SYSTEM HARDWARE—DEVICES .......................................................... The principal device in the system is the host computer. The host controls all data maintained in the database, records all system activity, and is the central point for all reporting activity. The host communicates with all other system devices, and may communicate to selected devices via a Local Controller (LC) computer. Access control systems include various other devices. Simple systems may use only an ACU, contact switches, and a single reader type. More complex systems may use several ACU reader types and many other devices. Devices are classified as input or output units P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 StarGaze User Guide 1-5 1 INTRODUCTION System Hardware—Devices depending on their particular function. Detectors and identifiers are input devices; alarms and actuators are output devices. Pol l er s Pollers are device-specific application programs that communicate with ACUs, input/output devices and other system components. Pollers are described in detail in Chapter 4, Hardware Configuration De vi ce s—Mi cr op roc essor U n it s Table of Devices–Microprocessor Units Access Control Units (ACUs). In a system employing distributed processing, the ACUs control Door Access, monitor various types of Input Points and convey this activity to the StarGaze server. The status of all components and monitored points is also relayed to the server. Current ACUs include the Star I, Star II, 4100 family and the 818SC. These controllers are fully intelligent and capable of functioning independently, either on-line or off-line from the StarGaze server. (NOTE: Star II controllers must be installed on a separate Poller from other intelligent controllers.) StarGaze also supports intelligent legacy ACUs including the 818SX, the 808 family and the SE 422. The host-dependent 708/718P are also supported by StarGaze, but they must be used on a separate poller dedicated to 708/718 units. 1-6 StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 System Hardware—Devices ..... INTRODUCTION Re ad er s Table of Reader Types Readers and Sensors These units electronically read the security card presented and transmit the data to the ACU. Reader/Sensor types include: Analog Proximity, Digital Proximity, Magnetic Stripe, and Wiegand. Analog Card Sensors An analog card sensor can read the unique numbers on an analog proximity card. (808, 818, 422 and 708/718) Digital Card Readers A digital card reader can read the unique numbers from NexWatch digital cards at various convenient ranges. (SE 422, 818SC, 4100 family, Star I and Star II controllers. Keypads Keypads, normally used in conjunction with a digital key reader, provide additional security by requiring a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to be entered. Magnetic Stripe Card Reader A Magnetic Stripe card reader reads the card number from information coded into a magnetic stripe on the card. You must move the card physically (“swiped”) through the reader to read properly. Wiegand (3rd Party) Readers Many companies manufacture various card readers that communicate to an access control panel in Wiegand emulation protocol. Axcess, HID, Motorola Indala and many others produce such readers. Our Universal Wiegand Interface Unit (UWIU) can decode and interpret the output from the vast majority of these readers. The decoded data is then sent to a NexWatch controller in our S-NET protocol for access decisions to be made. P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 StarGaze User Guide 1-7 1 INTRODUCTION System Hardware—Devices Biometric Readers NexWatch Star I, Star II and 4100 family controllers can interface to devices such as BII Veriprint fingerprint readers and RSI hand geometry readers that check body characteristics for confirming building access permissions. I np u ts an d Ou tp u ts Input Points are any kind of devices that monitor a physical phenomenon and close a switch or relay when something changes. These include magnetic switches used for door position indication, PIR motion detectors used for Request to Exit (REX), thermostats, humidity detectors and the like. Inputs in StarGaze are placed in 4 distinct categories: . Table of Input Points 1-8 Alarm Points An Alarm point is any input that measures a potential threat to facility security. Examples include intrusion detectors, computer room thermostats, fire panel interface contacts and toxic gas detectors. When a point defined as an ALARM becomes active, a StarGaze operator must take action to acknowledge and clear the transaction from the Alarm Servicing Window. General Points A GENERAL Point is something that is monitored for information or control, but is not a threat. A photocell that turns on exterior lighting would be a General Point. StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 System Hardware—Devices ..... INTRODUCTION Door Switch A Door Switch is a door position contact used only in conjunction with a card reader or keypad. It reacts to the status of the reader controlled door with Door Forced Open or Door Held Open transactions. A door position contact on a non-card controlled door (such as a fire exit) should be an Alarm type input. Request-toExit (REX) Point An input that is used to advise the ACU that someone is exiting through a door is defined as a REX point. Motion sensors, push-buttons, panic bar switches and the like can be used for REX purposes. A regular REX point will cause the ACU to ignore the Door Switch for a time period equal to the door unlock time. During this time, a person may open the door without causing a Door Forced Open transaction. If the door is equipped with a magnetic lock, powered door or other similar locking device, it is necessary to use an Open on REX point which will also unlock the door. Monitor Input Relay Output (MIRO) MIROs are devices attached to a NexSentry 4100-series controller with monitor inputs and relay outputs provided on the MIRO PC board. Examples are the MIRO 16/8 with 16 monitor inputs and eight relay outputs, the MIRO 2/24 with two monitor inputs and 24 relay outputs, and the MIRO 32/0 with 32 monitor inputs and zero relay outputs. Multiple Switch Monitor (MSM) The MSM is a four-point input monitoring box that is connected to a 708/718/8XX-series controller. Each MSM provides four monitor inputs. Output Points are generally located on a controller or on a MIRO module (see below). They actuate a door lock, alarm horn, parking P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 StarGaze User Guide 1-9 1 INTRODUCTION System Hardware—Devices gate or any other type of electrically operated device. In StarGaze are placed in 3 categories: Table of Output Points Door Locks Annunciation and Control Relays CCTV Cameras Lock relays DO NOT need to be defined in a Point Entry window. Their hardware address will be selected in the Reader Entry window under the Reports tab. Relays for purposes other than locks need to be defined individually in the Point Entry window. These relays are generally used for local annunciation of forced or held doors, display map indicators or controlled reactions to specific system events. Outputs can also be “Logical Points” such as a camera in a CCTV switcher system. The computer uses the Event/Task function to route the signal from a particular video camera to a specific monitor based on conditions in that area. For example, if the computer detects an open rear door, it can display the camera output at that door on the video monitor at the security desk. AC U Inp u t / Ou tp u t Com p one n ts Table of ACU Input/Output Components MIRO Modules 1-10 Star I, Star II and 4100 family ACUs employ modules called MIROs (Monitor Input / Relay Output) for connecting Inputs (Door Switch, REX, etc.) and Relay controlled outputs (Locks, buzzers, etc.). Some controllers have MIRO functions built into the controller. Others depend entirely on external MIRO