Checking System Health
The Server Administrator software is pre-installed on the recorder. The software provides information about the
recorder’s system operation status, and gives you remote access to the recorder for recovery operations.
If one of the LED indicators on the recorder is flashing an error warning, the Server Administrator will display
details about the problem. For more information about the LED indicators, see
LED Indicators
on page 22.
