Main Controls

The Main Control buttons comprise the system configuration and several commonly used

features for which quick action is often needed. Many of these functions depend on

proper setup as documented in the Configuration chapter.

The first two buttons are in the upper right corner...

Click the Login/Logout button to lock the Server main screen, preventing further user

interaction until the user logs in again. The Login/Logout button changes to Login,

indicating that the system is locked. Click the Login/Logout button again and you will be

required to enter a User and Password to unlock the system.

This function also serves to „logout‟ of the Server and „login‟ as a different user with

different authenticated rights. See Setup | User Management for further details.

Note: when you first launch the system, the screen is locked and you need to select the

Exit

Click this button to exit the Server. You will be prompted to confirm the action. You

must enter a User and Password with rights to exit the Server, as this is a secured

function.

The rest of the main controls are in the button bar. Descriptions below are given from

left to right on the button bar.

Playback

Use this button to go to the Playback screen. If you have Dual Monitors, Playback will

automatically open on the second monitor.

Audio

This button turns the audio channel on or off for the selected channel – the default is off.

The button changes color when Audio is on.

Screens

This button pops up a menu of display screen layout choices, based on the number of

channels you would like to see at the same time. The channel screens will be laid out

starting with the orange highlighted, currently selected camera on the Display Screen

area.
