In this guide: Overview 12 Typical Implementation Process 13 Navigating in C•CURE 9000 18 C•CURE 9000 Getting Started Guide Chapter 1 11 EFTA01225778 Overview Overview C•CURE 9000 is a flexible, object-oriented security and event management system that features a variety of customizable interfaces for maintaining the system, and for monitoring the sites that you want to secure. For additional flexibility, C•CURE 9000 provides an option to display these management and monitoring interfaces in the native languages of the people using the system. C•CURE 9000 provides extensive information management capability using Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft .NET Framework V45. Its distributed client-server architecture is capable of supporting a large array of clients, controllers, and input devices, including various card readers and cameras. C•CURE 9000 lets you shape your security and event management system to meet your specific requirements, and provides you with the power to quickly respond to evolving security challenges. ■ Object-oriented Management on Page 17 ■ Event Management on Page 17 ■ Typical Implementation Process on Page 13 12 Chapter 1 C•CURE 9000 Getting Started Guide EFTA01225779 Typical Implementation Process Typical Implementation Process Each C•CURE 9000 installation is unique. You should carefully plan how you want to design and implement your security and event management system. Relationships and dependencies between the various elements of the security system managed in C•CURE 9000 often require specific sequences for configuration, import, export, and monitoring. As part of your planning for implementing C•CURE 9000 at your site, consider the general steps listed in Table 1 on Page 13. These are typical tasks. You and your Software House integrator should adapt the details and sequence of your implementation to suit your specific requirements. . Table 1: Typical C•CURE 9000 Implementation Steps Task Description 1 Installing the System on Page 15 C•CURE 9000 provides an automated installation program and installation wizard. 2 License activation The License Interface is used to activate, validate, and manage your C•CURE 9000 software license. For information. see the Licensing chapter of the C•CURE 9000 Installation and Upgrade Guide or the C•CURE 9000 online help. 3 Configure Controllers Configuring security objects are hardware systems that coordinate communication between the C•CURE 9000 server and the system security hardware. You should configure your controllers before you define the security objects that are connected to them. See Hardware Pane on Page 43 for more information on Hardware configuration. 4 Partitions on Page 31 Partitioning allows you to sub-divide your C•CURE 9000 system into separate compartments so that you can manage specified hardware and security objects separately, and assign Operator Privileges to view/edit these objects, while providing limited or no access to objects outside the Partition. 5 Configure readers A Reader is a hardware device that accepts access requests. To make an access request, a person swipes an access card at the reader or types a Personal Identification Number (PIN) at a reader keypad. The card reader scans the information encoded on the card and sends the card data (or any entered PIN numbers) to the controller, which grants or denies access. You can create a Reader for each type of controller in C•CURE 9000 and use the Reader Editor in the C•CURE 9000 Hardware Pane to configure the Reader. 6 Configure card formats Card Formats are used to specify how access cards are interpreted by card readers in C•CURE 9000. You can assign one or more card formats to a reader to specify the types of cards the reader can accept for access requests. The type of card formats you can assign depend on the capabilities of the reader. You configure Card Formats using the Card Format Editor. I Configure doors Doors are security objects in C•CURE 9000 that represent a securable entry or exit, as well as the hardware used to establish access control for that entry or exit. A Door could be configured to include a switch, a lock, a bond sensor, an entrance or exit reader, or a request to exit device. Also, a Door can be configured to control access using timers and schedules, trigger actions based on the state of the Door (open or closed), and support different access methods, such as, reader and keypad. C•CURE 9000 Getting Started Guide Chapter 1 13 EFTA01225780 Typical Implementation Process Typical C•CURE 9000 Implementation Steps (continued) Task Description 8 Configure elevators Access to floors is managed through Elevator control. You configure an elevator or elevator group through the use of buttons that represent fbors with inputs and outputs. You can add elevators to clearances that are used to control which card holders can access the elevators and floors and at what times. The Elevator Editor in C•CURE 9000 lets you create Elevator objects so that you can access floors. You specify the floors. inputs. and outputs associated with the elevator. You can configure an Elevator to work with an a pC. STAR. or ISC controller. 9 Configure schedules In C•CURE 9000. schedulescan be used throughout the system. Schedules are used to enhance oantrolof a variety of system activities, including system backups, event activation, personnel access, and holidays. A Schedule is used to specify Start and End times for any object to which it is attached. For example, separate Schedules can be attached to a Door to determine when: • The Door should be unlocked • A Reader can be used to access the door • A Reader plus a Keypad code can be used to access the door. 10 Configure personnel records Personnel represent the people who access your site as cardholders and as Operators of the C•CURE 9000 software. You use Personnel records to configure their access privileges. Operator privileges, and design and print their access badges. You define Personnel using the Personnel Editor. 