Import Existing Project

When importing an MxCC file, the following is taken into account:

• The layouts defined in MxCC are created as groups in MxMC.
• The background layouts from MxCC, including the background graphics and definitions of the camera symbols, are transferred to the Graphic view of the associated group.
• If a global password has been assigned, this will be entered for all cameras that do not have a user name.
• For each hyperlink used, a softbutton is created in MxMC.
• Furthermore, the tree structure from MxCC is shown in the Device bar and file servers configured in MxCC are created in the MxMC settings.

Using a manually created list in .MXU format, you can quickly add a large number of cameras and camera groups. You need to adhere to various formatting rules when creating the list in order to correctly export the contents of the MXU file (see Creating MXU Files for Imports).

1. Click on Import MXU to import cameras and camera groups in the Welcome wizard. You can save the existing project, if necessary.
2. Open the MXU file.
3. Decide whether the cameras and groups from the MXU file should replace the entire configuration or they should be only added.
