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. This will not
have any effect on single locations systems.
The report was also changed to only display
people who's last card read was within 48 hours
of when the report is run. This will exclude
people who never read out.
With version 3.7.28 and higher the system can
now be configured to routinely export the Who Is
In report database so that other programs can
access it and use the data. The database is
named InRpt.mdb and is a standard Access
database containing two tables.
Totals: Provides the total count of people who
last used a specific device
InRpt: Provides a listing of all people who are
currently in, where they last used their card, and
when they last used their card.
De-Activated Cards in History
The Card Holder Name is now recorded in
history when a card is de-activated or activated.
Previously only the card number was recorded.
This will apply to start/stop dates and to the Use
It or Loose It feature. Users can run a history
report to find out what happened when cards are
automatically shut off.
Temporary Access Levels in Red
When a temporary access level is active the
access level Start Date and Stop Date text is
highlighted in RED. This makes it easier for the
operator to notice when a card is using a
temporary access level. Starting with version
3.7.28 and higher the card holder search engine
now has the ability to search and run reports for
card holders based on Temporary Access Level
start/stop dates.
Added TCP/IP Security
When communicating to a Master Controller
over the LAN/WAN the Comm Server would talk
to a specific IP Address and IP Port number,
however the Comm Server would use a Random
Port Number of its own to do it. This dictated
that Ports 4000 to 5000 to be left open for the
Comm Servers use. To provide additional
security the Comm Server has been changed so
the IP Port Number it uses can be a fixed port
allowing all others to be closed. Each IP Comm
Port has a place to define the IP Address of the
serial server device, the IP Port Number it is
listening on, and the IP Port Number the Comm
Server will use to talk to the serial server Device.
Comm Servers and Workstations that are
communicating over a WAN can now have their
IP Ports changed and set through a registry
setting. This can be used for security measures
or to eliminate conflicts.
USB High Res Camera
WinDSX CamKit boasts a high resolution Video
Camera that connects via a USB port. This USB
Camera eliminates the need for a video capture
card while maintaining High Quality images. The
Camera comes with an integral but optional
flash and has a setup program for fine tuning.
Comes complete with lens, tripod, cable, power
supply, and instructions. Requires ImgKey.
Starting with version 3.7.28 the system now
saves the card holder images in a 4” x 4” size.
The images can be saved as .bmp or as a .jpg
with adjustable compression.
WinDSX software no longer requires an Image
Key for TWAIN or USB Webcams. Now
customers can use low cost USB cameras to
take low-resolution pictures. It is important to
determine whether the camera has live video
capture before purchasing.
List By Card Number
When Card Holders are listed by Card Number
the Start Date field is now displayed in the list.
