When you replace a hardware device on your network with another hardware device, you must know the IP address, port, user name and password of the new hardware device.
If you have not enabled Automatic license activation (explained) and have used all device changes without activation, you must manually activate your licenses after replacing hardware devices. If the new number of hardware devices exceeds your total number of hardware device licenses, you have to purchase new hardware device licenses.
The wizard is prefilled with data from the existing hardware. If you replace it with a similar hardware device, you can reuse some of this data - for example, port and driver information.
This step is designed to help you map devices and their databases, depending on the number of individual cameras, microphones, inputs, outputs and so on attached to the old hardware device and the new respectively.
It is important to consider how to map databases from the old hardware device to databases of the new hardware device. You do the actual mapping of individual devices by selecting a corresponding camera, microphone, input, output or None in the right-side column.
Important: Make sure to map all cameras, microphones, inputs, outputs, etc. Contents mapped to None, are lost.