modules. See each Controller Installation Manual for complete details. StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 System Hardware—Devices ..... INTRODUCTION Multiple Switch Monitors (MSM) 818SX/SC, 808 family and 708/718 controllers use an MSM (a unique Analog device) for all input monitoring. Most ACUs will handle 8 MSMs, one for each Analog Proximity Sensor (reader). Each MSM accepts 4 inputs. (Some ACUs only support 4 Sensors and 4 MSMs.). SE 422 MI and RO Devices The SE 422 uses a unique family of Input/Output devices similar to the MIROs mentioned above. The 422 MI and 422 RO components may only be used with a 422. P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 StarGaze User Guide 1-11 1 INTRODUCTION Principal System Functions PRINCIPAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS .......................................................... Ac ce ss C on tro l Table of Access Control Features 1-12 Anti-Passback Control Anti-passback prevents tailgating or unauthorized key use. Anti-passback is possible across multiple access control devices, and is defined as hard—which denies access—or soft—which allows access—but displays and logs a message. The software can handle vehicle and personal passback separately. Access Control Permits Cardholders with assigned access codes to pass through only those doors assigned to them during the proper days and hours. Automatic Activate / Deactivate Permits the automatic activation of specific output points to control lighting, status indicators, or other electrically controlled functions. Automatic Unlock / Lock Allows doors to be unlocked automatically only during specified time periods, then re-locked automatically at a corresponding time: when the time period expires. Communicatio ns Monitor Permits security personnel to check all wiring and communications to all hardware elements and displays raw data exchange between the host computer and a connected device. StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 Principal System Functions ..... INTRODUCTION Event Monitoring Events are displayed and door status and other access points are monitored in real time. Security personnel may watch events at all doors in the system from one or many locations. It is also easy to configure the system so an operator in a specific location can only monitor activity that occurs within that location. The same operator can only see the database windows for cardholders and equipment assigned to that specific location. This is a feature of the Tenant function. Flexible Event / Task Function Flexible Event/Task handling automatically activates outputs, displays special messages, and enables / disables devices. Anything which can be done manually on the StarGaze Security Management System can also be performed automatically using Event/Task relationships. Keypad PIN Entry A DR 4200 Keypad (or an older VIP-2) can be used as an additional identifier for people seeking access in a StarGaze system. On 422, 818, 4100 and Star controllers, the ACU has the ability to calculate a unique PIN number for each cardholder. The PINs are dependent on a value called a PIN SEED as well as each individual’s card number. The PIN numbers calculated by the ACU will be printed and assigned to the corresponding Cardholders. In high security applications, the entire list of PIN numbers can be regenerated by simply changing the PIN SEED value. In 4100 family and Star controllers, it is also possible for each Cardholder to select their own PIN number. This makes PINs easier to remember, but offers slightly lower overall security. P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 StarGaze User Guide 1-13 1 INTRODUCTION Principal System Functions Manual Access Control Multiple Occupancy Feature Two-Man Rule Allows security personnel to manually open any door in response to an access request. It may be used with closed-circuit TV to verify and admit people, or to track cardholders who have forgotten their credentials. It includes the capability to record cardholder IDs if credentials are not available. All manual actions are logged as Transactions. Defines a zone which denies access if it would leave a single person in a zone. Programming to grant access only after two valid card credential presentations have been made at the same reader within a predefined period of time. (NOTE: Both the Multiple Occupancy and Two-Man Rule ..............features require the use of Host Access Codes.) Fi l e Ma in t en an ce StarGaze, like any computer-based Access Control system, needs to have a solid structure to its database. Almost all database entries in StarGaze are 4-digit numerical fields. The only exceptions are Cardholders, Companies and Cardholder data tables #5 and #6. These will be explained in turn. Most important is the structure of the numbering scheme for the system hardware. All components including computers, Pollers, ACUs, Readers and Input/Output points share a single 4-digit table. Based on the anticipated size of the system, a numbering scheme must be devised that coverall equipment in the system. Lay out a pattern to follow as the system grows in size over the years. Feel free to contact NexWatch Field Sales or Tech Support for suggestions on this database structure. 1-14 StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 Principal System Functions ..... INTRODUCTION Re p ort in g The StarGaze Security Management System produces a comprehensive selection of reports for display at the system terminal or for hard-copy output from the system printer: Table of Reported Information Database Entries Details all system database content including Cardholders, Access Codes and assignments, ACUs, Readers, etc. Alarms and Responses Historical report of alarms which occurred at specific times and locations, and the responses input by the security staff. Database Changes Report of database change activity, which includes the name of the operator who made the changes. This Optional capability requires Nexwatch to enable the journaling feature. See Chapter 6, Using System Maintenance Functions for Journal Reporting. Cardholder History The last twenty uses made by a particular cardholder. Point History The last twenty events at any door or point. It is designed as a quick way to view a limited number of events. Selective Transactions You can create carefully sorted and filtered reports of all system activity. Reports based on the activity of a single Cardholder, group of Cardholders for a specific time period are easily configured. Likewise, activity at specific Doors or groups of Doors can also be generated. P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 StarGaze User Guide 1-15 1 INTRODUCTION Creating the Database CREATING THE DATABASE .......................................................... Once the system is in place, first obtain the following information from the system installer: Table of DB Information to Obtain from System Installer System Interconnect Diagram (As-Builts) Shows all wiring and connections in the system, and provides information needed for entering pollers, devices, readers, and points. Poller Configuration Information Shows how the pollers were initialized, including poller type, physical port connection, and other poller-specific information. Because all system activity is based on four-digit ID numbers, you must decide before data entry how to assign these numbers to the system hardware elements. The numbering system is entirely the choice of the StarGaze Security Management System owner. Dat a En tr y Se q ue n ce The following sequence is a logical suggestion. NOTE: Although the “Hyper-entry Feature” on page 2-21 in ............. .............Chapter 2 permits faster data entry, NexWatch recommends .............that you follow the sequence below for the most efficient data .............entry when you create the database. 1-16 StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev.

