Welcome Welcome Welcome to the MPU955* Admin Console Installation and Configuration manual. This guide is organized in a logical step-by-step sequence that will allow for both an easy and accurate configuration. First, an explanation of what MPU955 Admin Console is and how it works in a Network Security System (NSS) is presented in general terms. Next, you will be guided through installing the software, creating a configuration database, and loading the database into the Network Security System’s CPU.
This page intentionally left blank.
Introduction Introduction MPU955 Admin Console enables an administrator and other users to closely control the operation of a Network Security System (NSS). Such a system can include as many as 1,024 cameras and 256 monitors. You will be guided through the process of installing MPU955 Admin Console to manage an NSS, creating the databases that dictate the operation of the NSS, and allowing an administrator to easily change the system’s configuration when necessary.
Introduction How It Works MPU955 Admin Console is a management tool that maintains tracking, reporting, and functional relationships between the various components in a network security system. Configuration Management It is possible for MPU955 Admin Console to maintain several separate configurations for a given system.
Installation Installation Part of installing MPU955 Admin Console means copying program files from a CDROM onto the hard drive of a dedicated PC. MPU955 Admin Console is a tool that allows an administrator to configure the NSS (Network Security System) with information compiled about components and users, and to use well-planned presets and sequences.
Installation Installing MPU955 Admin Console 1. Insert the MPU955 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive on your computer – an installation menu will appear 2. Select Admin Console and click the Next button – MPU955 Admin Console will begin installing automatically 3. Respond to the dialog boxes by following the directions given What Happens Next The next section will guide you through the phases involved with the setup and configuration of MPU955 Admin Console.
Configuration Configuration MPU955 Admin Console configuration is a three-step process: 1. Mark copies of drawings of the facility under surveillance. 2. Fill in the appropriate worksheets provided at the end of this manual. (This will result in a survey of all the components in your system, and how they interact with one another.) 3. Enter the values collected on the worksheets into MPU955 Admin Console.
Configuration As with any system configuration, it is wise to keep initial and updated worksheets on file, just in case there is ever a need to re-enter the data, or troubleshoot the system. Instructions The title of each worksheet is the same as the title of the MPU955 Admin Console window it supports. For example, the “Operators” worksheet supports the “Operators” window.
Configuration Starting the Program To start MPU955 Admin Console: 1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, click on Programs, click on Panasonic, and then click MPU955 Admin Console Logging In Each time MPU955 Admin Console is run, this login screen will appear. 1. Enter the user login name (default = admin) and click the green check mark (or press ENTER on your computer’s keyboard) By default, there is no password defined. Both the user login name and password fields are case sensitive.
Configuration First Time Operation CPU Setup When MPU955 Admin Console is run the first time, the following window will appear after you enter the default login name. On this window you must match the CPU configuration in the software with the actual CPU running the NSS. Unit ID is always “1” when using MPU955 Admin Console, as only a single system unit is supported. 1.
Configuration Ask your installer or network administrator for the IP address for the Main A CPU. This will let the MPU955 Admin Console software know where to send the configuration database later. 2. If your system is equipped with a redundant CPU, then select the Redundant check box and enter the IP address for the Main B CPU Ask your installer or network administrator for the IP address for the Main B CPU. If the system has just a single CPU, leave the redundant check box blank.
Configuration Standard If any of the components in your system exceed the maximum capacity listed, you must choose the next highest system type. For example, if the number of each of your system’s components are less than the maximums listed for “Standard”, but you have 65 monitors, you would need to select “Enhanced” as your system type. Enhanced This is the next NSS CPU type available. Using the Enhanced CPU type will increase the capacity of the system.
Configuration High-Speed This is the largest CPU type available, providing the capacity for handling the largest number of components. 5. After making your selection, click the green check mark to save. 6. You can then click on the EXIT button to leave this window Scheduled Modes If the Scheduled Modes check box is selected on the CPU System Configuration window’s Unit tab, an administrator can configure up to four different modes of operation that can then be scheduled to become active as desired.
Configuration Viewing and Programming In each of the components’ permissions tabs that contain a section like the one shown to the left, modes can be viewed and programmed. Clicking the View option button allows you to view permissions for the mode chosen, and defaults to programming for the same mode. In the case of the graphic to the left, mode 1 is set for viewing, and thereby programming. The permissions grid reflects the contents of the mode whose view is selected with the View option button.
