Before performing a Factory Reset you must save the Cortex 360 unit’s configuration. To save the configuration:
Connect to the Cortex 360 unit with a browser (Chrome recommended).
Go to System > Administration.
Select Configuration Transfer > Davicom to PC.
Save the file to your PC.
Please record the unit IP Parameters, usernames, and passwords, because these parameters are never uploaded with the configuration file, just downloaded. You will need to re-enter them after a Factory Reset.
CAUTION: Please remove all signal and accessory cable connections before doing the Factory Reset.
