Guardian Technologies Ademco VISTA-40 - Manual (Page 91)

Р 91 Р
¥ A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the partition he is
assigned.
¥ User numbers must be entered as 2-digit entries. Single digit user numbers
must, therefore, always be preceded by a "0" (example, 03, 04, 05, etc.). Make
sure the end user understands this requirement. Temporary codes are entered
as 4-digit numbers.
Important!: Unless Ademco Contact ID reporting is used, only user codes
#1Ð#15 can uniquely report to the central station using the communication
formats provided. Users #16Ð#70 will report as User #15, if enabled for
open/close reporting, for the other reporting formats.
Multiple Partition Access
Examples
(GOTO Function)
To make a partitioned environment particularly useful, the system must allow for
certain people to have access to other partitions. This is particularly true in the
Factory/Office environment where the president of the company wants access to
any area of his company. The VISTA-40 has total flexibility in supporting this
requirement. On a USER basis, each user is programmed for a base partition (the
one he normally is assigned) and the other partition which he can be authorized
to access.
In addition, within each partition, each USER may be programmed to have
different levels of authority. For example, User #3, the V.P. of Engineering,
could be assigned to work within the Engineering Department (Partition 1) of
ABC Manufacturing. Since he needs the full capabilities in his area, he is
assigned as a MASTER with Level 1 authority. This means he may Arm, Disarm,
Bypass, Add or Modify users in partition 1. It is also a requirement that he be able
to gain access to the manufacturing area (partition 2) on an emergency basis. You
can set this up easily with the VISTA-40 by now requesting that he also be
assigned to partition 2, with a level of authority set lower, such as Level 4
(OPERATOR Level B) which allows him to Arm and Disarm, but nothing else. The
control will automatically assign him the next available user number within partition
2 and does not require reprogramming of his already existing 4 digit security
code! This type of setup can be done for each user of the system and for any
combination of up to 2 partitions.
EXAMPLE OF MULTIPLE PARTITION ACCESS
Part 1 Part 2
User 3 User 5
Level 1 Level 4
Master Oper B
In the above example, User 3 has MASTER authority in partition 1 and
OPERATOR B authority in partition 2. His user number in partition 2 is User 5 and
his 4 digit code is the same for both partitions. If a user number is already being
used in a partition, the system will automatically assign another, unused User
number.
Assigning users to the other partition is one thing, but how about actually being a
user and trying to "see" one of the other partitions? The VISTA-40 has
developed a simple key sequence (code + [*] + partition number 0Ð2; partition 0
returns to the default partition for that keypad) for a user to go to another partition.
Once there, the current display becomes attached to that partition and status
requests, etc., are now displayed for that partition, unless a period of 120
seconds elapses with no key entries. To return to your original partition, you may
enter the same key sequence and end it with your normal partition number or "0".
You're now back to where you started. It's that simple! You may view this
operation as a big selector switch and you are at the switch at the keypad.
EXAMPLE:
User may be regularly assigned to partition 1. This would be the default display
for this user, however he may "select" to go to partition 2 for example. (Assumes
he has been programmed for access to partition 2.) The user enters his normal
access code and the proper sequence to select another partition followed by the
number 2 for partition 2. The display will now select partition 2 information for view
and further action.
