Configuring the DVR
3–26 700-0042 R004
3.2.11. Updating the Software Program
The software update must be obtained from Seon Design. Attempting to load
other software will not work on the EX4 DVR.
Updating the software program on the DVR involves the following steps:
• Insert a USB memory device with new software into the USB port.
• Back up your currently used settings (Export Defaults).
• Run the program update (Program Update) and restart the DVR.
• Load the default settings (Load Defaults) and restart the DVR.
• Load the previously saved settings (Import Defaults).
• Format the hard drive (Format Hard-drive).
IMPORT DEFAULTS A set of defaults can be imported
from a USB storage device. The
settings on the USB are saved
from another EX4 DVR (see
Export Defaults). This is a useful
feature if several buses in a fleet
are to be programmed all the
same.

EXPORT DEFAULTS The defaults programmed into
the DVR can be saved to an
external USB memory device. If
there are several vehicles in the
fleet that are all programmed the
same, then the defaults can be set
up on one bus, exported using the
Export Defaults feature, and then
imported on the other DVRs
using the Import Defaults option.
(Note: The DVR password is not
exported with the defaults.)
CURRENT, MEM1, MEM2, MEM3 Not
applicable
PROGRAM UPDATE The software can be upgraded in the field as new features are added. The
Program update option makes the DVR read the new software from the
USB memory device and reprogram itself.

FORMAT HARD DRIVE Reformats the data hard-drive
and makes all the previous data
inaccessible (but not actually
erased).
