CHAPTER 1

➌ SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

CONTROLLER IP ADDRESS CONFIGURATION

From the USB Flash Drive Start Screen, click the 512IP Configuration

By default a PAC 512IP is set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP).It is recommended that a fixed IP is assigned to the device, typically a 192.168.1.* type address.

With DHCP, each time the router restarts (due to power failure etc.), there is no guarantee that it will assign the same IP address to your 512IP Door Controller(s).Setting a fixed IP on the router tells it to reserve an IP address to a particular device and remains saved even if the router is powered off. The end result is that youcan power on and off the router and 512IP, and the router will always assign the same IP address.

Note. If the PAC 512IP it fails to receive a dynamic address from a DHCP server it will assign itself an automatic address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range

Choose the Launch Tool buttonAn Instructional Video is available, illustrating the steps below.

Note the serial number that appears in the table. This is the barcode serial number on the controller. If you have more than one 512IP on the subnet identifeswhich one you are setting up.

Double-click the line with the controller, or highlight theline and click Entry.

Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway then click OK. These values must be provided by the local network administrator.

CHAPTER 2


LOGIN FOR THE FIRST TIME

Now that Stanley PAC is installed, login is required. All activity within Stanley PAC is controlled by login credentials. These determine whatfunctions the operator can perform and what they can see and change.

There is no default login; instead the system will requires the creation of a password for the ‘Installer’ operator. ‘Installer’ is the highestlevel operator and cannot be deleted; although it can be renamed.

ALARM ALERTS

Alarm Alerts is a feature of Stanley PAC that provides pop-up messages even when nobody is logged into the system – for example:

This feature needs a credential to determine what can be displayed. A prompt for this credential is presented before the first login. In mostcases you should create the Installer credential at this point and then use it to logon at the main logon prompt.

STARTING STANLEY PAC FOR THE FIRST TIME

Windows 8

Click or touch the Stanley PAC tile.

Before the main logon screen appears you will be promptedto create a login for Alarm Alerts.

If you select Not Now, then you will be prompted later.

CHAPTER 2

AREA CONFIGURATION

In the Area Configuration stage, Door Controllers are assigned to an area.

An Area is a designated section of a facility with one or more readers,and each should be given a name, it should be something that makessense.

A brief over view of Area Management is available from the wizard page

When you assign an access group to an area, any cardholder with thataccess group is granted access to all doors into that area.

Notice there is an area called Outside and cannot be removed. It isusually used for configuring readers that leave the building.

In the Building illustration, warehouse associates may only have accessto the warehouse area. This means they can access any of the threedoors into the warehouse, between 8am and 5pm.

Office Staff have access to the lobby area, meeting room area, office 1and Office 2 areas, corridor area but not the warehouse area, betweenbetween 9am and 5pm.

Managers might have an access group that grants access 24/7 to allareas.

In the Define Access Groups stage, cardholder access to where and when is defined.

When deciding what access groups are required, you should determine how thesystem will be used by the customer. An Access Group defines the relationshipbetween the doors and the times when a user has access through them. This

might be by work function, for instance Managers, Sales Department, Maintenance andIT etc; based on where people work by building or floor, for instance or a mix of both.

Select Define Access Groups from the Wizard

Select one of the two Access Groups provided. More can be added or

removed with the + and - button

Click Next

From Access Profile 1, define the areas that this access group can accessusing the check boxes. Then apply an optional time profile that limitsbuilding access to between specific times.

If required, an Access Profile 2 can be applied with a different Time Profile.For example, in a building with exit readers, it is good practice to provide24/7 access to the outside area to avoid locking people on site after hours.

Click Next

To configure additional Access Groups,

Check Set up another access group

Otherwise, Check Return to the wizard list

Click Finish

26


CHAPTER 2

ADD CARDHOLDERS

In the Add Cardholders stage, the wizard enables quick enrolling of new users.

Cardholders are the people that use the access control system, identified to thesystem by a card, key fob or PIN (or a combination of any of these). Every person whoneeds access to the facility must have a record. Once a cardholder has been added tothe system using the USB Admin Reader, a decision can be made at each doorwhether they are permitted or denied access.

SERVICES

Stanley PAC installs and configured four 'Services' on the Host PC – these are not installed on a Client PC.

1. Communications Engine – this is the process that handles all communications with the access control devices.

2. Client Manager – this handles connections from Client PCs.

3. Event Manager – this processes events that arrive from the controllers.

4. Database Manager – this handles connections to the database

These services start when the PC starts up. The user interface does not need to be running for these services to operate. That means a PC canbe shut away and not be logged on to the network or domain, but still act as Host for the Client PCs.

These services are controlled by the Service Manager. This appears as small light brown 'door' icon ion the Windows Taskbar.

