Registered Mode and Evaluation Mode

The Mode section displays information about an SR in
registered mode: "REGISTERED" followed by the maximum
number of weeks of data storage ("MAX DATA STORAGE
'X' WEEKS"—in which 'X' represents the number of weeks).
Registered mode pertains to an SR that has been activated
online and registered by M86 Security. An SR in registered
mode will store as much data as allocated for data storage
on its hard drive—and on its attached storage device, if
applicable to the hardware model of the SR server. When
the SR is close to reaching its maximum capacity of data
storage—as determined by the SR when making its routine
30-minute check of available storage space—the oldest
week of data (from Sunday through Saturday) is dropped
from the database.
Evaluation mode is used during the evaluation period of an
SR, a maximum of three weeks by default. Since data is
expired from the server in full weekly increments from
Sunday through Saturday, if a newly installed SR is up and
running on any day of the week after a Sunday (i.e. on a
Monday through a Saturday), the evaluation period would
be less than three weeks. For example, if the SR was
installed on Wednesday, January 5, 2011, the evaluation
period would run from that day until Saturday, January 22,
2011.
NOTES: See the Expiration screen in the System Configuration
Section for more information about data expiration. See also
Appendix A: Evaluation Mode for information about using the SR
in the evaluation mode.