The LC system is a computer attached via dedicated lines to the host. Elevator Control Permits floor-by-floor control of the elevator floor buttons. When a cardholder presents a key to a reader in the elevator, certain buttons, wired via computercontrolled output contacts, can be enabled for use. The cardholder is able to select only those which have been enabled for his / her specific access privileges. Badging Interface Integrates one or more photo-badging systems with the StarGaze Security Management System. Cardholder information and photo IDs are transferred via a LAN to the StarGaze Security Management System from the badging station. Badges can be printed on the NexWatch Quadrakey, or any other ISO standard PVC credential. All data is stored in a single database resident on the StarGaze Security Management System. DEFINITIONS .......................................................... Access Code 1-18 Grouping of one or more readers and one or more time codes, indicating where and when entry is permitted.

System responses to events are called Transactions. The Transaction most frequently seen is Access Granted, which means a valid key was presented to a reader at an approved door, at an approved time, and that the cardholder was granted entry. There are over 100 Transactions that can occur in a typical system. They include Door Forced Open, Alarm Active, Device Reset OK and the like. Selected readers, input points, output points and devices may be grouped into zones to facilitate system control. For reporting purposes, zones may be grouped into areas. If zones are created, antipassback conditions may be assigned. StarGaze User Guide 1-21 1 INTRODUCTION Definitions 1-22 StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev.

