Setting Up the DX8100

Only a single user with Administrator or Power User access is allowed to access a DX8100’s Setup mode at one time. When connected to a
network supporting multiple DVRs and/or clients, users with Administrator access override and block Power Users. If two users with the same
access level attempt to enter Setup mode simultaneously, the DX8100 will allow access to setup features on a first-come, first-served basis.
Unavailable setup options will be grayed out.

DX8100 view panel. Major configuration categories are displayed on individual tabbed pages. Each configuration page contains all of the options
and parameters for the respective functions, which allows you to customize how the DX8100 operates for your particular application. To access
a setup page, click the icon displayed on the right side of the view panel.
The Setup dialog box allows Administrators and Power Users access to the DX8100’s setup functions. However, only Administrators can define
user names and passwords for new users.
