Reading the DVR Electronic Label

The Electronic Label of the DVR contains information regarding the firmware currently
loaded in the DVR, the hardware model and serial number.
To read the DVR Electronic Label, select DVR Info from the Repeater Setup Menu:
The electronic label can be read either on-line or by loading a previously saved .epr or
.dpd file.
NOTE:
An .epr file contains the personality and calibration data of a specific DVR unit. A .dpd file
contains the personality settings of a DVR unit. Used for 'cloning'.
The .dpd file does not carry the DVR/VRX1000 ID.
