Connecting to the Netcontroller for the first time.

Commissioning Once the NetController has been mechanically installed and electrically connected, the controller‟s network address information must be entered so the Continuum software can communicate with the controller. This operation is called “commissioning”. What You’ll Need Commissioning a NetController requires a laptop or other computer that is running an ASCII terminal emulator. Terminal emulators are common programs that allow you to communicate simply with RS-232 devices. One emulator program, HyperTerminal, is built into Windows and is available from the Accessories menu off of the Start menu. Connections You can connect to the NetController either directly or through a modem, using a device with a keyboard and display. These devices are often referred to as ASCII terminals, TTY replacements, or terminals. We call them command terminals. Your command terminal must be DEC VT100 or VT220 compatible, or your computer must be running a terminal emulation program for one of these terminals. Communications between the NetController and the command terminal is through the RS-232 interface. Connect the NetController Comm Port and the command terminal‟s Serial or Comm port. Connections made through a modem are straightforward; however, refer to the modem manufacturer‟s guidelines before making the connection. Direct connection requires an RS-232 Null Modem cable. The NetController‟s default state is for connection to the CyberStation via a modem. If you are connecting directly to the controller via a network, select “MODEM RS-232 OVERRIDE” on the NetController‟s display panel. RS-232 communications operates at a number of speeds called the Baud Rate. Both the NetController and the command terminal must be set to the same baud rate to communicate. Use Comm3 on the NetController. The following table shows the correct settings:

RS-232 Settings

Baud rate 9600

Data Length 8 bits

Parity None

Stop bits One

Example NetController Commissioning using HyperTerminal

The following is an example procedure for connecting the CyberStation to the NetController using the emulator program, HyperTerminal, built into Windows 95. Open HyperTerminal from the Accessories menu off the Start menu.

• For modem connection, enter a name for your connection, select an icon, and click OK. • For direct connection, enter a name for your connection and click OK.



The Connect To dialog box appears.

• For modem use, fill in the appropriate dial-up information, select the desired port and click OK. • For direct connection, select the desired port and click OK.

When the Port Settings box appears configure your command terminal Port Settings as follows and click OK:



Logging on to the NetController

After connection, power up the terminal and the NetController. In the blank screen at the command terminal type:

WINDOW

The characters do not echo to your display. If they were received properly, the command terminal interface window appears:

For security reasons, access to the NetController internal setup program is limited to people who need to use it, so you must log on the system. Your System Administrator should have been given a User ID and Password. The default User ID and Password are both ACC. These defaults should be changed as soon as possible to prevent unauthorized users from entering Continuum.



Type your user name and press the TAB key, then type your password and click Enter to log into the controller.

The Command Terminal Main Window appears containing the following features:

Menu Bar There are four menus (View, Edit, Connect, and Logout), with the current menu highlighted. In the

figure above, View is the current menu. Command Prompt Issue commands to the system at the R> prompt in the Command Window. (The R

indicates “Ready.”) Status Bar The status line displays information on the status of the Infinity control system. Controller Path Shows what controller the command terminal is currently connected to.

To enter commands at the Command Prompt, pres the F4 key. To toggle between the Command Prompt and the Menu Bar, press the F4 key again.

Setting the NetController Network Address Information

Select Edit from the Menu Bar. Using the arrow keys, move the curser down to highlight the Controller and press Enter



After the „Open a Controller‟ window appears, type in the name of your NetController and press the Enter key.

Pressing F2 will reveal a list of any known NetControllers available to connect to, just use the arrow keys to select

the controller to connect to and press Enter.

The Network setup form contains all the address information. Enter the requested numbers supplied by your Network Administrator.



Name: Displays the default name for the controller. You can change this through the Command Terminal interface

or through the CyberStation workstation. Do not enter anything here.

Description: The description is also displayed as described above (Name).

Serial Number: Automatically displays the serial number of the controller. You do not enter it.

Model: Automatically displays the controller model number. You do not enter it.

Subnet Mask: Displays the Subnet Address of the controller.

Default Router: Displays the Router ID number on your LAN.

PPP IP Address: Displays the Point-to-Point Protocol Address of the controller.

Web Server Port Web server port number (defaults to 80).

Max Response Time: Displays the Number of seconds the system is to wait for a response to a command before it is determined that communications are lost.

When the “Send ACC Modem Initialization String Upon Reset” is set, the following default command strings are sent to initialize the ACC modem:

AT&F\015 ATE\015 ATV&C1&D2&S1S0=1\\N3\\A3%%E1%%C1X3&W\015

After entering the particulars, press the TAB key until the Save button is highlighted and press Enter.

Back at the main form, TAB to the Save button and press Enter.

Commissioning is now complete from the controller end. Power down the controller to write the new settings into EEPROM. Log onto the controller once again and verify your new settings.

You will still have to create a new controller object and fill in much of the same information at the Continuum

workstation or Command Terminal to complete the process.

Hardware, Software, and Communications Requirements

In order to operate the NetController on an IP network, the controller’s network address information must be entered so that

CyberStation can communicate with the controller. This operation is called commissioning.

Requirements

Commissioning a CX968x NetController requires the following:

� A laptop or other computer

� A pocket PC

� An Ethernet adapter for the above Pocket PC or computer

� Web browser software

Note: Commissioning a NetController II is performed using embedded Web Server pages. You do not use the HyperTerminal

emulation program.

