OTHER MODES OF OPERATION EVALUATION MODE
131
The Evaluation mode allows the DV-1 system to be used for a
specified period of time before it is locked and becomes unusable.
Evaluation units are intended to be used by potential customers so
they can evaluate the DV-1 units before making a buying decision.
For example, the Evaluation unit has its evaluation time period set to
30 days. Each day the system is used, the evaluation time period
decreases by one day. When the number of remaining days reaches
0 , the Evaluation DV-1 unit no longer functions.
If needed, the user can call WatchGuard Video Customer Service to
either
Extend the evaluation time period or Unlock the unit.
NOTICE
The unit begins informing the Evaluation user of the number of
days remaining in the evaluation time period when there are 5 days
left.
Once the evaluation time period has reached 5 days, each time the
system begins booting, the screen shows how many days remain in
the evaluation time period.
When the boot process begins, the Booting progress bar is
displayed, and the EVALUATION UNIT challenge screen is
presented. The challenge screen has four options:

Press the
Dismiss
key to proceed with the boot process and
dismiss the challenge screen immediately.

Press the
Extend
key to add more time to the evaluation time
period. See Extend Evaluation Mode Time on page 132 for more
information.

Press the
Unlock
key to convert the DV-1 unit from an
Evaluation unit to a fully functional unit. See Unlock Evaluation
Mode on page 134 for more information.

Do nothing. After a 15 second countdown, the
Dismiss
key is
automatically pressed and the boot process continues.