Configuration Main Window After entering the CPU IP address, selecting your system’s size, and exiting, the following window will appear, which is the MPU955 Admin Console main window. This window will be the first one you see from now on whenever you enter MPU955 Admin Console. The main window is the heart of the MPU955 Admin Console configuration software. Each component, sequence, setup, and management task will be accessed from the menus on this window.
Configuration Database Management The active database for this system is the one residing within the Network Security System (NSS). MPU955 Admin Console is used to create that database initially, and from that point forward works with copies of it in order to establish and maintain useful variations. At Installation When MPU955 Admin Console is first installed, an administrator must create and name a new database. The database is stored on the MPU955 Admin Console computer’s hard drive.
Configuration Creating a Database When entering Database Manager for the first time, there will not be any .adm files listed, as none have yet been created. An administrator must create and name a new database for configuration. 1. Select Database Mgr… from the File menu 2. Click on the “New” button – the 2nd button in the Database Archive section 3. Type in a new name for the new database in this field 4. Click the green check mark Enter any name that fits in the space provided.
Configuration Selecting a Database Viewing and Reconfiguring Whenever you wish to view or edit settings from the components, sequences, or setup choices on the main menu, you must have the database whose contents you wish to work with open. If you have just entered MPU955 Admin Console, and click on one of those options, you will automatically be prompted to select a database. The database you choose will open, and will immediately be followed by the option window you have chosen.
Configuration Copying a Database Making Similar or Alternative Databases An administrator can make copies of a database, as desired, and name them to reflect their purpose. This would normally be done to enable the system to respond to changing conditions and surveillance needs without having to completely recreate a database to accommodate these changes. 1. Highlight the name of the database you wish to copy in the Database Manager window 2.
Configuration Renaming a Database Renaming a database is useful when creating several configurations to fit the needs of specific occasions, and changing the name to ensure each file has been updated. For example, if date codes or initials are used in the name or description of a database, an administrator may want to revise the date code or user initials as necessary. 1. To rename a database, highlight a database name 2. Click the Rename button - the 4th button in the Database Archive section 3.
Configuration Deleting a Database In order to reduce the number of configuration files listed in Database Manager, and thereby decrease the potential for confusion as to which file is loaded on the NSS CPU, outdated or unused configuration files can be deleted. If the files may be needed again in the future, it is recommended that you backup the files to an alternate location (see page 22) so they can be deleted from MPU955 Admin Console, and restored later if necessary. 1.
Configuration Backing up or Restoring a Database It may be necessary at times to save a copy of a particular database for backup, troubleshooting, or other purposes. MPU955 Admin Console allows an administrator to perform both backup and restore functions in order to maintain copies of the configuration files outside of the MPU955 Admin Console system. Backing up a Database 1.
Configuration 2. Choose the drive and folder you wish to backup to, just as you would in Windows Explorer 3. Click OK This procedure will only copy the highlighted configuration file to the specified location. It will not remove it from the Database Manager. Restoring a Database In addition to backing up a configuration file, it may also be necessary at times to restore a copy of a particular database from a backup, an e-mail, or from troubleshooting personnel.
Configuration 2. Choose the drive and folder that contains the desired .adm file, just as you would in Windows Explorer 3. Click OK Because you may have multiple files saved in the same location, the restore feature allows you to choose which file to restore. 4. Select the desired file to restore, and click the green check mark The left side of the Database Manager window represents the configuration files already stored within MPU955 Admin Console.
Configuration This procedure will copy the selected configuration file into MPU955 Admin Console from removable media or an alternate location, but will not remove it from its current location. Getting the Current Database In order to retrieve a copy of the configuration currently running on the system, and to bring it into MPU955 Admin Console, an administrator must retrieve it using the Database Transfer section’s “GET from CPU” option.
Configuration Loading a Database In order to copy a configured database from MPU955 Admin Console onto the NSS Main CPU, an administrator would need to use the Database Transfer section’s “PUT to CPU” option. Although not mandatory, first saving the current database residing on the CPU would allow for a manual comparison of any differences prior to loading the new database. MPU955 Admin Console itself cannot detect differences. (Unless this is a first time operation.
Configuration A “Confirm PUT Transfer” window will appear. If you choose to continue, the new database will be loaded, overwriting the existing database, and it will remain on the CPU to run the NSS according to the configuration. 4.