� Cable (CAT-5, twisted pair)

Connections

You connect to the CX968x directly through its Ethernet port using a cable connected to the Ethernet port of your PC or you

may connect the CX968x to an Ethernet hub/switch that your PC is connected to.



Default settings

As received from the factory, the IP address settings for the CX968x are set to the following defaults.

SETTINGS VALUE

IP ADRESS 169.254.1.1

SUBNET MASK 255.255.0.0

GATEWAY 0.0.0.0

In order to communicate successfully with the controller while it is set to its default IP address, your computer or Pocket PC

must be configured with an IP address.in the same Network range as the CX968x. Setting your PC to the static IP address of

169.254.1.2 will allow successful communication to the CX968x with its default settings.

During the commissioning process, you may enter a more permanent IP address for the CX968x.

Note: Contact your system administrator for assistance with determining IP addresses, gateway addresses, and subnet masks.

There are many ways to ensure communications between the two depending upon your operating system. It is beyond the

scope of this document to explain network communications. However, the following procedure is one simple method that

ensures communication.

Connection Procedure

To connect from your computer to the NetController II, follow these steps:

1. Disable the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Services on your PC. If your PC is not configured for

DHCP, record the static IP address settings that are currently configured.

2. Disconnect your computer from the network, and set your IP address to 169.254.1.2 and your subnet mask to

255.255.0.0.

3. Using a CAT5 cable (straight-through or crossover), connect your PC to the controller’s Ethernet port.

4. Run your web browser and enter the URL: http://169.254.1.1 to display the following web page.

5. There are two user selections available on the displayed page:

Controller Configuration Options

Custom Reports and Services

6. Select the Controller Configuration Options.

7. For security reasons, the controller is password-protected. A logon dialog appears over the initial page. At the logon

dialog enter the default CyberStation user name and password shown on the following illustration.

Note: The User Name and Password can be configured using Controller user objects.



8. Click OK to logon.

Note: Don’t forget to enable DHCP Services on your PC, and connect the NetController II to the network when it reboots after

you finish the commissioning process.

You may see the following system startup page for a few seconds while system initialization occurs.

After connecting to the IP address of the NetController II, the main Web Commissioning page appears.



The main page features two panes:

� A side navigation pane for accessing the different configuration pages. The options listed on the side navigation pane may differ based on the controller software model, the options you have enabled, or

additional installed options supplied by Schneider Electric.

� The main display pane shows the currently active commissioning web page.

Controller Configuration When you select Controller Configuration from the side navigation pane, the Controller Configuration page appears.



The following table describes the Controller Configuration fields that you can edit, as well as the action buttons. You can

also access this information by clicking Help below the page title.

Field Description/Action Name Contains the name of the controller. You can enter any name you wish in

this field up to a maximum of 16 characters. Spaces between name

segments are not permitted.

Controller device names must be unique across a network

Description Enter a description of the controller up to 32 characters in length

(optional).

ACCNet ID Identifies each controller on an Andover Continuum network by a

unique number between 1 and 190. Each controller must have a unique

ID on its particular network.

IP Address A logical 32-bit address that identifies a TCP/IP host. Each controller

requires a unique IP address. Each address has two parts: a network ID,

which identifies all hosts on the same physical network, and a host ID,

which identifies a host on the network.

Subnet Mask Subnets divide a large network into multiple physical networks

connected with routers. A subnet mask blocks out part of the IP address

so that TCP/IP can distinguish the network ID from the host ID. When

TCP/IP hosts try to communicate, the subnet mask determines whether

the destination host is on a local or remote network.

To communicate within a local network, computers and controllers must

have the same subnet mask.

Gateway Address The Gateway is the intermediate device on a local network that stores

network IDs of other networks in the enterprise or on the Internet. To

communicate with a host of another network, configure an IP address for



the default Gateway. TCP/IP sends packets for remote networks to the

default gateway (if no other route is configured), which forwards the

packets to other gateways until the packet is delivered to a gateway

connected to the specific destination.

If you are using a proxy server, you must define a default router here.

Probe Time Displays the time, in seconds, between controller probes.

A probe is a message that the device sends out to its controllers to check

their COMM status. Controllers respond to probe messages to let the

device know they are online. When a device does not receive a response

from a controller, it changes the controller's COMM status to Offline.

Web Server Port The standard port for Web communications. The default setting is 80.

The Web Server Port can be set to any number from 1 to 65,534. If

changed, browser requests must specify the port number in the URL, for

example, http://<IP Address>:<Web Server Port>.

PPP IP Address Point-to-Point Protocol Address of the controller.

Transport Type UDP - This controller will communicate with other controllers and

Workstations primarily using the UDP protocol.

TCP - This controller will communicate with other controllers and

Workstations primarily using the TCP protocol.

TCP/UDP - This controller will communicate with other controllers and

Workstations primarily using the TCP protocol, but can also speak to

controllers and Workstations that communicate primarily using the UDP

protocol.

IO Configuration Allows the IO bus configuration to be either ACC LON or L-BUS.

Comm4 Port Line Allows Comm4 to be configured as either RS422 or RS485.

Installing the Continuum Database for the First Time on a Standalone System

A first-time database installation on a standalone system happens in two steps via the Database Initialization dialog:

Step 1: Installing the SQL Express database engine.

Step 2: Creating a new Continuum database.

Note: After successful installation, the Continuum Database Initialization dialog automatically appears.

