Log On/Log Off

Enter your logon/logoff ID and Password:

• To start the Secure Perfect client program from the File menu.

• To quit the Secure Perfect client program using the Close button in the top right corner of the

Secure Perfect window.

The default Login/logout ID is secure and the default Password is master. If you purchased your

system from GE Security, the default ID and Password are set for you.

UPGRADES: Versions of Secure Perfect 4.0 and earlier did not require case-sensitive default login

passwords. When upgrading from a version of Secure Perfect 4.0 or earlier, you may experience a

problem logging in. If you have never changed it, your Secure Perfect default password may be set to

initial caps, as in 'Master' and not 'master.'

Logoff

The Logoff option on the File menu allows you to log off of Secure Perfect without closing the program. A

message box displays. Click OK to log off of the Secure Perfect application (logging off allows an

operator to log off and another operator to log in without ending the program.) or Cancel to cancel the

logoff process. While logged off, no one can enter data into SP; however, Secure Perfect continues to

communicate with the micros, store alarm and badge transactions in the history database, and notify you

of alarms based on you facility assignment. Refer to the Client Form for information on turning alarm

notifications on and off.

The Secure Perfect services are still running but you will not receive any alarm notifications. DO NOT

shut down services unless you are instructed or the system requires maintenance.

Shutting Down

It is ESSENTIAL that you shut down Secure Perfect and your computer properly. The results could be

disastrous if you do not follow this procedure. You may be required to re-install all of the software on your

computer.

To shut down the Secure Perfect services:

1. Click START, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and then Services. Scroll to

Secure Perfect services. The services must be stopped in the following order:

 Secure Perfect Manager (Shutting down Secure Perfect Manager service stops micro

communications.)

 Secure Perfect System Manager (Shutting down Secure Perfect System service stops client

communications.)

 Secure Perfect Diagnostics

2. Exit Control Panel.

3. From the taskbar, click Start, then Shut Down.

4. From the Shut Down Windows form, verify that Shutdown the computer? is selected and click Yes.
