Introduction

Introduction to DNA Fusion

DNA Fusion™ is built using the very latest technology in software development by Microsoft®. DNA Fusion is designed for the extended enterprise taking full advantage of the Distributed Network Architecture model, which allows for total flexibility and control.

DNA Fusion proves to revolutionize the access control industry by removing many of the limitations to enterprise deployment inherent in the typical access control application.

DNA Fusion is designed with 100% InfoReady architecture. This means that your information is always right at your fingertips, eliminating the need to run a report or several reports to get the data you need.

What is DNA Fusion?

● DNA Fusion™ is a Windows 32-bit application that is built on Microsoft’s Distributed InterNetwork

Architecture platform to deliver complete enterprise wide solutions.

● DNA Fusion provides full network connectivity of clients and SSP controller’s via TCP/IP. Server and client applications are intranet/Internet enabled.

● DNA Fusion contains an advanced graphical user interface (GUI) utilizing standard Windows conventions. Dockable toolbars and user configuration of the software environment allow for rich, fully customizable workstations tailored to the individual needs of the user.

● DNA Fusion is designed to work in conjunction with a common access control processor and delivers seamless integration to a variety of CCTV and other access control devices.

DNA Advantages

● Multi-Document Interface - DNA Fusion allows for multiple windows to be open at once. You can also arrange the windows and toolbars.

● Drag & Drop Functionality - The multi-document interface allows for drag and drop functions that greatly simplify and improve the way things get done.

● Personnel Groups - Create logical groups for personnel.

● Dynamic Event Filters - Filter events by specific criteria and then toggle back to all events.

● Advanced Alarm Handling - DNA streamlines the alarm handling process by providing a counter on multiple alarms from the same point. Multiple alarms can be acknowledged and cleared with a single keystroke.

System Configuration Overview

DNA Fusion is built using Windows standard and tools, and uses DCOM to support communication among software objects on different computers as well as TCP/IP for communication between the driver and the host. The very nature of an access control software platform demands that a certain amount of network security is inherent in the application and, as a result, DNA has certain network requirements that must be met for successful deployment on the customer’s network.

DCOM

DNA utilizes a Microsoft architecture known as DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) as the main communication infrastructure in the client/server environment. The DCOM model provides improved network bandwidth utilization, allows communication across multiple network protocols, and is inherently secure using the extensible security framework of Windows NT.

TCP/IP

TCP/IP is used to support communication between the driver and the host. TCP/IP uses the client/server model of communication.

Services

After DNA has been installed, there are certain utility programs called services, that are necessary for DNA

Fusion to operate properly. Typically these services are installed only on the server workstation.

However, in a system that is configured for a client/server relationship, the services would typically reside on the machine designated as the server. Although, it is possible that each service may reside on a different designated server from the others.

Fusion User Manual Page 1-3

Introduction

DNA typically utilizes three services: the driver service, the DNAAgent service and the SQL Server service.

The driver service, referred to as the DNA Driver, is run by the DNADRVR32.exe application. It runs as a

Windows service and acts as a communications nexus for the DNA Fusion application. The driver communicates with controllers in the field to collect event information and transmit configuration data regarding cardholders and field hardware. Event data collected from the field controllers is stored in the database via DNA Fusion

COM objects.

Event data is also transmitted to each subscribed client allowing “live” event data to display on the client’s event grid. Clients can view the configuration data and send changes to the driver to be transmitted to the appropriate field hardware assuming that the requesting DNA operator has sufficient privileges.

The DNAAgent service is started when a client opens. If the driver service is not running, the DNAAgent will automatically start the driver service.

The SQL Server service is used to communicate to the database. There is one SQL Server service for each instance of SQL server running on the computer.

Introduction

Requirements & Specifications

The following requirements and specifications are meant to serve as a baseline and do not take into account all the variables of a system. They are subject to change without notice.

Installation Types

There are two types of installation covered in this chapter:

● Server - The PC that will host the DNA Fusion database and run the DNA driver.

‡

The Servers role may be separated into: a Database Server & an Application Server.

● Client - A PC that is connected to the DNA system via the LAN/WAN but retrieves and saves data to and from the DNA server.

Each installation has its own requirements, specifications, and tasks.

Network Requirements for DNA

DNA has certain network requirements that must be met for successful deployment in the client/server environment.

Any of the following network scenarios are acceptable for this operation:

● All DNA computers (servers and client workstations) MUST be members of the same Windows domain regardless of what other applications are operating on the domain.

● All DNA computers are members of a dedicated Windows domain.

● DNA computers can be members on different Windows domains, but each domain MUST have an established bi-directional trust in place.

● DNA computers can be members on different Windows domains, but each domain MUST be managed under Windows Active Directory Service or a master domain.

● All DNA computers are members of a single dedicated workgroup without a Windows domain. A few things to consider with this option are:

‡

The absence of domain authentication requires that all passwords and users are managed at each individual PC in the DNA workgroup.

‡

If SQL Server is being used for data storage, all passwords will be required to be managed at the

SQL Server level.

Server Specifications

The DNA server in this instance refers to the PC that will host your DNA database.

Operator Features

Importing Operators

Custom Personnel Permissions

Operator SSP Lists

System operators generally have different roles in the management and monitoring of the security software application. Therefore it only makes sense to limit these operators to the tasks that they will be performing within the system. Operators can be imported from Active Directory and automatically assigned a profile.

DNA is designed to accommodate a range of different levels of application access by use of Operator Levels, passwords and assigned privileges by Operator Profiles. This chapter will show you how to add and modify system operators, configure different operator profiles, and associate privileges to those operators.

Configuring Operators

Adding an Operator

1. Select DNA / Administrative / Operator Maintenance / Operator Privileges from the Main Menu.

Or

Open the Operator Browser and double click the Operators option.

See page 4-21 for more information on opening the Operator Browser.

2. Select the desired Operator Profile from the drop down list.

3.

Expand each item in the menu and configure the profiles specific privileges.

See page 4-9 for an explanation of operator privileges.

The Privileges section is where the administrator can configure the various operator permissions to determine what the operator can and cannot do within the system.

The Privileges section consists of main categories and subcategories. Each item in the privileges tree has a Edit Properties option as well as various command/task options. If a command/task is checked, that option will be available for any operator(s) assigned the profile.

