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. This
report is a standard part of the software upgrade
but does require a minimal amount of setup in
the database before the reports can be used.
Faster History Searches
History Searches are much quicker when
selecting specific card holders and events.
Cad Drawings for Alarm Maps
WinDSX allows up to 21 different graphic file
formats to be imported into the system and used
for Alarm Maps. This latest enhancement
provides for .dxf, dwg, drw, and plt, file formats
to be imported and used as alarm maps.
Regional Time Zone Settings
This feature allows for each Location (separate
loop of panels) and each Workstation (PC) to
have their Time set according to their Locale,
similar to the way Regional Time Zones are
assigned in Windows™ on your PC. This
simplifies and enhances the accuracy of
Time/Date recording and processing of system
operations.
Once the software is upgraded the Regional
Time Zone is configured for each Workstation
PC and Location in the DataBase program. For
Example, if the Comm Server PC is in Dallas,
Texas it would be set to Central Time while a
Workstation in San Diego would be set to Pacific
Time. A panel location in Florida would be set to
Eastern Time.
Customers that are upgrading their software and
had previously used the Time Off Set values for
locations and workstations must manually set
the Regional Time Zone for each location and
workstation after the upgrade.
Image Ghosting
We have added the ability to Ghost an image or
graphic on a badge. This is a great badge
security feature. Images can be placed on the
badge with varying degrees of transparency. For
example a company logo could be placed
across a section or the entire card as a semi-
transparent graphic while text and other
information could be printed over it. The Card
Holder Image could also be ghosted this way
providing a more secure card that is very difficult
to duplicate or forge.
Override Anti-Passback Separated
from Master Access Level
Overriding Anti-Passback is now an option that
can be given any Card Holder regardless of their
access level assignment. Previously only a card
with the Master Access Level did not have anti-
passback enforced. Now there is a separate
check box for overriding anti-passback. Cards
that have anti-passback override do not have to
follow the anti-passback rules. For example, this
allows for a parking attendant to enter the
garage multiple times before Exiting.
A card can still be assigned the master access
level and anti-passback override but one is no
longer necessary to get the other. This feature
does require the DSX controllers to have a Flash
ROM version of 3083 and higher or an EPROM
version of 568 and higher.
“Who Is In” Report by Input Alarm
The "Who is In" Report is a unique report that
provides the "IN" Status of all Card Holders in
the system. The report can be sorted by
Company or by Device (reader location). The
report is conveniently initiated from the Who Is
In Report Button in the toolbar located at the top
of the DataBase program.
The system can also be configured to print this
report automatically when a predefined alarm is
received. Each Workstation can be configured to
print a Who Is In Report for a particular Location
depending on the alarm received. The Report is
sent to the default printer for that Workstation.