11 Set clearances A clearance defines the locations and times that an access card is valid. In C•CURE 9000, you create clearance objects to define access to specific doors and elevators, on specified schedules, and then assign these clearances to individualcardholders, or groupsof cardholders. 12 Configure events A C•CURE 9000 event is used to define the way C•CURE 9000 responds to state changes that occur to objects in the system. You can use events to perform actions when a state change occurs. You can create events that perform simple functions, like unlocking a door, or a complex functions. like arming. disarming, and monitoring an area. You can link an event directly to a single action or you can link it to multiple events and actions. You define Events using the Events Editor. 13 Set operator privileges You must determine who can access C•CURE 9000. and what operations each individual is albwed to perform. To access C•CURE 9000. a person must have a Windows user account on the C•CURE 9000 server and must be configured as a C•CURE 9000 operator. You can define the Privileges that you assign to Operators using the Privilege Editor. This editor lets you specify the objects, programs, reports, Personnel, and actions that Operators can view and use. For example, you can set up some Operators to manage Personnel only, while others are allowed to monitor access admissions and rejections onty. You define Operators using the Operator Editor in the C•CURE 9000 Configuration Pane.. A privilege is a collection of rights to use access control objects such as readers, doors, inputs, outputs, and schedules. 14 Chapter 1 C•CURE 9000 Getting Started Guide EFTA01225781 Typical Implementation Process Typical C•CURE 9000 Implementation Steps (continued) Task Description 14 Configure Badges You can create Badges for Personnel using C•CURE ID. C•CURE ID provides a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) badge designer that provides complete control over oolor, graphics, text, and backgrounds on both sidesof the badge • Setup your badge printers and configure the badging features you want to use by running Badging Setup from the Options & Tools pane. See Badging Setup fin C•CURE ID help for more information. • Design your Badge Layouts (the way your badges will appear, including portraits. images. signatures, bar codes, magnetic stripes, and biometrics) using the C•CURE ID Badge Designer from the Personnel Pane. • Assign the Badge Layouts to your Personnel, capture portraits, signatures. or fingerprints. and print badges using the Personnel Editor in the Personnel pane. 15 Configure video Video provides comprehensive integration between digital video recorders and C•CURE 9000. You can configure Video Servers, Cameras, Tours, and Views, aswell as CCTV Cameras. Switches. and Protocols. You can also configure Actions in Events for Video and CCTV. You define video objects and actions using the Video Editor. 16 Configure maps You can load and configure a map to unite accesscontrolwith floor plansor other building layout types that represent your facility. C•CURE 9000 allows you to load a CAD drawing and add C•CURE 9000 objects to monitor the state and location of the object. 17 Configure journals, activity logs, and reports The ActivityJournal, often simptycalled the Journal, maintains a record of activity monitored by the system. The Audit Log provides a historyof alloonfiguration changes in the system objectswithin C•CURE 9000. Reports allow you to generate information about any C•CURE 9000 object in a custom format. You Journal in C•CURE 9000 from the Journal View. can view a of system events You can define reports for any object type in C•CURE 9000 using the Report Editor. Installing the System In many cases, C•CURE 9000 is installed and initially configured by an authorized Software House integrator. In addition to installing C•CURE 9000 on a server and one or more clients, the overall installation process can include installing and wiring various hardware devices, including readers, controllers, cameras, and other equipment.

In C•CURE 9000, the term object refers to a collection of definable properties that is saved in a database to describe a particular element of your security and event management system. Examples of objects in C•CURE 9000 include: ■ Access control equipment at your site, such as, readers and controllers ■ Items configured in C•CURE 9000, such as, reports, or import definitions ■ Activities monitored by the system, such as, configuration changes or events ■ Persons who access your site, such as, employees, contractors, and visitors You can build a customized security and event management system that satisfies your current security and operational requirements and modify the system as your requirements evolve. See Managing Security Objects on Page 30 for more information. Event Management An Event is an object that lets you link actions, messages, and time activations into one component. Events are triggered by state changes, such as temperature fluctuations, forced doors, or rejected access requests. C•CURE 9000 manages events using a cause and effect strategy. Anything that C•CURE 9000 can monitor can be used to generate an event, and the event can trigger any action. You can schedule events to occur once or to repeat at specific times. You can configure events that perform simple functions,for example, unlocking a door. You can also configure events for complex functions, for example, arming, disarming, and monitoring an entire area. You can link an event to a single action or link it to multiple events and actions. When you configure an event, you assign it an event priority. Event priorities allow you to rank the importance of a particular event relative to other events in the system. Then, if multiple events occur simultaneously, the system compares event priorities to determine the proper sequence of response. C•CURE 9000 provides eight priority ranges, each containing 25 priority settings, for a total of 200 possible event priorities. See Understanding Events in the C•CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide for more information.