Main Category

4.

Expand the Station Levels header and select the Station Levels for this operator.

The DNA Administrator has the authority to assign the station levels for the Operators

Profile. This setting determines which stations the operator has permission to log on to.

If the station is checked the operator will be authorized to use any stations configured with the station level as defined by the DNA Station Level setting in the Host Setting /

Station Settings dialog. See page 3-2 for more information.

5.

Expand the Operator Settings header.

It is important to configure the Operator Settings. These settings are a series of operator parameters that are defined within the Privileges panel along with the operator’s privileges.

In This Chapter

Adding Time Schedules & Time Sets

Controlling Time Schedules

Adding Holidays & Holiday Sets

Schedules are a fundamental building block for DNA. Schedules are pre-determined time blocks that can be used for controlling access and automated operations.

Time schedules can be linked to access levels to regulate at what time a cardholder is allowed to access a particular door(s). They may also be used in conjunction with triggers to initiate predefined system actions

(macros). When associated to time schedules, certain devices will change behaviour based on different times of the day/week.

A holiday can be linked to a time schedule allowing for exceptions to the normal schedule. For example, a schedule that is applied to a door would contain an exception for observed holidays so that the door would not unlock on holidays.

Time Schedules

Time schedules are defined time ranges and associated days of the week that are stored in the SSP controller for access control. A time schedule consists of up to 12 time intervals. Each interval consists of a begin and end time as well as an option to associate holidays with the schedule.

Each SSP Controller, by default, will store up to 255 time schedules. All time schedules are stored remotely at the SSP once downloaded (along with personnel information and access levels).

Adding a Time Schedule

1. Click the

Time Schedules button on the Standard Toolbar.

The Time Schedules Browser opens.

2. Right-click in the

Time Schedule Browser and select New Time

Schedule.

The

Time Intervals dialog box appears.

If the schedule was added to a time schedule set, the set name will be displayed. See page 5-7 for information on sets.

3. Select a

Schedule Number from the drop-down list.

Each time schedule is designated with a time schedule number.

When adding a new time schedule, the system automatically assigns the next available time schedule number.

4. Select a Mode from the drop-down list.

● Off - The time schedule is inactive. No access will be granted.

● On - This setting activates the time schedule 24/7 regardless of the days and times specified. Access will be granted regardless of the time scheduled.

● Scan - (Default) This is the standard setting. The system continually checks to see which time schedules are to be activated, and then activates them. Access will be granted per the scheduled time interval.

Time & Holiday Schedules

5. Type a

Description for the time schedule.

Typically, this description should give the user an idea of what range of times the schedule addresses or the schedules purpose, i.e., Working Hrs 8a-5p or Front Door Unlock Schedule.

6. If desired, select a

Template to apply to the new time schedule.

7. Configure the time schedule intervals.

Each time schedule is made up of a possible twelve intervals. An interval consists of a Begin and End

Time along with the days of the week that this time schedule will be active and a place to determine if the schedule will be active during defined holidays. A time schedule must have at least one interval defined in order for it to be valid.

There are two methods to creating a time schedule interval.

● Manual Entry - Click the Tables button at the bottom-right corner of the dialog box. Enter the

Begin and End Times using military time designations (00:00-23:59) in the fields for the appropriate interval. Assign the time interval to given days of the week by checking the desired weekday box(es).

This method provides a more accurate method of entry.

The last box for each interval is labeled

H and, when checked, will activate the time schedule for the specified time range on days that have been defined as Holidays.

● Graphical Entry - Create the first interval by placing your mouse pointer below the appropriate day of the week at the Begin time. Click and drag the control downward to the end time. A tooltip will show the time range and number of hours between the begin and end times.

If a time schedule needs to span midnight, you will need to end at 11:59 p.m. and begin the next day at 12:00 a.m. This will provide seamless coverage.

8. If time was entered in the Holiday (H) column, select the Holiday Types to associate with the time schedule.

Verify that you have associated a time range to the Holiday by entering a time range in the

HOL/H field. See page 5-9 for more information on Holiday Types.

A NOTE ABOUT HOLIDAYS: If holidays are entered in the system, DNA will treat those days differently and will check the HOL/H column for the time schedule on designated holidays. If there is time in the column, the schedule will become active on holidays

(if assigned to an access level, access will be granted and doors will unlock if based on the time schedule). If there is no time in the column, the schedule will stay inactive during the holiday (if assigned to an access level, no access will be granted and doors will not unlock if based on the time schedule).

9. Click

Save to save the new time schedule.

10. Download all the time schedules to the SSP by right-clicking in the Time Schedules explorer and

selecting Download from the context menu.

Once the time schedules have been configured for the system, they must be downloaded to the SSP controllers for them to take effect. This can be done for all defined time schedules as described above or for individual schedules.

To download individual time schedules, expand the tree in the time schedule browser so that all available time schedules are shown; select the time schedule you wish to download. Right-click and select

Download from the context menu.

Time schedules may be controlled at the host once they have been downloaded to the controller(s).

Time & Holiday Schedules

Holidays

Up to 255 different holidays can be established within the DNA Fusion system. When a day is specified as a holiday, it is treated differently by the system than a regular day (M-Su). Holidays are defined by the date and duration of the holiday as well as there assigned type.

Often times users create holidays because their facility runs on an entirely different schedule during these days. For example, if a manufacturing plant is closed on Thanksgiving day, the manager does not want the front doors to unlock as they do during regular business hours. Therefore he would establish Thanksgiving day as a holiday and simply not indicate any time in the Holiday column in the unlock time schedule.

How do Holidays & Time Schedules Work

Holidays and Time Schedules share a special relationship. At Midnight, the system checks to see if that day is designated as a holiday. If it is, the system checks the Time Schedules to see which schedules have

Holiday time. If a Time Schedule has time in the Holiday column, the system verifies that the Holiday Type(s) checked for that Time Schedule correspond with the Holiday’s Type. If it does, that Time will become active based upon the time interval in the Holiday column.

Adding a Holiday

1. Select the

Holidays tab in the Time Schedules explorer.

Click the + sign to expand the Holiday header.

Access Level Options

Creating Access Level Groups

Access Levels are defined as an entry point (such as a door or elevator) and an associated time schedule or floor group that when added to a card record determines where and when the cardholder has access within the system.

