DX8100 SETUP DIALOG BOX
Only a single user with Administrator or Power User access is allowed to access a DX8100’s Setup mode box at one time. When connected to a
network supporting multiple DVRs and/or clients, users with Administrator access override and block Power Users. If two users with the same
access level attempt to enter Setup mode simultaneously, the DX8100 will allow access to setup features on a first-come, first-served basis.
Unavailable setup options will be grayed-out.
ACCESSING THE SETUP MODE
The Setup Mode is accessed from the DX8100 toolbar by clicking the Setup icon. When clicked, the Setup icon opens the Setup dialog box in the
DX8100 view panel. The major configuration categories are displayed on individual tabbed pages. Each configuration page contains all of the
options and parameters for the respective function, that allow you to customize how the DX8100 operates for your particular application. Access
a setup page by clicking its icon that is displayed on the right side of the view panel.
The Setup dialog box allows Administrators and Power Users access to the DX8100’s setup functions. However, only Administrators can define
user names and passwords for new users.
To access the Setup Mode:
On the DX8100 toolbar, click Setup.
The Setup dialog box opens to the default Camera page.
UNDERSTANDING THE SETUP DIALOG BOX
The Setup dialog box opens in the DX8100 view panel to the default Camera page. Excluding the video visible through the Camera page Motion
Zone window, you do not see video from any of the other setup pages. You must exit the Setup dialog box to access the DX8100 functions in the
main window.
