Setting Up the DX8000
Only a single user with Administrator or Power User access is allowed to access a DX8000’s Setup mode box 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 wit h the same
access level attempt to enter Setup mode simultaneously, the DX8000 will allow access to setup features on a first-come, first-served basis.
Unavailable setup options will be grayed-out.