Access Levels can be added to individual cards or groups of cards in the system. Each card can be assigned

32 access levels per each SSP controller in the system. This section shows you how to create and remove access levels.

See page 7-21 for information on assigning access levels to a cardholder.

Access Levels

An access level is created at the SSP level since doors and elevators are designated to a particular SSP.

Access Level Groups are then created to group the access levels from multiple SSPs together for easy of distribution to cardholders.

The are 4 different types of access levels that can be created.

● Basic Door Access Level - The simplest access level; includes a door and a time schedule to determine access.

● Basic Elevator Access Level - Controls access to elevators. Doors can be added to this type of access level to control access to doors as well as elevators.

● Escort Required Access Level - Requires at least 2 access levels: the escort and the escort required.

The cardholder with the Escort Requirement must have a cardholder that is assigned the Escort

Access Level badge after them in order to gain access.

● Auto Expiring Access Level - Allows for the assignment of an Activation and Deactivation Date. The

Access Level will automatically activate and deactivate based upon the dates. NOTE: Can be used in conjunction with an Escort Requirement setting.

Prior to adding an access level, at least one entry point (door or elevator, see page

8-47) and one time schedule (see page 5-1) must be created.

Precision Access Levels

Precision Access Levels allows the system user to assign the cardholder doors instead of an actual Access

Level as described on pages 6-3 and 6-4. There are couple of drawbacks when using Precision Access Levels: it requires memory be allocated on a per door/elevator basis and it is harder to track where cardholders have access.

Setting Up Precision Access Levels

Before Precision Access Levels can be assigned they must be setup in the Controller.

1. Open the Properties for the desired SSP by right-clicking on the object and selecting Properties.

The Controller Properties dialog opens.

2. Select the Stored Quantities option from the menu.

3. In the Quantities section, set the Precision Access Levels number equal to the ACM number of last door and/or elevator that will be allocated to cardholders.

Example: If there are 15 doors and 5 elevators in the system and only doors 1-10 will be assigned via

Precision Access Levels, the setting would be 10. If there are 10 doors and 10 elevators in the system and doors 1 and 5 and elevators 10 and 20 will be assigned via Precision Access Levels, the setting would be 20 since ACM number 20 is included in the scheme.

4. Click OK to save the changes.

The DNA Memory Requirement dialog will appear.

5. Click Yes to change the memory configuration.

The SSP will perform a Reset in order to apply the new configuration. A Reset causes the controller to lose communication and a full download takes place upon the reestablishment of the connection.

Assigning Precision Access Levels

1. Open the Hardware Browser and expand the Doors object.

2. Open the Cardholder’s Record and select the Card tab.

3. Drag and drop the desired ACM (door or elevator) to the Access Levels section of the Card tab.

The Select Time Schedule and/or Floor Groups dialog will appear.

4. If the ACM is a door, select a Time Schedule from the drop down list.

Or

If the ACM is an elevator, select a Floor Group from the drop down list.

5. Right-click in the gray area of the Cardholder’s Record and select Update from the menu.

The ACM is added to the Access Level section and appears with a Door icon to indicate that it is a

Precision Access Level.

The Door Mode Override feature can be used to override the mode on a door for a given amount of time. The selected mode is used during the specfied temporary time and the door’s normal mode is maintained. Once the temporary time expires, the door will revert back to the normal door mode.

Example: The door is set up to be temporarily locked for 5 minutes. If an event happens that would typically change the door mode to its Normal state (such as a time schedule becoming active), the door would not change to the new mode until the 5 minutes has passed.

There are three possible settings for the Door Override Mode:

● Indefinite - Overrides the door’s normal mode and sets the reader to the specified mode permentantly.

● Number of Minutes - Sets the door mode on the selected door for the indicated amount of time. The number of minutes can be up to 16383

(over 11 days).

● Absolute Time - The Absolute Time option allows the operator to change the door mode until a specified ending time, in hours/minutes.

When using the Absolute Time option, the mode will not necessarily end at the exact

hour/minute you specify. Instead it will last for a fixed number of whole minutes that is closest to the time specified.

For example, if a door override mode to end at 1:00:00 pm and it was 12:30:30 when the override was executed, the mode would end at 1:00:30.

When the Door is set in an Override Mode, a clock icon will appear on the Door in the Hardware Browser.

Door Mode Override Feature is support in SSP-EP firmware 1.17.3. Support for Absolute Time was added in

Hardware Features

Elevator Mode Override Feature

The Elevator Mode Override feature can be used to override the mode on an elevator for a given amount of time. The selected mode is used during the specified temporary time and the elevator’s normal mode is maintained. Once the temporary time expires, the elevator will revert back to the normal elevator mode.

Example: The elevator is set up to be temporarily locked for 5 minutes. If an event happens that would typically change the elevator mode to its Normal state (such as a time schedule becoming active), the elevator would not change to the new mode until the 5 minutes has passed.

There are three possible settings for the Elevator Override Mode:

● Indefinite - Overrides the door’s normal mode and sets the reader to the specified mode permentantly.

● Number of Minutes - Sets the door mode on the selected door for the indicated amount of time. The number of minutes can be up to 16383

(over 11 days).

● Absolute Time - The Absolute Time option allows the operator to change the door mode until a specified ending time, in hours/minutes.

When using the Absolute Time option, the mode will not necessarily end at the exact

hour/minute you specify. Instead it will last for a fixed number of whole minutes that is closest to the time specified.

For example, if a door override mode to end at 1:00:00 pm and it was 12:30:30 when the override was executed, the mode would end at 1:00:30.

Door Mode Override Feature is support in SSP-EP firmware 1.17.3. Support for Absolute Time was added in

1.17.9 and the Indefinite option was added in 1.18.2.



Example: If the PIN Number is 1234 and the Duress Digit is set to 1, then the cardholder’s Duress PIN would be 1235 - cardholder’s original PIN 1234 + 1 = 1234.

If the Duress Digit is set to 6, then the cardholder’s duress PIN would be 1236 - cardholder’s original PIN 1234 + 6 = 1230.

If the Duress Digit is set to 2, then the cardholder’s duress PIN would be 1236 - cardholder’s

original PIN 1234 + 7 = 1231.

