Master Panel

account, this identifies one panel to be
referenced for common panel settings (users,
etc.) during a "Get From Panel" database
update.
For details on transferring settings, refer to "Panel
Communications and Updates".
Global Account Options
-Allow PIN Duress: Whether or not users will
have the option (at system keypads, and
readers set for card / UID +PIN entry) to indicate
they are being forced to enter by reversing the
last two digits of their PIN. This will be logged
as a duress alarm.
- Panic Token Sends Duress
(V4.4): This sets
detection of panic tokens to be transmitted as a
duress alarm. (Otherwise, it will be logged
locally, but not transmitted. (Also see next
item.)
Tip: Whether or not a card/token will be treated as a
'panic token' is set in the authorities assigned to the
specific user (card/token).
-------------------------
- Display Card Number: This shows the card
number for each user (and/or hides user-ID
references) in event messages, reports, and
other locations (e.g., fallback users screen);
- Synchronize panel time daily (V4.5): Each
panel keeps track of time independently.
Beginning with V4.5, a selection is provided that
synchronizes all panel time clocks in an account
with the Director server PC. This occurs
overnight around 3:00 am.
For sites that include camera(s) associated with doors
and/or sensors (for "Video Events"), this 'time sync'
feature is selected automatically--and cannot be
unselected. This ensures time-stamps associated with
camera images will be synched correctly across all
cameras.
- Enable User In/Out Status for this Account:
This turns user In/Out status tracking on and off.
(Default = Enabled.) If this feature is not
needed, you can unselect it to free up Director
server resources.
Note: This selection is needed for the following
features:
+ User In/Out status tracking (in Control & Status);
+ Time & Attendance Reports;
+ Roll Call (and Instant Roll Call) reports.
- PIN Mode: Whether user-PINs (for use at
reader keypads, and system (LCD/LED)
keypads will be four or five digits long;

across multiple accounts ("Shared Users"; V4.2

- User Logon Mode: This determines whether
users must enter their ID number or card
number when logging onto LCD keypads, and/or
gaining entry at doors (e.g., ID + PIN mode).
User-number selections include the number of
digits--which should be set to support the largest
card number used at the site.
-Escort Required Mode: The type of cards/users
who will be able to escort "Visitor (Escort-
Required)" users throughout the facility.
Escort User: Valid users/cards with "Escort Privilege"
authority; Permanent User
: Valid users/cards that do
not have an expiry date; Any User
: Any valid
users/cards--either permanent or temporary.
Note: In each case, escorts CANNOT be set as
"Visitor (Escort-Required)" themselves.

duration for which all sensors (input points)
that are tripped momentarily will be treated as
'in alarm' (i.e., after this time, they will be reset
to 'OK').

(V4.4): Enter your dealer code here
(1-65,535). This value is used with "6-digit PIN
of the day" service PIN mode.
