LED Status
The LED indicators are used to describe system states, actions and error conditions. When the system is
idle and ready to record, the BLUE LED will be on and the YELLOW LED will be off. When the system is in
RECORD, the BLUE LED will blink slowly. After each session is archived, the archive file must be fully
indexed to the hard drive. The BLUE LED will fast blink during the indexing procedure indicating that the
unit is busy and cannot record or stream until this process is complete. Depending on the length of the
archived material, this could be from several seconds up to several minutes to complete the indexing
process. See the table below for an explanation of the various LED states.

RESET Button
The RESET button is hidden behind a tiny hole in the front panel and requires activation using a small
device such as a pin or paperclip. This is done to avoid inadvertent resetting of the system. Pressing the
RESET button will reset all the settings on the
DMR160
back to the
factory
settings
. This includes all IP
settings and all passwords. For a complete list of the factory settings, see
Appendix B
.
Power Switch
This switch powers the unit on and off. It is used in conjunction the with main power switch on the rear of
the unit. It is intentionally made small as the
DMR160
is expected to remain ON most of the time.
USB Port
The USB port in the front of the unit can be used for upload or offload of video content and for network
configuration of the
DMR160
.
