Choosing Temperature Measurement Unit Prefer-
ences
When viewLinc is installed, temperature is set to display in
degrees Celsius. You can configure viewLinc to show
temperatures in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
To choose temperature measurement units:
1
In viewLinc, go to
Options | System Configuration |
Preferences
.
2
In the Name column, select Preferred Temperature Units
and in the Value column, choose either Celsius (C) or
Fahrenheit (F).
Note:
This procedure does not alter how the device
measures temperature - it alters the units in
which temperature is displayed (except for chan-
nels which already have preferred unit settings
assigned).
Setting Session Expiry Time
viewLinc allows you to set a session expiry time after which a
user or administrator must reconfirm their identity by
reentering their password. This prevents non-authorized
users from making changes to viewLinc.
