Maintenance

•Restart - The unit is restarted without changing any of the settings. Use this method if the unit is not behaving as expected.

•Restore - The unit is restarted and most current settings are reset to factory default val- ues. The settings that are not affected are:

•the boot protocol (DHCP or static)

•the static IP address

•the default router

•the subnet mask

•the system time

•Default - The default button should be used with caution. Pressing this will return all of the video server's settings to the factory default values (including the IP address)

•Upgrade Server - See Upgrading the firmware, on page 61.

•Backup - To take a backup of all of the parameters, and any user-defined scripts, click this button. If necessary, it is then possible to return to a previous configuration if set- tings are changed and there is unexpected behavior.

•Restore - click the Browse button to locate the saved backup file (see above) and then click the Restore button. The settings will be restored to the previous configuration.

Note: Backup and Restore can only be used on the same unit running the same firmware. This feature is not intended for multi-configurations or for firmware upgrades.
