Setting the Refresh Interval

The Current Resource Statistics window is updated according to the Refresh Interval configuration. By default, the Refresh Interval is set to refresh the data in the window every 5 seconds. To change the refresh interval, click the Refresh Interval button at the top of the window, and set the refresh interval to a number of seconds up to one minute. To set the time to 0 is to turn off the refresh interval.

Stopping the AltiGen Switching Service

Normally, when you exit AltiWare Administrator, the AltiGen services that provide the various telephony and data services remain active. If you need to shut down the phone system, do one of the following:

From AltiWare Administrator, select Services > Shut Down All Services.

From Windows, select Start > All Programs > AltiWare ACM > Utilities > Start and Stop All AltiGen Services, and click the Shutdown All AltiGen Services button.

This stops the AltiWare system services, including the AltiWare Administrator application itself. When you re-open AltiWare Administrator, the switching services are reactivated.

These options are available when you are logged in at the AltiWare system computer; they are not available from a remote AltiWare client.

Note: Stopping the AltiGen services from the Windows Services tool is not recommended, because it requires you to know what all the services are and is time-consuming.
