Interlogix VEREX Director - Manual (Page 13)

21-0381E v4.9.1 Welcome Report Control Admin Sys Config Tech-Ref 5
- Password: The operator's assigned
password.
Default Operator Name & Password:
Operator, 1234
The default login name and password take effect
only until changed by a system administrator.
To protect against unauthorized access to the
software, the default password should be
changed right away.
If your login name and password are no longer
supported after upgrading from an earlier
software revision, refer to "Upgrading from an
Earlier Version of Software", paying special
attention to converting your previous database.
- Server Location: In a multi-PC (client-
server) installation, this allows you to
identify the VEREX Director server. Select
(or type in) the server "PC name" (or its
network "IP address").
Director-Server PC: This is the PC that includes
"...Director-Server.exe", and typically contains
the database as well.
Tip: This can be an IP address, or a name
(FQDN). Contact your IT rep. for assistance if
needed. For remote access (different PC) with
certificate authentication, this value must be as
supported by the certificate.
More: Server Validation Certificates
Multi-Server Login: You can select up to 6
servers for simultaneous login. This allows
listing and selecting accounts from any of the
server PCs without having to log out in between.
(All servers you are logged into appear under
[Server] in the 'tree'.) Related: "Working with
Accounts and Folders"
Tip: Use semicolons (;) to separate multiple server
names, or click [...].
- [...]: Opens a small screen to allow selecting multiple
servers. (The login will apply to all server PCs
shown in this screen.) For each server, type or
select the PC name (or IP address) at the bottom of
the screen, and click [Add]. You can also [Delete]
a selected server, or [Replace] it after typing a new
name.
Attention: Your operator login name and password
must be valid for all of the desired servers. (You will
be logged into the servers for which your login name
and password are valid.)
To login at the server PC itself, use the PC name
(not the IP address).
-------------------------
- [Login]: If the entered name and password are
valid, the operator will be provided access to the
items and features as assigned in their operator
permissions.
Server Connection Status: A small screen will show
you the connection progress while a connection is
made with your selected server(s).
- [Lockout]: This shuts down the software except
for the status toolbar. (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
the status toolbar, or on establishing panel
communications, refer to "Checking Status and
Controlling Items".
- [Cancel]: Aborts the login request.
- [PROXY]: Provides settings used to connect
out to the Director-server via the internet
through a proxy server.
Settings: "Proxy Type" (select "None" if not using this
feature), "Domain", and a "User Name" and
"Password" that has suitable permissions on that
domain. (For these and other proxy settings, get an
'IT' person to help you.)
