What's New?

What’s New in Secure Perfect

New in 6.1.1 ONLY:

Configure APB Status by Region: This feature allows you to configure APB readers across Regions or within a specific Region only. If configured across Regions, entering a Region activates the badge only in that region and disables the badge in all other Regions.

Micro Connection Type Network + Direct Communication: This is a new network configuration option selectable on the Micro Form, Micro Definition tab. This selection allows a micro that loses network connection to fail over to a serial connection. On the Micro Utility Form, a network micro normally displays an IP address in the Comm device column. When a network micro loses connection, the Alarm Monitor Form displays a Host Comm alarm. After approximately two minutes, the alarm resets and the serial connection begins communications. The Micro Utility Form Comm device column now displays the Comm port.

Micro Connection Type Network + Network: This is a new network configuration option selectable on the Micro Form, Micro Definition tab. This selection allows a micro that loses network connection to fail over to a secondary network connection. When a network micro loses connection, Alarm Monitor Form displays a Host Comm alarm. After approximately two minutes, the alarm resets and network communications begin. The Micro Utility Form Comm device column now displays the backup IP address or network name, as assigned on the Micro Form, Port Settings tab.

Alarm Graphics Viewer Window is a Separate Application: The window launches independently from

the Secure Perfect application and can be moved outside of the Secure Perfect window area. This is useful for dual-display monitors or wide monitor display.

Suspend Badge After Invalid PIN Attempts: This option is configured on the Reader tab of the Reader Form. Select Max Invalid PIN Count and enter a number between 1 and 6 as the number of times an invalid PIN can be entered at a reader before the badge is suspended. If the badge is suspended, the badge must be reset to Active by a system administrator.

DVR Search - Play Single Recorded Frame: The Search Results windowpane in DVR Search returns a list of recorded video event tags based on the search parameter criteria specified. Select an event tag from the list and right-click to display a shortcut menu. The shortcut menu has been expanded to include

Play Single Recorded Frame. When selected, a single image displays in the video window. This is the

first frame of the event recording displayed as a still photo. To play the rest of the video clip, unpause the video on the DVR Viewer.

Two New Micro Types: MicroPXNPlus or MicroPXNPlus 2000 are selectable on the Micro Form, Micro

Definition tab. A board provides direct, dial-up, and network capabilities in one board. The network

supports Ethernet only. The board also has an integrated modem option which means that the modem is a chip that can be ordered with the board or added at a later date. This modem can also be used as dialup fallback to a network board. Both boards support the following reader boards, 2RP, 2SRP, 8RP, and CK8RP. The boards provide nonvolatile storage that provides faster reset recovery and allows hostless operation. A new Web Integrated Configuration Tool was created for flashing these micro types, eliminating the need to install Flashtool on each computer in order to download and flash the micros.

Database Connection: This feature is configured on the Parameter Form, Settings tab. This feature allows you to configure the amount of time that elapes before your Secure Perfect system retries the connection and considers that the database is not accessable.

• Timeout (sec): The default is 30 seconds. The minimum is 3 seconds; the maximum is 120 seconds.

1) In a Secure Perfect Global Edition configuration, this is the amount of time until a Regional failover begins. 2) In a typical Secure Perfect configuration, this is the amount of time before Secure Perfect transactions are saved, Secure Perfect services shut down, and a message advises you to repair your database.

• Retry: The default is 3 retries. The minimum is ‘0’; the maximum is 5 retries.

Secure Perfect 6.1.1 User Manual 14

Enable ‘Valid No Passage’: This option is configured on the Reader Form, Reader tab. Select this checkbox if you want your Secure Perfect system to notify you when a valid badge read occurs but the door did not open within the configured sense time. This may be an indication of a duress situation, someone deciding not to pass through the door, or an accidental read as someone passes a reader.

• This feature must be associated with an alarm type of door forced or door held in order to be notified

of a change in state of the door.

• In order to notify of a duress situation, Grant Access on Duress must be configured.

New in 6.1:

Guard Tour:

This feature makes use of two new forms in Secure Perfect, Guard Tours and Tour Point. A Guard Tour is an inspection of your facility premises, by a security guard. The officer stops at pre-determined tour points along the way, where a digital input (DI) is triggered or a badge is presented to a reader so that the Secure Perfect system can track the tour progress. Each time a badge is presented to a reader, a tour point is ‘hit.’ DIs can also be assigned as tour points. An additional tab has been added to the Manual

Control form. The Guard Tour tab of the Manual Control form displays the status of Guard Tours

configured in your Secure Perfect system. Select a Guard Tour to display tour details and tour points. An occasion may arise that requires a tour to be started, paused, resumed, or stopped manually. This feature and related forms are not available for input if you are not licensed for Guard Tour.

Global Edition Enhancements:

• Database Server and Fileserver Redundancy: Global Editions systems can be configured for

database redundancy, at the Region level. A Regional Database Server can be configured to have backup servers. Refer to the Backup Regions tab of the Region Form. If a client is not able to connect to its Regional Database Server for any reason, it fails over to the backup Regional Server.

Regional database redundancy and fileserver redundancy operate independently. One or the other, or both can fail at the same time, whether they reside on the same server computer or are configured to reside on separate computers.