Configuration System Configuration The system file (##A=sys.ini – where ## is the system unit ID number) resides on the main system CPU, and contains information that is critical for proper operation. On systems with a redundant CPU, it may be necessary to modify the system file on both of the NSS CPUs individually, in order to maintain proper operation. DO NOT modify this file unless instructed to do so by qualified technical support personnel.
Configuration Retrieving the System File from the Main CPU 1. Select the CPU Units command from the Domain menu 2. Click on the SYS tab on the right side of the window The following window will appear.
Configuration 3.Click the “GET from CPU” button – the left button under SYS Transfer MPU955 Admin Console will retrieve the system file from the selected CPU and display it in the window provided. At the same time, the system file is saved in the “\Program Files\Panasonic\GXLAC\SysIni” folder as “01A=sys.ini” (or “01B=sys.ini” if from the redundant CPU). 4.
Configuration 01A and 01B system files differ slightly. It is not recommended that identical system files be loaded into both Main A and Main B CPUs. System Archive After the Main A and Main B CPU system files have been retrieved for the first time, it will be possible to view these files at a later date without actually performing a transfer. These files (“01A=sys.ini” and “01B=sys.ini”) will be stored in the “\Program Files\Panasonic\GXLAC\SysIni” folder on the MPU955 Admin Console computer’s hard drive.
Configuration Backing Up After the “01A” and “01B” CPU system files have been retrieved for the first time, it will be possible to save these files to a different location, such as to floppy diskette. These files (01A=sys.ini and 01B=sys.ini) are stored in the “\Program Files\Panasonic\GXLAC\SysIni” folder on the MPU955 Admin Console computer’s hard drive. Performing a backup from the SYS Archive section will save a copy of the specified system file to an alternate location of your choice. 1.
Configuration 5. Load the restored file into the Main A CPU if desired See “Replacing the System File in the Main CPU” section on page 30 6. Repeat for the “01B” system file, if needed Wizard When you want to make changes to the system file’s [System] section - which defines the values for Cameras, Monitors, and Keyboards - you can use the wizard function in the SYS Archive section of the CPU Configuration Window to do this automatically.
Configuration The Wizard button’s appearance will change to indicate if any changes to the system file are recommended. The gauge area on the left side of this icon indicates if the [System] components’ settings are: A) too low for the CPU size selected (yellow), B) matching the CPU size selected (yellow and green), or C) too high for the CPU size selected (yellow, green, and red).
Configuration Resetting the Main CPU After replacing the system file in the main CPU, each CPU needs to be rebooted so that the updated information is read and executed correctly (See Replacing the System File in the Main CPU on page 30). 1. Select the CPU command from the Domain menu, and select the Reset tab 2. Select the CPU you wish to reset from the drop-down box 3. Click the red Reset button to reset the selected CPU 4.
Configuration Input to Screen You will begin configuring the database using the Domain and Components menus on the main window: The title bar of each option window you enter will show the name of the main menu option being displayed, followed by the name of the current default database (.adm) file being viewed or edited. In the case below, the option being displayed is controllers, and the database file being used is standard.adm. Main menu option you are working with.
Configuration Switch Nodes Digital (GX) – GX Devices GX devices include both encoders and decoders. Encoders convert analog video signals to digital data (MPEG2). Decoders convert digital data (MPEG2) to analog video signals. Definition 1. Select the Switch Nodes command from the Domain menu, and then select Digital (GX) 2.
Configuration 3. Enter all information required about each GX Device GX DEVICES - Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955 Admin Console as a device is added, in order to identify one device to the system. 1 to 1,024. MPU955 Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding devices, the system will automatically assign the next available number.
Configuration 8. Click the green check mark to save and exit the edit mode, or click the red X to cancel 9. To delete a device, highlight a device ID and click the Delete Record button A confirmation message will appear. 10. Click No to cancel, or click Yes to delete the selected device 11. To view details about a device, highlight the device ID and click the Advanced Config button (see warning below) A message window appears asking you to confirm that you want to access these settings.
Configuration Components Selecting any of the components listed on the Components menu opens a window that requires information from one or more of the Setup Worksheets that you have completed. Input the required information for each of these components separately: alarms, cameras, system controllers, digital recorders, alarm I/O ports, monitors, and operators.