Installing SQL Express Via Database Initialization Dialog Follow this procedure:

1. From the Start menu, select Programs > Continuum > Database Initialization.

2. Select Stand Alone from the Continuum Database Initialization dialog.



Note: After clicking Stand Alone, it may take several minutes for the data to populate during the first database initialization.

The Database Initialization dialog appears.



3. Select the Create New Database radio button. Note that Microsoft SQL Server is shown in the DBMS Name field

dropdown menu.

4. Ensure that Continuum (default setting) appears in the Data Source Name field.

5. Ensure that (Workstation Name)\SQLEXPRESS appears in the Server Name field. For example, QUALPC217 is the

workstation name used in the previous dialog.

6. Leave the Database Name at its default, ContinuumDB.

7. Enter the default login ID, Andover97, in the User Login ID field.

8. Enter your user password in the User Password field.

9. Re-enter your password in the Confirm Password field.

10. DB File Location: If you leave DB File Location at its default path, then you must leave SQL Express at its default path

when it is installed. If you browse a different path for DB File Location, then you must browse SQL Express to the same file

path when it is installed.

11. Leave the Database Size at its default setting.

12. Enter a system administrator password of your choice into the Sa Password field.



This password must meet Microsoft SQL Server rules for the composition of a password: The password must be at least eight characters long.

The password must not contain all or part of the user’s account name (three or more alphanumeric characters).

The password must not contain the following characters: comma (,), period (.), hyphen (-), underscore (_), or number sign (#).

The password must contain characters from three of the following four categories:

o Uppercase letters (A...Z)

o Lowercase letters (a...z) o Digits (0...9)

o Non-alphanumeric characters, such as exclamation (!) and dollar ($)

Otherwise you may receive this warning:

13. In the Windows User Name field, enter your Microsoft Windows system user name here. This is necessary with SQL

Express. You must have administrative access in order to run the automated scripts that are part of the database initialization

process.

14. Enter your Microsoft Windows system password and confirm that password in the Windows Password and Confirm

Password fields, respectively.

15. In the Device Information group, verify that the Database and Log names are unique.

Note: The device information and log file name should be unique for each database created. An error occurs, and database creation fails, if these fields are not

unique.

16. Check the checkboxes as follows:

Note: Be sure the Create Default List Views, Create System List Views, Create System Alarm Enrollments, and Enhanced Alarm Logging boxes are

checked. If you leave them unchecked, CyberStation does not import the necessary dump files. The dump files generate all of the default views, so the

listviews and alarms are not created. In addition, faster alarm logging is not activated. The dump file import happens as soon as the workstation is started for

the first time after installation and the appropriate files are placed in folders. For more information on Listviews, alarms, and alarm logging, please see the

Continuum CyberStation online help.

a. Create Default List Views - Check this box to import and create listviews (from the ASCII dump file, DefaultListViews.dmp) for all

Cyber- Station object classes.

b. Create System List Views - Check this box to import and create listviews (from the ASCII dump file, List.dmp) for system information

other than object class defaults (for example, all events).

c. Create System Alarm Enrollments - Check this box to import configured system AlarmEnrollment objects (from the ASCII dump file, SystemAlarms.dmp). These define the basic conditions under which CyberStation points go into alarm.

CAUTION

The password you enter here is required to execute scheduled SQL Server tasks. Should you later change

your Windows password, these scheduled tasks will no longer execute. To correct this, access the Scheduled

Tasks in Windows and change their password with the Set Password button in their Properties dialog



d. Create/Update Graphical Report Settings - Check this box to import graphical report templates. CyberStation supplies many Report

templates that include bar-chart templates, pie-chart templates, and trend templates, giving Reports a certain default “look and feel.” If you

do not check this box, then these report templates will not be available. For more information on Reports, see the Continuum CyberStation online help.

e. Enhanced Alarm Logging - Check this box to activate an enhanced method that automatically speeds up the process of logging alarms

with workstations. Without enhanced alarm logging, configuration of workstation recipients in EventNotification objects becomes more cumbersome.

f. Enhanced Alarm Delivery - This checkbox is intended for a system with multiple workstations. Check this box only if you intend to add more workstations to the system. If more workstations will not be added, then leave it unchecked.

g. Extended Logging Backwards Compatibility - If you want to use pre-Version 1.7 “old” extended logging, in addition to “new” extended

logging, be sure this checkbox is checked.

17. Click the Continue button.

The Is SQL Express Installed dialog appears.

For first time installations, you should see this dialog. If, in the very unlikely event, you do not see this dialog, it means SQL

Express is already on your computer for some other reason.

If you see this dialog, go to the next step. If you do not see this dialog, and SQL Express is installed, proceed to the next

section, Creating a New Continuum Database.

18. Select the Install SQL now radio button and click OK. SQL Express is then installed automatically.

During SQL Express installation, the software checks your computer for certain problems that could complicate SQL

installation and/or the creation or update of the Continuum database. There are several different scenarios. For example,

thirdparty software may generate license-agreement issues. For a detailed description of these issues, how CyberStation

resolves them, and a list of error messages, please see SQL Express Installation Error Messages.

If there are no problems, the Select Folder dialog appears.



19. The Extracting Files progress window appears. The unpacking takes approximately 1 to 5 minutes. Next, the Microsoft

SQL Server 2005 Setup progress window appears. This also can take several minutes. After the installation has completed,

the reboot dialog appears, which may take up to 60 seconds. Do not proceed

until this dialogue appears. Click OK and reboot your computer.