The ‘door’ icon may be hidden by default on your system, simply clicking on the ^

You can start the Service Manager by right-clicking the icon and select 'Open Service Manager

This brings up the Stanley Service Manager.

From here you can start or stop individual services. However most of the time theseshould be set to start automatically and should be running continuously.

CHAPTER 3

31

SOFTWARE INTERFACE

This is the screen you will see when you first login.

Notice the text in the bottom left 'Demo Version'. This is because the system is not yet licensed.

The System Summary indicates how many cardholders, doors etc have been used. The numbers allowed will vary with the license type. TheDemo version has very limited numbers but will work for training and demonstration purposes.

CHAPTER 3

32

SOFTWARE INTERFACE

TOOLBARAt the top of the screen is a Toolbar. This contains a Menu Bar (File, View, Tools etc) and Command Buttons (Back, Forward etc)

The Toolbar will vary depending which section of the system is being used.

When you first log in it will look something like this:

In the Hardware section, for instance, it will look something like this:

Each section has its own specific items.

EXPLORERThe section on the left of the screen is the Explorer. This can be switched on and off by pressing the Explorer command button. For most ofthe time this should be displayed. The Explorer contains three tabs:

Navigator – this is the main 'menu' for selecting the major functions.Shortcuts – this contains buttons to call other functions such Badge Designer and Audit Trail.Reports – this provides a list of reports

Above the Navigator tabs is an Organization selection. This is used when you have more than one Organization to select from.

NAVIGATORThe main menu of items is provided by the Navigator.

When you click on one of the items in the Navigator the main screen will change.You will then see a list of items and an area to make changes.

CHAPTER 3

33

SOFTWARE INTERFACE

SHORTCUTSThese include Card Designer, Audit Trail etc

This provides buttons that pop up new boxes or screens.

CHAPTER 3

34

REPORTSYou can produce a variety of comprehensive reports

SOFTWARE LICENSING

Each system needs to be licensed. In most cases you will enter a license for the edition that has been purchased. The license is generatedfrom a unique number, called the 'Fingerprint', generated by the operating system.

The license is only needed on the Host PC. You do not add licenses to client PCs. Each license includes the maximum number of clients thatcan be used at one time.

If you re-install the system on another PC at a later date you will need to re-license as the fingerprint will be different.

ADDING THE LICENSE

Click Tools in the Menu Bar, and then select Upgrade License…

The following box will appear:

CHAPTER 3

35

CHAPTER 3

36

SOFTWARE LICENSING

The Fingerprint is an 8 digit serial number unique to the computer. This is used to generate a license code. Once you

know the Fingerprint you can contact Stanley PAC Technical Support on 800-414-3038 Press 1 to obtainthe required license key, for the Starter Kit this will be a LITE Edition license key..

When you have the license key, click New License…

Enter the license key you have been given, including the dash characters, as shown. When the code is entered click OK.

You will now see the license installed:

The System Summary will now reflect the values associated with the Standard license edition.The 'Demo Version' text will also have disappeared.


INSTALLING A CLIENT PC

Installing the software on a client PC is almost the same asinstalling on the Host PC. The major difference is that nodatabase server is installed.

As part of the installation you will need to identify theHost PC. You should know the Computer Name of the HostPC before installing the client software.

The following just shows the differences between theServer and Client installations.

Insert the CD into the drive.

You will now see the following choices:

Select ‘Install Stanley PAC’.


The installation detects what components need to be in-stalled.

This process is automatic and requires no intervention – butmay take a few minutes.

Enter the Computer Name of the Host PC.

You can change this later at the user login.

CHAPTER 3

37

CHAPTER 3

38


LOGGING IN AT THE CLIENT

Once the client is installed you will have a desktop icon.

Double-click on this icon to launch the software.

You log in just as you would at the Host PC. The servername will appear and you may have a choice oforganizations.

If the server (Host PC) cannot be accessed you will see ayellow triangle next to the name.

If the server name does not work, then try entering the IPaddress of the server instead.

Once you have logged in at the client you be able toperform the same functions as the Host PC.


SYSTEM AND ORGANIZATION SETTINGS

There are several settings that should be checked before continuing to install the software. These are the System Settings andOrganization Settings.

These can be reached from the Tools – Options menu, or by form Set Organization Options on the System Summary.

SYSTEM SETTINGS

These settings are in the first group onthe left of the screen.

GENERAL

Default Backup Directory This is first set at installation but can be changed here.Make sure you choose a permanent location such as a network share.

Backup Reminder Interval If no backup is made a reminder message will appear when an operator logs in afterthe number of days set here. The default is 7 days.

Event Action Timeout This applies to Remote Event to Action programming and IP Event Links.

PIN SETTINGS

These settings apply to PIN/Prox readers, either the Stanley GS3-Series PIN or Wiegand PIN/Prox.

PIN Length Default is 9 digits. A better value is 4 or 5.