Configuration Alarms Alarms play an important role within an NSS. Alarms can automatically trigger up to ten actions, such as camera spots, tour sequences, or group sequences (not currently supported), in any combination. These actions allow the system to open or close a contact connected to an I/O port that will start a siren or possibly turn on a spotlight. They also can alert the operator by displaying cameras on a monitor during a triggered alarm.
Configuration Alarm Target An alarm target is an ID number that defines a group of one or more monitors. Alarm targets are assigned to alarms in order to link alarm actions to specific monitors. At least one alarm target must be created before you can create an alarm. When an alarm is triggered, an action will occur. For example, causing a camera spot (configured in the alarm definition) to display on an array of monitors assigned to a specific target.
Configuration 3. Double-click on each monitor ID that you wish to add to this target record As you double-click on a monitor ID number’s corresponding box, the representative box will turn green, indicating that it is now part of this record. First row = monitor IDs 0-9, second row = monitor IDs 10-19, etc.
Configuration 4. Click the green check mark to add the series of monitors, or click the red X to cancel The permission grid is shown by monitor ID only. A monitor can only be a member of one target. Therefore, when adding additional targets, monitors that are already assigned to a different target appear as yellow blocks. Green blocks indicate monitors assigned to the highlighted target ID. White blocks are either unassigned or undefined monitor IDs.
Configuration Alarm Definition To define an alarm record, select Alarms from the Components menu, and then select Records. An Alarm Target must be created before an alarm can be defined. Add, edit, or delete alarm records as needed using the three icons at the bottom of this window.
Configuration Alarms – Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955 Admin Console as an alarm is added, in order to identify the alarm to the system. MPU955 Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding alarms, the system will automatically assign the next available number. Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to identify one component or sequence from another in row and column style.
Configuration Alarms – Definition Field Data ID Uniquely identifies the chosen source that will trigger the specified alarm by its ID number. Camera = port number of camera connected to the controller card. I/O Port = port number of the Input port that the external source is connected. RS232 = port number of the external source that will be connected through the RS232 port. Vid Loss (port) = port number of the input port that will be detecting video loss.
Configuration Alarm Actions The Actions tab allows an administrator to specify up to ten alarm actions for each alarm. To add an action to the list, click anywhere on the next available empty row (or row 0 if this is the first entry), make your action selections, and then click: The green check mark to confirm the action, or the red “x” to cancel its entry.
Configuration Alarms – Actions Field Data Type Choose the type of action to perform when the alarm is triggered. Click on the first blank box under this column, and select Cam Spot (camera spot), Tour Seq (tour sequence), Grp Seq (group sequence – not currently supported), or Text Only. ID Identifies the ID number of the camera, tour sequence, or group sequence (not currently supported) depending on what was selected as the action type.
Configuration 1. Highlight the available target ID you wish to assign to the selected action for the selected alarm 2. Click the Assign Target icon to assign the selected target to the selected action for the selected alarm The Display Mode and Output Port sections are informational only. 3. Click EXIT when finished assigning targets to actions associated with alarms More than one alarm target can be assigned to each action. A target can be assigned to more than one action.
Configuration Alarm Permissions Modify or copy alarm permissions in the same manner described in the Camera Permissions section, beginning on page 57. The Controller permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a controller the ability to seize a specific alarm. The Modes section of this tab is described on page 13. The permission grid’s dimensions are based on the maximum capacity for the chosen CPU size, not on physically installed components already in the database.
Configuration The Modes tab on the Alarms window allows an administrator to determine what modes are active for an alarm. By default, all four modes are active, even if all four have not yet been defined. This tab will be grayed out and inaccessible unless Scheduled Modes have been selected. See page 13 for full details on modes.
Configuration Cameras Every camera in the system can be identified in several ways. Not only is there a physical identification to a particular installation (such as the cabling run and port connection), but there is also information that may change when a camera is removed or replaced at any given location. For each camera there is a record that contains its details. An operator calls a camera by its logical camera number.
Configuration Add, delete, edit, or replicate camera records as necessary using the four icons at the bottom of this window. When deleting or modifying a camera, be sure to check the Other tab to find references to other sections that refer to the camera. Deleting a camera will automatically delete the referenced permissions, but will not change any other references, such as sequences or alarms.
Configuration CAMERAS – Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955 Admin Console as a camera is added, in order to identify one camera to the system. 1 to 1,024. MPU955 Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding cameras, the system will automatically assign the next available number. Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to identify one component or sequence from another in row and column style.
