24.1 Introduction
The Watchdog feature helps protect against
the NetVision software 'hanging', or becoming
unresponsive while unattended. If a problem
is detected, the Video Server PC will be
restarted.
With the
hardware
watchdog option, the Video
Server will be restarted in the event of MS
Windows 'hanging' or 'crashing' as well.
24.2
Using the Watchdog
Feature
If an error is detected, a small screen will
appear approximately 11 seconds before the
Video Server is restarted. This screen allows
you to shut off the watchdog, or set it to wait
one more timer cycle (60-250 seconds).
You can also temporarily shut the watchdog
feature off at any time: Right-click the
"watchdog" icon near the right-hand end of the
Windows task-bar, and select
Exit
from the
pop-up menu.
Note: To re-enable the Watchdog feature (after
shutting it off), shut down and restart the NetVision
software.
