7.8 On-line Display Screen
As we mentioned at the earlier chapter, SMARTGUARD CS Client software is a host of all
CASTLE controller which monitor all CASTLE controller that is attached at the door access
network. It also manages all card operation and door settings of all doors.
If the user let the SMARTGUARD CS Client software running and on-line around the clock
then it will be able to guard, monitor and report all operational events that occur at the
CASTLE controller. On the other hand, if the user decides not to on-line the system every
time, the CASTLE controller will buffer the transaction at their internal memory. By the time
the SMARTGUARD CS Client software re-connect with the door access networks again, all
pending transaction will be retrieved.
From time to time, the SMARTGUARD CS Client software will poll the CASTLE controller for
the latest transaction. By doing so this software is able to keep track the status of the
controller and get the latest information that involved at the door.
The SMARTGUARD CS Client software provides 6 different type of on-line screen, which the
user can choose, for display, and each display screen will show different type of operation
status.
Basically, there are 6 different types of on-line display screen,
• Latest all event list
• Latest all alarm list
• Floor plan display
• Door list display
• Controller list
• Command Feedback
• Command Exception
The default displayed screen will be “Latest all event list”. The user can change to other on-
line display screen by clicking the tab menu bar. Beside that, if the user has configured the
software setting to switch on the on-line floor plan, then the floor plan on-line display screen
will be brought to fore ground in case alarm transaction happened.
7.8.1 Latest All Event List
This on-line screen is designed to display all transactions occur at the SMARTGUARD CS
Client software. The user can identify the listed transaction event by referring to the
description for the detail information. A time stamp on the transaction will explain the exact
timing of the incident. The oldest transaction will always listed at the top of the list and the
new coming transaction will be appended. Beside the incoming transaction from CASTLE
controller, it also records all operation command that is executed by the current log on user
.
This feature will allow the system admin to keep track on system user daily operation.
7.8.2 Latest All Alarm List
The display screen wills only display alarm events occur at the CASTLE controller. Apparently
the SMARTGUARD CS Client software is only supporting three types of alarm transactions,
which are Controller down, Door force open and Duress alarm. Whenever the SMARTGUARD
CS Client software received these three events the software will play an Alarm beeping and
log the received event into this screen. The user is required to investigate the happened
events, once the reason of the alarm transaction has been identify, the user is required to
acknowledge the alarm transaction. The alarm beeping will continue to sound as long as the
alarm is in the alarm display screen, To reset the beeping sound, the user must press F8 to
acknowledge. An acknowledged alarm will be removed from this screen and alarm
acknowledgement transaction will be logged.
