CHAPTER 5
5. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
This chapter outline the basic steps involved in configuring the SMARTGUARD CS Client
software.
5.1 Controller/Door Setting
User is required to configure the CASTLE controller setting according to the system
requirement. This setting includes,
• Controller and door logical address. (Tag name)
• Physical address of the controller.
• Each door opens time.
• Each door release time.
• Each door closes time.
• Emergency pin number.
• Time zone.
5.2 Time Set, Time Zone, Holiday List, Door Accessibility and Floor Accessibility
The user is required to specify the timer sets, time zone sets and national holiday sets. This
process must be carried out before any user card configuration take place, because the
SMARTGUARD Pro software uses all these information to control the card user door
accessibility and floor accessibility in a premises. The SMARTGUARD Pro software will enable
the user to define maximum 98 sets of user configurable setting. Besides that, SMARTGUARD
Pro software also pre-assigned with two settings which are Free access to all doors and No
access to all doors access level and all floor access level.
5.3 Card Holder Configuration
The card holder information must be installed into the SMARTGUARD CS software database
before he/she can use the card to access the door. The assigned card information is required
to download to CASTLE controller. The user can configure each card user with different
access privilege by assigning various type of access level, where the user is required to define
it at the Door Accessibility Entry. Further more, the SMARTGURAD CS Client software can also
allow the user to assign the validity period of a card.
5.4 Down Loading
After performing all the above steps, the user is required to download the configured data to
CASTLE controller. Failure on downloading process will not guarantee the correctness and
accuracy of the SMARTGUARD door access operation. Beside that, the user is advised to print
out the configuration setting into hardcopy form or backup the setting data into backing
storage media, this is to provide a safe guard on the data entries. In the case of data
corruption happened at the SMARTGUARD PC, the user can always restore back the original
configuration setting. The downloading function must be executed with extra caution,
because the send data will overwritten CASTLE controller existing information, therefore the
user should print out all the new entered setting to verify before issued a download
command.
