LED Settings

The Status indicator LED can be set to flash at a configurable interval (or to not light up at all) whenever the unit is accessed. For a listing of all LED behavior, see page 7, or the online help.

Note: The LED does not flash when the stream is retrieved using MPEG-4 multicast.

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 the factory default values. The only settings saved 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 camera's settings, including the IP address, to the factory default values. The camera will then have to be re-installed.

Upgrade Server - See Upgrading the Firmware, on page 43.

Backup - To take a backup of all of the parameters, and any user-defined scripts, click the Backup button. If necessary, it is then possible to return to the previous settings if the settings 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 the configuration of multiple units or for firmware upgrades.
