Note • • • • • • The configuration file saves the camera's network settings. When the settings are loaded, the settings are restored as they were saved, therefore the camera's IP address may change.

The configuration file saves the camera's user names and passwords. When the settings are loaded, the settings are restored as they were saved, therefore the administrator user name and password may change. If you cannot remember the administrator user name or password, you will need to reset the camera and set the user name and password again. You can also use the Setup Program to restore a configuration file (see Page 143). Network settings and the administrator user name and password are not changed when you restore a configuration file using the Setup Program. Buffered images will be deleted when you load the saved configuration file and restart the camera. Alarm logs will be deleted when you load the saved configuration file and restart the camera.

Restoring Settings from a Configuration File

file.

Click the [Maintenance] tab.
2.
On the left side of the screen under [Maintenance], click [Load Settings].

Click [Browse...]. A dialog prompts you to specify the location of the saved configuration file.

•
The configuration file saves the camera’s network settings. When the settings are loaded, the settings
are restored as they were saved, therefore the camera’s IP address may change. If you cannot access
the camera after loading the configuration file, use the Setup Program to confirm the camera’s IP
address (see Page 143).
•
The configuration file saves the camera’s user names and passwords. When the settings are loaded,
the settings are restored as they were saved, therefore the administrator user name and password
may change. If you cannot remember the administrator user name or password, you will need to reset
the camera and set the user name and password again.
•
You can also use the Setup Program to restore a configuration file (see Page 143). Network settings
and the administrator user name and password are not changed when you restore a configuration file
using the Setup Program.
