System from the MyTools bar, or
select System under Control &
Status in the 'tree'.
Using the Tree: Click your site/account

the "+" beside each topic).
Login with your user ID and PIN if
prompted for this.

specific panel group and panel if these are
listed in the 'tree'. Tip
: The 'tree' can be set
to show Control & Status topics in a single
list (logical tree view), or on a panel-by-panel
basis. For details, refer to "Other Desktop
Choices".
If the status screen is blank or inactive (or if you'd like
more information), refer to "Accessing the Control and
Status Topics for a Panel" (under "Checking Status &
Controlling Items", previous).
When the screen appears, use the Grid /
Form toolbar-button to select your preferred
view-mode
(forms view is recommended here).

bottom of the form (if not shown/selected in the 'tree').
Checking or Changing the Date / Time
To 'read' the date and time from the panel,
click [Get Panel Time]. Then, check the
'difference' value to see if the panel date and
time need to be changed.
If you need to set the date and time at the
panel to match the Guardall Director computer,
click [Set Panel Time with Server Time].
-Panel (bottom of the form): This is where you
select a desired panel (for systems with more
than one).
Alternative: You can also set the 'tree' to list status
topics on a panel-by-panel basis. For details, refer to
"Other Desktop Choices".
- Panel Time Zone: This shows the 'time zone'
for the specific panel. If different from the
PC/server time zone, any clock updates will be
adjusted accordingly.
This will be different from the PC/server time zone
only
for remote panels managed via modem or wide
area network. The panel time zone is set through the
panel-group screen. For details, refer to "Panel
Groups and Connection Settings".
- [Get Panel Time]: Reads the date and time
setting at the panel.
- [Set Panel Time with Server Time]: Changes
the time at the panel to match the computer.
Note: In multi-PC (client-server) systems, the panel
time is synchronized with that of the Guardall Director
server
PC. Director-Server PC: This is the PC that
includes "...Director-Server.exe", and typically
contains the database as well.
- Panel Date / Time: The present date & time
setting at the panel.
- PC Server Date / Time: The present date &
time setting at the Guardall Director computer
(server
if applicable).
- Difference (Approximate): The approximate
time-difference between the panel and the
computer.
If necessary, you can set the date and time for the
computer through the windows 'Control Panel' (select
Start, Settings, Control Panel, and Date/Time).
When finished, be sure to synchronize the panel clock
(i.e., "Set Panel Time...").
