Start

Before you start working with the software, we recommend checking the functionality of all system components: connections, cameras, microphones, and so on.

You can start the software:

  1. Automatically. The software starts automatically as the operating system starts.
  2. Manually. To start the program manually, select the Client workstation item in the Windows Start menu (Start → Axxon PSIM → Client workstation) or use the shortcut on the desktop.

Note

If there is no license key and Axxon PSIM is started in the demo mode, the message “Demonstration mode” is displayed in the startup window.

Access to Axxon PSIM can be password-protected. In this case, you must enter your username and password when you start Axxon PSIM.

Note

The number of attempts to enter the password is limited. If you enter an incorrect password three times, you will be able to log in again in 60 seconds.

You can change the number of attempts to enter the password and the timeout for the next attempt using the URAttempts and URDelay registry keys—see Registry keys reference guide.

Login and password are not required when you use Windows account information. To start Axxon PSIM, click the Registration button. The Login and Password fields must be empty.


Authorization by the four-eye rule

If the four-eye rule is configured in the system, then when a user logs in, confirmation from another user—the supervisor—is required. After you click the Registration button, you are prompted to enter the supervisor login and password. After you enter the supervisor password, click the Registration button again.

Password change at login

The password change can be required if Axxon PSIM is configured accordingly. It can occur at the first user login to the system or after the current password time-out. In this case, after you click the Registration button, you are prompted to enter and confirm a new password. The password can be changed by user request if Axxon PSIM is configured accordingly. 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 is displayed:

Attention!

The new password must not match the old one.

To start Axxon PSIM after entering the new password, click the Registration button.

Shutdown

To finish Axxon PSIM operation, do the following:

  1. Move the cursor to the top right corner of the window, and then the main control panel appears.
  2. Click the icon on the main control panel.
  3. Choose the Log Off (User Name) option in the menu.

Note

The Log off (User Name) item is also available from the menu that opens when you click the icon with the left mouse button in the Windows system tray.

Username may not be displayed if user rights are not configured in Axxon PSIM.

The process of quitting the software starts. The system can be configured to request the password again.

Note

When you shut down Axxon PSIM in the remote client configuration in a way that differs from the one described above, particularly when you restart the computer without shutting down Axxon PSIM, the parameters of the interface windows can be unsaved. For example, the information about saved layouts in the video surveillance monitor can be lost.

Note

In some configurations, Axxon PSIM shutdown (logging off) can be forbidden. Then the Log Off (User Name) option isn't displayed in the menu.

Launching the remote client is described in Operations using the client.
