Setup

Using Menus

Most people will want to use the menus to do the HS Orb installation.
Just click SET UP on the HS Orb's menu and ignore the rest of this page.

Linden Home residents and similar

Linden Home residents (and people with similar style properties) should chose from the HomeSecurity Orb menu:

SETUP
Basic
Read the few instructions/questions and respond to them if needed.

Operators - You do not have to add extra Operators. You have been added automatically.
Visitors - You can add your friends avatar names to the list by typing in chat: /8addf persons.name
Targets - You do not have to add any Targets.
Attack Type - You need to choose how to treat unwanted people:
- Eject - sends them outside but they might still annoy you from just outside your house.
- Teleport - sends them all the way home away from you.
- Push - gives them a nudge away. This is usually a gentle friendly attack. (Not recommended)

Click TurnOn
Click Guests. Your HS Orb is now removing anyone not on the Guests or Friends list within the Orb
Click TurnOff on the main menu to stop this any time.

Don't be scared to explore the menus and try things. You can always follow these instructions again to put things back to default.

Using Notecards

This is useful when you are setting up multiple HS Orbs with the same settings.

You can edit the Settings and Channel notecards in your HS Orb and then type the command /8reset to force the HS Orb to re-read the notecards.

The command /8reset will not cause the Orb to forget names in its memory.

The current default Settings Notecard for Version 12.000 onwards is called HomeSecurity Settings 9.000 and looks like this:

#################################################################
# IF YOU EDIT THIS NOTECARD YOU WILL NEED TO TYPE /8reset TO FORCE THE ORB TO RE-READ THIS CARD #
#################################################################

# If you find this too confusing then click the HS Orb and select [ SET UP ]
# lines staring with # are commented out!
