Secure Perfect 6.1.1 User Manual

15

Enable ‘Valid No Passage’: This option is configured on the

Reader Form, Reader

tab. Select this

checkbox if you want your Secure Perfect system to notify you when a valid badge read occurs but the
door did not open within the configured sense time. This may be an indication of a duress situation,
someone deciding not to pass through the door, or an accidental read as someone passes a reader.

This feature must be associated with an alarm type of door forced or door held in order to be notified
of a change in state of the door.

In order to notify of a duress situation,

Grant Access on Duress

must be configured.

New in 6.1:

Guard Tour:
This feature makes use of two new forms in Secure Perfect,

Guard Tours

and

Tour Point

. A Guard Tour

is an inspection of your facility premises, by a security guard. The officer stops at pre-determined tour
points along the way, where a digital input (DI) is triggered or a badge is presented to a reader so that the
Secure Perfect system can track the tour progress. Each time a badge is presented to a reader, a tour
point is ‘hit.’ DIs can also be assigned as tour points. An additional tab has been added to the

Manual

Control

form. The

Guard Tour tab

of the Manual Control form displays the status of Guard Tours

configured in your Secure Perfect system. Select a Guard Tour to display tour details and tour points. An
occasion may arise that requires a tour to be started, paused, resumed, or stopped manually. This
feature and related forms are not available for input if you are not licensed for Guard Tour.
Global Edition Enhancements:

Database Server and Fileserver Redundancy: Global Editions systems can be configured for
database redundancy, at the Region level. A Regional Database Server can be configured to have
backup servers. Refer to the Backup Regions tab of the Region Form. If a client is not able to connect
to its Regional Database Server for any reason, it fails over to the backup Regional Server.
Regional database redundancy and fileserver redundancy operate independently. One or the other, or
both can fail at the same time, whether they reside on the same server computer or are configured to
reside on separate computers.

Client Region Failover: If you have Region backups configured, all clients in that region, by default,
will fail over to the backup Region when the system detects that it cannot access the database. You
might choose to clear this checkbox on the Client tab of the Client form, to prevent nonessential client
failover and keep extra traffic on your system network to a minimum.

Alarms:

Alarm Bumping and Routing: The Client Group Form allow you to assign Secure Perfect computers
into logical

Client Groups

. Then,

Alarms can be routed

to these Client Groups by time schedule or at

all times. Additionally, alarms can be ‘bumped’ (forwarded) to one or more additional Client Groups
when alarms are unacknowledged and unpurged within configured time limits.

Alarm Graphics Enhancements: Alarm Graphics can now be configured for digital inputs and digital
outputs. The

Alarm Graphics Viewer

displays active status. Right-click menu options display newly

enhanced functionality. Operators for the Alarm Graphics Viewer must be assigned ‘Update’ and
facility permissions in order to select right-click menu options. For shortcut menu functionality, rest
your mouse pointer on an assigned point and right-click. The shortcut menu that displays with a right-
click mouse button depends on the Point Type assigned to the point. The options allow manual control
of doors.

Duress: This selection determines whether the door will open when a duress PIN code (with the final
digit incremented by + 1) is entered with a valid badge. This feature is configured for your Secure
Perfect system on the

Parameters Form, Settings Tab

.

Event Trigger Updates:

Assigning Intrusion Zones to an Event Trigger: The

Intrusion Zone tab

on the Event Trigger form

allows you to assign Intrusion Zones and Intrusion Zone transaction type(s) that will trigger an event.

Extended Unlock Time Options:
Extended unlock time is enabled on the

Personnel Tab

of the Person Form. When this option is selected,

enabled

badges

associated with a

Person record

allow extra time to gain access to an entry or exit point.

Extended times (in minutes and seconds) are configured and assigned on the

Door Functions tab of the

Reader Form

. For example, if a door is used by disabled persons or the reader is mounted at a distance

from the door, a longer unlock time may be required to exit or enter.
