To get here

1From a local or remote (not accessible from a global keyboard), log on as the ‘admin’ user.

2Press (hotkeys can change).

3 Press to select ‘More menus’.

4 Select ‘Functions’.

5 Select ‘Configure IP port’.

The name entered here will be displayed on the local menus and the remote VNC/browser windows.

Time and Date

Use the left and right arrow keys to select the correct time and date. The time entry uses the 24 hour clock notation. The internal real time clock will continue to run for roughly one week without power to the unit, after that it will be lost and require resetting. Use the up and down arrow keys to move between each of the sections within the time and date entries.

Encryption

Three options are available: Always on, prefer off, prefer on. The one to choose depends on the specific details of your installation - see Encryption settings for details. The use of encryption imposes a slight performance overhead of roughly 10% but is highly secure against third party intrusion.
