Pelco C2631M-A manual Setting Up the DX8100, Accessing the Setup Mode

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.
