System Watchdog Control Panel

System Watchdog runs in the background. To invoke its control panel you must enter the Escape Sequence that you entered in the installer.

Press the Escape Key once and then type in your Escape Sequence.

The System Watchdog control panel will then appear. Here you will see various information tabs and these control buttons:

  • Check Connection

    • Checks that inbound port connections (used for remote connection etc.) are able to get through your router/firewall.

  • Settings

    • Shows a menu allowing you to access the various settings windows. These are detailed later.

  • Engineer Visited, Hide

    • This will close the control panel but leave System Watchdog running in the background.

  • Quit

    • This will close System Watchdog entirely. The PC will now be unprotected until System Watchdog is launched again by rebooting the machine or from the Start Menu.

Tip: You may be requested to restart the PC when closing the control panel. This is because you have made changes that can only come into effect when the PC starts up.
