Vault
Access the Data Vault Administration window from the red lock icon in your Windows notification area to check the Data Vault Service and Database status and to stop or restart the service without opening the Control Center.
If you have just installed Spector 360 and the Data Vault is not installed on the same computer as the Control Center, the Data Vault system tray icon may not be displayed until the Data Vault computer is restarted.
To open the Data Vault Administration window:
Double-click the red lock icon located in the notification area.

The Data Vault Administration window provides read-only status for:
Version - Displays the Data Vault software version and build number.
Communications - Displays the IP port configured in the Data Vault settings where the service is listening for Client Recorder deliveries.
Base Path - The path the Data Vault Server uses to send files to File Storage.
Database Server - The computer \ Spector 360 SQL Server instance which will receive processed data from the Data Vault.
Database Status - This status will be "OK, Connected" if the service is communicating with the Database, "Unknown" if the service cannot find the Database, or "Not Connected," if the service is not currently communicating with the Database server defined during installation or from the Control Center Properties (Data Vault Settings).
The Data Vault Administration window provides three option buttons:
Stop Service/Start Service - Stop or start the Data Vault Service. When you click Stop Service, you are prompted to confirm stopping the service. When you click Start Service, you are prompted to confirm starting the service.
Log file - Displays the Data Vault Service Log file. The log file tracks the service's attempts to communicate with the database and Clients, and to complete its data storage tasks. The coded messages assist in Data Vault/Database troubleshooting with the help of a SpectorSoft technical support representative.
Windows Firewall - Displays the Windows Firewall Settings box. Mark the "Enable Service Communication through Windows Firewall" checkbox to enable communication through the firewall; clear the checkmark to disable the firewall exception. A status line informs you whether or not Windows Firewall is running at all. Click OK to accept a change in the firewall exception.

Close - Close the Data Vault window.