If the Add option is selected, care should be taken so that PIN codes do not overlap.

‡

Append - If Append is selected, the duress would be issued when the cardholder inserts the

Duress Digit at the end of the cardholder’s original PIN code.



Example: If the PIN Number is 1234 and the Duress Digit is set to 1, then the cardholder’s Duress

PIN would be 12341 - cardholder’s original PIN 1234 with 1 inserted at the end = 12341.

If the PIN Number is 1234 and the Duress Digit is set to 6, then the cardholder’s Duress PIN would be 12346 - cardholder’s original PIN 1234 with 6 inserted at the end = 12346.

● Sensitivity - Number of consecutive input scans before a change of state is reported. A low sensitivity setting (2) requires the system to receive this number of consecutive readings from an input prior to reporting a change of state. A high sensitivity setting (15) will require the input to report 15 consecutive readings without deviation before the system will report an alarm.

Sensitivity is measured in units where each unit is reported to the SSP approximately every 17 milliseconds. Example: With a sensitivity setting of 4, the input will have to report the same status

(open, close, fault, etc.) 4 times before a change of state will be reported.

Sensitivity values should never be set lower than 2 since noise and other factors may cause the system to report numerous changes in state.

Recommended setting for REX is 2, and 4-6 for standard inputs. Use higher numbers only if you are receiving noise induced fault reports.

● Hold Time - Amount of time, in seconds, that an input will be ignored if activated, once reset.

Generally used in association with a motion detector or other device capable of reporting many alarms per second. Max. value=15 seconds

● Log Specification - Logging parameters specific to the point.

‡

Log All Changes - Logs all change of state events.

‡

Do not log contact COS (change of state) if masked - Fault to fault change of state events will be logged but change of state events will not be logged if they are masked.

‡

No masked contact COS + no fault to fault COS - Contact change of state will not be logged if masked and no fault to fault changes.

● Latching Mode - Type of latching mode. Only used with configuring entry and exit delays common with secured areas.

‡

Normal - Select Normal when no entry or exit delay is used.

‡

Non-Latching - Generates an alarm only if the point is still in alarm after the entry time has expired. If the door is opened and immediately closed (within the entry delay), the alarm would not be generated. A event will be generated when the change of state happens, but no alarm would be received. If selected, an Entry and Exit should be set.

Fusion User Manual Page 8-69

Hardware Features

‡

Latching - The contact closure will generate an alarm unless the point is masked within the entry delay time. If the door is opened, regardless if the door is shut again, an alarm will be generated

(unless the monitor point is masked). This is the preferred setting. If selected, an Entry and Exit should be set.

● Entry Delay - Warning period to allow for disarming of system. If the system is not disarmed within the entry delay, an alarm will be generated. Available if Non-Latching or Latching is selected for the

Creating Macros

Creating Triggers

Adding Macros to Doors

Creating Host Based Macros

Adding Host Based Macros to Hardware

Triggers and Macros add a tremendous amount of dimension and flexibility to the system by allowing the operator to set up automated actions to occur based on certain system events.

Creating triggers and macros is easy once you have determined what it is you want to happen within the system. Think of triggers and macros as if/then statements; i.e., If a specific event occurs in the system

(trigger), then a defined action will occur (macro).

Triggers provides a means for event based control. Macros are a canned list of commands that an operator might perform. The trigger defines the event for which a chain of actions is desired.

The macro executes the list of actions. Together they provide event based control and allow for customization of DNA.

In this chapter you will learn how to configure macros and then how to define event triggers to activate those macros based on user defined criteria.

Macros

We discuss the building of macros before triggers since macros are referenced via a drop-down list in the triggers module. In other words, while the creation of either a macro or a trigger can be accomplished first, usually a macro will be created first in order to complete the creation of a functioning trigger.

A macro is a defined set of commands that perform various actions within the system. The number of commands is limited by the available memory.

Examples of a macro:

● A command to activate or deactivate an output relay on a sub-controller.

● A command to unlock a door based on a given time schedule.

● A command to arm or disarm a monitor point.

Creating a Macro

1. Click the Triggers & Macros button on the Standard Toolbar.

The Triggers and Macros Browser opens.

2. Expand the Macros object and right-click on the appropriate SSP icon in the browser and select Add Macro from the resulting menu.

!

Macros are created and downloaded to the specific SSP that contains objects associated to the macro. It is important to select the appropriate

SSP when adding a macro to the system.

The Macro Editor is displayed.

Fusion User Manual Page 10-1

Triggers & Macros

3. Enter a Description for the macro.

4. If desired, select a Host Based Macro from the drop-down list or click the Edit button to create a new host macro based on a Macro.

If Edit is selected, continue to page 10-13 for more information.

5. Click the Add button to associate commands with the macro.

Macro commands are executed in the order they are added or by the Action Type associated with the command. An infinite number of commands can be associated with the macro.

The Macros Editor appears.

6. Select the desired Command from the drop-down list of available commands.

Depending on the Command selection, the field(s) below will change to allow for configuration of the command.

Use the information in the table on page 10-3 to complete the setup based on your selection.

7. Select the Object to control.

This field will depend on the Command selected in step 6.

8. If desired, select an Action Type from the drop-down list.

Since more than 1 macro command can be added to a macro, the action type specifies which macro commands will fire based on the action type referenced in the trigger. The Action Type field in the Macro relates to the Command field in the Trigger

(see page 10-7) for more information.

There are four Action Types (Type 1 - 4) which allows the system to execute only one type per trigger.

For instance, both Unlock and Card Only mode changes can be placed under a single macro with each designated as a different Action Type; two triggers would link to the same macro but reference the appropriate Action Type.

9. Click OK to save the macro command.

The macro command will appear in the Triggers and Macros Browser.

10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 until all Macro Commands have been added.

11. Click the OK button to save the Macro.

12. Create a Trigger to execute the desired Macro Commands.

See page 10-5 for information on creating a Trigger.

Macro command Action Types are conditions, and/or states, attributed to a given

command. If unfamiliar with this functionality, use Type 1, which is the default. Assigning

action types to a macro command is an advanced feature of DNA.