Another feature of the StarGaze window functionality is the option to perform hyper-entry (described later in this chapter: Getting Around in StarGaze). Generally, hyper-entry allows you to double-click any item in a drop-down combo or list box to invoke a dialog for that item. For example, if you have the Cardholder window open and are about to select a Company, you can open the Company window just by double-clicking in the Company data field.

NOTE: Enter the date according to the format for your system, .............that is, either MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY - which is .............common in Europe. 4 Click OK to begin the search process; the sixth status field displays finding. The length of the search process depends upon the size of the data base. When the search completes, the system displays the first record found and shows the number of records found in the fifth status window (Record 1 of n). (If the system doesn’t find any records matching the search criteria, the message No Records Found is displayed.) 2-18 StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 Finding Data 5 .....

The Six Left and Right Arrow Symbols 6 Some database windows display more than one record at a time. See Cardholders (4 at a time) and Companies (6 at a time) for relevant examples. In those windows, the double arrows (Right and Left) will advance the table by the number of records displayed. 7 The extreme Left symbol (Arrow with bar) moves to the first record of the set. The extreme Right Arrow / Bar moves to the last (Highest numbered) record in the set. S ear ch i ng W it h Par ti al In f orm ati on You can find records using partial information. For example, • To find all cardholders whose last name begins with T, enter T in the Last Name field. The system also searches for several other criteria. For example, • You can use a comma (,) to search for data out of sequence. In addition, you can enter less than (<) and greater than (>) symbols to narrow a search. P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 StarGaze User Guide 2-19 2 GETTING AROUND IN STARGAZE Deleting Records • You can use a wildcard (*) to replace a character or group of characters in a search. This is useful if only partial information is available on which to search. • You can search a range of data by using the dash (-) character with numerical data. • The computer automatically changes to the update mode when a search completes, so that, if required, you can immediately update the records you select. • To start another search, click New Search to clear the screen and begin again. DELETING RECORDS .......................................................... It may be necessary to delete records from the database. The delete record function is easy to perform, although we advise using some cautions. • To remove a record from the database, click Delete. If the operation can be performed, the computer opens a window asking if you are sure. If you are sure, click Yes. The computer displays deleted. It may not be possible to delete records in some cases. For example, the system will not allow a Reader to be deleted without first deleting its associated Access Codes. • Display the Access Code records and delete the Reader data appearing on them, then delete the Reader record itself again. 2-20 StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev.

In StarGaze systems employing Anti-Passback, the system will automatically update the Zone location for the Cardholder in the database. The Zone DOES NOT CHANGE on the screen in realtime. The intent is that the moment you access a Cardholder’s record, the Cardholder’s present Zone will be displayed. You can enter a Zone other than the default (-1) at the time the Cardholder record is created. If the new Cardholder is physically in the personnel office which is inside a Passback Zone, then enter that Zone in the Cardholder record at the moment the record is created. Passback status will then be accurate for the Cardholder from that moment onward. P/N 6600050, Rev.