Creating a New Continuum Database

Once the installation of the SQL Express database engine is successfully completed, the Continuum Database Initialization

window automatically reappears on your workstation PC. Follow this procedure to install the Continuum database:

1. Click the Stand Alone button. The Database Initialization dialog appears.

2. Select Create New Database.



3. Fill out this dialog the way you did in the Installing SQL Express Via Database Initialization Dialog. This includes checking

the appropriate items in the database initialization checkboxes.

4. Click Continue.

5. When the database has been successfully created, the Database Installation Progress screen appears with the message:

Database successfully created.

6. Click the OK button and proceed to Setting Up Workstation Parameters.

Setting Up Workstation Parameters

Setting up workstation parameters is the final CyberStation installation procedure. Go to the Continuum Database

Initialization dialog.

1. Click Workstation.

The Workstation Configuration dialog, shown on the next page, appears.

2. Select the Workstation tab.

3. In the Workstation Name field, enter a name for the workstation.

The following rules apply:

The name can be up to 16 characters.

Be sure that the workstation name starts with an alphabetic character (A-Z) and only contains alphanumeric

characters, underscores (_), or periods (.) For example: Engws



The name you supply here can be changed to a Windows standard long file name after starting the software.

4. In the Folder Name field, enter the same workstation name (above) followed by the word “Folder”. Avoid using spaces. For

example: EngFolder

This name can also be changed to a Windows standard long file name after starting the CyberStation software.

5. All workstations require an ID. If you have a BACnet system, in the Device Node ID field, enter the BACnet ID for the

workstation. (Each workstation requires a unique BACnet ID number.) It can be any unique ID number between 1 and

4194302. Survey your site and consult your network administrator before setting this ID to be sure that there are no conflicts.

Note: In a BACnet network, this ID is unique for workstations and controllers alike and is vendor-independent.

Note: The Device Node ID number must be recorded for future reference.

6. In the Network ID field, enter the EnergyNet ID number assigned for the workstation. The ID number must be between 191

and 254 and is usually assigned by the site administrator. The Network ID number should be recorded for future reference.

Note: If you have exceeded 64 workstations, set the Network ID to 0 and set the Device ID to a unique number.

7. Select the Database tab.



8. Verify that the fields on the Database tab contain the correct information. This is the information that you entered during the

database initialization procedure (for standalone and multi-user) earlier in this guide.

9. Click OK to return to the Continuum Database Initialization dialog.

10. Click Close to complete the CyberStation installation.



Create a Network When you configure an access control network, the first object you create is the network itself.

1. In Continuum Explorer, right click Root, select New, and then select Network.

2. Enter a name for the network for Object Name, and click the Create button.

3. In the Network editor, enter the Universal Time Coordinate (UTC) offset in minutes for Time Zone.

The UTC offset is the difference between your local time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Enter “-” if local time is behind

GMT.

Note: “-300” minutes is an example of the Time Zone offset for

Eastern Standard time.

4. Click OK.



Create a Controller

1. In Continuum Explorer, right click the existing network object, select New, and then select InfinityController.

2. Enter a controller name for Object Name, and click the Create button.

3. In the InfinityController editor, enter a unique number from 1 to 190 for ACCNetID.

Note: This must match what was entered in the web configuration page.

The ACCNetID value uniquely identifies the controller within the access control network.

4. Select the controller model from the Controller Type dropdown menu.

For example, select 5740 for an ACX 5740 controller.



5. Select the Network tab.

6. Enter the IP address of the controller and subnet mask, and if required, enter the default router. You obtain this information

from your IT administrator.

7. Click Apply.

8. Select the General tab, and then click the Teach button.

9. In the Select Teach Mode dialog, select the InfinityController Teach radio button, and click OK.

Note: To confirm that the Comm Status is online, click the Refresh button.

10. Click OK to close the InfinityController editor.

Configure IOU Modules

After you finish configuring a controller with the Comm port editor, you can define your input and output. Start by defining the

IOU modules with the IOUModule editor.

IOU modules are electrical units that contain a number of input and/or output circuits that are electrically and sometimes

physically attached to controllers. They provide controllers with the ability to interface with the outside world. There are four

types of IOU Modules:

� Input modules

� Output modules

� Mixed input and output modules

� Special-purpose modules



Creating an IOU Module Object

The following steps allow you to add an IOU Module object for an IOU Module connected to a controller.

1. Right click the controller that you want to own this module, select New, and then select IOUModule.

2. When the New dialog appears, name the IOUModule and click Create.

Use the General tab to enter basic information about the IOU module.

Description

The description is optional, but a good description of the IOUModule object helps others when they need to test, modify or

manipulate the network. To enter a description, type up to 32 characters (including spaces) in the text field.

IOU Number

Enter the IOU number here. You must manually assign a unique number (between 1 and 32) for each IOU module on a

network controller. Physically label the IOU modules with the numbers you assign. This number is not the same as the 12-digit

module ID # assigned to the individual module at the factory. You will use this number when you configure points on this

controller.

Model Number

The model number identifies the type of the IOU Module and is read from the module.

Module ID and Program ID



These Schneider Electric-assigned numbers appear after the Learn process. The only time you will need these numbers is when

speaking to a Schneider Electric Support Representative. These numbers will help our staff to answer your questions. You may

manually enter the Module ID number in this field, (if you know it), rather than following the Learn process.

