Items in the Database Setup menu are described in the following table:
Adding a Hard Disk Drive to your System Database
You can add hard disk drives to the DigiMux video database to extend the storage
capabilities of the unit. For example, an Extended Storage Module (ESM) can be
connected to the IEEE-1394 FireWire
®
connector on the rear panel for storage space.
The Add HDD into Database menu item allows the unit to add the drive and begin
storing additional video information on the drive.
NOTE: Be sure to follow the instructions in Connecting Extended Storage Module (ESM)
Units on page 128, and be sure the ESM or external hard drive is powered up
before proceeding.
From the Database Setup menu, select Add HDD into Database and press Enter. The
following screen is displayed:
Press Up/Down to move the cursor through the list of hard disk drives until the
desired drive is highlighted. Press Right/Left to specify the drive. YES indicates the
desired drive, NO does not. You can specify multiple drives by selecting YES for each
desired drive. The default setting is NO.
If you connected multiple ESMs, then the screen has multiple pages. Select the next
page to add multiple ESMs.
