I/O Ports - the pinout, interface support and the control and monitoring functions provided by this connector are described in I/O Terminal Connector, on page 36.

LED Settings

The Network Indicator LED can be enabled or disabled, according to requirements and 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 that the Status LED does not flash when the stream is retrieved using MPEG-4 multicast.

Maintenance

Restart - The camera is restarted without changing any of the settings.

Restore - The unit is restarted and most current settings are reset to factory default values. The settings that will not be reset are as follows:

the boot protocol (DHCP or static)

the static IP address

the default router

the subnet mask

the wireless settings

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

Upgrade Server - See Upgrading the Firmware, on page 40.

Backup - To take a backup of all of the parameters, and any user-defined scripts, click this button. If necessary, it will then be possible to return to the previous settings, if 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.
