These are all phantom changes-- which is an ongoing bug with the Optics System. These notifications will also inform you if actual changes are made, but again not what was changed. This bug makes it hard to trust these notifications. If you are worried about unauthorized persons making changes, your best practice is to set an installer password and limit access.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"> </p><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="70%" style="width:70.0%;border-collapse:collapse;border:none"><tr><td style="border:solid black 1.0pt;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b>Event Description </b><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></b></p></td><td style="border:solid black 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b>Timestamp </b><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></b></p></td></tr><tr><td style="border:solid black 1.0pt;border-top:none;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal">Configuration changes are made remotely via OPTICS <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p></td><td style="border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid black 1.0pt;border-right:solid black 1.0pt;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center">02/21/2019 07:31 <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="border:solid black 1.0pt;border-top:none;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal">Configuration changes are made locally via MATE3/AXS Port <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p></td><td style="border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid black 1.0pt;border-right:solid black 1.0pt;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center">02/21/2019 07:32 <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="border:solid black 1.0pt;border-top:none;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal">Configuration changes are made remotely via OPTICS <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p></td><td style="border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid black 1.0pt;border-right:solid black 1.0pt;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center">02/21/2019 07:33 <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="border:solid black 1.0pt;border-top:none;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal">Configuration changes are made remotely via OPTICS <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p></td><td style="border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid black 1.0pt;border-right:solid black 1.0pt;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center">02/21/2019 07:33 <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="border:solid black 1.0pt;border-top:none;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal">Configuration changes are made locally via MATE3/AXS Port <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p></td><td style="border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid black 1.0pt;border-right:solid black 1.0pt;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center">02/21/2019 07:33 <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p></td></tr></table></div><p class="MsoPlainText"> </p><p class="MsoPlainText">Kienan:</p><p class="MsoPlainText"> </p><p class="MsoPlainText">You can save and restore configurations while on site.
