Start Up
Note: Before starting Topaz, make sure Internet Explorer 6.0 or later was installed from the Topaz CD and the wizard
was run to complete the installation of IE, or Topaz will not operate properly.
The Auto configuration function may also be used to assist you in setting up the system.
Whenever possible, power-up the system's peripheral devices (field panels, readers, etc.) before
activating the server computer. In this way, any errors or diagnostic messages display at the
system's monitor or printer.
Note: If you use a workstation, the server should be running on the network before starting up the workstation.
Help
A major feature of Topaz is its Help section. Help is designed to assist you in real time on any part of
Topaz operations. This enhancement reduces your need to refer to written documentation and
reduces training time for new users.
Two Help buttons are located in the top left corner of each of the browser pages.
• Help Index - This button opens a content sub-window that enables you to locate topics from
the whole Help system by using the Table of Contents, Index, or Search functions.
• Page Help - This button opens a content sub-window that enables you to easily locate topics
covered on the currently selected browser window only. However, while using the Page Help
you may also click the Word
SHOW button in the top left corner of the help page. This opens
the Global Help as a sub-window on the left side of the help page allowing you to access all
Help topics.
