Log Manager 
 
Four types of system logs are stored on the  Main CPU.  They are the Switching, Operator, 
Alarm, and Video Loss logs.  In the case of  a redundant CPU, it may be necessary to 
view logs from each CPU, since these logs are not
 synchronized.  The logs must be 
downloaded from each CPU in order to view their content.   
 
The logs, which are stored on each CPU separate ly, may be using the same filenames.  It 
may be necessary to rename the files to  reflect the...

The right side of the window will display all logs that pertain to the selected type that 
exist on the selected CPU.  
  
Remember, for a redundant CPU system, since these logs are not
 
synchronized, it may be necessary to view and retrieve logs from each of the 
two CPUs. 
 
5. Highlight the desired log file from the list and click the “GET from CPU” 
button 
 
This acts in the same manner as the database manager, as it will copy the log from the

Areas 
 
An area is a grouping of monitors defined by an administrator when monitors are added 
to the system. See Monitors – Definition on page 90. 
 
Selecting the Area View command from the Tools menu brings up the area viewer. This 
viewer is available to all users.  
 
 
 
No modifications to components, tour sequences, group presets, or group sequences can 
be made from the Areas window.

135  2. Highlight the desired area 
 
This is an informational window only.  An administrator or operator may view all 
components associated within a single area. 
 
Since at least one monitor must be assigned in each defined area, if any areas 
exist without at least one monitor assigned, an error message will appear.  
Defining at least one monitor in that area will eliminate this error.  See 
Monitors – Definition on page 90.

not to be confused with system operators (system controller operators). 
   
Initially only the default user account (admin) will be configured with no restrictions.  
This account cannot be deleted (for safety purposes) nor can the level be changed, but it 
is recommended that the user name be...
