A yellow warning icon and text CONFIGURATION REQUIRED alert if further user settings must be entered.

Support for main/backup Connection

Currently there is no autonomous support at switching.

  • A simple workaround is creating two open Timing Display instances and manually switching between them.

Troubleshooting

Web Apps Service reports as offline

At any time you can start the Mosart Web Applications Configuration Tool and check operating status.

A common error is when a Windows service has failed.

  • Try restarting the service with the Restart button.

  • You can also rewrite any previously entered values with the Reconfigure button.