Downloaded Access Codes are created for each ACU and are downloaded (distributed) from the host. When a card is presented to a Reader, the ACU makes the access decision. A table of Access Codes will be created for each ACU depending on the access needs of various groups of Cardholders. Use when the host or local controller computer makes access decisions. An example is with global Anti-Passback, where in/out Readers may be connected to different ACUs. Host codes, as the name implies, depend upon the StarGaze Host to be in communication with the ACU. Host codes should be used only where absolutely necessary. Even then, they usually should be backed up with Downloaded codes flagged for the Cardholder as SFS (Smart Fail Soft), In addition, the following Smart Failsoft mode occurs when communication between the host and the ACU is interrupted for more than 16 seconds. Table of Access Code Entries–2 Smart Failsoft (SFS) The Smart Failsoft Access feature is used in a system where primary access decisions are made by the StarGaze Host.

You might want to have a special Alarm Transaction for a Fire Panel Aux relay called FIRE PANEL ACTIVE. It would still be defined as Transaction Type 92, but its Modifier could be “A”. At the Fire Panel Input only, you will put the modifier A in the Mod field. This will cause this Point to use the A modified Transaction while all others use the standard Transaction. Any other Transactions that occur at the Fire Panel Aux relay will use the normal, un-modified Transaction unless you create special A modified versions of them as well.

Even ts Use the Event / Task subsystem to program one or more Tasks to be automatically performed in response to the occurrence of a userdefined Event. Tasks and Events are linked, and you must enter and store the Task before the system allows the creation of a related Event. Multiple Events can initiate the same Task, or a Single event can initiate multiple Tasks. Events come in three types: Real Events: A Real Event is based on a Transaction that occurs within the StarGaze System. Logical examples include DOOR FORCED OPEN, KEY NOT IN MEMORY, ALARM ACTIVE, Etc. An example would be an Event of ALARM ACTIVE for a toxic gas detector causing unlocked doors to relock, a warning strobe to turn on and a StarGaze Project to be activated limiting access to members of the HazMat team. Time Code Events automatically perform both the Task you enter in the Activate field at the start of the Time Code and the Task you enter under the Deactivate code at the end of the Time Code. An example would be sending a MANUAL RELOCK command to all exterior doors at 21:00 in case anyone had left a door unlocked. One-Time Events are based upon a Date and Time entered in the appropriate fields. They occur only once, then expire until they are configured with new dates.

A Transaction exists for every Event that can possibly happen in a StarGaze system. This includes events generated by Access Control Units, OPTO 22 devices and all other field devices. These include events like ACCESS GRANTED, DEVICE COMM FAIL and AUTO-UNLOCK. Also included are events generated by StarGaze itself. Examples are DEVICE RESET OK, LOG FILE ALMOST FULL and POLLER STARTED. You can customize existing Transactions to change their color, text message, etc. This can facilitate understanding of various categories of events by system operators. If you customize an existing Transaction, then the new version will be used every time that specific event occurs, throughout the entire StarGaze system. You can create completely new, modified versions of any system Transaction (log message). These Modified Transactions are linked to a Point or Reader screens by a Transaction Modifier code (the A in the example below). The codes are any of the following: A - Z (uppercase) and 1 - 9, (with 0 as the default modifier for all standard transactions.) Up to 36 log messages can be associated with the same event. When a Modified Transaction is linked to a specific Point or Reader, only that point or Reader will use the Modified Transaction. All the rest will use the STANDARD Transaction (Modifier 0). The example below is for Transaction 17, DOOR FORCED OPEN. The Modified Transaction is still for the same event as indicated by the #17, but it has different characteristics. Its description is CRITICAL DOOR FORCED, it causes a continuous Beep and repeats itself in 5 minutes if not acknowledged by an operator. If you look at the Reader Time Code Tab as shown on Page 4-21, you will see the A Modifier in the Mod column next to the Time Code. This 4-66 StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev.

Tenants may be unrelated occupants of the same or different facilities who use a single StarGaze Security Management System to view and manipulate only that data which applies to them. One of the Tenants in a multiple Tenant application is the system owner who controls and has access to the entire system at all times. The systems owner may also be the system administrator. The default Tenant is 0 (ALL ENCOMPASSING), usually the system owner. The data is segregated between Tenants so that a specific Tenant User sees only his or her own data. P/N 6600050, Rev.

