Defining General Parameters

The General tab allows you to specify the system behaviour when the operator is inactive, that is when there is no action on the keyboard (idle time).

  1. Select the Send to tray on idle if you want the applications to be minimized when there is no action on the keyboard. If you do this, you have to specify the period after which the application will be minimized if there is no action on the keyboard. In the Send to tray on idle, enter the delay after which the applications will be minimized and sent to the task bar.
  2. Select the Automatic Logout on idle option if you want the application to log out when there is no action on the keyboard. If you do this, you have to specify the period after which the application will be minimized. In the Automatic logout on idle, enter the delay after which the operator will be automatically logged out, (the option has to be checked).
  3. If the Video feature is enabled, the Video view field appears. If this is the case, select the Video view in which you want the defined component to appear. For information about defining video views, see Video Views Definition.
  4. From the Graphic list, you may select the graphic to which the application is assigned, if applicable. For information about defining graphics, see Graphics Definition.
  5. For the Mirror Database application, select the Automatic Backup check box if you want the application to automatically do a backup of the database. When you click the Configure Automatic backup button you can define options for the backups in the Backup Scheduler.
    Note: You must configure the Backup Scheduler for the Mirror Database and Redundant server independently from the Backup Scheduler for the primary server.
    1. You also have the option to start a backup immediately from the Mirror Database and Redundant Server application when you click the Backup ALL NOW button. By doing so, the Mirror Database performs a backup of all four databases: Data, Archives, In/Out and Video following the parameters set in the Backup Scheduler. An option to execute an immediate backup of a specific database type is also available from the Status window:
    2. In the Status window, select the Application button.
    3. From the root tree menu, right-click the Mirror Database.
    4. Click backup now and then click the database type you want from the sub menu.
      Note: To execute automatic backups, the Mirror Database application must be online and in Updating Mode with the primary server.
