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 factory default val-
ues. The settings that are not affected are:
• the boot protocol (DHCP or static)
• the static IP address
• the default router
• the subnet mask
• the system time
• De fault - The default button should be used with caution. Pressing this will return all of
the video server's settings to the factory default values (including the IP address)
• Upgrade Server - See Upgrading the firmware, on page 64.
• Backup - To take a backup of all of the parameters, and any user-defined scripts, click
this button. If necessary, it is then possible to return to a previous configuration if set-
tings 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 multi-configurations or for firmware upgrades.
