1 Introduction
These release notes provide information on the latest MM8000 MP3.15 software
delivery. In this release, MM8000 has been further enhanced with new functions
and number of bug corrections.
1.1 What’s new in MP3.15
This section presents the differences between the new MM8000 MP3.15
and the previous version (MP3.10). See more details in the ‘Installation,
Configuration and Commissioning’ manual (006799_h_en).
1.1.1 SiPass
The SiPass integrated access control system V2.2 can be integrated with MM8000
MP3.15 for a comprehensive security solution. The ACC controllers can be sup-
ported.
Currently, the integrated solution can:
 Substitute the existing MM8000 functionalities for the SiPass functions related
to door event management, thus harmonising the entire event treatment of the
safety and security devices.
 Handle the AC users and access permissions configuration using the SiPass
software integrated into the MM8000 user interface.
 Allow for basic door statuses and control commands from the MM8000 text
pages and graphic maps. Namely:
– States:
– Door Alarm (Door Forced or Held)
– Door Locked / Unlocked
– Output Active / Inactive
– Input/Output Tamper
– Device Faults (except for Readers)
– Commands:
– Door Lock / Unlock (propagated on the geographical tree)
– Allow Access
– Output Activate / Deactivate
 Store the security-relevant AC transactions in the MM8000 history database.
Namely:
– Access Denied (only for Zone Violation and Hardware Anti-pass back)
– Access Granted (not tracked by default)
 Support the connectivity to ACC controllers over a LAN network. Note that Cer-
Pass CC30 units are not supported yet.
Note: Currently, the SiPass integration is available for MM8000 MP3.15 but not for
the other DMS8000 products (check latest Release Notes).
1.1.2 Pager
In MM8000 MP3.15, a new paging system is supported for remote notifications of
danger events. The paging transmitter unit is connected to the MM8000 server
over a serial line. The ESPA 4.4.4 protocol is used.
