Especially for the Video Server, it is important
to ensure that the date and time are always
correct--since this information is used to
manage video recordings. There is normally
no reason for this to vary, but it's still best to
check it on a regular basis.
Tips: The time is displayed on the right-hand end
of the Windows task bar. To view the date, 'hover'
the mouse pointer over the time. For details on
setting the date or time, open the Windows on-line
help (e.g., from the Windows Control Panel), and
search for "Date".

changes made while the Video Server software is
