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 30- to 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 ix

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.

Parameter Description

Boot Time Displays the time that power was applied to the NetAXS™ panel.

Reset Reboots the panel. A reset does not change the current configuration

in the database.

Anti-Passback

Enabled – Enables anti-passback, which prevents an entrant to an

area from passing his card back to another potential entrant.

Local – Enforces anti-passback only at doors configured locally to

the panel controlling the original card read.

Global – Enforces anti-passback at panels throughout the NetAXS™

system after a successful card read at any one of the system’s readers.

Forgiveness – Causes all system codes to be reset at midnight every

day. This enables a cardholder who exited the building in the evening without using his card to use his card for entry the following morning.

Gateway Panel Addr Sets the panel address of the Gateway panel, or the panel directly

connected to the host system.

Web Session Timeout Activates a web session timeout after the specified time period has

elapsed. Define the time period either in minutes or in hours. Enter the number in the box, then select either minutes or hours.

Hybrid Mode

Enabled – Implements a superior method of communication that

provides dynamic database synchronization between the NetAXS™ database and WIN-PAK SE Release 2 or WIN-PAK PE Release 2. It allows full web functionality while using a WIN-PAK SE Release 2 or WIN-PAK PE Release 2 as the host. When connected to WIN-PAK SE Release 2 or WIN-PAK PE Release 2 or later, WIN-PAK enables you to:

• approve changes made via the web interface.

• import those changes into the WIN-PAK database.

• disapprove those changes and revert the panel's configuration to the configuration stored in the WIN-PAK database.

Note: Consult your Honeywell Access Control representative for the latest list of Host software packages that support this feature.

Free Egress

Enabled – Configures the panel for free egress. Reader 1 activates

output 1, reader 2 activates output 2, reader 3 activates output 3, and reader 4 activates output 4. Inputs 1, 3, 5, and 7 are egress defaults that activate outputs 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Inputs 2, 4, 6, and 8 are status defaults for outputs 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.

Table 2-2: Configuration > System > General Tab Fields

Parameter Description

Duress Detect Enabled – Enables the user to trigger an alarm or output device in

times of duress, such as when the operator is forced to grant access against his will to an unauthorized person. This feature is available 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
