Shutting Down the Software
The following is the recommended method to shut down the software and its peripheral devices. To
prevent loss of data, follow these procedures in the order listed. If your system includes optional
hardware, refer to the equipment's documentation and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Procedure
1. Start from any Topaz System page.
2. Click TOPAZ SHUTDOWN in the bottom right corner of the screen. The message “Are you
sure that you want to shut down the system?” displays. Click OK.
3. The Topaz System program closes and returns to the Windows desktop.
At this point you can start another application or continue to shut down the Windows operating
system in the recommended manner.
CAUTION: Once you have shut down the Topaz workstation, all on-line processing stops at the workstation. If the
Topaz Server is powered down, it will not enunciate any alarm reports or access requests. Depending on your
current security hardware, access control decisions may then be handled by the controller (ACU) in the field.


You should have a contingency plan in effect to monitor alarms manually while the Topaz Server is off-line. You
must take whatever precautions necessary to protect the safety of the personnel and equipment in your facility.
CAUTION: Shutting down the Topaz program at the server terminates all communications to the field devices.
Alarms and events will no longer report to the server until the program is restarted and a download is initiated.
Although the alarms and events are stored at the local field panel (ACU) until the server is back on-line, the
amount of data stored is determined by the on-board memory of these devices.
