To be honest,if you think that this is going to be an ongoing situation with regards to your company maintaing GENT systems it may be worthwhile approaching someone who is currently or has been GENT experienced.
We have got two old trained Gent engineers none of them still has got the software (or their password has expired...), one is in 'Honeymoon' (God bless him) and the other one most of the time off sick, the most recent news about intervewing new Gent engineer, he asked for 50K basic, this is the real world business...

Up and Down till we sort it out :)

Well trained Gent engineers are well wanted mate, they normally bring with them the software with an-updated password, a lot of large and important sites of first priority still have Gent systems: Airports, Hospitals, Universities... and that's the KEY ...

Not over here (I'm in Northern Ireland).You'll be lucky to get a basic salary (excluding on call etc.)  much over 22K here as an engineer!

That's why a young Irish just joined us recently, he was impressed of starting with 25K basic, but latter on he realized, the more you earn the more you spent. It comes to the same fashion, got your point mate.

Hi All, As the Gent engineer who works for the same company as Benzerari I would like to clarify a few things to all and especially Benzerari.
1. The systems in question are not as bad as made out.
2. The panels (32000 systems) are about to be upgraded to Vigilon (SAFE addressing etc...)
3. The new panels and ALL devices should  AND WILL be re-commissioned from scratch.
4. Gent systems are not as scary or as bad as some people think, just a change of thought process.......
5. Fault finding on Gent is easier than most systems (personal opinion only....)
6. Any assistance required drop me a line.........

Honeymoon was great by the way................
