You can backup your Video Server settings to
protect against data loss (or operator error).
Diskette Needed: This requires a 3.5" diskette (to
be placed in the "A:\" drive of the Video Server).
Attention: This should be done on a regular basis
to help protect against loss of data. This should
also be done before re-installing the NetVision
software.
The settings that will be saved include:
• Camera titles, and which cameras are enabled;
• Recording selections, plus alarm/motion triggered
recordings;
• The present/active alarm-recording schedule.
Locator: At the Video Server PC (will
prompt for "Supervisor" login),
Select: (Windows task bar) Start, Settings,
Control Panel, DSR Configuration.
Desktop Link: There should also be a link to this on
your desktop called "NetVision Configuration".
Tips: If you cannot access the Windows task bar,
press Ctrl-Esc (or your 'Windows' key). To view the
names for items on the task bar, click a blank area on
the bar, and then 'hover' your mouse pointer over each
item.
Logon as a "Supervisor" when prompted.
Then, double-click Utility in the list. When the
screen appears, make your desired
selection(s).
--------------------------------------------------
[Backup]: Select this to copy your
configuration settings to a floppy diskette.
Steps: Place a blank 3.5" diskette in the A:\ drive
first, then click [Backup].
When finished, place the diskette(s) in a safe,
dry location.
Attention: Due to the imperfect nature of magnetic
media, it is a good idea to make copy(ies) of the
diskette, to protect against one diskette failing.
[Restore]: Select this to copy configuration
settings from a previous backup-diskette.
Steps: Place the backup diskette in the A:\ drive
first, then click [Restore].
--------------------------------------------------
When finished, click [Cancel] to close the
backup/restore menu, and then click [X] to
close the list (upper-right corner).
Attention: To recognize any DSR Configuration
changes made while the Video Server software is
running, you may need to restart the software.
