What’s New in Secure Perfect

New in 6.1.1 ONLY:

Configure APB Status by Region: This feature allows you to configure APB readers across Regions or within a specific Region only. If configured across Regions, entering a Region activates the badge only in that region and disables the badge in all other Regions.

Micro Connection Type Network + Direct Communication: This is a new network configuration option selectable on the Micro Form, Micro Definition tab. This selection allows a micro that loses network connection to fail over to a serial connection. On the Micro Utility Form, a network micro normally displays an IP address in the Comm device column. When a network micro loses connection, the Alarm Monitor Form displays a Host Comm alarm. After approximately two minutes, the alarm resets and the serial connection begins communications. The Micro Utility Form Comm device column now displays the Comm port.

Micro Connection Type Network + Network: This is a new network configuration option selectable on the Micro Form, Micro Definition tab. This selection allows a micro that loses network connection to fail over to a secondary network connection. When a network micro loses connection, Alarm Monitor Form displays a Host Comm alarm. After approximately two minutes, the alarm resets and network communications begin. The Micro Utility Form Comm device column now displays the backup IP address or network name, as assigned on the Micro Form, Port Settings tab.

Alarm Graphics Viewer Window is a Separate Application: The window launches independently from the Secure Perfect application and can be moved outside of the Secure Perfect window area. This is useful for dual-display monitors or wide monitor display.

Suspend Badge After Invalid PIN Attempts: This option is configured on the Reader tab of the Reader Form. Select Max Invalid PIN Count and enter a number between 1 and 6 as the number of times an invalid PIN can be entered at a reader before the badge is suspended. If the badge is suspended, the badge must be reset to Active by a system administrator.

DVR Search - Play Single Recorded Frame: The Search Results windowpane in DVR Search returns a list of recorded video event tags based on the search parameter criteria specified. Select an event tag from the list and right-click to display a shortcut menu. The shortcut menu has been expanded to include Play Single Recorded Frame. When selected, a single image displays in the video window. This is the first frame of the event recording displayed as a still photo. To play the rest of the video clip, unpause the video on the DVR Viewer.

Two New Micro Types: MicroPXNPlus or MicroPXNPlus 2000 are selectable on the Micro Form, Micro Definition tab. A board provides direct, dial-up, and network capabilities in one board. The network supports Ethernet only. The board also has an integrated modem option which means that the modem is a chip that can be ordered with the board or added at a later date. This modem can also be used as dial- up fallback to a network board. Both boards support the following reader boards, 2RP, 2SRP, 8RP, and CK8RP. The boards provide nonvolatile storage that provides faster reset recovery and allows hostless operation. A new Web Integrated Configuration Tool was created for flashing these micro types, eliminating the need to install Flashtool on each computer in order to download and flash the micros.

Database Connection: This feature is configured on the Parameter Form, Settings tab. This feature allows you to configure the amount of time that elapes before your Secure Perfect system retries the connection and considers that the database is not accessable.

•Timeout (sec): The default is 30 seconds. The minimum is 3 seconds; the maximum is 120 seconds. 1) In a Secure Perfect Global Edition configuration, this is the amount of time until a Regional failover begins. 2) In a typical Secure Perfect configuration, this is the amount of time before Secure Perfect transactions are saved, Secure Perfect services shut down, and a message advises you to repair your database.

•Retry: The default is 3 retries. The minimum is ‘0’; the maximum is 5 retries.