• Client Region Failover: If you have Region backups configured, all clients in that region, by default,

will fail over to the backup Region when the system detects that it cannot access the database. You might choose to clear this checkbox on the Client tab of the Client form, to prevent nonessential client failover and keep extra traffic on your system network to a minimum.

Alarms:

• Alarm Bumping and Routing: The Client Group Form allow you to assign Secure Perfect computers

into logical Client Groups. Then, Alarms can be routed to these Client Groups by time schedule or at all times. Additionally, alarms can be ‘bumped’ (forwarded) to one or more additional Client Groups when alarms are unacknowledged and unpurged within configured time limits.

• Alarm Graphics Enhancements: Alarm Graphics can now be configured for digital inputs and digital

outputs. The Alarm Graphics Viewer displays active status. Right-click menu options display newly enhanced functionality. Operators for the Alarm Graphics Viewer must be assigned ‘Update’ and facility permissions in order to select right-click menu options. For shortcut menu functionality, rest your mouse pointer on an assigned point and right-click. The shortcut menu that displays with a rightclick mouse button depends on the Point Type assigned to the point. The options allow manual control of doors.

• Duress: This selection determines whether the door will open when a duress PIN code (with the final

digit incremented by + 1) is entered with a valid badge. This feature is configured for your Secure Perfect system on the Parameters Form, Settings Tab.

Event Trigger Updates:

Assigning Intrusion Zones to an Event Trigger: The Intrusion Zone tab on the Event Trigger form

allows you to assign Intrusion Zones and Intrusion Zone transaction type(s) that will trigger an event.

Extended Unlock Time Options:

Extended unlock time is enabled on the Personnel Tab of the Person Form. When this option is selected, enabled badges associated with a Person record allow extra time to gain access to an entry or exit point. Extended times (in minutes and seconds) are configured and assigned on the Door Functions tab of the

Reader Form. For example, if a door is used by disabled persons or the reader is mounted at a distance

from the door, a longer unlock time may be required to exit or enter.

Secure Perfect 6.1.1 User Manual 15

Real-Time Digital Output Status:

Digital output status is reflected in real-time updates on the Alarm Graphics Viewer if this option is selected on the Micro Definition tab of the Micro Form.

UL Certification:

Secure Perfect is a UL-listed Grade A system (UL 1076 Grade A Proprietary Burglary Requirements/UL 294 Access Control Requirements). Your installation must adhere to the requirements listed in the Certification section of the Secure Perfect Installation Manual, in order to qualify as UL-listed Grade A certified.

Badging:

• Designer Upgrade: The integrated Badge Designer program is an upgraded version with many new

features. On the Secure Perfect Badge Design Form, click Edit Badge Design to display a new windowpane. This is a separate program with its own toolbar. If you had a previous version of badge designer that created files with a .gdr extension, you will be prompted to save the file as a .dgn when you edit a badge design for the first time. Access the extensive Online Help system from the Badge Designer toolbar. Additionally, refer to the Badge Designer User Manual, and review the "What’s New" section. A PDF of the manual is provided on your documentation CD.

• Badge Format: This option on the Administration menu allows an operator to design, import, or export

custom badge formats for your Secure Perfect system. Custom magnetic stripe or Wiegand formats can be loaded and stored in the Secure Perfect database. After identifying the required custom format, the format is flashed to the micro. A new tab on the Micro Flash and Micro Parameter Configuration window allows you to configure custom badge formats.

Auto Shutdown of Secure Perfect Services:

This is a default option on the Client tab of the Client form. If selected, Secure Perfect Services will automatically shut down when the client application is closed. A list of prerequisite criteria must be met.

Manual Control Form:

• Shortcut from Client Monitor Form to Manual Control Form: This feature allows the current operator to

quickly locate a client, right-click and select the Manual Control form, and manually perform operations of the Secure Perfect system.

• Mode Tab on the Manual Control Form: This feature allows the operator to select all or individual

micros or clients for immediate change of mode from the Manual Control Form, on the new Mode Tab. The micro’s current real-time mode and address are also displayed.

Report Generation Upgrades:

• Guard Tour History Report: This option on the Administration menu allows you to generate a report of

completed Guard Tours, displaying tour activities such as start points, hits, invalid points, pauses, resumes, tour end points, tour time exceeded, manual start, and manual stops.

• Administration Report: The list of report types has been expanded to include details of Alarm Routing

and Bumping configurations and Badge Format (UBF) custom badge configurations.

Activity Monitor

The Activity Monitor displays badge and intrusion zone transactions on the system’s readers. Once you configure your readers, this is a way to verify that the configuration is correct and that the readers work as you expect. Before the Activity Monitor can display badge transactions for a reader, the reader MUST be marked as Active and Online and the activity for the reader MUST be routed to the Activity Monitor. By default, routing for all transactions is set to the Activity Monitor.

Intrusion Zone activity is based on reader, Digital Inputs, or manual control transactions within assigned Intrusion Zones. Arm, disarm, or fail activity is displayed for activity within that Intrusion Zone.

In a system using database partitioning (facilities), the Activity Monitor Form will display activity based on the reader’s facility regardless of the person’s facility assignment.

This form allows you to create a graphical view of alarm states for the alarms you select. In general, you import a map drawn as a Windows MetaFile (.wmf or .emf) and place alarm points on the map. A single file may be imported multiple times. An alarm may be placed on multiple maps and each point on the map may contain multiple alarms.
