3.5 Collecting Events While Monitoring

Collecting events from all controllers clears the controller buffers and stores the events in an event file

on the hard disk. Event data can then be processed into report formats. Collection of events occurs when

you start monitoring and continues while monitoring.

1. To collect events, click on the button. If communication has not been established between

the host computer and the access control network, Doors will make the connection.

2. Pane 1 in the communication status field will display event collection status as each controller is

contacted (see Figure 5-42 on page 40 of this section). When complete, Pane 1 will go blank.

3.6 Acknowledging Sound Alerts

When an event that generates a sound alert occurs, the Windows Exclamation sound or PC speaker beep

is played repeatedly until acknowledged by the operator.

1. When there is a sound alert to be acknowledged, the sound alert button on the tool bar changes

from to and the Windows Exclamation sound or PC speaker beep is played repeatedly.

To acknowledge the sound alert click on the button. The alarm is acknowledged and the

button changes back to .

NOTE: If the sound alert button is in the state, but the Windows Exclamation sound or PC beep is

playing, the Exclamation sound has been generated by another program operating under Windows and

is not an alarm event. If the sound alert button is in the state, but the Windows Exclamation sound

or PC beep is not playing, there is a sound alert to be acknowledged and this indicates there is a

problem with the host computer’s ability to generate a sound.

3.7 Stopping Monitoring

There are two ways to stop the monitoring process.

1. Click on the button in the Operate Monitor window (see Figure 5-42 on page 40 of this

section). This ends the monitoring process but does not close the monitoring windows or the

communication link between host computer and access control network.

2. To close all system monitor windows and disconnect the host computer from the access control

network, click on the Operate ⇒ Stop Monitor pull-down menu or click on the icon on the

tool bar.
