Activity Monitor
The Activity Monitor displays badge and intrusion zone transactions on the system’s readers. Once you
configure your readers, this is a way to verify that the configuration is correct and that the readers work
as you expect. Before the Activity Monitor can display badge transactions for a reader, the reader MUST
be marked as Active and Online and the activity for the reader MUST be routed to the Activity Monitor. By
default, routing for all transactions is set to the Activity Monitor.
Intrusion Zone activity is based on reader, Digital Inputs, or manual control transactions within assigned
Intrusion Zones. Arm, disarm, or fail activity is displayed for activity within that Intrusion Zone.
In a system using database partitioning (facilities), the Activity Monitor Form will display activity based on
the reader’s facility regardless of the person’s facility assignment.
