- Log into your new server and create a channel




- Choosing the wrong version of Ubuntu Linux for the droplet
- You must choose Ubuntu 14.04.5 x64
- Other versions will not work with the software
- Under each operating system icon, there is a drop-down menu to select the correct version. The default version is not compatible.
- You must choose Ubuntu 14.04.5 x64



- Not choosing the server location closest to you
- If you are in the United States, do not choose London

- Not correctly pasting the commands for the "User Data" box
- If you have issues copying and pasting the installation script commands on page 3 of the manual (9 of the PDF), download this .TXT file
- Open the file, and press ctrl-A to select all text, then ctrl-C to copy to your clipboard
- Go back to your Digital Ocean setup page and click inside the User Data text box, then press ctrl-V to paste the commands
- Note: The .txt file is not a script file, it is the commands properly formatted to paste into the User Data box on Digital Ocean

Once the Droplet is created, you will see in your Digital Ocean console an IP address comprised of 4 numbers with periods in-between, this is the location of the server on the internet. This is the URL for your DVS-200 software, it can accessed from any computer with a web browser and internet connection.
Note: This is a public IP, so anyone with this IP address can access the login page. This is different from the local IP addresses on your LAN (aka Local Area Network). LAN addresses typically start with 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x.
Once you login, enter the default username admin and password 000000 (zeroes). You will now see the DVS-200 interface via the Live tab.
Along the top, you will see other tabs, you want to click on the Settings tab. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and on the lower right corner of the Settings menu, and click on the words Manage Licenses. Assuming you already purchased a DVS-200 license from your Datavideo re-seller, you would have received a .zip file that is a string of letters and numbers. Extract the .lic file inside with the same name, and follow the onscreen instructions to browse for the .lic file and upload it to the server.
Once completed, after approximately 60 seconds you should be able to access the Live tab again. Click the words Create New Live Channel and give it a name, making sure to put underscores between each word.
Leave all the settings as their default, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click the Save Channel button.
Keep this page open in your browser, you will need to come back to it when you finish setting up the NVS-25.
