Administering the DX8000

This section describes how to perform DX8000 system administration and includes the following topics:

•Updating the DX8000 Server and Client Applications on page 212

•Recovering a Password on page 215

UPDATING THE DX8000 SERVER AND CLIENT APPLICATIONS

From time to time, software updates may be made available for both the DX8000 server and client applications. These updates will be free and

will be made available on compact disc from Pelco. When an update is issued, it must be loaded onto a single DX8000 Series DVR server. Once

installed on a server, the updates will be automatically distributed to clients on the same network when the client applications are started.

Remote DX8000 severs can be updated from a local DVR using the Software Upgrade utility.

To start the update process:

1. From the DX8000 menu bar, choose File > Software Upgrade.

2. The Select Upgrade Package dialog box opens.