● Execute Type 1 (Default) = Executes Type 1 (Default) macro commands

● Execute Type 2 - 4 = Executes the specified Macro Type

● Abort Execution = Aborts a delayed macro

● Resume Type 1 - 4 = Resumes the specified delayed Macro Type

9. Click OK to save the trigger.

10. Right-click on the Trigger and select Download from the menu.

Fusion User Manual Page 10-9

Triggers & Macros

Trigger Variables

The trigger variable section is for advanced triggers and macros. Selecting a value for the trigger variables means that the selected variable must be present in the SSP before the trigger will fire.

The most common use for trigger variables is to create a “toggle” effect, where a pair of triggers are created with identical terms, except one requires a trigger variable to be False to complete the trigger, and the other requires a trigger variable to be True to complete the trigger. Only one of the two triggers will trip for a given transaction.

Trigger variables are set in the Macro Command / Set Trigger Variable. See page 10-1 for more information on macro commands.

1. Create the Trigger as described on page 10-5.

2. Select the Variable(s) from the drop down list in the Trigger Variables and Arguments section.

3. Click radiobutton for the correct condition: ON or OFF.

4. Click OK to save the trigger.

5. Create another Trigger with the same Trigger Variable selected.

6. Select the opposite condition: ON or OFF.

This creates a toggle condition and requires the correct Trigger Variable to be in the controller for the trigger to execute.

7. Right-click on the Trigger and select Download from the menu.

8. Create the Macro and add commands to set the Trigger Variables.

See page 10-1 for more information on macros.

9. Associate the Macro to the desired Trigger.

Host Based Macros

In addition to the macros stored on the SSPs, DNA has the capability of storing host-based macros. Host

Based Macros allow for cause and effect relationships between points controlled by different controllers that wouldn’t be possible with conventional trigger-macro configurations.

Host Based Macro are programmed differently from regular Triggers and Macros. One of the major differences is that Host Based Macros must be assigned to the Controlling Object(s) in the Properties dialog. This creates the linkage to the Controlling Object(s) which tells the system which object(s) trigger the Macro to execute.

Creating a Host Based Macro

To create a host macro:

1. With the Triggers & Macros Browser open, select the Host Macros tab at the bottom of the browser.

2. Right-click on the Host Based Macros object in the browser and select Add

Host Macro.

The Host Based Macros dialog will appear.

3. Enter a Description for the macro.

This description will appear in a drop-down menu later when the controlling object is configured.

4. If desired, select a Time Schedule for the Host Based Macro.

See page 10-17 for information on creating Internal Time Schedules.

5. Select a Object Type from the Local Object Type (Controlling Object) drop-down menu.

This is the controlling object that will cause the macro to execute. This selection determines the choices available in the Action Event ID drop-down menus.

6. Select an Action(s) 1-4 for the Controlling Object from the desired Action Event ID drop-down menu(s).

Up to four separate actions can be configured.

7. Select the Remote Object Type (Controlled Object) from the drop-down menu.

This is the controlled object that will receive the action as a result of the event being triggered.

This selection will determine which identifying fields are displayed as well as adding additional parameters to the Local Object Type Action. See the table for more information.

8. Select an action from the Action drop-down menu(s) corresponding to the selected Event ID(s).

Up to four separate actions can be configured to match the Controlling Objects Actions.

9. If needed, click the Build button to configure the Remote Object (Controlled Object).

The Build option will appear when an item requires additional configuration such as camera call-up, controlling peripheral items, changing the access to an integrated lock, etc.

Access Areas

What is an Access Area?

An Access Area is a defined area wherein all access points to the area are secured by the system. The access points can be configured and adjusted to set parameters on occupancy and permission attributes.

Access areas can be configured to limit the number of cardholders within the area. The configuration includes a minimum and maximum number of cardholders allowed in the area; before the occupancy counts is reached, an event is reported. These limits may be set so that no fewer then two cardholders are in the area.

Creating an Access Area

1. Right-click on the SSP object from the tree in the Hardware Browser and select Add.

2. Select Add Access Area from the context menu.

The Access Areas Dialog box will display.

3. Select an Area Number from the drop-down list.

The number is an arbitrary designation for the given access area.

4. Enter a Description for the area.

5. Select the appropriate type of Access Control from the drop down.

● No Change - Area’s Occupancy Count will not change when Cardholders access this Area.

● Disabled - Deactivates the Area and Cardholders will receive Access Denied: Area Disabled.

● Enabled - Activates the Area and Cardholders will have access based on their assigned Access Level and the Access Areas Occupancy Rules.

Access Areas & Anti-Pass Back

NOTES:

Page 11-6 Fusion User Manual

Access Areas & Anti-Pass Back

Anti-Pass Back

Anti-pass Back (APB) prevents a person from using a door if the system does not recognize him as being in the correct area. A cardholder must present their card at each reader as they progress through the facility in order to be in the correct area. If a cardholder fails to badge at a reader and follows another cardholder into an area, a violation has occurred since the cardholder was not detected in the correct area. APB also prevents a card from being passed back to an unauthorized user.

It is important to carefully plan your anti-pass back system if it is to be effective.

It is recommended that you obtain a layout of the facility where APB will be implemented. Using this layout, determine what areas or zones that you will set up and which readers will control access into and out of these zones. Use the information to set up the Anti-Pass Back features in DNA Fusion.

Types of Anti-Pass Back

DNA supports reader-based and area-based models, with time based extensions. Within those mechanisms, the anti-pass back rules can be set to “hard” or “soft” anti-pass back. Hard anti-pass back refers to rules that do not allow the user access for anti-pass back violations; while Soft will not deny access due to anti-pass back violations but an anti-pass back event will be logged.

Reader-Based

Reader-based anti-pass back refers to rules based on access history for an individual reader. Typically, these rules prevent multiple people from entering using the same card at the same reader. There are two types of reader based anti-pass back. The first type stores the card number and time of the last access granted event in the reader and the second type stores the reader number of last access granted event in the cardholder’s record.

Area-Based

Area-based anti-pass back relies on knowing where the user is in the system at all times. Typically, areabased anti-pass back is implemented with readers tracking entry and exit out of an area. The location of the cardholder’s last access granted is stored in the cardholder’s record. If the area in the cardholders record matches the area that the reader is in, the cardholder will be granted access. Once entry had been detected, the cardholder’s location will change.

Configuring DNA to use Anti-Pass Back

DNA must be configured for anti-pass back prior to implementing the feature.

