MONITOR AFx™ Director V4.1 User's Guide

500-9041 v4.1

General Concepts and Features

Seamlessly Integrated Security

The MONITOR AFx Director software provides

a seamless integration between managing

system security and controlling personnel

access at the facility. This provides assurance

that unauthorized access will be detected for

immediate attention, while allowing authorized

persons to enter at their designated doors and

times without triggering an alarm.

Feature-Rich Security

The monitoring of doors, windows, and areas

within the facility can be uniquely customized

to meet even the most stringent requirements

for a wide array of applications and situations.

The interweaving of characteristics for 'areas'

and individual devices, in conjunction with

authority assignments for groups of persons

provides a feature-rich environment for

monitoring activity, maintaining security, and

managing personnel.

Access Control

(Door and Elevator Controllers)

In its simplest sense, access control is the

management of

WHO

can go

WHERE

and

WHEN

. With the addition of door (and/or

elevator) controller modules, user-access can

be controlled throughout a facility as desired.

Persons authorized to enter the facility are

(typically) given an access card or token,

which will allow access only to specific doors

at applicable times as per the person's

assigned authority profile. Each reader may

require entry of a PIN, and/or the presence of

an assigned escort (escort mode) or any

second valid user (dual custody) before the

door will unlock. Alternatively, entry can be

using a 4-10 digit number associated with each

person.

Note: For access cards to be supported in

this case, the encoded card numbers must match this

value.

Doors can also be set to unlock and re-lock or

change operating characteristics automatically

at desired times. Area characteristics can also

be automated based on a desired schedule,

and area(s) can be set to disarm automatically

whenever specific persons are granted entry.

Elevator controllers provide an interface

between a reader in an elevator cab (lift), and

the floor 'call buttons'--allowing persons to

access only the floors that have been assigned

to them. Call buttons for specific floors can

also be activated based on a schedule--

allowing anyone to access these floors during

specific days and times.

Visitors (and others) can:

•

Be given cards

that expire on a specific date and time;

•

Be denied access unless accompanied by an

escort;

•

Have their card disabled when they

'badge' at a specific reader.

Activity Monitoring and Signalling

Activity that occurs at each site can be viewed

through the MONITOR AFx Director software,

and can also be transmitted to a Central

Monitoring Station. The MONITOR AFx

Director monitoring window can be set to show

activity by date&time only, or all 'unresolved'

(and higher priority) events first. As well, the

window can be set to show all activity, or only

specific types of events (this is remembered

for each operator).

Events can be customized as to how they will be

displayed (priority, sound, colour, etc.). The event

log can be purged or archived to improve reporting

speed. With the archive feature, messages can be

re-imported when a report is needed on a date-range

that is no longer retained in the primary database.

How sensors are monitored--and events signalled, is

based on the settings for the specific device and its

associated "area", in conjunction with the arming

level that is presently in effect for each individual

area.

Dial up panels (with dedicated modems) can be set

to automatically dial-in and transfer alarms, or blocks

of activity messages to the MONITOR AFx Director

system. In other configurations, the alarms and

events are transmitted when a connection is made

with the specific panel(s)—either manually, or at

scheduled times.
