APB Region Configuration Tab - Region Form

Use this tab to identify APB IN and APB OUT readers, and configure the APB behavior across Regions.

APB Entering Region: This listbox displays those readers that have been selected as APB IN readers for the selected Region.

Assign: Click to assign APB IN readers to this region. Only readers previously configured as APB IN readers are displayed for selection.

APB Exiting Region: This listbox displays those readers that have been selected as APB OUT readers for the selected Region.

Assign: Click to assign APB OUT readers for this region. Only readers previously configured as APB OUT readers are displayed for selection.

It may not be required or significant for the micros in a Region to report status to another Region. Select from one of the following notification options:

1.Retain APB Status Across Regions: This is the default of three status options. If selected, the APB status is recognized across all Regions in the Secure Perfect Global system. A badge can be presented at an APB IN reader in one Region and at an APB OUT reader in a second Region. (Enable Global APB must be selected on the Parameter Form.)

2.Invalidate Badge Across Regions: If selected, this option disables the badge in all other regions when a person enters the selected Region by presenting the badge at an APB IN reader. The Activity Monitor displays ‘Invalid APB IN’ or ‘Invalid APB OUT’ if you attempt to enter in or out of any other Region. When a person exits the selected Region and the badge is presented at an APB OUT reader, the badge becomes enabled in all other Regions. (Enable Global APB must be selected on the Parameter Form.)

Example: Employees badging IN at a Miami office are tracked and not allowed to badge IN to another location until they have presented their badge at an APB OUT reader in Miami.

3.Ignore APB Status Across Regions: If selected, the APB status is local to the selected Region and status is retained within the Region. Regions are independent of each other and the status is not recognzed by another Region.
