What’s New in Release 3.1.8

Dynamic Screens and Performance Enhancements

Dynamic screens are screens that can refresh data without re-submitting. In the Honeywell NetAXS™ panel, there is now a persistent connection between the web screens and the panel. This allows status updates from the panel to be pushed out to the screens automatically to display the data seamlessly on the screen.

In addition to the dynamic screens, other panel-side enhancements have been made that improve screen performance. Now the web server detects when panels of a loop come online faster. In the past, there was a 30to 45-second delay during which a panel could be online before the web would detect it. Data transfer between the panel and web browsers has been optimized to reduce bandwidth requirements and improve screen response times overall.

Multi-language Support

Multi-language support consists of “language files” installed with the firmware or imported to a panel. A language selection is available on a per-user basis. The language files are available by upload from the panel or from the Honeywell website. You can customize the upload.

There are options to import, export, or delete the language files from a panel. During upgrades, the language files with default names are replaced by those included with the firmware, so we recommend that customizations be saved and imported with a different filename than any present after upgrade. After toggling firmware sets, some phrases may change or appear in English until the language file(s) matching the active firmware version are imported, or the next upgrade is completed.

NetAXS™ Access Control Unit User’s Guide, Document 800-04410, Revision A

CSV Reports and Card Upgrade

CSV Reports and Card Upgrade

A requested feature was added to the NetAXS™ panel to support card holder updates and additions to the database via a CSV (comma separated variable) file. In order to support this, a CSV report is first created via a request from the web page. This report can be edited directly or loaded into a spreadsheet to be edited. If loaded into a spreadsheet, the file can be saved in CSV format. The modified CSV file can then be downloaded to the gateway and loop panels.

Also, an option is provided to either replace or append the card database. Replacing the database deletes the existing card database, and appending the existing database adds new cards and updates to existing cards, if needed. This file is downloaded first to the gateway panel, and then automatically to each downstream panel. The file is sent to the downstream panel as a background process that allows other web screens to continue to operate. Note that the panels will not need to reboot after the file is downloaded.

Reverse IP

Reverse IP is implemented in the NetAXS™ panel to function with the WIN-PAK CS Reverse IP communication setting. This allows the panel to exist behind a firewall while communication to WIN-PAK CS is conducted on a pre-set port. This allows the NetAXS™ panel to be on a DHCP network. Reverse IP connections are currently limited to one NetAXS™ panel per WIN-PAK CS port. The NetAXS™ panel does not currently support encrypted reverse IP communication.

2.2 Configuring the System

2.2.1 Host/Loop Communications Tab

In order to maintain your NetAXS™ system configuration or to monitor its status, you must connect to the NetAXS™ panel by using one of two modes:

•Host mode (monitor only) – a host software system, such as WIN-PAK™, connects to the panel (through the NetAXS™ gateway panel, which has an on-board PCI communications adapter), and it enables you to monitor the status of the NetAXS™ system. The on-board PCI adapter functions as an interface between a host computer’s RS-232 port and one or more panels connected on the Multidrop line.

•Web mode (configure and monitor) – the NetAXS™ web server connects to the panel and enables you to configure the panel and monitor system status.

This tab enables you to select and configure the communication mode you will use to connect to the panel.

Note: A Gateway panel installed with release 3.1.8 or newer of NetAXS™ firmware cannot communicate fully with previous versions of NetAXS™ that may be installed on existing panels. If your panels are running release 2 (v2.2.21 or older), they must be upgraded to release 3.

	only when the reader is configured with a “Card and Pin” access
	mode (see Reader Tab, page 31).
	When this feature is enabled, you can configure an auxiliary output
	with a pulse time and connect it to a device with an interlock (see
	“Outputs Tab“ on page 55 for the output configuration).
	During normal operation, the duress output does nothing. To energize
	the output, the cardholder presents his card to a reader that is
	configured for Card and PIN access (see “Reader Tab“ on page 31).
	The cardholder then enters a PIN that is either one number higher or
	one number lower than his correct PIN. For example, if his PIN is
	2222, the cardholder would enter either 2221 or 2223. Even though
	the PIN is incorrect, the door will still open normally, but the duress
	output pulses and an alarm is generated. In this way, the cardholder
	notifies others without detection by the unauthorized person.
Continuous Card Reads	Enabled – Enables continuous card reading while the output is being
	energized. When this option is not enabled, a reader will not be able
	to read a second card during the pulsing of the output caused by the
	previous card read.
Reader LEDs	Identifies the color of a reader LED when a grant is authorized.
Cardholder Note 1	Specifies any information field you might want to put on a card. For
	example, if you enter “Department” here, a field labeled
	“Department” appears on the card. The user who creates the card
	would then enter the cardholder’s department name. See Adding
	New Cards, page 47.
Cardholder Note 2	Specifies any information field you might want to put on a card. For
	example, if you enter “Phone Number” here, a field labeled “Phone
	Number” appears on the card. The user who creates the card would
	then enter the cardholder’s telephone number. See Adding New
	Cards, page 47.

•Card and common configuration data—uploads cards, time zones, card formats, holidays, access levels, and site codes in a .CSV file.

•Panel configuration data—uploads inputs, outputs, groups, interlocks, readers, and panel configuration in a .CSV file.

•Card, common, and panel configuration data—uploads both the card and panel configuration items in a .CSV file.

•Card report (short)—uploads the Card Number, Last Name, First Name, Trace, VIP, Limited Use, Card Expiration, Temporary, Supervisor, and Access Level card values in a

.CSV file.

•Card report (long)—uploads the Card Number, Last Name, First Name, Trace, VIP, Limited Use, Card Expiration, Temporary, Supervisor, Access Levels, Site Codes, Number of Bits, Pin, Info 1, Info 2, Time Zones, Activation Date, Issue Level, APB State, and Control Device card values in a .CSV file.

•Alarms and events report—uploads the Date, Time, Event Type, Acknowledged Date, Acknowledged Time, and Message of Alarms/Events for alarms and events in a .CSV file.

•Language: English default, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Czech, and simplified Chinese. This is a text file that uploads a language package that translates the text on all of the web screens for a user who has specified a language preference.

2.Click Upload to upload the data to the host PC or laptop. Follow the instructions to save a backup file on your PC. Be sure to give the backup file a useful name for easy identification and restoring.