1. In the SSP Properties dialog under Stored Quantities, select the Store APB Location checkbox.

See page 8-41 for more information on SSP Properties and Anti-Pass Back options.

2. For general Anti-Pass back, verify that the Support Timed Anti-Pass Back is deselected in the Stored

Quantities dialog.

3. Create an Access Area for each of the anti-pass back locations.

There must be at least two Access Areas created; a To: Area and a From: Area. See page 11-1 for information on creating access areas.

!

If the APB locations will cross multiple SSP panels, a constant connection to the server will be required since Host Based Macros will be used to communicate between panels.

● Check last valid user - References the user’s card number and will not all access to the same card number until a different card is presented at the reader. Delay = 0. (Reader-based Anti-Pass Back)

● Check last ACR used, no location change - Disallows a cardholder to present his card to the same reader twice in a row. Once access is granted at the reader, the user will not be granted access at this same reader again until the user presents his card at another reader in the system or APB delay has expired. Delay = 0. (Reader-based Anti-Pass Back)

● Check current location, change on entry - Similar to option #2, except the user’s area will be reset.

Delay = 0. (Reader-based Anti-Pass Back)

3. Select the From: Area Number the user will come from.

4. Select the To: Area Number the user will enter.

The From and To settings will generally be reversed for each door in an In/Out reader configuration.

5. Check any Door Parameter settings to apply to the area.

When using APB, it is strongly recommended that you uncheck the Log All Access

Requests as Used setting in the Door Parameters to prevent cardholders from mistakenly being in the wrong APB area.

If this option is selected and the cardholder presents his card without using the door, the system will consider them to be in the new area and will not be granted access at the reader the next time a card is presented unless a delay time expired.

6. Click OK to save the settings.

7. Create an Access Level for the APB doors.

An Event is the report of an incident that has occurred on the system. For example, when a user presents their card and is permitted access at the door, an event is sent to the host(s). The event documents the user concerned, the reader at which they presented their card as well as the time and date of the event.

The events that are displayed in the Events Grid are based on the settings in the Logging window.

See page 14-23 for information on Logging.

Alarms

DNA offers a very sophisticated set of alarm monitoring tools. This section covers the basic capabilities of the alarm grid, alarm monitoring commands, and the versatility of DNA in handling alarms from a given work station.

Alarms signal a specific and “user-defined” change of state on system hardware. These changes in state are reported through the system to display on the alarm grid. Additionally, alarms can be set up and monitored using graphic pages. That method of alarm monitoring is addressed in Chapter 18: Graphics Maps.

Alarms Toolbar

Each button on the Alarms Toolbar represents a command used to control alarms in the grid. The Alarms options are also available by right-clicking on an Alarm in the Alarms window.

The Alarms toolbar is context sensitive so that only the objects or icons that are available for any given status are enabled. If an icon (or menu item) is not available, it will appear as a “ghost” object (greyed out).

Select All Icon - Allows the operator to select all of the current alarms on the grid for a specific control such as acknowledge or clear.

Acknowledge Alarm Icon - Allows the operator to acknowledge a selected alarm.

Acknowledge Selected Icon - Allows the operator to acknowledge a group of alarms that have been previously selected.

Clear Alarm Icon - Clears the grid of selected alarm. Only active once an alarm has been acknowledged and returned to normal.

Clear Selected Icon - Allows the operator to clear a group of alarms that have been previously selected. As with the clear button, this button is only active once an alarm has been acknowledged and returned to normal.

Dismiss Alarm Icon - Dismisses the selected alarm.

Dispatch Text Icon - Toggles the dispatch text requirement for Acknowledging or Clearing alarms.

Move Down Icon - Moves the selected alarm(s) down in the alarm grid order. Used for sorting.

Move Up Icon - Moves the selected alarm(s) up in the alarm grid order. Used for sorting.

Control Icon - Calls up a Control Dialog for the selected alarm point in the grid.

Point Properties Icon - Opens the Properties for the point where the alarm originated.

Alarm Information Icon - Toggles to expand a drop-down Alarm Information field under a selected event.

Camera Icon - Opens a window displaying a camera view if one has been associated with the alarm point selected in the grid.

Home Page Icon - Brings the point’s homepage to the front. The point’s homepage is associated in the point’s hardware properties.

E-mail Alarm Icon - Displays E-mail Alarm dialog box. Allows user to send e-mail with alarm data and text messaging to any valid e-mail address.

The Alarm Grid

The

Alarm Grid is a data window comprised of a “matrix” or spreadsheet record of alarm events.

There are several ways to display the alarm grid. The basic alarm grid can be viewed by a number of different methods:

● Selecting the Alarm button at the top of the screen in the Standard Toolbar.

Double-click the Alarm status icon on the Status Bar.

Selecting the

Alarm Grid (using any of the methods described) will bring it to the front of the operator interface and display any alarms that have not been acknowledged and cleared or dismissed.

If no alarms are pending, the grid will be brought forward with a message, “There are no pending alarms…”

The Alarm Grid presents the alarm information in a condensed format to conserve screen space. The alarm grid displays all pertinent data in an easy to read format. The grid consists of 9 columns to describe various properties of each individual alarm as well as an Alarm Information section:

H

EadEr d

Escription

Alarm Status Icon

The user defined priority of this alarm.

The time and date that the alarm occurred.

The hardware address of the specific alarm point.

A user defined address description of the alarm point.

Supplemental alarm text information.

The current status of the hardware.

The count indicating how many times this specific alarm point has changed state since it was acknowledged and cleared.

The status of the alarm condition.

The

Alarm Information pane includes the alarm information for the selected alarm including previous alarm incidents as well as any predefined instructions.

Alarm Grid Features

Fusion User Manual Page 14-13

Events & Alarms

All alarms will display text detailing the specific information regarding the alarm. Any number of alarms can be displayed simultaneously on the grid. With the alarm count feature and the expandable and collapsible alarm text, virtually hundreds of alarms can be viewed simultaneously.

● The Alarm count feature is extremely useful in periods of system maintenance or hardware device failure. With this feature, the alarm point only creates one entry on the grid and the count is adjusted upwards to indicate the number of times the point has changed state.

● The Alarm Information Pane allows the operator to read the alarm information as well as any predefined instructions and respond accordingly.

