To choose temperature measurement units:
1
In viewLinc, go to Options | System Configuration |
Preferences
.
2 In the Name column, select Preferred Temperature Units
and in the Value column, choose either
Celsius (C) or
Fahrenheit (F).
Note: This procedure does not alter how the device
measures temperature - it alters the units in
which temperature is displayed (except for chan-
nels which already have preferred unit settings
assigned).
Setting Session Expiry Time
viewLinc allows you to set a session expiry time after which a
user or administrator must reconfirm their identity by
reentering their password. This prevents non-authorized
users from making changes to viewLinc.
You can choose to set this expiry time as “never”, “always”
(that is, requiring password confirmation before making any
change to the system), or intervals of 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60
minutes after logging in or reconfirming their password.
This setting is applied identically to all viewLinc users and
administrators.
To set the session expiry:
1
From viewLinc, choose Options | System Configuration |
Preferences
.
2 In the Name column, select Users must confirm their
identity
, then choose an expiry time in the Value column.