Commissioning an IOU Module

Perform this procedure after installing the IOU module on the controller.

1. In the IOUModule editor, click the Learn button. A dialog displays requesting the operator to press the Commission button

on the physical module.

2. At the IOU Module, press the Commission button on the front panel. The dialog at the workstation should disappear

indicating that it received the information from the module. If the module is not easily accessible, you can enter the module ID

found on the label inside the cover of the module into field, and click the Apply button.

3. In the IOUModule editor, click the Refresh button. The ModuleID for commissioned module, the ProgramID field, and the

IO model type (i.e., AO-4-8) are automatically entered. This information was received from the module. Also, the Comm

Status should be Online.

Designate the Primary Access Server

The Primary Access Server is the CyberStation workstation that you designate to record access events in the CyberStation

database. If your network has multiple CyberStation workstations, you also should designate another workstation as a

Secondary Access Server.

1. In Continuum Explorer, right click the workstation that you want to make the primary access server, and select Edit.

2. In the General tab of the Device editor, check the Primary Access Server check box, and click OK.



3. When prompted to teach the controllers and workstations about this workstation, click Yes.

Create CyberStation Points

A point is an object that stores a value, such as an input indicating the status of a door lock, an output that locks or unlocks a

door, or a True-False condition that triggers an alarm. In access control systems, you most often work with the following types

of point objects:

Point Type Use in Access Control Systems

Supervised

InfinityInput

Used to monitor contact status as well as the condition of the

wiring, allowing CyberStation to detect that wiring was

tampered with.

Digital InfinityOutput Used to specify a digital (On or Off) value, allowing

CyberStation to change the status of a switch or a contact.

InfinityNumeric Software point that stores a number value, including an

On/Off value (1 or 0).

InfinityDateTime Software point that stores a date and time value.

InfinityString Software point that stores text.

Points enable you to monitor and control access events. You use these points with schedules, alarms, and other objects to

establish routine access control and to respond to unauthorized access events.

Create an InfinityInput Point Supervised input points can monitor:

� The status of a contact or switch, and

� Whether the wiring for the contact or switch was tampered with.

Supervised points can have one of three values: On, Off, or Trouble.

You create a supervised input point for each input (for example, from a contact sensor) from the devices wired to channels at

each controller in your network.

1. In Continuum Explorer, right click the controller where you want to create the point, select New, and then select

InfinityInput.

2. Enter a point name for Object name, and click the Create button.

3. In the General tab of the InfinityInput editor, enter the units for this point.



For example, define the meaning of the On value: “On = Closed.”

Leave the Value field at 0. The system updates the value with the input from the associated controller channel.

4. Select the Settings tab.

5. Select Supervised for Elec Type.

6. Enter the controller channel number (marked on the controller) to which this input is wired.

7. Enter $####### for Format.

$ indicates a text value. Each # is a placeholder for one character. This format enables On, Off, or Trouble to be reported for

the value.

$ indicates a text value. Each # is a placeholder for one character.

Use a period to indicate the position of the decimal point, if needed An example for the Format value is “$#####.#”



8. Select the appropriate input type based on the wired configuration of the switch (normally open with a resistor in series,

normally closed with a resistor in series).

9. Click OK.

Create an InfinityOutput Point

An InfinityOutput point is a digital point that stores the value of a signal sent to an access control device. The value is sent via

the controller channel to which the device is wired, and is used to control the device. For example, the output may lock a door.

An output point can have a value of On or Off. You create an output point for each output (for example, to a door lock) to the

devices wired to channels at each controller in your network.

1. In Continuum Explorer, right click the controller where you want to create the point, select New, and then select

InfinityOutput.


3. In the General tab of the InfinityOutput editor, enter the units for this point.

For example, define the meaning of the On value: “On = Unlock.” Leave the Value field at 0.

4. Select the Settings tab.

5. Select Digital for Elec Type.

6. Enter the controller channel number (marked on the controller) to which this output is wired.

7. Enter $### for Format.

$ indicates a text value. Each # is a placeholder for one character. This format enables On or Off to be reported for the value.



8. Click OK.

Create an Infinity Numeric Point An Infinity Numeric point stores a number value, such as:

VALUE EXAMPLE

System constant Maximum occupancy for a specific area

Result of a calculation Current occupancy of the area

Logical value On or Off value set by a schedule

1. In Continuum Explorer, right click the controller where you want to create the point, select New, and then select Infinity

Numeric.


3. In the General tab of the Infinity Numeric editor, enter the units for this point.

For example, define the meaning of the point value: “Max. Occupancy = 100” or “On=Occupied.”

4. Leave Value empty, or enter a value, depending on how you intend to use this point.

For example, if the point will be a constant, enter the number. If the value will be the result of a calculation, do not enter

anything in the field.

5. Enter the format of the value for Format.

$ indicates a text value. Each # is a placeholder for one character. Use a period to indicate the position of the decimal point, if needed

An example for the Format value is “$#####.#”.



6. Click OK.

Create Areas

An area is a space that can be accessed only by passing through an access control device, such as a card reader or keypad. Each

area can be accessed through one or more doors where access control devices are configured.



For example, the manufacturing floor of a small facility might have doors leading to other areas of the facility, such as an

office area, stock room, and emergency exit to the outside.