● Multiple alarms can be selected to make acknowledging and/or clearing the alarms easier.

Handling Alarms

The system operator is responsible for the recognition of an alarm condition. This section will deal with the basics of how an alarm is handled once it is displayed on the

Alarm Grid. Alarm handling involves multiple steps for the operator and they can be accomplished directly from the Alarm gird in a number of ways.

There are two alarm states to be aware of:

● Active – When the point has changed state from its normal state to an alarm state.

● Inactive – When the point has not changed to an alarm state or it has returned to its normal state.

In working with the alarms, there are basically four conditions of an alarm:

● Unacknowledged Alarm - A new alarm message. A change of state was detected.

● Acknowledged Alarm - An alarm that has been recognized by the operator.

● Cleared Alarm - An alarm that has been acknowledged, responded to, and cleared from the alarm grid.

● Dismissed Alarm - An alarm that has been dismissed by the operator.

When handling alarms from the alarm grid, the operator can experience and must recognize the actual status of the alarm being viewed and that status is determined by a combination of states and conditions.

Under normal operations the process of state and condition on any given alarm point would be as follows:

s tEp

1.

2.

‡ Alarms menu on the Main Menu

‡

Context menu resulting from right-clicking a selected alarm

● Keystroke / Shortcut Keys

‡ Acknowledge

F5 Shortcut key

‡

The Administrator has the ability to clear all alarms in the Alarm Grid. To clear all the

alarms, select DNA / Administrative / Alarms & Events / Clear All Alarms. All pending alarms

will be cleared from the Alarm Grid.

Fusion User Manual Page 14-17

Events & Alarms

Alarm Status

In providing the various avenues for the direction and control of alarm commands, the operator can effectively and effortlessly view, acknowledge, respond to, and clear all alarm activities from the basic alarm grid.

Alarm handling in DNA is color coded so that the response activity to handle an alarm will involve the same color as indicated on the icon in the alarm status field.

For instance, an alarm with a red icon in the status field requires that the operator select a red Acknowledge icon from the toolbars or press the

Acknowledge function key. The same logic applies for the green Clear icons and key.

The alarm has been recognized by the operator, but the condition has not returned to normal.

No action is required to by the operator but the physical condition causing the alarm may need to be addressed.

No action is required however, the operator may need to change the physical condition of the problem in order for the condition to return to normal.

The alarm has been recognized by the operator and the condition has returned to normal and awaits clearing by the operator.

The operator should clear the alarm.

Select or or

F8 or Shift F8 (All Selected)

An acknowledged alarm may not be cleared until the alarm state has returned to normal, i.e., all alarms must be both acknowledged and indicate a “returned-to-normal” status before they can be cleared. Order is not important. However, the operator may use the

Dismiss option to remove an alarm from the alarms grid prior to both conditions occurring.

If the system connection has been interrupted, select View / Refresh from the Main Menu

to display the current alarm data. A refresh should also be performed if the operator logs off and then back on or if the Alarms grid seems unresponsive.

Creating Graphic Maps

Linking Graphic Maps to Hardware & Hyperlinks

Using Graphic Maps to Control Hardware

Using Graphic Maps to Handle Alarms

The graphic maps in DNA are a powerful and flexible tool for providing visual representations of an external hardware platform. The maps can represent the various states and statuses of the attached hardware, and may be used to allow easy access to various user commands, such as alarm acknowledgement, hardware control, and setup.

DNA provides a flexible application of sounds and audio capability including customizing status and alarm sounds and employing audio instruction capability.

Graphics

The graphic maps are “object oriented” graphic objects, meaning that, unlike a typical graphics program, they may be manipulated and moved as a single entity easily after their creation. This allows the various properties to be used to represent hardware states and statuses. In addition, the maps may be linked together to provide a drill down effect, linked to external applications and web sites.

Graphic maps exist in either design mode or in run mode. Design mode allows the graphic map to be modified and graphic objects to be added, linked, and configured. Run mode protects a configured graphic object and disallows any modifications, while still allowing hardware and alarms to be controlled via the graphic map.

Graphics Toolbar

DNA provides a Graphics Toolbar that allows the operator to easily customize a map. Graphics commands are available from the Graphics Toolbar.

Select Tool Icon - Select tool is used to select objects for modifications.

Line Tool Icon - Draws a line.

Rectangle Tool Icon - Draws a rectangle. Can show state using background and foreground colors.

Creating and Editing Archive Data Schedules

Creating and Editing Batch File Schedules

Creating and Editing Download Schedules

Creating and Editing Report Schedules

System users may find some of the tasks in DNA to be repetitive. Many of these tasks can be automated and scheduled to perform on a one-time or regular recurring basis.

The Scheduling function is designed to eliminate such repetitive tasks, making it a great timesaver.

Scheduling also serves the purpose of completing a task automatically when the operator is unavailable to do so manually; however the host DNA application must be open.

Schedules

There are four types of scheduling:

● Archive Data - The Data Archive Schedule Configuration features the ability to simultaneously configure three different categories: audit trails, acknowledged alarms, and transactions (event history) for archiving at different times.

● Batch Files - The Batch File Configuration allows for additional flexibility under specific situations.

Contact Open Options for more information on Batch Files.

● Downloads - The Download Schedule Configuration features the ability to download specific download properties for a scheduled time.

● Reports - The Report Schedule Configuration features the ability to set the Date/Time Parameters range for the report to be scheduled.

The scheduling process remains virtually identical regardless of the task to be scheduled.

In order for Scheduled Tasks to run, the host DNA application must be open. If DNA is closed, the Scheduled Task will not run and the user will be prompted for an action the next time a user logs into DNA. Contact Open Options Technical Support for other scheduling options.

Handling Alarms

Fusion Web offers a very sophisticated set of alarm monitoring tools. This section covers the basic capabilities of the alarm grid, alarm monitoring commands, and the handling alarms.

Alarms signal a specific and “user-defined” change of state on system hardware. These changes in state are reported through the system to display on the alarm grid.

The Alarm Grid

The alarm grid is a data window comprised of a “matrix” or spreadsheet record of alarm events and displays any alarms that have not been acknowledged and cleared or dismissed.

To display the Alarms grid:

1. Click the Alarms tab on the Toolbar.

To group the alarms:

The Alarm Grid can be grouped by any header column including Alarm Status and Priority.

