STACK Digital Video Recorder

Connect DC power to the system via the connector on the System
Harness.
The Configuration Utility will now recognise the DVR and show
that it has established a connection.
The DVR status LED will now flash 50:50 red / green to indicate
that it is under control of the PC software.
The Configuration Utility is only able to establish connection with
the DVR when it is powered-up and not in stand-by mode. It may
be necessary to “wake up” the DVR by briefly toggling the Record
Switch or by switching the DC power off and then back on to
establish a connection.
Re-Scan
Click this button to cause your PC to search for COM ports. This
is particularly useful if you have a USB to RS232 adapter which
isn’t connected permanently to the PC.
This should only be used when the DVR is not connected since it
will disrupt communications.
Lock Config
Click this button to allow you to restrict access to the
Configuration Utility.
Check the boxes to allow access to individual parts of the
Configuration Utility. For example, checking “Allow Program
Setup…” will prevent access to all parts of the utility except the
Program Setup tab.