This chapter contains: Managing Security Objects 30 Partitions 31 Administration Station 36 Accessing the Administration Station 37 Administration Station Tasks 38 Using Panes 39 Basic Object Tasks 54 Monitoring Station 71 Client Configuration 75 C•CURE 9000 Getting Started Guide Chapter 2 29 EFTA01225796 Managing Security Objects Managing Security Objects C•CURE 9000 features a variety of user interfaces that you can use to manage your C•CURE 9000 server and clients, configure your security and event management system, and monitor your site. This section describes the various management and monitoring interfaces available to you, including: Table 5: Managing and Monitoring Interfaces License Use this interface to activate. validate. and manage your C•CURE9000 software license. The License and Client Configuration applications feature an interface that presents information and access to application functionson multiple screens, presented asa seriesof selectable tabs. For information, see the Licensing chapter of the C•CURE 9000 Insiagation and Upgrade Guide or the C•CURE 9000 License Online help. Administration Station Use this interface toconfigure administrative functions, including those that control the appearance and optionsavailable n the Monitoring Station. You can customize the appearance of this interface to meet your specific requirements. Access to functions on the Administration Station depends on your C•CURE 9000 access permissions. See Administration Station on Page 36. Monitoring Station Use this interface to monitor your site. The Monitoring Station allows security personnel to monitor various security events and inputs. You can customize this interface for individual operators. See Monitoring Station on Page 71. Client Configuration Use this interface to manage the connection of dients to the C•CURE9000 server, including changing servers and network ports. See ClientConfiguration on Page 75. The Administration Station and the Monitoring Station each present information and functions in a multi-pane window that features persistent viewing and navigation panes, multiple toolbars, a link to online help, and extensive use of icons to access and manage information in the system. The Monitoring Station interface allows for extensive customization. System administrators can create custom monitoring interfaces to suit the needs of various system operators. 30 Chapter 2 C•CURE 9000 Getting Started Guide EFTA01225797 Par MCI'S Partitions The Partition function (Partitioning), in conjunction with the Privileges and Operator functions, allows you to create different sub-divisions, or Partitions, for your C•CURE 9000 system and to separate security objects into these different partitions for both creation and viewing. Operators can be allowed access to, or limited from accessing, individual security objects associated with a Partition. If you have more than one business or department, or multiple buildings on your site, you may need to segment databases of Personnel and Hardware so that they can be managed or monitored independently without setting up multiple security systems. In a partitioned system, you can group Personnel, security objects, hardware, and reports so they can be managed by appropriate Operators, without losing the advantages of central monitoring and administration of the system. Example: If you had a department building and you wanted it monitored by a dedicated security staff, Partitioning would let you organize the security objects, such as, Clearances and Personnel in a Partition that department staff could use without giving them access to security objects outside of their Partition. Partitioning allows C•CURE 9000 to support customer models such as multi-tenant facilities and multi-building campuses. The New Object Partition setting in the Administration Workstation Navigation pane determines the Partition in which an Operator can create objects. MI C•CURE 9000 security objects can be partitioned except ■ Time Zones ■ Logical Elevator Floors (The Inputs/Outputs controlling the elevator buttons can be partitioned so access to the physical elevator floors can be managed through Partitions.) ■ Digital Certificates ■ System Variables ■ Backup and Restore ■ Log Format Objects ■ CCTV Protocols ■ Event Viewer and other objects dragged on top of the Application Layout For more information on Partitions, see the chapter "Partition" in the C•CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide. Search C•CURE 9000 lets you search for objects saved in the system and filter the search results. You can perform a Quick Search using default search criteria or perform an Advanced Search, with three options: • Run an existing query (either system pre-defined or user-created • Run an Instant Query (see Finding Objects in the Administration Station on Page 22). • Create a New Query and run it C•CURE 9000 Getting Started Guide Chapter 2 31 EFTA01225798 Pat These options are shown (left to right) in Figure 14 on Page 32. Existing Queries Existing Queries, both pre-defined and user-created, allow you to use the pre-configured search criteria "as is" or modify them to search for objects in C•CURE 9000 databases. You can use the existing Queries as needed. Instant Queries Instant Query allows you to select one of the Query subtypes from the drop-down list, and on the next screen, create your own temporary Query. Then click Run to execute the Query. The results from both existing and Instant Queries display in the Dynamic View. Instant Queries cannot be saved; however, if you click the Recall Query icon ai on the Dynamic View screen you can then modify the content of the Instant Query used to create the view. For more information, see Recall Query on Page 24. For more information on Queries, see Finding Objects in the Administration Station on Page 22 or C•CURE 9000 online help. New Query Click New Query to open the Query editor and define a new Query. You can save the Query you create, and it will be available in the list of saved Queries.

C•Idull • CO? Running a query (existing query or instant query) is the first step of filtering your data. Once. the dynamic view is created (with the data selected by the query) you can continue organizing your search results to suit your requirements by using the filtering feature in the Dynamic view. The filter can be enabled or disabled. Even when disabled, the Dynamic view let you sort records in ascending or descending order by one of the displayed fields. Context Menus C•CURE 9000 provides context menus that allow you to operate on any data object in C•CURE 9000. To display a context menu, in the dynamic view that lists the object, right-click the object listing. Figure 15 on Page 33 shows a typical context menu; in this case, presenting options for a selected personnel record. 32 Chapter 2 C•CURE 9000 Getting Started Guide EFTA01225799 Figure 15: TypicalC•CURE9000oontextmenu. a Edit Oebte Set erccect, it Pater"o toad waned Peettets...

The options available to you depend on your active privileges. Depending on the menu and your active access privileges, you might be able to modify the access that other users have to the object. Privileges are usually set by the system administrator. Status Screens Some operations in C•CURE 9000 provide a status screen. The screen informs you of the progress or success of the o
