used to bring existing systems up to today’s
capabilities for a minimal cost. The DSX-1022 is
the direct replacement for the DSX-1021.
Card Holder Roster Report
The Roster report prints a report that has
multiple Card Holders data and pictures on a
single page. The report will use a badge
template named Roster and repeat it on a single
page as many times as possible. The size of the
Roster badge template will determine how many
card holders are included on each page. The
data fields placed on the template determine
what data is printed with the Card Holder
picture. This report is under Reports/Card
Holders.
Scheduled Override Report
This new report provides for the first time a
printed list of scheduled overrides that are
programmed in Workstation. This report is in
Database under Reports/Scheduled Overrides.
New Action Messages
There is now the ability to display an action
message on Device Low AC and Low Battery
events. These conditions use the same action
message as the Device Comm Loss. Action
Messages can now contain embedded hot links
used to display PDFs or other docs or to access
websites… See Page 2
Auto-Data Search from Image Recall
The operator can now double click on the picture
in the image recall window of WorkStation and
automatically pull up that Card Holders data in
the Search window to provide additional
information about that person.
Larger Photo ID Badges
Changed the Badge Template window so that it
will allow a badge that is up to 4 inches tall.
Previous limit was 3.6 inches.
Card Definition Defaults
The card default text file that can preset defaults
for card additions now has stop/start dates for
the card and the ability to define offset or hard
start/stop dates for temporary access levels.
Also added the StartTime and StopTime
parameters to the CardDflt.txt file. This will allow
you to set default values for the start and stop
time fields on new cards.
Comm Server Performance
There is a setting on the Comm Server PC
called the Comm Server Throttle. The default is
1000 which is the number of cycles that comm.
server will run before it sleeps for 1 millisecond.
The bigger the number the more processor time
the comm server will occupy. The Throttle can
be adjusted up until DSX is using the desired
amount of processor time.
Changes to Card Holder Reports
Includes new card holder reports that display
temporary access levels. Starting with version
3.7.28 and higher the card holder search engine
now has the ability to search for card holders
based on Temporary Access Level start/stop
dates.
Password Profile Enhancements
Operator Passwords are now a minimum of 6
characters.
Operator access to each camera can now be
individually controlled through password profiles.
Password Profiles with view only privileges now
allow the operator to double click on an item as
if they were going to edit it and view all data.
This does not however allow the operator to
save any changes only view. This is very
desirable in the Card Holders section of the
database. It can also be used with saved
Reports and everything else in the database.
There is now the ability to have separate control
over activation and deactivation of cards. In
password profiles under Card Holder\Set Card
Status you can now select add to allow the
operator to activate cards and delete to allow the
operator to deactivate cards. Previously they
were both tied together. Also added was the
ability to control which linking levels an operator
can assign to a card. An operator will only be
allowed to save Linking Levels that contain IO
points that his password profile has Grant