Draw Maps Combined Example 4-76 StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 Maps ..... ADDING/MODIFYING DEVICES The usual approach to making maps is to use an external graphics program (CAD, Visio, etc.) to draw floor plans of your facility, (or use existing floor plans previously drawn using the graphics package). The floor plans must be in a format that you can convert to a bit-mapped (.bmp) format. After the conversion to bitmaps, you will then import these bitmaps and use them as template or background material over which you will overlay the Draw Maps functional elements, lines, doors, points, alarms, etc. Future versions of StarGaze will expand the family of possible Map file backgrounds.

Z o n es (CHI P C on tro ll e r: S tar I I ) The Zones feature of the Star II Controller is much more powerful than the Building Modes feature used in previous ACUs, since each Star II ACU can control up to sixteen Zones. Each Zone can be individually controlled, so that some Zones could be in the Armed state, some could be Monitored, while other Zones could be Disarmed or even Shunted or Disabled. (A Disabled Zone totally ceases to ineract with the ACU.) (A Shunted Zone continues to receive inputs from the Zone, but only the Unshunt command is recognized.)

MONITORING SYSTEM ACTIVITY Bui l d i ng Mod es, R ead er Mod e s an d Zon e s—Fu r th er D isc u ssio n STAR I OR NEXSENTRY 4100 CONTROLLER A Star I or NexSentry 4100 Controller has six reader modes/types: (Normal–Closed– Open–Station–Elevator–continuous). This directly corresponds to the fact that, for the Star I or NexSentry 4100, there are only three building modes (Open–limited–Closed) which span only one ACU and all of the readers on that ACU. In a Star I or NexSentry 4100 Controller, Passback is handled via Entry and Exit readers, meaning that there are only two areas in a Star I and 4100, in or out. (There is also an “unknown” status, used for forgive.) Closing (or limiting) a building is also dependent on any monitor inputs that may have actions assigned to them that can prevent building Closure (or limiting). STAR II CONTROLLER The Star II Controller allows the building owner to logically divide the building into up to sixteen Zones, each Zone being an individual controlled entity, capable of being Armed or Disarmed, Shunted or Unshunted, Disabled, or Monitored. All of the items within the Zone: Input Points, Readers (especially Station readers), Door Relays, other Relays, etc., (being part of the Zone), directly affect the ability to Arm or Monitor the Zone, (unless an item itself is shunted). To Disable a Zone is to totally cease any ineraction of the ACU with the Zone. To Shunt a Zone is to continue to receive inputs from the Zone, but to issue no outputs or commands to the Zone (except the Unshunt command) as long as the Shunt condition remains active. The Star II Controller has six reader modes/types: (Normal–Armed– Disarmed–Station–Elevator–Continuous). Passback does operate P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 StarGaze User Guide 5-27 5 MONITORING SYSTEM ACTIVITY Supplementary Functions slightly differently in that it monitors the Zones, both personal and vehicular. (The Star II Zone feature replaces the Building Modes feature used in previous ACUs and is considerably more powerful, since each ACU can control up to 16 Zones.) Table of Star II Reader Zone Modes/Types ARMED Deny access to the Zone, except for a Privileged Cardholder at a Station Reader (or Closed-type Reader). The result of Privileged Cardholder access, at a Station-type Reader only, is to Disarm the Zone. (At a Closed-type Reader the Privileged Cardholder gains access but the Zone stays Armed.) DISARMED Allow access to personnel with valid Cards/Credentials, (Privileged or Non-Privileged). SHUNTED Continue to receive inputs from the Zone, but issue no outputs or commands to the Zone (except the Unshunt command) UNSHUNTED Shunting Negated. (Receive inputs from the Zone, issuing all outputs and commands to the Zone.) DISABLED Totally cease any ineraction of the ACU with the Zone. MONITORED Monitor the Zone by sensing changes of the status of monitor points within the Zone. Star II readers are usually part of a Zone. Because of this there are two parameters to consider. The first is the Entry Zone for the reader: that is the actual Zone where the reader resides. The other is the Exit Zone, which is the Zone the cardholder would be leaving when passing through the door. So, a Star II reader using Zones is 5-28 StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev. D 7/17/02 Supplementary Functions ..... MONITORING SYSTEM ACTIVITY always configured as an Entry reader. The Exit Zone in the reader will be compared with the last known Zone contained in the cardholder record and an access decision will be determined dependent on the Passback type being used, either “Hard” or “Soft.” When a Zone is Disarmed a Station reader behaves like a Normal reader, unless you wish to Arm the Zone. When Arming the Zone, a Station reader can be used either in conjunction with a keypad or with an Arming point and a Privileged card to change the Entry Zone on the Station reader from Disarmed to Armed. Arming is also dependent on any monitor inputs that may have actions assigned to them that can prevent Zone Arming. So, a Station reader will behave as a Normal reader for nonPrivileged cardholders when its Entry Zone is in a Disarmed state. A Privileged cardholder has the ability to either pass through the reader (treating it as a Normal reader when Disarmed) or to use the Station reader to Arm its Entry Zone. If the Station reader’s Entry Zone is in the Armed state then a nonPrivileged cardholder will not be granted access and will receive an Access Denied message, stating that the Zone is Armed. If a Privileged cardholder’s card is presented to a Station reader with an Armed Entry Zone, then it will Disarm the Entry Zone. The only way that a Privileged cardholder may enter into an Armed Zone is to use an Arm(ed) reader (or a Station reader in the Armed state). Only Privileged cardholders may gain access using an Arm(ed) reader when a Zone is in the Armed state, but the same Arm(ed) reader will act as a Normal reader for everyone (Privileged and NonPrivileged) if the Zone is Disarmed.

