ADVANCED REPORTING MODULE

The Advanced Reporting Module allows you to create custom reports using realtime events from PC Log Reports or from a previously retrieved Panel Event Buffer. Events may be filtered using different report categories, allowing you to create reports that suit your specific needs, including the following categories:

Arming
Disarming
Area Late to Close
Door Access Granted
Door Access Denied
System Monitors
System Events

HTML document (*.HTM)
Excel spreadsheet (*.XLS)

Windows Metafile (*.WMF)

ALARM MONITORING

Add Alarm Monitoring to workstations where you want to monitor and printevents for subscriber accounts. The modules allow you to monitor door access events at the site, providing a higher level of security by monitoring who comes and goes and when. You can send your subscribers reports of their openings and closings to keep for their records

HYPERLINK SUBSCRIBER INFORMATION

Hyperlink to files containing additional information about the site, allowing operators to give proper information to the authorities such as the site password and address.

EASY-TO-USE INTERFACE

When an alarm signal is received, the Alarm Monitoring Alarm List or the Command Center Alarm Grid displays automatically on top of any open windows, and an alert tone sounds to identify the alarm. Operators may view the Alarm List or Alarm Grid at any time.

ALARM LIST DISPLAY

Depending on the monitor settings, each new signal displays on a violet background in the Alarm List. Once the alarm is acknowledged, the background color changes to represent the type of signal. For example, acknowledged fire alarms display on a red background. By color-coding alarms, operators can determine the priority of the alarm signal at a glance. This ensures that operators acknowledge and respond to the most important signals before responding to non-emergency signals, such as a low AC signal.

ACCOUNT GROUPS MODULE

The Account Groups module saves time when maintaining profiles, schedules, output schedules, holidays, users, and user codes on grouped XR500N XR500E, XR550DN, and XR550DE panels. For convenience, associate the groups by location, business, or other logical grouping. Create profiles that define the authority for a user code, then simply select the appropriate user code for each user to specify their authority type/level. Using Batch Programming, operatorscan maintain profiles, schedules, output schedules, and holidays for multiple XR100/XR500/XR550 panels at once. With the Schedules feature, operators can assign auto arm/disarm of specified areas by hour and day.

SQL MODULE

The SQL Module allows larger corporate users to take advantage of redundant Microsoft SQL server installations they already have in place. This module allows an administrator to configure an ODBC connection to an existing Microsoft SQL server installation. The SQL Module then creates the database structure necessary to store all of the panel programming information. The module also allows the administrator to export all existing panel programming information from the standard System Link DBISAM database and then import that information into the newly created Microsoft SQL database. The SQL Module comes with five seats/licenses. If more than five are required, additional SQL MODULE ADDs must be purchased, offering single licenses to add to your Remote Link and System Link programs.

LINK SERVER APPLICATION

System Link is designed and licensed specifically for use on a single workstation. Link Server software accommodates larger installation and service environments where multiple computers are used to upload/download panel information. When installed on a network server, Link Server allows multiple client computers to simultaneously access System Link.

USB PROX READER

Use the unique desktop unit with System Link to greatly reduce time spent entering proximity credentials manually. Simply press the Scan Card button and present the proximity device to the 1301N USB Prox Reader. The device quickly and automatically assigns a code to the selected user.

SIMPLE INSTALLATION

Power for the USB prox reader and communication to the PC is provided via a standard USB connection.

PROXIMITY DEVICE FORMATS

The USB prox reader is specifically designed for all DMP HID formats, making any proximity device that is compatible with DMP panels compatible with the USB prox reader.
