Maximum number of users

If the maximum number of users for the Control Center is exceeded, a window is 
displayed. An administrator can use this window to force off a user. The list 
shows all users that are currently logged in. 

 

To disconnect a user:

1. Select a user in the list.

2. Click

Menu structure differences

The Configuration Tool allows you to access and use menu items of the unit. 
These menu items are explained in Chapter 5. Although the items are the same, 
the menu structure is slightly different in the Configuration Tool:

• The History menu item is removed from the menu tree structure and is now 

accessed via the Event log button.

• The Disk manager submenu is replaced by the Storage setup item of the 

menu tree structure in the Configuration Tool.

As a result of the windows interface, selection and editing of some functions with 
the Configuration Tool is different to the methods used on the unit itself. For 
example, scroll bars are used instead of the arrow keys, the motion area selection 
interface is simpler, and the Calendar edit item of the Profiles menu uses a color 
code to add profiles to the calendar. The Configuration Tool interface, although 
different, is intuitive and does not change the functionality of the menu items.
