8 Utilities Tab

8.1 General System Utilities

The Utilities tab allows you to view the current server version, view the current C drive version, view any
hot fixes applied, view the IP address, set the system date and time, backup and restore the databases, view
the event log, and upload software updates.

Figure 107. System Utilities Screen

The System Utilities screen displays the current installed server software version, installed hot fixes (if any),
the server IP address as allocated by the router, and the database ID. It also displays the time and date and
allows you to restart or shutdown the server from that screen without requiring a login to Maintenance
Mode.

1. To set the calendar: enter the day, select the month from the drop-down menu, and enter the

current year.

2. To set the current time: enter the hours and minutes then select AM or PM from the drop-down

menu. Once the time is changed, you will be logged out and the time will be downloaded to any
secondary devices.

3. To restart or shutdown the server, click the button. The system will confirm the restart or shut

down, then restart or shut down the server. All devices will go into Cash-Only mode.

4. IMPORTANT NOTE: For Portals and Sentinels, if the server is shut down, the primary unit running

the server will shut down and all other units will go into Cash-Only mode. Be sure someone is on
site to restart the primary unit.