Factors to Consider When Defining Areas

Unlike Door objects, which correspond to actual doors in your facility, Area objects are not necessarily direct representations

of each physical space in your facility. The number of Area objects that you need to create depends on many factors, including:

The size and physical layout of your facility

The movement of personnel into, out of, and through your facility

The degree of access control that you require for the movement of personnel within the facility

The types of personnel who need access to various locations in your facility and when access is needed

After you create an area object, you configure doors that access the area. You also assign the area to personnel who need

access to it. In addition, you can attach schedule points to Door and Personnel objects to determine when access can occur.

Create an Area Because the doors accessing an area may be managed by different controllers, you typically create a folder for Area objects

from Root.

1. In Continuum Explorer, right click Root, select New, and then select Folder.

2. Enter a folder name, and click the Create button.

3. Right click the folder, select New, and then select Area.

4. Enter an area name, and click the Create button.

5. In the Area editor, click OK.

You can now assign doors and personnel to this area.

Create Doors

Door objects, along with Area and Personnel objects, are the fundamental elements of your access control system. Door objects

are highly customizable, and you can configure doors to meet the access control requirements of specific locations. You can

configure access control devices, such as card readers and keypads, on one side of a door (single-reader door) or on both sides

(dual-reader door).

When to Create a Door

You create Door objects only for doors that have access control devices associated with them. If you want to monitor a door

that is simply closed or locked under normal circumstances, such as a fire door, you can do this by setting up supervised input

points for the door switch and contacts.

Data that Defines a Door

You will need the following information to define each door:

Card-format information for access-card sets

Site codes (Wiegand or ABA card formats only) accepted at the door

Area(s) to which the door provides access



Type of validation needed at the door (by site code, card number, personal identification number [PIN], etc.)

Channel numbers for card reader and keypad inputs

Channel numbers for door inputs and outputs

You can also attach schedule points to a door to determine when the door is locked or unlocked or when no access is allowed.

Create a Door You create Door objects in the controller to which the door and reader inputs and outputs are wired.

1. In Continuum Explorer, right click the controller where you want to add the door, select New, and then select Door.

2. Enter a door name, and click the Create button.

3. In the Door editor, select the Card Formats tab.

4. If you use Wiegand cards, enter the site code(s) used with your access cards.

Note: You can have up to four site codes per door.

5. Select the card format, Wiegand or ABA, and then select the individual formats that you want the reader to recognize.

Note: The FIPS-PIV options are included in the Wiegand Formats section. Cyberstation version 1.9 and higher supports this

special personnel category for federal employees and contractors whose security identification must comply with the Federal

Information Processing Standard for Person Identity Verification (FIPS-PIV). In Cyberstation you can configure door and

Personnel objects to accommodate FIPS-PIV card or “credential” holders and FIPSPIV card readers. For more information, see

Adding FIPS-PIV Card Credentials in Chapter 4, Advanced Topics for Access Control. Refer also to the CyberStation help

topic, “Defining a Custom FIPS-PIV String Format.”

6. Select the Entry Reader tab.

7. Enter the channel number on the controller that is connected to the card reader at this door.

8. Select the area to which the door provides access.

9. Select the access validation options required at this door.



10. If the door has readers on both sides, select the Exit Reader tab, and repeat steps 7 - 9 to configure the second reader.

11. Select the Channels tab.

12. Enter the channel number where each input or output is wired.

Channel Description

Door Output Channel to which the door lock is wired.

ADA (Americans

with Disabilities

Act) Output

Channel to which an electronic door opener is wired.

Alarm Output Channel that will be energized when an alarm condition is

active at this door.

Exit Request Input Channel that receives input from a motion detector, request-

to-exit (REX) button, or other REX device.

Door Switch Input Channel to which the door switch is wired.

The door switch monitors whether the door is open or closed.



You also select the resistor type for the switch.

Bond Sensor Input Channel to which a bond sensor is wired. A bond sensor

determines the physical position of the door latch. You also

select the resistor type for the sensor.

ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Exit Request Input Channel for input that requests that the door be opened for a

person to leave the area accessed by this door.

ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Input Channel for input indicating that the card holder has ADA

access enabled on his or her access card.

13. Select the Options tab.

14. Under Send Access Events, select the events you want to log for this door.

The events that you select for this door can be shown in logs, ListView and EventView windows, and reports. Events not

selected here are not captured and cannot be retrieved for later viewing and reporting.

15. Click OK.

View Doors Assigned to an Area

1. In Continuum Explorer, expand the folder where you created areas, and double click the area to which you assigned the new

door.

2. In the Area editor, select the Doors to Area tab.

The door you created now appears in the list. The list indicates whether the door provides access to the area, exits the area, or

both.



3. Click Cancel.

Create Personnel A Personnel object stores the access information for each person authorized to enter your facility. Personnel objects can also

store personal and employee data for each person.

Access-Control Information in a Personnel Object

You can specify access control information for each Personnel object, such as:

Card format

Site code



Card number

Card expiration date

Areas to which the person has access rights

Schedules points that determine when the person can access assigned areas

More advanced access control settings, such as area clearance levels and executive privilege, can also be defined in a Personnel

object. These are described in greater detail in the CyberStation online help.

In addition, if you have purchased the badging option, you can create ID badges for Personnel objects. The badges can include

a photo, signature, fingerprint, etc., to identify the card holder.

