4: DSC Installation
Bootstrapping is the process of loading configuration settings and firmware upgrades to
the DSC. You insert a preloaded flash drive into the USB port and the DSC does the
rest. Bootstrapping is used for initial configuration, resetting factory settings, and
firmware upgrades.
Installing the DSC
You may use normal North American household current as the primary power supply.
You may use power over Ethernet (PoE), as primary or backup power supply.
