Maintenance
• Restart - The unit is restarted without changing any of the settings. Use this
method if the unit is not behaving as expected.
• Restore - The unit is restarted and most current settings are reset to the factory
default values. The only settings saved are:
• the boot protocol (DHCP or static)
• the static IP address
• the default router
• the subnet mask
• the system time
• Default - The Default button should be used with caution. Pressing this will
return all of the camera's settings, including the IP address, to the factory default
values. The camera will then have to be re-installed.
Upgrade Server - See Upgrading the Firmware, on page 45.
Backup - To take a backup of all of the parameters, and any user-defined scripts, click the
Backup button. If necessary, it is then possible to return to the previous settings if the
settings are changed and there is unexpected behavior.
Restore - click the Browse button to locate the saved backup file (see above) and then click
the Restore button. The settings will be restored to the previous configuration.
Note:
Backup and Restore can only be used on the same unit running the same firmware. This feature is not
intended for the configuration of multiple units or for firmware upgrades.
