LogFile Form

Reference Topics:

LogFile Tab

Diagnostics Overview


The LogFile Form allows you to select a computer in your Secure Perfect network, set up a new logfile
(establish an identity for the file), and designate a path and directory in which to place your LogFile. All
log files should be saved in the

Secure Perfect/Logs

folder; it will be easier to locate for backups

and upgrades. It is a shared folder, which means other clients can gain access to the log files.
Each client computer will have a set of diagnostic objects that represent what can be monitored on that
machine. Diagnostic objects can be controlled remotely (turned on or off). All diagnostic objects can write
messages to a common default logfile or any diagnostic object can write to a separate log file created
and defined by the user.
Before any logfile can be deleted from Secure Perfect, you must re-assign diagnostic objects to another
logfile.

Mode Schedule Form

Reference Topic:

Mode Schedule Tab


Mode schedules define the date and time a mode goes into effect. The purpose of a mode is to allow the
micros to operate differently than predefined for Normal mode (

Monday through Sunday

, which is the

default mode of the Secure Perfect system). Operating modes are an administrative decision, as each

facility

has unique requirements. For each mode, Secure Perfect micros will control its devices such as

readers and doors in a predefined way.

You may have a schedule configured, but never see a schedule change if you do not have the

schedule associated with an Alarm Routing and Bumping configuration.

Description: Click Search to edit an existing mode schedule or click New to add a new mode schedule.

The Host PC and micros may be in different modes at the same time.

Modes are not partitioned by facilities. If you need to use facilities in your system, create a mode
schedule for each facility. Use the facility description as a prefix on the Mode Schedule Form, in the
Description to indicate to which facility this mode will apply. For example:

BocaHQ 8 to 5

would

indicate a facility-specific mode, where

BocaHQ

refers to a geographic location.

There are four possible modes. Normal

is day-of-the-week dependent and it is the default mode for

the Secure Perfect system. The remaining three are not day-of-the-week dependent. Both schedules
and events can be defined in terms of modes. Sunday through Saturday configurations are only in
effect in

Normal

mode. Then, you could define Mode 1 as

Half-Day Holiday

, and Mode 2 as

Full-Day Holiday

. Mode 3 might be

Return to Normal

.

Like events, there is no end time associated with a mode. The mode will remain active until changed

by another mode schedule.
