Fall Backward with ALL your Computers 
Greetings!

More clocks than you can remember...?
 
Just a reminder - when the Time shifts back this weekend, some systems may not keep pace.  You might want to start now to make a list of all those things that are controlled by time, and maybe even set some of them back before you leave the office today.  Here's a few items that I usually notice are forgotten with the new Date for Time Change: 
Some Clocks you may not want to forget... 
Security Surveillance Systems
surveillance system
Usually your alarm system is tied to the telephone network, and gets the time from their system.  But what about the Surveillance System?
TimeClocks/Work
Hour Logging
Time Clock
Depending on what controls the time clock, you may need to adjust the time manually.  For workstations, give us a call... 
Programmable Thermostats

Sometimes they're smart enough to know the time change, but generally not. For your office, you might want to change this before you leave.
Telephone Systems
phone system
Most businesses today have phone systems that run from a computer.  Don't forget to set this clock, or everyone may be going home early on Monday...
Most of your Windows XP/Vista Workstations should be updated with current patches that will adjust the time correctly.  If they don't it's time to look at getting them updated now.  File Servers, Print Servers, and Network Attached Storage devices that do NOT run on Windows may also need to be changed. 
 
Occasionally we find some Internet Routers/Gateways that also need to have the time adjusted, particularly if you have internet access controlled by time of day.
 
So, if you need assistance in getting things "back in sync" on Monday morning, feel free to give us a call.  We're here to help!.
