Config Lost on DS-7732NI-K4/32

[CPZ]

Lost all the config on a DS-7732NU-K4/32 NVR

16 of the cameras were analogue served from a DS-6716HQHI-SATA Encoder

Can I find a way to add back the Encoder cameras on the NVR?

Can I ****

Help greatly appreciated.

OK perhaps a direct question.

The Encoder cameras used to appear as analogue and not ip in the camera settings, now they don't appear, any suggestions?

Was expecting the Encoder to be able to share config for all 16 cameras without having to set each one up manually.

Thanks

Weird quirk of interface, first 16 IP cameras pre entered with dummy config, all requiring a channel.

Add camera 17, doesn't require channel, give it encoder address and password, pop up shows all 16 channels from encoder, select all, add.
