3.11 Activating your SD card within VuVault
The Media Card Administration function is used to erase, format, and activate a SD
Card to be ready for use with VuVault
®
and the DVM-800. During activation, the file
“deviceconfig” will be written to the SD card. This file contains all VuVault user ID’s,
vehicle ID’s, and event ID’s. This file also contains all DVM configuration data.
An approved SD card reader must be connected to the computer.
1. Select
Media Card Admin
from the Admin navigation bar.
2. Select the
Device Type
from the available options. It is
very important to select the correct device type.
3. Click the
button to detect the SD card from the available
removable drives.
4. Select the drive letter assigned to the SD card.
5.
Note the Card Volume Name field.
6. If there is a current volume name, it will show up automatically. If
not, it will default to DA_DEVICE. This can be changed according to
customer preference to whatever is deemed most appropriate.
7. Choose from one of four options to activate the card:
◦
Activate Device (Leave Data Intact)
– Activates the card for
use with a Digital Ally
®
device. No existing data on the SD Card is
erased.
◦
Clear Data and Activate Device
– Erases all existing data on the
SD Card and activates it for use with a Digital Ally device.
◦
Format Media and Activate Device
– Erases all existing data on
the SD Card, formats the card (quick format), and activates it for
use with a Digital Ally device.
◦
Secure Format Media and Activate Device (Slower)
– This
option overwrites all data with zeroes for a secure erase, formats
the card, and activates it for use with a Digital Ally device.
8. Click the
button. The Status pane will indicate when the
process has completed.
The SD card can then be placed inside the DVM-800. The DVM will load the
configuration files automatically into internal memory (process may take a few
minutes). During this process the red, blue, and green LED’s will flash sequentially and
the system may reboot. For more information consult the
“VuVault Administrator Guide”
Media Card Administration
section.
