Starting
Check readiness for operation of the entire communication environment, cameras, microphones and other system components before starting the system.
Note
If the path to the psim.sec key file was not specified during the installation, it is necessary to put psim.sec into the Axxon PSIM software root directory. In the absence of the key file starting will be in the Axxon PSIM Axxon PSIM Demo mode.
The Axxon PSIM system can be started either:
- Automatically. The software starts automatically after the operating system loads.
- Manually. Axxon PSIM can be started through the Start menu: Start → All Programs → Axxon PSIM. To start Server configuration click the Axxon PSIM menu item, while for Client configuration go to Client Workstation.
The start-up window will be displayed.
Note.
If there is no license key and Axxon PSIM is started in the Axxon PSIM Axxon PSIM Demo mode, then there is the “Axxon PSIM Axxon PSIM Demo mode” message in the startup dialog box.
If user rights restrictions were implemented during software configuration, then a password will be required from the user during start-up of the software. Enter the password and click the Registration button.
Note.
The number of login attempts is limited. If an incorrect password is entered three times, the next login attempt can be made in 60 seconds.
If Windows authentication is used for authorization, login and password input is not neccessary. To start the Axxon PSIM software just click the Registration button. Login and Password fields are to be empty in this case.
Note
The Axxon PSIM software package provides with three types of user rights: administration, controlling and monitoring
Confirmation by supervisor
Confirmation by supervisor is required while the user log-in to the system if the authorization by four-eyes rule is configured in the system. After clicking the Registration button it will be proposed to enter the supervisor login and password. After entering the supervisor password click the Registration button again.
Password change at logging in
The password change can be required if there is the corresponding setting in the Axxon PSIM software. It may occur at the first user login to the system or after the current password time-out. In this case after clicking the Registration button you will be proposed to enter and confirm a new password.
The password can be changed by user request if there is the corresponding setting in the Axxon PSIM software. In this case click the Change password button and then enter and confirm the new password.
Note.
If the user is forbidden to change the password by request, the corresponding message will be displayed
Attention!
The new password is not to be the same as the previous one.
To start the Axxon PSIM software after entering the new password click the Registration button.
Two-factor authentication
The two-factor authentication function can be configured in Axxon PSIM requiring login confirmation by SMS code – see Configuring two-factor authentication. In this case, after entering the login and password and clicking on the Register button, a short message with the code will be sent to the user's phone number. Enter this code in the SMS code box that opens, and then click the OK button.
If the message with the code does is not delivered, you can click the Resend button to send the code again but not less than in 10 seconds after the previous resend.
Shutting down
Shut down the Axxon PSIM software as follows:
- Point the mouse to the upper right corner of the screen and the Axxon PSIM Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) will appear.
- Click the
button in the QAT. - Select the Shutdown menu item.
Note.
The Log off menu item is also available in the menu that appears when left-clicking the 
symbol in the Windows system tray, or by holding the F8 hotkey.
Software shutdown will begin, and a password will be required if one is set. Enter the password and click the Shutdown button.
Note.
When shutting down Axxon PSIM in Client configuration in a way that somehow differs from one listed above, particularly when restarting the computer without shutting down Axxon PSIM, the interface parameters may remain unsaved. For example, the data about saved layouts on the Video monitor can be lost.
Note
The software can be configured to forbid logging off/shutdown. Then the Shutdown item is not listed in the menu.
