Octagon XP10000 Plus Newbie help please

[grahambenidorm]

Hi guys just taken delivery of my new Octagpn 1000XP Plus thanks to the May special deal.

Very nice box but I have to confess I am treating it with kid gloves.

Previously had clones, sorry about that.

I am trying to set up my new box so I can record to a USB however have got a bit bogged down after going into set up and recorder settings. Cannot seem to get further than that.

Can some one help me out with an "idiots guide"?

Thanks in advance.

USB stick or external HDD?
If you format it in the box, it will set it all up for you & those default settings will be fine.
Menu -> Setup -> System -> Storage devices -> Initialisation.

USB and forgive me but I cannot see Storage Devices under Set Up> System

Maybe I need to go to Specsavers

What image is currently on it?

[grahambenidorm]

Ok so it helps if I push the USB right in.

Right I have initialized it does that mean all recordings will automatically go to USB?

Thanks

How does it show up now under mount manager?
blue button -> ViX -> Mount Manager

[grahambenidorm]

It shows up all ok

Mount: /media/hdd

Device: /dev/sda1

I think it is working all ok

[judge]

yes, no need to change any of the default record path settings so.

All sorted

Thanks for your help much appreciated.