Methods of Creating Personnel Objects You have several options for creating Personnel objects:

You can enter new Personnel objects in the Personnel Manager dialog.

You can use the Personal Import Utility to import personnel records from another application into CyberStation. Once

imported, these records become Personnel objects that you can edit and manage in the Personnel Manager.

You can import personnel records from a .CSV file and save the imported data as Personnel objects.

You can create Personnel objects from templates.

You can add new Personnel objects from Continuum Explorer.

Open the Personnel Manager for the First Time

The Personnel Manager automatically opens when you double click a Personnel object in Continuum Explorer. However, if

you have not yet created any Personnel objects, you create a new Personnel object in Continuum Explorer, which also opens

the Personnel Manager.

You typically create one or more folders in which to store Personnel objects.

1. To create a Personnel folder in Continuum Explorer, right click Root, select New, and then select Folder.

2. Enter a folder name, and click the Create button.

3. Right click the folder, select New, and then select Personnel.

4. Enter a name for the Personnel object (for example, you might want to enter the last name and first initial of the person), and

click the Create button.

The Personnel Manager opens.



5. In the Details tab, enter the person’s full name.

6. Select the card format for Card Type.

7. For Wiegand cards, enter the site code for the card. For FIPS-PIV cards, enter agency code and system code.

8. Enter the card number. For FIPS-PIV cards, enter credential number.

9. Under Access Rights, expand the UnAssigned areas list.

10. Select the check box next to areas this person can access.



You can expand an area to attach a schedule point. Schedule points are described in “Task 10: Create Schedules” on page 68.

11. Click Apply.

Note: Cyber station version 1.9 and higher supports a special personnel category for federal employees and contractors whose

security identification must comply with the Federal Information Processing Standard for Person Identity Verification (FIPS-

PIV).

In Cyber station you can configure door and Personnel objects to accommodate FIPS-PIV card or “credential” holders and

FIPSPIV card readers. For more information, see Adding FIPS-PIV Card Credentials in Chapter 4, Advanced Topics for

Access Control.

Create a Personnel Object in the Personnel Manager

When the Personnel Manager is open, you can continue creating Personnel objects without closing and reopening it each time.

1. In the Personnel Manager, click the Add Record button.

2. Repeat steps 5 - 11 above to enter information for this person.

3. When you finish adding Personnel objects, click OK to save the current object and close the Personnel Manager.

4. Proceed to “Task 10: Create Schedules” on page 68.

Note: An alternate method for creating a Personnel object is with the Personnel Editor. Refer to the “Personnel Editor” topic in

the Cyber Station online help for more details.

Create Schedules A schedule is a graphical calendar of events that CyberStation uses to determine when activities occur. Access-control

activities that you can manage with schedules include:

When doors are locked or unlocked

When personnel have access to areas



About Schedule Points Schedules use the following points to determine when the schedule is active and which CyberStation objects are controlled by

the schedule:

Infinity DateTime points that are updated with occupied and unoccupied times

An Infinity Numeric or Infinity Output point whose value is set by the schedule. Other objects that reference this

point, such as a door, are controlled by the schedule that sets the point value.

Create and Configure a Schedule You create schedules in the controller where the schedule will be used. (Later, you can use the Schedule editor’s Mass Create

feature to copy the schedule to other controllers in your network, if needed.)

1. In Continuum Explorer, right click the controller, select New, and then select Schedule.

2. Enter a schedule name, and click the Create button.

3. In the Schedule editor, select the Configuration tab.



4. Under Point Configuration, use the browse button to locate each of the following points:

An InfinityDateTime point that the schedule updates with the next occupancy time (the date and time at which an area

will next be occupied)

An InfinityDateTime point that the schedule updates with the next unoccupancy time (the date and time at which an

area will next be unoccupied)

5. Use the browse button to locate the InfinityNumeric point that the schedule will set for Occupancy Point.

The value of this point will be set to On (Occupancy Time is now.) or Off (Unoccupancy Time is now.).

6. Check the Automatic Download check box, and select the day of the week and the time you want CyberStation to

download the schedule to the controller.

7. Click OK.

8. In Continuum Explorer, right click the workstation that you want to perform the schedule download, and select Open.

9. In the General tab of the Device editor, click the Auto Download check box, and click OK.



Each week, at the day and time you selected in the schedule, this workstation downloads the next seven days of the schedule to

the controller.

Attach a Schedule Point to a Door After you create and configure a schedule, you attach the point you selected for the Occupancy Point to the objects you want

the schedule to control.

1. In Continuum Explorer, double click the door to which you want to attach the schedule point.

2. In the Door editor, select the Options tab.

3. Click the browse button next to one of the schedule fields, and navigate to and select the schedule point you want to attach.

You can use schedule points to control the door in two ways:

Attach the point to . . . To . . . Door Force Lock Schedule Lock the door, with access allowed to valid personnel when the

schedule is On, and

Lock the door, with no access allowed when the schedule is Off.

Door Force Unlock Schedule Unlock the door, with no access validation required when the

schedule is On, and

Lock the door, with access allowed to valid personnel when the

schedule is Off.

4. If you are using the Force Lock option, select the Entry Reader tab, and ensure that the Door Force Lock Schedule check

box is selected for Normal under Access Validation. Repeat for the Exit Reader tab if this is a dual-reader door.

5. Click OK.

Attach a Schedule Point to an Area in a Personnel Object



Attaching schedule points to areas in a Personnel object enables you to specify when this person can access the assigned areas

without affecting access to the areas by other personnel.

