Active Directory Authentication

WinDSX SQL can now utilize complex logins

and passwords facilitated by Active Directory in

Windows™. Operator Logins can be

authenticated by Active Directory instead of

WinDSX. When WinDSX SQL receives a login

from an operator it sends the login request to

Active Directory (AD) for authentication. If AD

authenticates the operator they are given access

to the system according to the Password Profile

assigned to them in WinDSX. 4.8.65

Backup SQL Server

This version of WinDSX SQL allows for the

definition of both a primary and backup SQL

Server and database path. If the primary SQL

Server fails the software can be shut down and

restarted and it will connect to the backup SQL

Server and database path. This feature will

facilitate off site backup SQL Servers that

cannot use SQL Clustering for redundancy.

4.8.65

AES 256bit Encryption

Communication between the DSX Comm Server

and the Intelligent Controllers can now be

secured using AES 256 bit Encryption. Each

location can optionally be encrypted with its own

Key. Communications between the Comm

Server PC and the Client Workstations can also

be assigned an Encryption Key to secure the

communications between PCs. 3.7.101 / 4.8.51

Alarm Email Notification

Alarms can now be emailed using an SMTP

Server. Location, Device, and Inputs can be

individually selected to send notification to Email

Groups on Alarm. Email Groups can be one or

multiple people each with a Time Zone that

determines when the alarm can be emailed to

that person. Email Groups are built from Card

Holders that have an Email address in a

designated UDF field. Available in WinDSX

Versions 3.7.36 and 4.8.8 and higher.

Comm Server runs as a Service

With this new WinDSX upgrade you can now

have the Communication Server program run as

a Service without having a user logged into the

Windows™ operating system. This provides the

ability for the Comm Server program to run on a manned or unmanned PC. Comm Server can be configured as a Service with WinDSX Versions 3.7.34 and WinDSX SQL Version 4.8.6 and higher. Keymon can also be run as a Service. Startup Maps / Configurable Map Size WinDSX and WinDSX SQL can now support Maps of varying size. Each Map can have its height and width defined. Workstation can now launch a Map automatically upon startup.

Hot-Swap Redundant Comm Servers Hot-Swap Redundant Communications Servers provides continued availability of System Communications and Control through the implementation of Primary and Backup Communication Server PCs. Available only with WinDSX SQL the Hot-Swap Supervisor runs on the Backup Comm Server and monitors the Primary Comm Server. When the primary fails all communications are redirected to the Backup Comm Server.

LAN/WAN. This module is powerful but simple. The unit is Auto-sensing (10/100Mbit) so just plug it in no matter what the speed of the customers Network. Auto-duplexing allows it to work on any router it is connected to. The module is powered by 12VDC from any DSX Controller, which also provides battery backup for the unit. The unit can be ordered with Dial-up Modem backup for added communications reliability.

The Elevator Access Report will show this data on a single line as a new event called Elevator Access. This report can include other events as well such as Output Secure/Open. This new report can be used to show who accessed a certain floor through a particular or any given elevator cab, what floor a card holder accessed, or all activity in a particular cab or cabs.

To allow security personnel to simply press a button and receive the Who Is In Report without having a PC in the area would only require a push button wired to any panel input and a printer connected to the LAN. Route History Reports Via Email-new DSX has implemented the ability to route predefined automated history reports to an email address or multiple addresses through a SMTP Server. History reports can be configured to automatically run up to twice a day on any or all days of the week.

used to bring existing systems up to today’s capabilities for a minimal cost. The DSX-1022 is the direct replacement for the DSX-1021. Also added the StartTime and StopTime parameters to the CardDflt.txt file. This will allow you to set default values for the start and stop time fields on new cards. Card Holder Roster Report The Roster report prints a report that has multiple Card Holders data and pictures on a single page.

Access privileges to in the IO override section the password profile. Added the ability to implement Hidden UDF fields. This will prevent operators from seeing selected UDF data they are not authorized for. Also, Alarm Acknowledge and Resolve is now restricted and must be enabled in the appropriate password profiles. “Who Is In” Report Changes Changed the Who Is In report to work from APB zone 1 only and to base a person's inclusion in the report off the last card read.

Scroll through Card Holder Images Card Holder images can be viewed from the Card Holder Names screen (General Tab) in DataBase and from the Names Search Window (Binoculars) in Workstation. By double clicking on the picture in the image window in either place will now rotate through the all of the available images. This will not display signature images! Visitor Management & DataBase Sharing DSX has a basic Visitor Management feature and a Database import utility built into the software.

the bottom right corner of the cardholder window. When clicked the DSX software will create a text file that follows the DSX ASCII import format containing the current cardholder information. It will also call a specified program. This program will be exclusive to the biometric device and can read in the card holder data from the text file and provide the biometric enrollment. The export files can also be used to import a card holder into a separate DSX system.
