Alert Symbol

Response

Comment

The Alert symbol appears in the upper right corner under one of two cir-

cumstances:

1.

a database change; one in which a change is made to the Gateway’s

configuration. The Alert serves as a reminder that you must

Save

the

changes and

Restart

the Gateway before the change will take effect. You

can make many changes on various pages, and even leave the browser

for up to 8 minutes, but if the Gateway is restarted before the changes

are applied, they will be lost. When you click on the Alert symbol, the

Save Changes page appears. Here you can select various options to save

or discard these changes.

2.

a security event is logged. If you have Security Monitoring keyed, you

receive Alerts whenever there is an event in the log that has not been

viewed. When you click the Alert symbol the Security Log is displayed

and the Alert clears.

If both types of Alert are triggered, you will need to take action to clear

the first type of Alert before you can see the second Alert.
