Director Software
To shut down the Guardall Director
software, click the X in the extreme
upper-right corner of the Guardall
Director screen (or open the F

Tip: If you changed any desktop settings, and would
like to retain them, be sure to click the check-box
provided.
Then, select "Yes" on the confirmation screen.
The RPC Server is Unavailable: This message appears
if the Director-Server application had been shut down
previously (before the Director software).
Logout or Lockout
To 'log' off, simply select Logout on the
toolbar (or open the F
ile menu, and select

ogout).
Tip: If you changed any desktop settings, and would
like to retain them, be sure to click the check-box
provided.
Then, select Yes to 'logout', or No to put the
software in 'Lockout' mode. (See the 'Logout /
Lockout' screen descriptions for details.)
To protect against unauthorized access to the Guardall
Director software, it is always a good idea to use the
logout (or lockout) feature before leaving your
workstation. (For a related topic, see "The Auto-
Lockout Feature", previous.)
Changing Operators
Changing operators is simply a matter of one
operator logging out, and the second operator
logging in. (For details, see previous / above.)
- [Yes]: Logs the present operator out, and shuts
down the Guardall Director software.
- [No]: Aborts the exit request.
If you have changed any desktop settings, a check-
box will be provided to let you save your settings.
- [Yes] (Logout): Logs the present operator out,
shutting down access to the Guardall Director
software.
(Until the next valid operator performs a 'login'.)
- [No] (Lock
out): This shuts down the desktop
except for the status toolbar (and login button).
(Tip: If the same operator logs back in, the
software will also remember what account they
were 'in'.)
The status toolbar requires that the software be
connected with the applicable panels. For details on
using the status toolbar, or on establishing panel
communications, refer to "Checking Status and
Controlling Items"
- [Cancel]: Aborts the logout request, leaving the
present operator logged in.
If you have changed any desktop settings, a check-
box will be provided to let you save your settings.
(For a related topic, see "The Auto-Lockout Feature",
previous.)
