ADD A DX9000 DVR TO THE SERVER CONFIGURATION
Before you can add a device to the server configuration, you must first start the device driver—either on the server workstation or on the
network—and then add the driver to the server configuration. Refer to the Device Drivers section for instructions.
1. Navigate the Object Browser tree to [project name] > Device Drivers > DX9000 Driver > Devices.
2. Double-click <Add New Device>. The Add New DX9000 dialog box appears.
You can also configure DX9000 settings after you have added the DVR to the server configuration. Right-click the DX9000, and then select
Edit from the pop-up menu. The Edit Properties dialog box appears, with the same tabs and fields as the Add New DX9000 dialog box.
3. Configure the DX9000 settings, as described in the following sections. Note that you must configure the settings in VMX300(-E) to match
the DVR settings configured through the software provided with the DVR. Refer to the appropriate DVR installation/operation manual for
information on internal DVR settings.
4. Click OK to close the Add New Device dialog box.
