Administering and Maintaining the DX8100
This section describes how to perform DX8100 system administration and periodic maintenance, including the following topics:
• Updating the DX8100 Server and Client Applications
• Recovering a Password on page 233
UPDATING THE DX8100 SERVER AND CLIENT APPLICATIONS
From time to time, software updates may be made available for both the DX8100 server and client applications. These updates will be free and
will be available on CD from Pelco. When an update is issued, it must be loaded onto a single DX8100 Series DVR server. Once installed on a
server, the updates will be automatically distributed to clients on the same network when the client applications are started. Remote DX8100
severs can be updated from a local DVR using the Software Upgrade utility.
To start the update process:
1. From the DX8100 menu bar, choose File > Software Upgrade.