For example, you may want permanent employees to have access to your facility at any time. You may also want temporary

workers to have access only during the regular business day and be denied access after hours. You can limit the times of access

for temporary workers by attaching schedule points to area assignments in their Personnel objects.

If . . . Then . . .

A schedule point is attached to

an area in the Personnel object

the person can access the area only when the schedule

associated with the point is active.

No schedule point is attached

to an area in the Personnel

object

the person can access the area as determined by schedules (if

any) that are attached to doors to the area.

1. In Continuum Explorer, double click the Personnel object that you want to edit.

2. In the Personnel Manager, under Access Rights, expand Assigned, and then expand an area where you want to attach a

schedule point.

3. Click the icon next to Add Schedule to display the Add Schedule dialog.

4. Select the browse button next to Schedule Points Location to locate, and select the controller with the schedule point that

you want to add.

5. Select a schedule point, select the area(s) where you want to attach the point, and click OK.



6. Click OK.

Monitoring an Access Control System

When your access control system is configured and operating, CyberStation has numerous features that enable you to monitor

access control activity. This chapter introduces the following features:

Alarm Status bar and Active Alarm View window

EventView windows

ListView windows

Responding to Alarms When you configure alarms, you typically specify that an alarm message be displayed at one or more Cyber Station

workstations. At a workstation, alarm messages appear either in the Alarm Status bar or in the Active Alarm View window,

depending on settings in the Event Notification object associated with the alarm.

About the Alarm Status Bar



An alarm message is displayed in the Alarm Status bar when an alarm is triggered. If multiple alarms are active, the alarm

displayed in the status bar is the first alarm that would appear in the list of alarms in the Active Alarm View window.

Buttons to the left of the message enable you to silence, mute, or acknowledge the alarm, and to perform other related actions.

About the Active Alarm View Window The Active Alarm View window notifies you of alarms and provides information about current alarm conditions. The window

displays automatically when an alarm occurs if you selected the Display Alarm View option in the EventNotification object

associated with the alarm.

If the window does not display automatically, you can display it by clicking the Alarm icon in the Alarm Status bar. You can

open this window whether or not any alarms are currently active.

This window updates in real time as alarms occur, are responded to, and/or the affected objects return to their normal state.

By default, alarms are sorted by priority. Alarms with a priority of 1 are considered the most urgent. They appear at the top of

the list. Use buttons to the left of the entries in the list to respond to alarm notifications.

Monitoring Live Access Events Active EventView windows are objects that provide real-time information about access events at doors that you specify. Using

EventView windows, you can monitor ongoing activity, both routine and unexpected.



About Creating EventView Objects You create EventView objects in the EventView editor. You can create multiple EventView objects, each customized to

display selected events from specific doors.

Settings you can define in the EventView editor include:

Sort criteria to determine the display order of events

Doors and events that you want to monitor

Fonts and colors for different event types

You can further customize an EventView window from menu options in the window itself. For example, the Add/Remove

Columns option in the View menu lets you select the columns you want to display. You can also drag columns to change their

sequence in the window.

Using ListView Windows

ListView windows are objects that display a list of attribute values for an object class, such as Door objects or Personnel

objects. You typically use ListView windows when you want to review the event history of an object or a person. For example,

reviewing the event history may help you resolve a recurring problem, such as frequent Door Ajar events at a specific door.



About Predefined ListView Objects

Several predefined ListView windows for access events are available from the ListViews page of the CyberStation main menu.

The Personnel page also has predefined Listview windows for personnel related lists.

You can customize ListView windows using menu options in the windows. You can create and edit ListViews in the ListView

editor.

About Creating ListView Objects

ListView objects are highly customizable. Settings that you can define include:

Object class, including special ListView object classes, such as AlarmInformation, that you can use to track system

events

Whether the data displayed when you open a ListView window is the most recent available from the controllers or is

retrieved from the CyberStation database (You can also update the window to get “live” data.)

Filters for time intervals

Path in which to look for objects of the selected class, which enables you to focus on objects of interest

Columns included in the ListView window, their arrangement, fonts, and colors

Qualifiers that further refine the selection of objects whose data is shown in the ListView window

Continuum Reports Continuum reports are more powerful than listviews. With reports, you can specify configuration parameters, narrow the information, and perform powerful custom searches in the form of reports. Quick-pick buttons also allow you to filter the data and narrow the report information. For example, you may narrow the information according to



time – today, yesterday, this week, this month, and so on. A calendar allows you to highlight the beginning and ending dates, as well as start and stop times. The following sections describe three types of Continuum reports:

Access Reports

Alarm Reports

User Activity Reports

Access Report Select Access Report from the Reports menu to bring up a Continuum Access Events window that contains

configuration parameters and filters by which door reports and cardholder reports are generated. Via this window, you define these parameters to filter information that is displayed in a report. There are three general sets of filters you may use:

Door access events

Cardholder access events

Both door and cardholder access events Use the following Access Events buttons to customize a report according to certain parameters and filters:

Note: While using these Reports windows, you may use the Tab key to move the cursor from one user-interface feature to the next. However, when the cursor moves into the Cardholder Selection listview and/or Door Selection listview, Tab-key navigation becomes disabled. Press the Ctrl-Tab keys to re-enable Tab-key navigation and move the cursor out of the listview.