User Definable PIN Check this to allow PIN numbers to be created.

Allow PIN Change at Door When this is set the cardholder can change their PIN at the reader.

The cardholder presses * <old PIN> # <new PIN> # <new PIN> #

For example * 1234 # 4321 # 4321 #

2100/2200 SETTINGS

Communication Protection Password Not relevant for 512-Series Controllers.

CHAPTER 3

39

CHAPTER 3

40


CARD FORMAT

The Stanley GS3-LF Standard Readers supplied with the Starter Kit use the Stanley Proximity Reader card format.

The 512 door controller can support a variety of different card formats. By default the following four formats are built-in:

Stanley PAC Proximity Reader – this is used by the GS3-Series readers supplied withe the Starter Kit.Oneprox Smart Card – this is used by the GS3-Series Smart readersMag Stripe – allows a magnetic strip reader to be used and to define where in the data stream the identifying data is stored.Wiegand (2601 format) – this is the standard Wiegand format with a facility code between 0 and 255and a card number between 1 and 65535.

Event Archiving

This controls the size and storage of the event log.


EVENTS

This is where you choose what to do with older events.

Discard All Events (Do not archive) If set then old events are discarded and not stored.

Archive to File If set then events are archived to the specified file location.

ARCHIVE

This section determines when archiving occurs.

Manual Archive If this option is used then the operator is warned when the log reachesthe number of events specified. The default is 1,000,500.

Automatic Archive This option will automatically archive events older then the specified number of days.The default is 120 days.

Archiving will only occur if the minimum number of events requires archiving.

Automatic archiving is a scheduled event that occurs at 6:00pm every day.

EVENTS SUPRESSION

You may not want to log all of the events that the Stanley PAC system generates. If this is the case, you can suppress specified types ofevents, so that they are not logged. This can help to make the event log smaller and make it easier to find events.

Event suppression differs from event filtering. With event filtering, the events are logged, but are temporarily hidden when you filter theevent log. With event suppression, the events are not logged at all.

There are two types of event suppression:

Software Event Suppression The event is generated by the controller, but Stanley PAC does not log the event.

Hardware Event Suppression The event is not generated by the controller.

CHAPTER 3

41


EVENTS SUPRESSION - NEW ENTRY

Do not log events of type Use drop-down list to select the type of event that youwant to suppress

For Select whether to apply to whole system or just apart of the system

Suppress by controller hardware leave box unchecked if you want this type of event to be suppressed by the software

Add to List Add the event suppression rule to the main list

Note

Event suppression rules are hierarchical. If you suppress events from a high level part of the system, you will also suppress all events fromlower levels within that part of the system. For example, if you suppress events from a channel, events from all the controllers and doorson that channel are also suppressed.

Important

When a particular type of event is suppressed, reports that depend on that type of event may give incorrect results, and event-to-actionrules which depend on that type of event may not work.

ALARM RESPONSES

These are standard responses that can be made to alarms in the Alarm Viewer.

This requires a PAC 500 Access and Alarm Server based system.

Use the Add button to create extra responses.

CHAPTER 3

42


ORGANIZATION OPTIONS

These options can be set for each organization in the system. For more information about organizations see other documents.

Name This is the name of the Organization. It will have been first establishedwhen the system was installed.

Description Extra detail relating to the organization.

Start of Week Default is Sunday.

Time Zone This is established from the PCs operating system at installation.Adjust this if the organization is in a different time zone.

Default Card Format Default is Stanley. This is the format used by the supplied Stanley Key Fobs.

QEL200* Reader type: Default is Prox Reader. This is Wiegand 125kHz (* Stanley EL Lock or Smart Door Handle)

Show Card Colors: Select if cardholders in this organizational unit use Stanley PAC optional colored credentials

Support 2100/2200 series Not relevant for 512-Series Controllers.

E-MAIL SETTINGS

These apply only to PAC 500 Access and Alarm Server based systems that can send e-mail from Event to Action programs.

From E-mail address The 'From' address on the e-mail

SMTP Server A host name or IP address. The mail server that will forward the e-mail message.

REMOTE IP EVENT LINK DEFAULTS

These apply only to PAC 500 Access and Alarm Server based systems that can send messages to special hosts.

CHAPTER 3

43


ACCESS

Enable Denied Access Counting Default is set. This will deny access to ANY key for the Lockdown Time if a cardis denied for the number of Attempts. It is recommended that this is NOT set – at least not until users have become familiar with the system

Enable Anti-Passback Reset Time If set this will clear all anti-passback indicators at the time specified.

CUSTOM LABELS

This allows the operator to change the terms used in the system

Use with care as you will almost certainly confuse anyone trying to support the system in the future.

CHAPTER 3

44


CATEGORIES

Categories are used for several purposes in the system. They can be used for searching or classifying groups of people. The most commonuse is to define which badge design a person will have when a badge is printed.

