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 language currently in use
• 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
must then be re-installed. The default button also resets the language in the camera to
English and erases any manually uploaded language file.
Upgrade Server - See Upgrading the Firmware, on page 39.
Backup - To take a backup of all parameters and any user-defined scripts, click this
button. If it should later be necessary, it will then be possible to return the unit 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 configuration saved in the file.
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.
