Comments Tab

Micro Form

This tab and windowpane are provided to enter information about this micro, such as location data.

Communication Settings Tab

Reference Topic:

Dial-Up Troubleshooting

Parameters Form

Use this tab to select the modems that will be used for dial-up micros.

Installed Modems: Displays all modems currently installed on the PC. To designate a modem for use

with a dial-up micro, enable it by clicking in the box to the left of the modem name so that a check

displays. If you have a modem installed for support use, DO NOT SELECT THAT MODEM.

Disconnect After Idle: Select the number of minutes you want the system to wait before disconnecting

from the micro when the connection is idle (there is no history or database information being exchanged).

If you select 0, the connection will remain active indefinitely and the host will never drop communication

with the micros.

Network Port Range:

• If you communicate with your micros over a local intranet, this does not apply. Ignore these

remarks.

• If you must cross a firewall to communicate with your micros, you will need to read the

following:

Low end:/High end: You will be required to open up a range of ports sufficient to support the number of

micros with which you must communicate outside a firewall. The first ten port addresses are reserved for

client-to-client communication. Anything beyond the first ten port addresses can be used for micro

communication.

Example Addresses:

Default Low end: 6700

Default High end: 6709

(These are the 10 internal port addresses reserved for client-to-client communication.)

Change High end: to: 6710 = Assign address to 1 micro outside the firewall.

6711 = Assign addresses to 2 micros outside the firewall.

6712 = Assign addresses to 3 micros outside the firewall.

Communications Settings Tab

Digital Video Recorder Form

Use this tab to assign or edit a TCP/IP address, PTZ control, event tagging, and clock time

synchronization.

TCP/IP Address

Assign or edit the TCP/IP network address for the DVR.

PTZ Control

Select TCP/IP or None. The default is None. TCP/IP is to be selected if cameras with PTZ capability are

configured on this DVR and require control from SP. None is to be selected if all cameras on this DVR

are either fixed or if no control of PTZ cameras is desired.

Secure Perfect 6.1.1 User Manual 127

Event Tagging

Select TCP/IP or None. The default is None. Select TCP/IP if event triggers are required to tag recorded

video upon activity from defined readers and alarms. Select None if no tagging of recorded video is

required for event triggers and only access to live video is desired upon activity from defined readers and

alarms.

Time Sync Interval

The DVR date and time clock can be syncronized by its host computer to ensure that access control,

alarm, and video events across the entire system are time stamped in sync. When DVRs on a centralized

system reside in different time zones, the DVRs should be hosted by computers in their same time zone.

The Secure Perfect hosting computers will synchronize their DVR clocks at the interval selected as well

as immediately manage any system date and time changes including daylight savings time. Select one:

• None (default)

• 1 Hour

• 4 Hours

• 8 Hours

• 12 Hours

• 24 Hours

If DVRs are required to be synchronized with the Secure Perfect system date and time clock, 12 Hours is

a recommended setting for most systems.

Conditions of Mass Update

The time to process a mass update depends on your system performance, number, and type of

updates. Specifically, the badge learn and alarm processing functions may be influenced. We

recommend that you schedule mass update processing during off-peak hours for your company.

• GE Security has set 200 as the default maximum number of records that can process

updates at one time. However, this number is configurable. Call GE Security Customer

Support for assistance if you want to reconfigure the default.

• ONLY those fields or dialog boxes that are available for mass update changes are enabled in

Mass Update mode.

• Navigating from any form to another form in Mass Update mode will take that form out of

Mass Update mode.

Person Form:

• The following fields are available for mass update: Facility, Personnel Type, Department, and

Access Rights.

Badge Form:

• The following fields are available for mass update: Assign To, Status, Dates – Issue, Dates –

Expiration, and Dates – Return.

• When changing an assigned badge to unassigned, the status automatically changes to

Issuable.

• When changing status to Issuable, a message displays a Yes or No option. If Yes, the status

automatically changes to Issuable and selected badges are unassigned.

• When changing an unassigned badge (status is Issuable) to an assigned person, the status

changes to Active.

• Records selected for mass update with a status changing to anything other than Issuable will

cause a check for badge assignment.

• If any badge in the mass update selection is not currently assigned, these badge records

become unavailable and a message displays indicating they are unavailable.