Note

When you turn on the auto-disable feature, a message box appears warning you if any cards are about to expire. Choose OK to remove themessage.You can run the Unused Cards Due to Expire Report to see which cards are affected.

CARDHOLDER EXTRA DETAILS

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND PROGRAMMING

After the Stanley PAC Access software has been installed and licensed the next stage is to configure communications between the Host PCand the door controllers.

Before this can be attempted you should ensure that all the controllers and communication equipment have been installed and configured.

TCP/IP NETWORK

Most networks will automatically assign an IP address and other details to a PAC 512IP when it is connected to the network. These detailscan change periodically, so you must set a fixed IP address for the PAC 512IP, so Stanley PAC always knows its address.

Once the Stanley PAC software is installed, you will have a utility program that will set the IP address of the different controller types.

The utility is called Configure Device IP Addresses. This can be found under the Tools Menu , then select Launch External Tools.

CONFIGURE DEVICE IP ADDRESS

This utility will 'discover' any device on the local IP subnet. Devices which are on a different IP subnet will not be shown here.

CHAPTER 3

46


SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND PROGRAMMING

PAC 512IP

Select the PAC 512IP Tab. By default a PAC 512IP is set to obtain an IP address automatically(DHCP). It is highly recommended that a fixed IP is assigned to the device.

Note the serial number that appears in the table. This is the barcode serial number on the controller.

If you have more than one 512IP on the subnet this allows you to identify which one you are setting.

Double-click the line with the controller, or highlight the line and click Entry.

Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway then click OK.

These values must be provided by the local network administrator. Unless you have installed your own network, do not just enter numbersyou think will work.

If the PAC 512IP it fails to receive adynamic address from a DHCP serverit will assign itself an automaticaddress in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range.

CHAPTER 3

47


INSTALLING CHANNELS

Select Hardware from the Navigator.

Click the New button.

Select Create New Channel.

CHAPTER 3

48


Complete the information on the screen:

Name Each channel needs a name. It should be something that makes sense, such as the building or company name.

Channel Type TCP/IP – uses a TCP/IP network to communicate with a group of controllers.

Protocol Type PAC 200/500 Series – used when connecting to a group of PAC 512 door controllers.

Computer Name This does not change. It is set to the Computer Name of the Host PC.

When you select TCP/IP you will be prompted for an IP Address.

Click the Probe… button you will be presented with network controllers on the local subnet.

If there is more than one then use the serial number to make sure you are connecting to the one you want.

FINISH

Once you have entered all the details for your channel, click Add.

Your channel will now appear in the 'ConnectedControllers' column.

The system will automatically probe the channel forcontrollers at this point.

You can continue to add more channels at this stage.When you are finished you can add and configurecontrollers.

CHAPTER 3

49


INSTALLING 512 CONTROLLERS

The 512 controllers are configured by first probing the channel. This process should return all the controllers connected on the RS-485 bus.These are identified by their serial number. This is why it is important to note the serial number of each controller when it is installed.

512 Controllers can also be created manually and then assigned to a serial number later. This is useful if you want to create a databasebefore going to site and connecting to the controllers.

PROBING THE CHANNEL

You probe the channel by clicking the probe button at the top of the screen.

If you have more than one 512 based channel you will be prompted to select which channel or channels you wish to probe.

The probe process will start.

CHAPTER 3

50



You should now see all your controllers' serial numbers listed below the channel.

CONFIGURING THE CONTROLLER

Once you have probed the channel and identified the connected controllers, you can configure each one.

Right-click on the controller serial number you want to configure, and select Configure Controller.

The system automatically identifies the type of controller.

Type in a name for the controller – it should be meaningful.

The name will now appear in place of the serial number.

Notice the yellow triangle with the exclamation point. This indicated that the controller is communicating but not loaded. It is notnecessary to download at this point.

CHAPTER 3

51



DETAILS TAB

At the bottom of the screen you will see more details for this controller.

The Details tab contains:

Name The name entered earlier. This can be changed here if necessary.

Description Useful information on where the controller is located, for instance.

4-State Override Indicates whether the controller override input is supervised.

Online Uncheck this box to take the controller off-line.

Tip: make controllers 'offline' when the system is being programmed off site or not connected. This prevents unnecessary updates being created.

Type Defined automatically, cannot be changed.

Channel Cannot be changed here, but the controller can be unconfigured and then moved toanother channel.

Notice that there is also a larger version of the communication status icon – in this case the 'Not Loaded' yellow triangle.

If you make any changes here, click Update.

CONTROLLER TAB

This tab shows details obtained from the controller, including the serial number and firmware version.

This informational, and nothing can be changed.

CHAPTER 3

52



DOORS TAB

This tab shows the doors connected to the controller. At this stage they have default names. Door configuration is performed later.

