar IP address; e.g. ping 10.77.2.210
Press Enter. If the command prompt replies 4 times as in the picture below, then the network connection is good.
