AEC | User Manual | 3.0 DB Backup


3.0 DB Backup 3.1 Setting DB Backup Before launching the DB Backup, consider the following important points: • You must have file transfer protocol (FTP) access

to the AEC. If you do not have FTP access, the AEC super user can grant you access rights.

• The DB Backup allows you to download the AEC parameters and activity transactions to a PC as a backup. The DB Backup uses FTP to transfer information from the AEC to the PC.

Your PC has FTP access to the AEC remote PC. You can specify a maximum of three PCs.

To grant FTP access rights: 1. Log in as the AEC super user. (“user1” is the

default super user.) 2. From Panel Admin, select Users to view the

following screen showing all users.

The user name for whom access is to be granted is selected. This opens the following screen showing all rights that can be granted. Note that File Transfer (FTP) under the heading Remote PC Access is checked.

3.2 Setting User’s PC as Remote PC The left side of the AEC screen contains configurable options.

1. Click Panel Setup to open the following screen.


.


2. Set up a PC as a remote PC by specifying the PC’s IP address.

3. Once the remote PCs are set up, back up the database.

4. Click on the Database Backup hyperlink to open the Backup database screen.

5. At the submenu item, To Flash Memory, click

.

Perform the Flash Memory backup before activating the DB Backup for the first time.

3.3 Launching DB Backup 1. Select Start�Programs�AEC Utility�DB

Backup to open the Login dialog.

Type the same user name and password you had for the AEC FTP access rights, enabling the Login button. Ensure the users have FTP access rights to log on to the AEC, and they log on using a PC specified in the Panel Setup�Remote PC’s Addresses.

2. Click �Login. Type the AEC IP address in Access Easy Controller IP. The AEC IP address must be one of a valid operating AEC.

3. Click .

4. The program resides in the Windows system tray. The red rectangular icon shows the DB Backup program is running.

3.4 Configuring DB Backup You must configure the DB Backup program before it can operate. The parameter user configures using the Auto-Transaction time and the export format. 1. Right-click the DB Backup icon to open the

following popup menu.

2. Select Setup . . . to open the Setup dialog.

3. Select the At Fixed Interval of radio button if you

want the program to retrieve the transactions from the AEC. Select Daily at if you want the program to retrieve the transactions only once each day.



4. Click the Export Format tab to configure the format type as shown below.

5. If you are using the Report Generator application

program, check the Report Database option. If you are using a third-party software to read files in the CSV format, check the CSV Format option.

Click to change the directory other than those defined as the default.

6. Click to save the setting and close the dialog.

7. When you finish configuring the DB Backup setup parameters, select Synchronize Database from the popup menu. Synchronize Database remains current with the latest AEC parameters in user PC.

3.4.1 CSV File Format

When DB Backup creates the CSV format, it assigns the file a name with the format Tyyyymdd.csv, where:

T = transaction file yyyy = year m = month (in hexadecimal format) dd = date

For example, for transactions on 23 March 2000 the filename is T2000323.csv. For transactions on 20 December 2000, the filename is T2000c20.csv.

If your AEC View Activity web pages contain transactions from different days, the activated DB Backup creates the necessary filenames based on those dates. For example, the View Activity web page has transactions on 19, 20, and 21 May 2000 so the filenames T2000519.csv, T2000520.csv, and T2000521.csv are created respectively.

If you configured DB Backup to carry out the transaction and conversion more than once daily (such as four each hour) it appends the latest transactions to a relevant filename.

If a connection with the control panel cannot be established, a retry is carried out.

To configure the number of retries and retry interval: 1. Ensure the DB Backup is run at least one time and

closed.

2. Click Start and then click Run. 3. Type “regedit” inside the Run box and click OK.

A window containing registry key names opens showing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder.

4. Click the + next to the folder to expand that folder and open sub-folders.

5. Expand the Software, ADC Technologies, and DB Backup folders.

6. On the right pane, are two columns, Name and Data. Under Data corresponding to RtryCnt, type a number for the time interval you want to set.

7. Under Data corresponding to RtryIntrvl, type a number for the retry interval you want to set.

3.5 Running the DB Backup

1. Select Open to access a dialog. Which dialog

appears depends on the transaction and conversion interval or time, such as:

Referring to the above figure, Next update in ... 00:14:03 indicates the countdown time when the next transaction and conversion is due. This is for transaction carried out at interval.

2. Clicking immediately carries out the conversion and updates the transactions file.

Use the Synchronize Database menu option when changes are made to the AEC parameters. This option synchronizes the database changes with those in your PC. When using Report Generator, the changed parameters are reflected in the report. Selecting Synchronize Database also updates the Mntrpt.dbf and Card.dbf files in the Mntrdsn and Miscdsn folders respectively.

Database synchronization begins daily at 00.30 a.m.

Use Exit to close DB Backup if you finished the configuration and do not want the program to carry out the transaction and conversion.

information. Control button Minimize, maximize, or close the application. Processing Period Allows you to configure a query based on date and time. By default, the date is set to the current

date every time the program launches. The time is set to the range of 00:00 to 23:59. Location of Readers & I/O Points

Allows you to configure a query based on reader location and other I/O points.

Delete buttons (3) Located on three query fields. Removes query conditions in the Query Items Window that might have been mistakenly configured. These buttons only enable when a configured item is selected.

User’s Profile Allows you to configure the query based card number, name, department, or other options such as user field and its Information.

Transactions to Process Allows you to configure the query based on transaction events.



Table 1: continued

Control Definition FI/LO First In/Last Out check box Tracks an employee’s entrance and exit for the day. Action buttons Load: Loads the previously saved query conditions saved as a filename with .art extension.

Save: Saves query condition settings as a filename with .art extension. Reset: Automatically sets all query fields to the default without the user manually undoing them. Process: Instructs the program to begin processing based on the query settings. Quit: Exits the program and closes the user interface.

Status bar Shows the status during the processing stage.

4.2 Querying the Database The minimum requirement for any query is to specify a date. A query in the Report Generator is a combination of the date in the Processing Period field and other query items.

The three query fields, User’s Profile, Location of Readers & I/O Points, and Transaction to Process are interrelated. When the Report Generator screen is activated, User’s Profile controls the Location of Readers & I/O Points and Transaction to Process. Depending on your selection in User’s Profile, the related selections in other query fields are enabled.

For example, when User’s Profile is enabled, you can only select Readers in Location of Readers & I/O Points and only Transactions Generated by Readers in Transaction to Process.

When generating a report, configure the fields in the following order:

Step 1: Processing Period

Step 2: User’s Profile

Step 3: Location of Readers & I/O Points

Step 4: Transactions to Process

4.2.1 Processing Period

The listing order of the query result always ranges from the Start Date to the End Date. For example, if you set Start Date to the current date and End Date to an earlier date, the resulting list has the current date query result as the first record and the earlier date as the last record. The result listing is reversed if you specified otherwise.

For the Time option, you can query the result to within or out of the time range. Alternatively, you can disable this query item so there are no time range restrictions. Disabling time results in a query ranging from 00:00 h to 23:59 h.

Refer to Figure 1 for the two queries with specific start and end times.

Figure 1: Query Results

0000 0830 23591730