PROGRAM SECURITY LEVELS .......................................................... Cr eat i ng Pr ogr am S ec ur i ty Ent ry Leve l In StarGaze, the Program Security Level function controls the level of interaction that Operators may have with the StarGaze program.

D 7/17/02 StarGaze User Guide 6-7 6 USING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS Program Security Levels (NOTE: Operators’ capabilities in the MONITOR function are ..............separately controlled using Monitor Security Level in ..............addusers.) A typical system will use between 2 and 5 Security Levels for groups of Operators with different duties. You want to be careful not to give permissions that are too inclusive to lower level Operators who may be poorly trained and/or motivated. Inadvertent or malicious database changes can bring a perfectly-working system to its knees. StarGaze comes with 4 default Program Security Levels that meet the basic requirements of most systems. • Level 1, Complete System Access, is the highest, and should only be given to 2 or 3 System Administrators who have both training and experience necessary to handle the responsibility. It can perform all system functions that are not reserved for the addusers Login including all database and Security Management Reports. • Level 2, Security Supervisors, provides general access to things like Time Codes, Access Codes and Cardholders, but not to higher level functions like Transactions, Tasks, Events, etc. It also permits most Reports to be run. • Level 3, Security Guards, allows minimal database access and the ability to generate selected Reports. • Level 4, Monitor Only, allows no interaction with database entry or Report generation at all. Often, you can make minor modifications to an existing Security Level to get he permissions you need. Also, it is possible to use the 6-8 StarGaze User Guide P/N 6600050, Rev.

In the example screen – “Program Security Level Window” on page 6-10, you are seeing Level #2 of 23 (copied from a real customer’s system). The Inner Window actually contains and manages the program functions that are part of the Security Level. The example shows that there are 53 program elements available in Security Level #2. Each program element will be listed (in alphabetical order) with corresponding ADD, UPDATE, DELETE radio buttons. The YES/NO buttons only apply to any data entry function.

Once the door switch is toggled, a DOOR HELD OPEN message is generated if the door is not closed within the time defined in the door switch point record. Designed for high-traffic areas, this feature enhances the REX/Door switch functionality by providing a method to reset the door switch timer while the door is being held open. While employees continue to present valid cardholder credentials and to pass through the door (causing the REX point to continually change state), the door switch timer is reset each time to the number of seconds in the door switch point record, thus preventing a DOOR HELD OPEN message from being generated. (The message is generated if the time between cardholder credential presentation exceeds the time value in the record.) Enable or disable this feature during installation using the REXEXTEND parameter in the $DATAPATH/NPOLLER.x file, where x is the associated 708P poller number.
