In-Depth Guide to System Configuration for Secure Access Control

This comprehensive guide details the System.Configuration module used for configuring hardware access levels, handling database reads and writes, and managing alarm signals in real-time. Key features include the use of IF/THEN functions, operator permissions, and the ability for only one PC to execute commands while another remains in read-only mode. It explains how to customize global settings, manage operator history, configure controllers, define reader settings, and set permissions for cardholders. Designed for systems using IP or PC numbers, this guide is essential for understanding the intricate details of access control systems.

  2. Overview • Main module for configuring system • Hardware • Access Levels • Maps • IF/THEN Functions • Operators/Permissions • Reads & Writes from the database • ‘Signals’ Alarm Mode when changes made • Can only be run by one PC at a time • 2nd PC in read-only mode

  3. Main Screen • Select function from toolbar or menu • Save/Load configuration • Right-click menus

  4. Global Settings • Sets options that apply to whole system • Commonly used: • Max Cards • Save Expiration Date • Six Access Levels • Operator History • Override possibility (per controller)

  5. PC Configuration • Include each PC that will run APACS • System uses IP, alternate is PC Number • Setup COM ports if used

  6. Controller Configuration • Defines functions stored in controller

  7. Controller - Properties • Communication parameters • Select individual port • Don’t touch! • Excpetion: ENIs for devices

  8. Controller - Formats • Defines which formats the controller will accept • Specifics are outlined in CARDFRMT.INI

  9. Controller – Format List • Creates lists so that individual readers can use different combinations of formats.

  10. Controller - IVs • Internal variables are IF/THEN conditions stored in the controller.

  11. Controller – Comm • Connection parameters if network connection is used. • Controller-host encryption

  12. Controller – DL Spec • Defines features that are downloaded to intelligent reader interfaces • Different records can be configured for individual readers

  13. Reader Configuration • Specifies Reader type and address • Strike Timers

  14. Reader-Hardware • Download spec record selection • Card Format List selection • Commands

  15. Reader – TZ Control • Reader state change automatically

  16. Reader – Mode • Online/Offline mode • Timed Anti-passback • Advanced features • Escort

  17. Reader – Commands • Commands from AP-500 or other keypad readers

  18. Reader - Elevator

  19. Reader - Biometric • Integrated biometric readers • Specify connection parameters

  20. Reader – Inputs/Outputs • Each input/output can be set individually • Control/mask time zone • Internal variable

  21. Alarm Panel Configuration • Defines alarm panel

  22. Alarm – Inputs • Inputs configured individually • Mask time zone • Entry/exit delay • Internal varible

  23. Alarm – Outputs • Individually configured. • Can ‘listen’ to one or more inputs • Control time zone

  24. Status Panel Configuration

  25. Object Groups • Four different types • Assist for programming/control

  26. Zone Groups • Group of alarm inputs

  27. Permissions – Ctrl/Msgs • Permission Sets define what operators can do/see • Control – change state of device or assign access level • Messages – see activity from an object

  28. Permissions • Other permissions define ability to access features or configured options

  29. Permissions • Ability to perform functions in Alarm Mode • Cardholder group allows/denies access to assigned cardholders

  30. Permissions • Database section permissions are used to restrict on a table by table basis