MANUAL CONFIGURATION

If you have created the controllers manually at an earlier stage, then you click and drag the record from the table and drop it on theappropriate serial number.

CHAPTER 3

53


DOWNLOADING A DOOR CONTROLLER

Whenever a door controller is added or changed, or if substantial changes are made to the system then a controller will need a download.The system may pop up a message or an indication (a yellow triangle) will appear next to the controller.

In this example the 'Server Room' controller is not loaded. This means it needs a download.

Right click on the controller:

Select Download Controller Database.

You have some options before the download proceeds:

Collect remaining events before starting the download.Unlock Doors during download.

In most cases leave these checked. Click OK.

CHAPTER 3

54


When complete you will see the 'not loaded' indicators clear. The controller will now be considered as 'loaded'.

If there is a large database to download then you will see progress events on the Event Log Viewer.

CHAPTER 3

55


CREATING AREAS

Areas are used for controlling access. All doors will beconfigured to give access to an area. You should create theareas you will be using in the system before configuringdoors.

You will notice there is an area called Outside. This ispresent in all systems and cannot be removed. It is usuallyused for configuring readers that leave the building.

ADDING AN AREA

Use the Navigator to select Area

Click the New button.

At this stage only an area Name is needed. Click Add.

Check the box for 'This area can be used in personal access…' if you want operators in other organizations to be able to assign accessto this area. This is only necessary when the system consists of multiple organizations.

Add as many areas as you need.

CHAPTER 3

56


CREATING TIME AND MODE PROFILES

Time and mode profiles are used to control a variety of features within the system. There are four types of profile, three can be used by theStarter Kit:

Simple Time Profiles These are profiles that consist of times and days and can be applied to many functions.They are the only type of profile that can be used in access groups.

Door Mode Profile This profile controls the function of a door, including locking, unlocking, first unlock, bolt and anti-passback. These profiles can only be applied to a door connected to a 512 controller.

Reader Mode Profile This controls which combination of Card or PIN is needed at a combined PIN/Prox readers.It can also control whether two cards are needed for access.

Individual profiles can be used for many functions – described below. However it is recommended that you create a separate profile foreach function. For instance you could use the same profile to control a door and for access using an access group. However if the profile ischanged for the door then the access group will be changed at the same time, probably without the operator realizing.

HOLID AYS

All the time and mode profiles described below can be overridden on holidays. A holiday is usually a normal work day when you do notwant a regular event to occur. Typically you do not want a door to unlock on the holiday, or people to access certain areas.

Holidays are usually determined once a year. Each year somebody should be responsible for updating the next year's holidays.

There can be multiple holiday profiles. If there is more than one business in the system then each could observe different holidays throughthe year.

Holidays can start and end at a certain time of day.

Use the Navigator to go to Holiday Profiles.

Click on New

Enter a Name for the Holiday profile.

To add a holiday, click the Add Holiday button.

57

CHAPTER 3

57

58


CREATING TIME AND MODE PROFILES

To add a holiday, click the Add Holiday button.

Give each holiday a Name, e.g. New Years Day, Thanksgiving etc.

Enter a Start and End date and time. Single day holidays have the same start and end date. Longer holidays will have a later end date. Inthe example shown here, the New Year holiday starts at 1pm on New Year's Eve. If the start and end date do not work, then a yellow warn-ing triangle appears on the name.

Keep adding holidays until you have a year or more defined.

Beware of the Add +1 Year button. This button will advance the dates by one year. However this rarely gives the correct dates!Make sure the dates for the New Year are correct and adjust using the calendar if necessary.

CHAPTER 3

58


SIMPLE TIME PROFILE

This is the basic time profile that can be applied to several functions.

Use the Navigator to go to Time & Mode Profiles.

Click on New

Select Create New Simple Time Profile.

Enter a Name and Description.

Times are shown in 24 hour (or military) format.

CHAPTER 3

59


The profile can now be defined by 'painting' different period into the days of the week. For instance a profile to restrict some employees toenter an area only between 7am and 6pm, Monday to Friday would look something like this:

The periods are created by clicking at the start time of the day and dragging to the end of the period.

Periods can be copied by right-clicking and selecting Copy, then right clicking in a new area and clicking Paste.

Periods can be adjusted by dragging either end, or by modifying the values in the boxes at the bottom.

Periods can also be copied by holding down the Ctrl key and dragging the period to another day.

Periods will wrap around the end of one day to the beginning of the next. They will also wrap around the end of the week to thebeginning.

HOLIDAY TAB

If you want to define what happens with this profile on a holiday, select the Holiday tab.

Select the Holiday Profile that will apply.

In the white bar draw the pattern that will apply. If you want nothing to happen then leave the bar blank. If you want the profile to beactive but at a different time form normal then draw a period in the bar.

When you have created the profile, click Add.

