NOTE: Due to networking restrictions built into the Home versions of Windows operating
systems, Doors.Net software is NOT compatible with any Home version of Windows XP,
Windows Vista, or Windows 7. Doors.NET IS compatible with the Business, Pro-
fessional, and Ultimate versions (both 32-bit and 64-bit) of Windows XP, Windows Vista,
and Windows 7.
New Features:
l
Implements the Mercury Inside/NXT firmware feature set which enables a new set
of features for applications with more sophisticated and customized requirements.
This broadens the scope of NXT hardware capability such that it makes it a good
choice for high-end and Enterprise applications as well as mid-sized projects.
l
Implements the Global Lock/Unlock feature which allows a defined input (either
hardware or as part of the user interface) to immediately lock or unlock selected
doors in the access control network regardless of any current lock or unlock status.
l
Implements Block Enrollment which allows an Operator to create a generic set of
credentials (using consecutive credential numbers) that can be, in turn, issued on
an as-needed basis.
l
Improves/Simplifies the Software Installer. This revision reduces the number of
installation options and adjusts the order of operation to simplify and streamline the
installation process. It checks the host computer to ensure the computer meets soft-
ware operation guidelines and includes acknowledgement windows so the
installer can double-check the installation parameters before starting the install-
ation. For upgrade installations it remembers previous installation settings and
applies these settings as the defaults for the upgrade. For software upgrades of
existing installations it checks the firmware version of installed hardware and noti-
fies the installer if firmware upgrades are required.
l
Implements NXT controller auto-configuration over a Wide Area Network (WAN)
without the need of additional gateways for each subnet. This allows NXT con-
trollers in one installation to be located on different subnets, but to still be recog-
nized and auto-configured by the Doors.NET program. Previously, one gateway
would be needed for each subnet to provide a communication path from the host
computer to the remotely located controllers. This feature requires that IP routing is
correctly configured between the subnets using their internal IP addresses.
l
Adds support for the following features to Eclipse software and the Mercury hard-
ware/gateway:
l
First Person In
l
Auto Unlock Schedule
l
Dual Verification
l
Mask-During-Schedule
l
Follow Schedule
l
Set Holidays by Controller
l
Link Actions on Monitor Point
l
Various new scheduling options for Control Points and Monitor Points
