Feature Set Information
- Panel Version: Set this to match the actual
panel (firmware) revision level for panels
associated with this account (all panels for each
account must be at the same firmware revision
level).
Notes: With VEREX Director v4.4, panel firmware
versions to be supported within an account is set
through the new account wizard. If the panel version
is set incorrectly, you will be unable to communicate
with the panel(s). Panel firmware information can be
found on the system (general) configuration screen
after the 1
st communication attempt.
Related Topics:  "System Settings for each Panel"
(in a following section).  "Panel Communications and
Updates" (in a previous section).
Note: Some features may be supported only after
upgrading to the latest firmware revision (typically to
match the software revision).
- Feature Set: (formerly "Memory Model") The
memory configuration to use with all panels
associated with this site/account. This
determines the system capacities for this
account (see "Columns...", to follow).
Suites, Elevators: Support for suite-security keypads
and/or elevator controllers requires a 'feature set'
selection of 5 or higher (via Enterprise software
licensing).
Bell 103 Connections: For panels that will connect
through their built-in dialler (Bell 103 300 baud
modem), the feature-set must be 1-3 (single panel
system, up to 300 users). This also requires a USR
Sportster 56K modem at the PC (for compatibility with
the initialization string).
-(Columns of items): This shows the system
capacities associated with your selected
"Feature Set".
Related Topic: "System Capacities".
If you cannot select a specific 'feature set', this means
that it is not supported by your software licensing.

Panel Memory: For some feature sets, panels require
additional memory (as indicated at the top of each
column).
 Setup 
Master Panel
- [Change Master Panel]: For a multi-panel
account, this identifies one panel to be
referenced for common panel settings (users,
etc.) during a "Get From Panel" database
update.
For details on transferring settings, refer to "Panel
Communications and Updates".
Global Account Options
-Allow PIN Duress: Whether or not users will
have the option (at system keypads, and
readers set for card / UID +PIN entry) to indicate
they are being forced to enter by reversing the
last two digits of their PIN. This will be logged
as a duress alarm.
- Panic Token Sends Duress ( V4.4) : This sets
detection of panic tokens to be transmitted as a
duress alarm. (Otherwise, it will be logged
locally, but not transmitted. (Also see next
item.)
Tip: Whether or not a card/token will be treated as a
'panic token' is set in the authorities assigned to the
specific user (card/token).
-------------------------
- Display Card Number: This shows the card
number for each user (and/or hides user-ID
references) in event messages, reports, and
other locations (e.g., fallback users screen);
- Synchronize panel time daily ( V4.5): Each
panel keeps track of time independently.
Beginning with V4.5, a selection is provided that
synchronizes all panel time clocks in an account
with the Director server PC. This occurs
overnight around 3:00 am.
For sites that include camera(s) associated with doors
and/or sensors (for "Video Events"), this 'time sync'
feature is selected automatically--and cannot be
unselected. This ensures time-stamps associated
with camera images will be synched correctly across
all cameras.
- Enable User In/Out Status for this Account:
This turns user In/Out status tracking on and off.
(Default = Enabled.) If this feature is not
needed, you can unselect it to free up Director
server resources.
Note: This selection is needed for the following
features:
+ User In/Out status tracking (in Control & Status);
+ Time & Attendance Reports;
+ Roll Call (and Instant Roll Call) reports.
- PIN Mode: Whether user-PINs (for use at
reader keypads, and system (LCD/LED)
keypads will be four or five digits long;
Notice -- "Shared Users": With users assigned
across multiple accounts ("Shared Users";
V4.2
Director), the PIN Mode and User Logon Mode will be
locked here. Related Settings:
