Setting Up the DX8100
Only a single user with Administrator or Power User access is allowed to access a DX8100’s Setup mode at one time. When connected to a
network supporting multiple HVRs and 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.
