Director software. You will be prompted accordingly
if this applies to you.
User-Logins (Needed for:
Database Query, and SQL Server
Support)
User 'Logins'
The "Database Query" feature, and SQL-
server support require you to provide
some login information that will be used to
access the Guardall Director database.
Tip: With a system managed under SQL server,
this information must match these values for the
Director database entered at the SQL Server PC.
Also, if you wish to change these settings later
on, you must ensure that no one is presently
accessing the Director database (see the steps
under "Table Repair Utility").
Overview
If you select SQL-server support during
installation, you will be prompted for the
"user login" information directly.
Otherwise (or to change the settings later),
you need to access the required form
manually:
Guardall Director-Repair.exe (User
Logins ).
The Table Repair Utility
In a client-server Guardall Director system, the
database/table repair utility is available only
through the server PC.
(This is the PC that includes "...Director-Server.exe".
Before using the table repair utility, first:
1) Client-server systems: Ensure that no copies of the
Guardall Director (or communications) software are
logged into the database (T
ools menu, "Who is
logged In").
2) Shut down Your Guardall Director (and
communications) software (details follow).
Note
: The communications software pertains to PCs
that connect with system panels--via cable, modem, or
IP-LAN/WAN (V3.3).
Shutting Down the Guardall Director

PC (that uses this main database):

on the right-hand side;
 If present, right-click this symbol, and select
Exit from the pop-up menu.
 Select Yes when asked to confirm.
