Restore Niagara factory defaults
Restore to Factory Defaults allows you to restore drive C to its original factory system defaults. This
action removes all data (including stored files) on the primary drive and reinstalls the original factory
image.
Note: Select this option only if you wish to return your system to its factory defaults. Selecting this
option erases all data currently stored on drive C and stops all currently running programs.
Remove any USB storage device before performing a Factory Restore.
This operation takes approximately 15 to 45 minutes to complete. Do not power off or interrupt the
system restore once it starts. All services automatically restart when the system restore completes. You
may then use the Niagara system’s web interface tool to reset the time, date, and video format.
Click the Restore GoStream Factory defaults link on the Configuration  System Configuration Settings
window (Figure 230) to start the process. The resulting window (Figure 235) allows you to return to the
Home Page, thereby cancelling this action, or continue with the restore action.
When you select Check this box to save the existing Encoder profiles during Factory Restore, the
settings for all your encoder profiles are retained and will display after the factory restore is complete.
Figure 235. Restore Factory Defaults
The window provides you details regarding the process you are about to execute and allows you the
opportunity to once again cancel the process by clicking Back to Home Page.
Note: Restore to Factory Defaults rebuilds the primary disk drive C with the original system image.
You lose all custom settings and any files saved to drive C. You cannot reverse this process.
However, you can manually re-enter your custom settings once the restore process is complete.
Use the default directory, D:\AV Files\ for saving your audio and video files. The system only re-
images drive C when you use the Restore to Factory Defaults option. It preserves all files and
folders on drive D. Always use the default directory – drive D – for storage of personal files to
ensure the system does not remove your personal files.
IMPORTANT! Remember that the system deletes all previously stored encoder profiles and groups
when you restore it to its factory defaults.
