Schedule Tab

Digital Input Form

This tab is available only if you have selected Digital Output in the Type field on the Digital Input Tab.

Use this tab to assign a schedule. Time schedules define intervals which include a start AND an end time

for different days of the week and modes.

Time schedule

Click the drop-down list to select a previously created time schedule.

Enable/Disable

• Select Enable if you want to enable this digital input when this time schedule starts. Enabling

the digital input allows it to then trigger the associated digital output when a state change

occurs.

• Select Disable if you want to disable this digital input when this time schedule starts.

Disabling the digital input prevents the state change from being reported and the associated

digital output from triggering.

Schedule Tab

Digital Output Form

Use this tab to define schedules for turning digital outputs (DO) on or off. Time schedules define intervals

that include a start AND an end time for different days of the week and modes. At the start of the

schedule, the state of the DO changes to the scheduled value. At the end of the schedule, the state of

the DO returns to the nonscheduled value.

Example: If the DO is scheduled On, the DO will return to Off at the end of the schedule.

Turn DO On/Off

• Time Schedule: Select a time schedule from the drop-down list. This determines when the

DO will automatically turn on and off.

• On/Off: Select On if the above schedule is when you want the digital output to be in the

Active state or Off if the above schedule is when you do not want the digital output to be in

the Active state.

Schedule Tab

Digital Output Group Form

Use this tab to define schedules for turning all digital outputs in a selected digital output group on or off.

DO control

• Time schedule: Select a time schedule from the drop-down list.

• On/Off: Select On if the above schedule is when you want the digital outputs in the selected

digital output group to be in the Active state. Select Off if the above schedule is when you do

not want the digital outputs in the selected digital output group to be in the Active state.

Search

Search Menu

The Search option conducts a search in the database for all records that match the search criteria data

you enter in the form. The records found by the search are displayed in the search results window. Data

can be in any number of fields in the form or any number of tables.

Only records that match all fields in which data are entered are displayed. An asterisk (*) can be entered

in text boxes to indicate wildcard characters. The Search option is available only when a form that

contains records is open.

Example: Enter S* in an appropriate text box to display any records beginning with S. Example: A

search for badgeholders with the last name starting with Sm* would yield such names as Smith and

Smythers.

If no search data is entered, all records display. Any column displaying in the list box can be sorted by

clicking on the column heading.

Clicking this icon from the Secure Perfect toolbar can also access this option:

Secure Perfect Services

Reference Topic:

Log On/Log Off or Shut Down

Windows uses special programs called services. A service is a process that can start automatically when

the system boots and remains running as a background process independently of anyone being logged

in. It runs regardless of whether anyone is logged into Windows or SP. In other words, the computer must

be turned on but no one needs to be logged in. The SQL Server 2000 MUST be running for network

clients to connect and share the SQL database.

Secure Perfect has three services that run on all computers. Refer to your Secure Perfect Installation

Guide for additional information about services. The default Startup Type for services is set to Manual.

You are instructed to set the three services for an Automatic startup during the Secure Perfect installation

process, which means that they start as soon as the computer is started. Once set to Automatic, we

recommend that you do not change these settings.

1. Secure Perfect Diagnostics handles all diagnostics on all computers.

2. Secure Perfect Manager is the main service and handles micro communications and alarms.

3. Secure Perfect System Manager manages communication between computers and licensing.

Changing the state of services without a good working knowledge of the services purpose can cause

the computer to act erratically!

4. Secure Perfect API Service is used when using an API interface. This service is used when an

external system is sending or receiving transactions by way of Application Program Interface to

Secure Perfect. Do not start this service or change the settings unless you are using the API option in

Secure Perfect and have been previously licensed. This service can be started manually at the time

you install an API interface.

Services will automatically shut down when a client closes the Secure Perfect application and meets ALL

of the following criteria:

1. Does not host any micros or DVRs.

2. Does not have any API connections.

3. Is not a Thin Client.

4. Is not a backup client or have any backup clients of its own.

5. Is not a CCTV client.

6. Is not hosting a Guard Tour.

7. Client form Enable Auto Shutdown is selected.

The shutting down of a particular client computer designates that license capacity unused. Now, that

license is available for another computer that can now be designated a Secure Perfect client.

asterisks (*) to ensure the security of the host access system.

Communication Encryption

This feature allows you to configure additional security encryption that scrambles data into an

unbreakable code for public transmission. Encryption protects the Host-to-micro exchange of information.

The Host uses the Exchange Key to send the Data Key to the micro. Once the Data Key is received, the

Host-to-micro communication is encrypted using that key.

Enable Encryption: This check box is available only for head-of-line network, network+dialup, network +

direct, and network + network micros.

This checkbox, and all selections in the Communication Encryption grouping, are not available on

downstream micros.

Exchange Key: There are two options for encrypting an Exchange Key.

• System: When you choose this selection, no additional selections are available or required.

This key is set at the factory.

• Custom: When you select this option, the three dialog boxes become available. At the micro,

enter the 48-character exchange key using FlashTool. This exchange key must be identical

to the key that was entered into the micro parameter block at the micro.

If the Custom exchange key entries do not match, an alarm condition indication displays

in the Reference column of the Alarm Monitor Form.

• Edit: Click to re-assign or revise an existing encrypted Custom exchange key for a selected

micro. It is possible to assign a duplicate exchange key on separate micros in your Secure

Perfect system. When you click this button one time, this button label changes to Auto

Generate.

• Auto Generate: Click this button to system-generate a Custom exchange key. We

recommend that you record this number. You can now enter this key into the micro

parameter block at the micro.
