type, IP address, subnet, and gateway information.

arises, say, for retrieving forensic evidences.

Power down 

button

Most of the NVR's major functionalities are managed through the LiveClient and Playback 

interfaces, refer to Chapter 4 for descirption of auxiliary functions. 

The operating system and VAST server are installed on an IDE flash mounted on the main 

board. There is no need to install software. 

Except for LiveClient and Playback, detailed description of the auxiliary functions can be found 

in 

Chapter Four 

started from page 199.

system should hang for some reasons, you can press the power button on the front panel for 4 

seconds to power off the system.

The onboard buzzer will sound if the following occurs: A 

hard drive

 is 

removed or if the 

LAN

 or 

WAN

 port is disconnected. Mute the alarm by 

closing the event prompt. 

The hard disk reported as "failed" via S.M.A.R.T. will also trigger the 

alarm sound and a warning message.