CHAPTER 3

60


DOOR MODE PROFILES

These profiles can only be applied to doors and control when a door locks and unlocks, whether it is subject to 'First Open', bolted or cov-ered by anti-passback. These features are described in more detail below.


Click on New

Select Create New Door Mode Profile.

This looks similar to the Simple Time Profile, except that instead of a plain green bar for when the period is active, there is a specific func-tion. This function is described in the color code.

You can change the function of a period by selecting a mode:

The modes for a door mode profile are:

Open The door will unlock at the start and lock again at the end.This is the same effect as using a simple time profile.

First Open The door will remain locked after the start time. It will not unlock until a person with a specific access group setting enters. After that person enters the door will remain unlocked. This is used for 'snow days' or 'supervisor first' applications. The door will lock again at the en of the period.

Bolted The door will be bolted – nobody's key will work unless they have a special override.This is more commonly used for emergencies – such as lock down.

Anti-passback Sets local controller anti-passback on a door.

CHAPTER 3

61


The completed Door Mode Profile may look something like this:

HOLIDAY TAB



In the white bar draw the pattern that will apply. If you want nothing to happen then leave the bar blank. If you want the profile to be activebut at a different time form normal then draw a period in the bar. For a door mode profile you will typically want the door locked (secured),so leave the bar blank.

Click Add.

Door mode profiles are applied in Door - <door name> - Details.

CHAPTER 3

62


READER MODE PROFILE

Reader modes profiles cover the use of PIN/Prox readers and the use of two cards for access.


Click on New

Select Create New Reader Mode Profile.

This example allows a Pin/Prox reader to be used with a card only during working hours, but a Card and PIN is needed at other times.

The modes that can be selected are:

PIN Just requires a PIN to be entered to allow access.

Card A card only is required to gain access.

PIN or Card Either a card or PIN will gain access. This is useful if you want to give visitors a code to reach certain parts of the building without having to issue cards. Staff can use their cards. The PIN can be changed from time to time.

PIN and Card A card has to be presented and a PIN entered to gain access.

Two Card Access Two valid cards need to be presented to gains access.

CHAPTER 3

63


HOLIDAY TAB



In the white bar draw the pattern that will apply. If you want nothing to happen then leave the bar blank. If you want the profile to be activebut at a different time form normal then draw a period in the bar.

Click Add.

Reader mode Profiles are applied in Door - <door name> - Access.

CHAPTER 3

64


CONFIGURING DOORS

Before configuring doors make sure you have created areas and any time or mode profiles that may be needed.

When a door controller is configured the system automatically creates the number of doors that controller supports.

Each door is given a default name in the form <door controller name_Door_n> where n is the door number between 1 and 2.

There are two routes to configuring doors. In Hardware each door is displayed under its door controller. This is the most convenient wayfor the installer to navigate through the system. There is also a Door selection in the Navigator. This lists the doors in alphabetical orderand is the method most useful to the operator of the system.

DOORS

Use the Navigator to go to Hardware.

If the doors do not appear then click on the small + sign next to the controller. Notice that the doors have their default names.

Highlight the door to be configured. The door information will appear at the bottom of the screen.

DOOR - DETAILS TAB

Name Change the default name to something that makes sense.This name will appear in the event log so should be meaningful to the operator.

Description Useful information about the door.

Door Profile Select a door profile, if need. Only Door Mode Profile and Simple Time Profiles will be listed.

Door Status Displays the current state of the door and theUse Count – the total number of times the door has been opened.

CHAPTER 3

65


DOOR TASKSThere is a Tasks button next to the door name. This provides several commands that be sent to the door.

These commands, in a slightly different order, can also be selected by right-clicking on the door in the Connected Controllers list.

Secure Door (Lock) This means Lock the door. If the door is unlocked, either manually or by a time profiles,this will lock the door.

Open Door… (Unlock) This will unlock the door.

The door can be unlocked indefinitely or for a set number of minutes – maximum 255.

Bolt Door This will bolt the door. No cards will work unless the cardholder has a specific access group. Often used for lock down in emergencies.

A door can also be bolted by an external input – see Auxiliary I/O.

Normal Door Operation Returns door to operate normally based on its current profile. Use this after locking orunlocking a door manually.

Set Mode… This will override the current profile.

The mode can be set indefinitely or for a number of minutes – maximum 255.

Open Once Will release the door for the lock release time.Often done to let somebody without a key enter an area.

Issue Request to Exit Same as Open Once

Reset Use Count Sets the Use Count to zero.

CHAPTER 3

66


CONFIGURING DOORS - DOOR - ACCESS TAB

This tab sets the reader type and also which areas are controlled.

PAC READER TYPE

Reader Type Stanley Proximity – this is any reader with a single conductor PAC signal output.Select this type for the Stanley GS3-LF Standard Reader.

SIG A (PAC) Select the area controlled by the reader connected to SIG A. If two readers are in use on this door this will usually be the entry reader.

