Update
The Update section of the DVP menu enables the
system administrator to perform several key functions.
These include upgrading the system software to a new
version; and resetting the DVP configuration to factory
default network settings.
Software Update
MediaPOINTE’s Development Team is constantly striving
to refine and upgrade features on the DVP to lead
technological advances in the archiving and streaming
marketplace.
In order to keep the DVP up to date with all of the
latest features, you may want to update the system
software from time to time. Follow the following steps
to upgrade the DVP software.
• Contact your MediaPOINTE dealer for the latest
software version. This file will have an *.mpup
extension. The downloaded file must be placed on the
same network as the PC that will be used to browse the
web portal.
• Go to the Update section of the main menu and click
on the browse button to search for the downloaded
*.mpup file. Locate the file and specify the path to the
file as shown in the window.
• Select the Upgrade button to begin the upgrade.
Be sure to wait until the upgrade is complete before
proceeding.
• If your DVP doesn’t automatically reboot, manually do
this by selecting the Reboot button in the Info section.
This will reboot the unit and the new software will be
in place.
Reset Configuration
Selecting the Reset Configuration button will reset all
DVP passwords and network settings to factory default.
This will not delete any of your recorded files. This is
the same as using the reset button within the hole on
the front on the DVP.
System Info
The System Information section gives the user
important information about the DVP. The system can
be shutdown or rebooted from this page of the DVP.
See the table for more details.