1. Drag the desired column header(s) to the Group By box.

To sort the alarms:

1.

Click the desired column header to the sort the grid.

Click once to sort ascending and click again to sort descending.

Managing Alarms

Alarm handling involves multiple steps for the operator and they can be accomplished by

right clicking on the Alarm.

There are two alarm states to be aware of:

● Active – When the point has changed state from its normal state to an alarm state.

● Inactive – When the points state has not changed or it has returned to its normal state.

In working with the alarms, there are basically four conditions of an alarm:

● Unacknowledged Alarm - A new alarm message. A change of state was detected.

● Acknowledged Alarm - An alarm that has been recognized by the operator.

● Cleared Alarm - An alarm that has been acknowledged, and cleared from the alarm grid.

● Dismissed Alarm - An alarm that has been dismissed by the operator.

Taking a Photo

Previewing & Printing a Badge

For the purposes of clarification, it will be assumed that the processes discussed in this section will be performed on a station enabled as an ID Badging station. (See page 3-2 for more information on enabling the ID Badging for a station.)

An ID Badging station is comprised of two modules:

● The Badge Designer

● The Badge Manager

The Badge Designer is where the template for the badges is actually designed. Component objects (graphic, text field, and bar code placeholders) are placed on the badge model to fashion how the badges will appear.

The template is then named and saved to the operator’s local hard drive or a common shared folder if more than one badging station is utilized. The placeholders will be populated by specific information from the database to create individual badges.

In the Badge Manager, a badge template is selected, the photo is taken, and the badge is printed. The Badge

Manager is contained in a personnel record tab.

Designing a Badge Template

The Badge Designer software can store any number of badge template designs. Templates define the physical layout of the badge. This includes the size and shape of the badge as well of the format of the various text, photos, and graphic data to be displayed on the badge.

Badge Designer gives you many design options. The key is to include the necessary elements and create an attractive badge. Achieving this balance may take some work. Here are the design elements that should be considered.

● Photos: Color or Black & White

● Text: Names, ID Numbers, etc.

● Logos: Placement

● Type: Bar Codes, Magnetic Strips, Smart Cards

Begin the design process by choosing the elements you want to include from the list above. Then sketch a few layouts in an area the size of a credit card. Remember if you are including a magnetic stripe, design your badge so they can be swiped through a reader. And remember, if you use bar codes, leave a 0.25 inch border on either side of the image.

To start the design:

1. With Badge Manager open, select File / New.

The New Template dialog opens.

2. Specify the badge Orientation and Size.

3. Select One or Two Sided.

4. If desired, select a Background Color by clicking the Select Color button.

The Color dialog opens.

Select

the colored square of your choice and click OK.

In order for the color to be visible, the Print Background must be set to True. See page 22-18 for more information.

5. Click OK.

The blank template will open in the window.

Adding a Color Block

A color block can be added to highlight an image or to incorporate issuer’s colors.

1. Select the Shape Icon from the Component Toolbar and click in the badge area.

A square will appear.

2. Move and size the shape.

3. With the object selected, click on the Object Inspector on the Control Toolbar.

1. Double-click the desired image object.

The Image Editor dialog opens.

There are two tabs located at the bottom of the window: Settings and Options.

Object Inspectors

The Object Inspector is a window containing the property settings allowing the user to configure the attributes of the objects placed on the template.

The operator may elect to use the Editor Dialogs instead of the Object Inspector; however there are options that can only be configured using the Object Inspector. (See

22-11 for more information on Editor Dialogs.)

The Object Inventory drop-down list contains a listing of all the objects currently placed on the template as well as the template background. Selecting an object from this list redefines the Property and Value columns for the object selected.

When an individual property field is selected, the corresponding Value field display will change to indicate whether and how the value field is configurable. Some of the properties are simply labels and not configurable such as Type and Name, and the values are read only.

Properties that have a choice of values will have the values displayed with a drop-down button. This is true for properties that have only a simple True/False selection, as well as for properties with more value choices.

In the example above, the DBField property was selected prompting the value field to become a drop-down list from which to choose the appropriate value.

Properties with a plus sign in a white box indicate that the property can be expanded to reveal property options. Click the plus icon (+) to expand the property and display the options.

Date Time Format

If the information in the database field for a Text object or a Static Text object are to be represented on the badge as a DateTimeFormat, the following will apply.

Click

the DateTimeFormat property field to display a value field with a default Date Time

Format string of hh:ss:nn mm/dd/yyyy with hh=hours, ss=minutes, nn=seconds, mm=month, dd=day, and yyyy=4-digit year.

The Date Time Format strings are composed from specifiers that represent values to be inserted into the formatted string. Some specifiers (such as “d”) simply format numbers or strings. Other specifiers (such as “/”) refer to locale-specific strings from global variables.

In the following table are the specifiers available for use in the Date Time Format strings. The specifiers are given in lower case. Case is ignored in formats, except for the “am/pm” and “a/p” specifiers.

Photo Index

An Image object can be configured to retrieve any of the 4 display photos associated with a personnel record.

To perform this function:

1. Select one of the four PhotoIndex listings in the PhotoIndex drop-down menu.

2. Press the Enter key after selecting the numeric value.

Print Background

If badge’s background will be an image or set to a specific color, the Print Background field will need to be set to True in order for the image or color to be visible.

Sample Value Property

Text, Image and Barcode objects have a Sample Value property in the Object Inspector Window.

Sample Value properties allow the user to place a value to use as a placeholder. This has no effect on the template other than to allow the user to view the field with this placeholder sample to get an idea of what the badge will look like.

Text and Barcode objects values can be typed in the SampleValue field.

In the case of Image objects, the SampleValue requires a file. In such cases, the SampleValue field will display a Browse button. Clicking the Browse button displays the Open dialog allowing the operator to navigate to the desired file.

Scripting

The Object Inspector provides a scripting feature that allows an operator to write program scripts.

1. Click the plus + icon to expand the scripting options.

The list will display and the icon will become a minus.

2. Select the Browse button to display the script editor where the operator may create scripts.

!

The Scripting functionality is considered an advanced feature. For additional assistance regarding this feature, contact Open Options Technical Support or e-mail: oosupport@ openoptionsinc.com.
