MONITOR AFx™ Director V4.1 User's Guide
500-9041 v4.1
Device Control
Items can be controlled both by an authorized
user at an alarm keypad, and by an operator
using the MONITOR AFx Director software.
Some examples include bypassing sensors,
arming and disarming areas, and unlocking or
re-locking doors, or changing the operating
characteristics for doors (by 'area', or for
individual doors). Actions can also be
scheduled to occur automatically at desired
times, or when a specific event occurs (such
as when an area is disarmed, or when a fire
alarm occurs, etc.).
Special-Use Features
A number of features are provided for special
applications, including:
•
Visitors that Must be Escorted: Cards can
be set as 'escort-required'. This allows
tracking the movement of visitors, while
ensuring they cannot access controlled
areas without an escort.
•
Card-Disable Readers: One reader can be
set to disable specific types of cards (e.g.
'escort required', 'temporary', etc.) instead of
causing a door to unlock.
•
Support for Suite-Security Keypads:
Depending on software licensing, up to 60
suite-security keypads with LED display are
supported per system panel, with 8 users
supported per suite/facility.
•
Multiple-Tenant Support: User authorities
can be limited to working with a specific
range of users and user authorities. This
allows a multi-tenant facility to be managed
through a single system.
•
High-Security Areas and Vault Auto-Arming:
Areas can be 'interlocked' so only one of
them can be disarmed at a time. Vault/safe
areas can be auto-armed when an attendant
closes the door.
•
Door Interlock: Doors can be set to disallow
user access until up to 3 other specific doors
have been closed (and relocked) for a
specific period of time. This allows limiting
the number of persons who can enter in
close proximity, and/or the speed at which
persons can enter a specific area.
•
Master Override: A security officer can be
given the authority to enter doors that would
normally deny access (i.e., due to cards
being locked out, wrong time, etc.).
Exceptions: This will not override 'wrong area or
floor', card/PIN mode, 'strict APB', or door 'interlock'
issues.
•
Panic Token: Wireless (RF) panic tokens
allow for locally or centrally-monitored
personal protection.
•
Wandering Patient Control: Patients can be
equipped with 'smart' wristbands, allowing
their presence to be detected as they
approach exterior doors, or other locations
that may be of concern. An alarm can be
triggered, and the door can optionally lock as
the patient approaches. Specific staff
members can be given the authority to
cancel the alarm by presenting their token at
the specific door.
•
Special Types of Input-Points: In addition to
allowing input-point monitoring to be fully
customized as desired, custom input-point
types can be set up to support
garage/extended-delay sensors, vault/safe
inputs, arm/disarm keyswitches, Guard-Tour
station inputs, and work-late buttons.
