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. 
Card Holder Roster Report 
The Roster report prints a report that has 
multiple Card Holders data and pictures on a 
single page. The report will use a badge 
template named Roster and repeat it on a single 
page as many times as possible. The size of the 
Roster badge template will determine how many 
card holders are included on each page. The 
data fields placed on the template determine 
what data is printed with the Card Holder 
picture. This report is under Reports/Card 
Holders. 
Scheduled Override Report 
This new report provides for the first time a 
printed list of scheduled overrides that are 
programmed in Workstation. This report is in 
Database under Reports/Scheduled Overrides. 
New Action Messages 
There is now the ability to display an action 
message on Device Low AC and Low Battery 
events. These conditions use the same action 
message as the Device Comm Loss. Action 
Messages can now contain embedded hot links 
used to display PDFs or other docs or to access 
websites… See Page 2 
Auto-Data Search from Image Recall 
The operator can now double click on the picture 
in the image recall window of WorkStation and 
automatically pull up that Card Holders data in 
the Search window to provide additional 
information about that person. 
Larger Photo ID Badges 
Changed the Badge Template window so that it 
will allow a badge that is up to 4 inches tall. 
Previous limit was 3.6 inches. 
Card Definition Defaults 
The card default text file that can preset defaults 
for card additions now has stop/start dates for 
the card and the ability to define offset or hard 
start/stop dates for temporary access levels. 
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. 
Comm Server Performance 
There is a setting on the Comm Server PC 
called the Comm Server Throttle. The default is 
1000 which is the number of cycles that comm. 
server will run before it sleeps for 1 millisecond. 
The bigger the number the more processor time 
the comm server will occupy. The Throttle can 
be adjusted up until DSX is using the desired 
amount of processor time. 
Changes to Card Holder Reports 
Includes new card holder reports that display 
temporary access levels. Starting with version 
3.7.28 and higher the card holder search engine 
now has the ability to search for card holders 
based on Temporary Access Level start/stop 
dates. 
Password Profile Enhancements 
Operator Passwords are now a minimum of 6 
characters. 
Operator access to each camera can now be 
individually controlled through password profiles. 
Password Profiles with view only privileges now 
allow the operator to double click on an item as 
if they were going to edit it and view all data. 
This does not however allow the operator to 
save any changes only view. This is very 
desirable in the Card Holders section of the 
database. It can also be used with saved 
Reports and everything else in the database. 
There is now the ability to have separate control 
over activation and deactivation of cards. In 
password profiles under Card Holder\Set Card 
Status you can now select add to allow the 
operator to activate cards and delete to allow the 
operator to deactivate cards. Previously they 
were both tied together. Also added was the 
ability to control which linking levels an operator 
can assign to a card. An operator will only be 
allowed to save Linking Levels that contain IO 
points that his password profile has Grant
