There can be 500 peopledefined as well as being subject to system division,operators are assigned can only perform functionsif they have the correct PlansSite plans show a graphical represen-tation of the site and the real time statusof remote field devices and logicalentities.

7 Up to 2,000 site plans can bestored in the system and can be operator can create site plans byimporting map images of the site. CardaxCommand Centre FT supports standardWindows and CAD package graphics filessuch as BMP, DXF (via conversion utility)and representing site items can beplaced on these images. The icons placedon the map image show the real timestatus of all the site items they on an icon displays theproperties for that functions are carried out directlyfrom site plans, for example, temporarilyoverriding the operation of a is critical that while operators areviewing site plans they are aware ofalarms occurring elsewhere in thesystem. On each site plan, a simple alarmsummary table is presented with go-tobuttons to make it easy to navigate tothe alarm of AlarmsAn alarm is a special event that requiresurgent operator intervention, forexample, a door is open longer than itshould be, a device has been tamperedwith, or an intruder alarm has Alarm Configuration routine in CardaxCommand Centre FT enables systemadministrators to define those site eventsto be set up as alarms.

8 There are threeitems to be configured for each alarm: the alarm priority Up to 10 alarmprioritities can be defined andassigned to alarms alarm plans Where events areconfigured as alarms alarm instructions Provideinformation and instructions to theoperator when the alarm Alarm MonitoringThe CardaxFT system integrates fullIntruder Alarm functionalityeliminating the need for a separateintruder alarm detection zones can beconfigured to report four different states:set, unset, and two further states withuser definable cardholders can be authorisedto set and unset specific alarm Detection zones can also be setup with entry and exit delays. This givescardholders time to enter and leave thesite when changing the setting of thealarm ManagementCardax Command Centre FT provides anextensive cardholder cardholder record includes personalcardholder information and accessinformation: The cardholder s first and lastnames Up to 64 personal data fields wherepersonal data can be entered The access groups to which thecardholder belongs Detailed information about the card(s)held by the cardholder, for example,card number, facility code,technology type, issue level, andexpiry date and to system division and operatorprivileges, an operator can create, deleteand change cardholder records in thesystem.

9 Any changes made are recordedas events. The system also downloadsany changes made to the cardholderrecord to the relevant field GroupsAccess groups make it possible to defineaccess for groups of cardholders whoshare the same access group is named andincludes the following information: Access where and when membersof the group have access Members a list of cardholders whohave joined the access group Personal Data Fields a collection ofpersonal data field definitionsattached to individual members Escort whether the members areallowed to act as escorts for visitors Set/Unset alarm zones memberauthorisation to set and unsetcertain alarms Whether members can change thestate of the access groups are displayed as atree with branches having morespecific cardholder may belong to one or moreaccess groups to get their full accessprivileges. For example, there may bean All Cardholders group to which allcardholders belong for commonlyrequired access through the entranceand cafeteria.

10 A cardholder acquiresmore specific access by joining othergroups, for example, Head OfficeManagers Group .Up to 64,000 access groups can bedefined in the is defined through access zonesand time schedules. Up to 4,000 accesszones and up to 100 access control timeschedules can be defined in the groups offer flexibility in howdifferent groups of cardholders areassigned access. Access groups alsoenable bulk changes to be easily appliedto members of the group. Any changesto access or to Personal Data Fields willautomatically apply to all members ofthe Data FieldsPersonal data fields hold the relevantpersonal data required for a example, their telephone numbers,the department in which they work, andwho they report data fields are created asseparate entities and are attached toaccess groups. Cardholders inherit thepersonal data fields from the accessgroups to which they viewing a cardholder s record, itwill contain all the personal data fieldsspecified in the access group(s) thecardholder belongs data fields can be configuredto be unique, mandatory, numeric oralphanumeric.
