Description

•When creating a new client record, click Browse to display a Select Client window, listing all computers found on your network by PC name. (Secure Perfect uses PC names only.) To add a client, select the computer name from the list and click OK. You can add as many clients as you want but you are limited to the number of licensed clients connected to the network at one time. The number of client licenses presently active and connected to the Secure Perfect system can be found on the Client Monitor form.

•By default, when an existing client record displays, PC Name is read-only and not available for edit

•Client computers to which devices are associated, cannot be deleted. The devices must be removed or assigned to another client before this client can be deleted.

•Client computers assigned as backup clients cannot be deleted. You must first un-assign this client from the Backup Clients list on the Backup Clients tab, and then delete.

When adding a Secure Perfect client to your system, accept the default OS Type as Windows. When conducting a search, select either Windows or CCTV from the drop-down list.

This field is available only when you first open the Client form, and BEFORE you initiate a Search. To locate a particular Server or client, you are able to select a Server name from the Region drop-down list. The field default displays the Database Server computer name. The clients associated with the selected Region display in the right windowpane. (If you click Search immediately after you open the Client form, this field displays the default Server name and is unavailable for selection.)

•Disabled: Select if you want to disable Imaging in order to enable another client computer.

•Enabled: Select to enable Imaging here but you are limited to the number of licensed Imaging stations enabled at one time. The number of Imaging licenses presently active can be found on the Client Monitor form.

A Secure Perfect client computer can also be a thin client. A thin client has Terminal Services and/or Citrix Server software installed. If the Secure Perfect client has Thin Client Status of Enabled, other computers can connect to the Terminal or Citrix Server on the Secure Perfect client and run Secure Perfect.

•Disabled: Select if you want to disable the thin client option.

•Enabled: Select to enable the thin client option at this Secure Perfect client. The number of thin clients you can enable is controlled by the number of thin client licenses you have. Refer to the Client Monitor form, which displays the number of thin client licenses presently available and in use.

Select the number of minutes the system will wait since the last action was taken before logging off the current operator. To turn off the auto logoff feature and remain permanently logged in, enter 0 (zero). The default setting is 20 minutes.

You must restart the Secure Perfect client program for changes to the Auto Logoff selection to take effect.

Enable this field if you want an alarm dialog box to display whenever an alarm occurs, based on facilities available to the current operator.
