Milestone Basis+ 6.5 - Manual (Page 7)

● In the most recent software version, a Download
Manager is introduced, and you will have the option of
opening the Download Manager during installation. The
Download Manager is used for managing which
XProtect Basis+-related features your organization’s
users will be able to access from a targeted welcome
page on the surveillance system server. You can open
the Download Manager if you like, but you can just as
easily make changes through the Download Manager
once installation is completed
Restoring a Configuration Backup (if Required)
If for some reason after installing the new software version you
have lost your old configuration, you can easily restore your
configuration, provided you have created a backup of your
configuration prior to upgrading the software:
1. Drag and drop the backed-up configuration files and
folders into the new installation directory, which by
default is still C:\Program Files\Milestone\Milestone
Surveillance\.
2. When asked if you wish to overwrite the existing files,
click Yes.
3. Restart your server.
Updating Video Device Drivers
Video device drivers are small programs used for controlling/
communicating with the camera devices connected to an
XProtect Basis+ system.
Video device drivers are installed automatically during the
initial installation of your XProtect Basis+ system. However,
new versions of the XProtect video device drivers, so-called
Device Packs, are released and made available for free on the
Milestone website from time to time. We therefore recommend
that you visit www.milestonesys.com (look under Support >
Downloads) and download the latest Device Pack.
