CHAPTER 5

5. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE

This chapter outline the basic steps involved in configuring the SMARTGUARD CS Client software.

5.1 Controller/Door Setting

User is required to configure the CASTLE controller setting according to the system requirement. This setting includes,

• Controller and door logical address. (Tag name)

• Physical address of the controller.

• Each door opens time.

• Each door release time.

• Each door closes time.

• Emergency pin number.

• Time zone.

5.2 Time Set, Time Zone, Holiday List, Door Accessibility and Floor Accessibility

The user is required to specify the timer sets, time zone sets and national holiday sets. This process must be carried out before any user card configuration take place, because the

SMARTGUARD Pro software uses all these information to control the card user door accessibility and floor accessibility in a premises. The SMARTGUARD Pro software will enable the user to define maximum 98 sets of user configurable setting. Besides that, SMARTGUARD

Pro software also pre-assigned with two settings which are Free access to all doors and No access to all doors access level and all floor access level.

5.3 Card Holder Configuration

The card holder information must be installed into the SMARTGUARD CS software database before he/she can use the card to access the door. The assigned card information is required to download to CASTLE controller. The user can configure each card user with different access privilege by assigning various type of access level, where the user is required to define it at the Door Accessibility Entry. Further more, the SMARTGURAD CS Client software can also allow the user to assign the validity period of a card.

5.4 Down Loading

After performing all the above steps, the user is required to download the configured data to

CASTLE controller. Failure on downloading process will not guarantee the correctness and accuracy of the SMARTGUARD door access operation. Beside that, the user is advised to print out the configuration setting into hardcopy form or backup the setting data into backing storage media, this is to provide a safe guard on the data entries. In the case of data corruption happened at the SMARTGUARD PC, the user can always restore back the original configuration setting. The downloading function must be executed with extra caution, because the send data will overwritten CASTLE controller existing information, therefore the user should print out all the new entered setting to verify before issued a download command.

SmartGuard CS Client/Server User Manual

5.5 How Door Access Work

Upon completing all above settings, we assume the user will use a card to grant an access to a door. Does anyone know how CASTLE controller react upon received the card information?

Let us explain some of the basic condition checking takes place at CASTLE door controller.

First of all, CASTLE controller will verify the current state of the door, if the door is in security off or lock release condition then no card verification will be needed because the door is already opened. Else, CASTLE controller will verify the facility code that contained in the card against the SMARTGUARD facility code setting. If a different code presented, the door entry will be denied. This is because the swiped card is belonging to another installation.

Next, CASTLE controller will search from the card table for the existence of the swiped card, a search not found result indicate an invalid entry. The basic requirement to grant a door accesses only happen if the swiped card was presented in CASTLE controller card table.

The searched record will be used to further decide on the validity of the swiped card.

CASTLE controller will check the current door setting, if the setting is being assigned to accept pin number, then a 4-digit pin is expected to be input. The inputted pin number will be compared with SMARTGUARD CS card recorded pin number. A discrepancy on the pin number will deny the entry.

If Card Lock Out setting is on. CASTLE controller will examine the swiped card lock out status. A lock out swiped cardholder should not be allowed to access the door.

On the other hand when an Anti Pass Back mode is on. CASTLE controller will further examine the swiped card anti pass back status to confirm the swiped has not entered to this location before. A previously entered card is not allow to re-enter under anti pass back setting unless the cardholder has swiped out from the entered door.

The expiry date of the card and door accessibility will be checked as well, CASTLE controller will always make sure an old swiped card must be filtered out from accessing the door.

Lastly, CASTLE controller will reference the door accessibility setting of the swiped card to confirm whether the card user is permitted to enter this door. If the checking is clear than the user will be granted a door access.

- Facility Code

The purpose of having this code is to distinguish the user card from one installation with another.
