Restarting the System

If at any time during setup or performance it becomes neces-
sary to restart the system, you can restart the entire system or
reset individual hardware devices.
For more information on restarting D-Show and resetting
system hardware, see Chapter 27, "Troubleshooting."

Setting the System Clock

When you first work with a D-Show system, make sure the sys-
tem clock time, date and time zone are set appropriately. The
system clock setting can affect data synchronization with por-
table storage devices. See "Synchronizing Settings, Shows and
Presets" on page 157.
Changing the system clock while using a timed iLok license
(for a plug-in with a demo period, or for a plug-in rental)
may expire the plug-in authorization.
