Shutting down or restarting a K2 client
Before you shut down or restart a K2 client, you should stop all media access.
Your options for shutting down a K2 client are as follows:
• Do a local shutdown/restart via AppCenter. Assuming a keyboard, monitor, and
mouse is connected to the local K2 client, in AppCenter select System | Shutdown ,
then select Shutdown or Restart and OK . AppCenter exits, Windows shuts down
and powers off the K2 client.
• Do a local shutdown/restart via Windows. Assuming a keyboard, monitor, and
mouse is connected to the local K2 client, if AppCenter is not open, you can use
the normal Windows procedure to shutdown. You can also do this type of
shutdown/restart using the Windows Remote Desktop Connection.
• In the SiteConfig tree view right-click the K2 Client and select Shutdown or
Select the K2
Media Client... To make these
features available.
