System Settings

1. Processor Status
This area indicates the model number, serial
number, firmware revision and HDMI card
version. You can also download logs which can
be sent to us for diagnostic purposes.
2. Licenses
Optional software and hardware features are
available. This area indicates which of these are
currently installed.
3. System Backup & Restore
• Export Parameters: Generates a spreadsheet
indicating the mapping of the output channels.
• Backup Configuration: Generates a backup file of
the entire current configuration of the SP4 making
restoring settings easy after replacing a unit or
recovering from a system reset event. As a dealer,
you are advised to perform this step after completing
setup and archive the settings on behalf of your
customer.
• Restore Configuration: Permits uploading of the
file generated by the step above. This overwrites all
current settings with the data contained within the
backup file.
• Factory Reset: Resets the SP4 to default configuration
but retains current firmware version.
• Load License: Allows loading optional software
licenses such as SphereAudio and StormMonitoring.
• Remote Upgrade: Use this tool to update the
10
firmware of the SP4. New firmware is made available
from time to time and can be found at http://support.
bryston.com/downloads/SP4. Firmware upgrades are
never required and should be considered optional
unless advised otherwise by Bryston support staff.

populated by the network DHCP server. DHCP
Auto button is blue. To use a static IP address,
click DHCP Auto to disable (turns grey) and
populate IP Address, Gateway, Netmask, and
DNS fields manually. If an SP4 has been set to
static IP mode and will no longer connect to the
network, see "Get Network Access" on page 7
for instructions on resetting the network settings
to default DHCP mode.
5. Password Management
The SP4 has 3 levels of access. Remote Control
requires no password and no access to settings.
Installer has access to all settings. Expert is an
intermediate level that has access to settings
assigned by Installer. Those settings are defined
in the Access Management area at the bottom of
this page. The default passwords are:
Installer: installer
Expert User: expert
If you are a dealer or custom installer, you
are advised to change these passwords and
document them. Similarly, if you are a client and
