94NetBotz Appliance User’s Guide
The maximum number of shared pods that an appliance can manage depends on the appliance.
Shared pods are designated using the Pod, Pelco Camera, and Rack Access PX-HID Sharing icon in the
Appliance Settings area of the Configuration view. Once pods are shared, they appear in the Navigation
pane, and icons appear in the Pod/Sensor Settings area of the Configuration view. Shared pods are
configured in the same manner as sensor pods and camera pods that are integrated with or connected to
the appliance.
The image timestamp on a shared camera pod is determined by the appliance where the pod is
connected.
Note: To configure the Image Quality setting on a shared camera pod, you must use
Advanced View to connect directly to the appliance where the pod is located and change the
setting.
For more information on configuring shared pods, see “Sensor Pods” on page 68 and
“Camera Pods” on page 36.

1. From the Appliance Settings area of the Configuration view, double-click the Pod & Rack Access
PX-HID Sharing icon. The Pod & Rack Access PX-HID Sharing Configuration window opens.