SIG B (PAC) Select the area controlled by the reader connected to SIG B. If two readers are in use on this door this will usually be the exit reader.

If only one reader is in use on this door it will be connected to SIG A.

Profile If using a PIN/Prox reader select a Reader Profile from the list.For most conventional readers leave this set to None.

(No) Reader Connected This is automatically set when an area is selected.If there is no reader on this connection check No reader connected.

Note: whenever an area is changed a download will need to be sent to the controller.

CHAPTER 3

67


CONFIGURING DOORS - DOOR - CONFIGURATION TAB

This tab allows you to configure features of each door.

Lock Release Time The time in seconds for which the lock will be released when a valid card is presented,or the RTE button is pressed. Default is 5 seconds.

Failsafe Check this box if the lock is fail-safe. Magnetic locks are fail-safe; door strikes areusually fail-secure.

Mode Normal – RTE will operate the lock

RTE No Lock – the RTE input will not operate the lock. Usually used with Motion devices.

Door Monitoring Check this box if a door contact is being used.

Door Open Time The time in seconds after which a Door Left Open alarm is generated.

Logging Mode Card Presentation – access is logged as soon as a valid card is presented.

Door Opened – access is logged if a valid card is presented and the door opens.

CHAPTER 3

68


CREATING ACCESS GROUPS

Access groups are used to define where and when a cardholder has access. The 'where' is determined by selecting one or more areas; the'when' by a time profile.

Access can also be given to a cardholder through Personal Access. This is where an individual is given a list of one or more areas andperhaps a time profile. Personal Access is a useful tool for making small adjustments to a person's access. However it should be usedcarefully as it also makes large scale changes to the access system more difficult.

Before creating access groups you should have some idea of how access is to be organized. This might be by work function, for instanceJanitors, Maintenance and IT etc; or based on where people work by building or floor, for instance. There is no right or wrong way ofprogramming access. However there are some guide lines that may be considered.

Identify areas of common access where all cardholders are likely to given access.Example - Lobbies, cafeteria, etc.

Identify specially secure or sensitive areasExample - IT equipment rooms, HR offices etc.

Try and keep the total number of groups to a minimum. If an individual has a special requirement not covered by an existingaccess group, consider using personal access rather than creating a new access group for one person.

Do not over use personal access. It can be tempting not to use access groups but assign everyone personal access. This approachcould lead to problems if the system or building changes and new doors or areas are added. If you have used personal accessentirely then you may have to modify hundreds of individuals, instead of modifying a few access groups.

Avoid 'micro-managing'. Sometimes operators get carried away and set complex access groups with time profiles to preciseminutes. This will just frustrate and irritate cardholders and could negate any security benefits the system should bring.

CHAPTER 3

69



ADDING AN ACCESS GROUP

Use the Navigator to go to Access Group.

Click New.

ACCESS GROUPS - DETAILS TAB

Name Create a clear name for this group that gives some idea of its purpose.

Description Extra detail that may be useful to other operators

Organizations Check this box if you want to allow operators in other Organizations to assign this group.For further details see 'Using Organizations'.

ACCESS GROUPS - ACCESS TAB

This is where the access programming is done.

An Access group consists of one or two lists of areas each controlled by a Time Profile.

CHAPTER 3

70



Check Profile 1

Select a Time Profile from the list.

Only Simple Time Profiles are presented in this list. If this group needs 24/7 access then set the time profile to (None). This means there isno time restriction.

Check the Areas that will be allowed access.

Use the Select All or Clear All buttons if needed.

If a second profile is needed then check Profile 2 and select a Time Profile and Areas.

ACCESS GROUPS – ADVANCED TAB

There are three groups of features that depend on the type of system in use.

CHAPTER 3

71


PAC 200/500 SERIES CONTROLLER OPTIONS

These features apply to any 512 controller.

A cardholder who has an access group with one or more of these features checked will be able to:

Ignore bolted doors If a door is 'bolted' then no card will work, except for cardholders who have this feature. Useful for security or maintenance.

Ignore anti-passback A cardholder with this feature will not be affected by any anti-passback settings.Useful for security or maintenance.

Ignore dead bolted doors Only applies to special lock types not available in this product.

Ignore 'Two card access' Mode If this feature is set then the cardholder can get access even when'two card' access is set.

CONDITIONAL PAC 200/500 OPTIONS

Available on 512 controller provided no other options such as anti-passback are set.

Allow Passage Mode If the cardholder unlocks a door and then presents their card again while the door is unlocked (green led is on) then the door will remain unlocked. When the card is presented later then the door will lock again. Useful for classrooms and meeting rooms.

Allow First Card Unlock If a door is controlled by a door mode profile that includes 'First Open', then a cardholder with this setting will cause the door to remain open when they enter. This is best applied to a person such as a receptionist who will be greeting non-cardholders.

