Setting Up the DX8000
Only a single user with Administrator or Power User access is allowed to access a DX8000’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 DX8000 will allow access to setup features on a first-come, first-served basis.
Unavailable setup options will be grayed-out.
