tab within the VuVault® back oce software. You will then save the le using the Media
Card Admin Tab within VuVault (Refer to Section 3.11 for details).
Once the conguration le has been created within VuVault, use one of the following
methods to update the DVM:
2.1 Manually Updating the DVM Conguration
1. Copy the “devicecong” le to the SD card.
2. Install the SD card into the external card slot of the DVM.
3. The DVM will reboot and load the settings from the new conguration
le. The old conguration settings will be overwritten and discarded.
Once the update process has started:
◦Do not remove power
◦ Do not turn the ignition o
◦Do not remove the external SD card
2.2 Wireless Conguration Updates