Click Add

CHAPTER 3

72


CARDHOLDERSBefore adding cardholders make sure you have the following items in place:

A USB Admin reader – unless you are entering codes manually from a Wiegand Credential

Access Groups have been created.

Any 'Extra Information' fields have been defined.

If you are printing badges then badge designs should have been created.

Define any Categories you may use, especially if printing badges

There is a lot of information that can be stored with each cardholder. It is rare that all items of information will be used in a any system.Most systems will operate with just the essential information. The minimum information needed to operate the system effectively includes:

First and Last name of the cardholder

Card

Access Group and/or Personal Access

NEW CARDHOLDER

Use the Navigator to go to Cardholder.

In a newly installed system you will notice that Installer is already present. This is the default cardholder for the operator.

Click New.

CHAPTER 3

75


CARDHOLDER – DETAILS TAB

Each cardholder can have one or more cards. In most cases you just need to present their card or fob to the enrollment reader and thecode will be displayed.

PIN SETTINGS

There are two places where you see the PIN code. This is used when you have PIN Prox readers. The PIN is displayed as number of '*'characters. To see the PIN in either location, click in the box to reveal the number.

The setting at the top with the Set PIN button is for the GS3-Series PIN Proximity or other PIN/Prox readers attached to a 512 controller.Click Set PIN to create a PIN.

The PIN displayed in next to the PAC Card number is the 4digit number used with older generation PAC PIN readers (K2001P & SP). Thisnumber is based on the PAC card number and cannot be changed.

75


CARDHOLDER – ACCESS GROUPS TAB

Select an Access Group from the list.

CARDHOLDER – GUEST ACCESS TAB

This section will appear if you have more than one organization in the system. See 'Organizations' for more detail.

CARDHOLDER – PERSONAL ACCESS TAB

Personal Access allows you to add one more areas and time profile to an individual. This can be used to give someone access to additionalareas without creating a new access group. See 'Access Groups' for more information about assigning access.

CARDHOLDER – NOTES TAB

This is an area in which you can add any extra information that is relevant to the cardholder. A history of cards issued or changes made toaccess, for instance.

CHAPTER 3

76


CARDHOLDER – EXTRA INFORMATION TAB

This tab only appears if you have created extra fields in Organization Options.

CARDHOLDER – EVENTS TAB

This display can be useful to find out where a person is located.

SEARCHING CARDHOLDERS

You can search the cardholder database in several ways.

Click the Search button

This will bring up the search criteria section of the screen.

You can enter names, or parts of names, categories or access groups.

Check the card number box to present a card to the enrollment reader.

Extra Information can also be searched, if present.

If there is more than one organization then you can search across these by clicking the link 'Search Organizations…'

The Reset button will clear the criteria for another search.

Click the search button again or press Cancel to hide the screen again.

CHAPTER 3

77

78


THE F3 BUTTON

This will bring up a box and allow you to search for a card number.

DELETE A CARDHOLDER

It is easy to find a cardholder then press the delete button.

This will immediately remove their card and all details from the system.

However it may be wiser to NOT delete a record when you want to disable a card. If you delete a card then any attempt touse that card in the future will just bring up and 'Unknown ID' event. There will be no indication that a particular cardholder isstill using that card. Also it will be harder to search back through the event history for a card that is no longer in the database.

Instead you might consider one or more of the following instead of deleting a cardholder:

Disable the card or cards in the Cards tab

Set the End date to 'yesterday'. This will disable the card by date.

Remove all Access Groups – including any Personal or Guest access.

Any or all of these will stop the card (or cards) working while still leaving a record of the attempted use.

Three main areas of functionality:

1. Cardholder AdministrationView Cardholders (Filter by date or category)Add/Delete CardholdersEnroll CredentialsApply existing Access Groups and Personal Access

2. Realtime Event ViewerFilter by date or category

3. ReportsRun any Stanley PAC from the web browser

INSTALLATION - WEB APPLICATION

You will now see the ‘What’s next Screen’

You can choose the install the Optional Web Browser Application

Select ‘Install the Browser Application’.

If you accidently closed the ‘What’s next Screen’ window, you can alwayslaunch the installer from the Installer Menu, by clicking on the ExploreUSB Drive and opening the Stanley PAC folder

Double-click ‘WebSetup.exe’ to launch the installer.

If you want to access the Web Application from outside of your Local Area Network using Port 80, unless you pay extra to your ISP for aStatic Address, your external IP address will eventually change. This may be only when your modem is reset, but it could happen at any timeor not for years.

One way around this is to use a name hosting service such as no-ip.com. Software is installed on your PC or routers which notifies theservice when your IP changes. Then you use a link to their website instead of any IP address.Stanley PAC does not need to know you are using a name hosting service. You will always still have an IP address - the name is just an alias.