Configuration Replicating a Camera Definition 1. Highlight a configured camera ID and click the “Replicate Record” button A confirmation message will appear asking “Are you sure you want to REPLICATE this camera?” and explaining the replication rules: [1] Records will be generated according to ID. [2] ID will be incremented to the next available value. [3] Logical #, Control Port will be incremented from a specified base value you assign.
Configuration so that you can modify the conflicting values as necessary, and add the records you desire. Permissions The permission tabs allow an administrator to easily permit or deny components access to other components. By default, all components are allowed to access all other components. An administrator must deny permissions. 1.
Configuration Cameras are displayed in the list on the left by ID number, but can also be viewed by logical number, control port, or video port. The grid on the right represents the following: First row = controller IDs 0-9, second row = controller IDs 10-19, etc. Green blocks indicate an allowed permission, and white blocks indicate that permission is denied. 2.
Configuration [2] If permission already exists for a Camera that falls within the Target range, that original permission will be overwritten. 8. Click Yes to continue or No to cancel The copy source is the highlighted camera ID from where the Cam Ctrl permissions will be copied. 9. Enter the Target ID range of camera ID numbers, with the beginning number in the START box, and the ending number in the END box Permissions existing for cameras within the specified range will be overwritten. 10.
Configuration This button is available: 1) on each of the permission tabs for each component; 2) on the Other tab in the Cameras window; and 3) on the Areas window. 12. Click on the “x” in the upper right corner to close.
Configuration Other The Other tab shows which other NSS components or sequences are configured to include the highlighted camera. This section is informational only. Changes cannot be made to other components or sequences from this window. Changes must be made from each specific component or sequence’s menu option. On the next image, for example, tour sequence number 1 is configured to include camera ID 1.
Configuration Recorder The Recorder tab allows the administrator to attach cameras to recorders, once a digital recorder has been defined in Admin Console. Click the ID number of the recorder you wish to work with from the Available Recorders list, then select the camera ID from the Cameras list. Next, select the channel you wish to specify from the Vid CHs (video channels) list. Only channels that are available are listed in the Channels list.
Configuration Camera Positions (not currently supported) An operator, from a system controller, can control each camera in the system that supports Presets by pressing the Camera Position button on the controller. The operator cannot define positions, but rather, can only recall positions (which are a combination of Camera ID and CPreset numbers) that have already been defined.
Configuration 1. Enter a Logical number for the position record you are creating 2. Click in the Camera field, and a list of available cameras that support Presets will appear on the right of this window 3. Choose the desired camera by double-clicking on its ID number 4. Click in the CPreset field and type in the desired preset number 5.
Configuration System Controllers A system controller is a device used by an operator to control specific components within the NSS, such as: cameras, monitors, alarms, alarm outputs, etc. Controllers are generally identified to an operator using their ID number, but can be viewed in MPU955 Admin Console by ID, IPA, EA, or Area. Definition 1. Select the Controllers command from the Component menu Add, edit, or delete controller records as necessary using the three icons at the bottom of this window.
Configuration SYSTEM CONTROLLERS – Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955 Admin Console as a system controller is added, in order to identify one controller to the system. MPU955 Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding controllers, the system will automatically assign the next available number.
Configuration SYSTEM CONTROLLERS – Definition Field Data IPA Unique Internet Protocol Address assigned by the system administrator. Dotted decimal, 15 characters. Example: 128.010.050.125. Each of the four groups of numbers with values between 0 and 255. Depending on the model number chosen, the following will apply: WV-CU350: If this controller is not connected to an RS485 Expander Unit, use the default IPA. If this controller is connected to an RS485 Expander Unit, enter the IPA for the expander unit.
Configuration The permission grid’s dimensions are based on the maximum capacity for the chosen CPU size, not on physically installed components already in the database. The Cam View permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a controller to view specific cameras. Copying Cam View permissions to other system controllers will also copy Cam Ctrl permissions to the specified controllers.
Configuration Digital Recorders The NSS can utilize the features of digital video recorders, once they are defined by the Admin Console. Cameras connected to the digital recorders are configured to the video input channel they are using. Definition Tab 1. Select the Digital Recorders command from the Component menu Add, edit, or delete recorder records as necessary using the three icons at the bottom of the window.
Configuration DIGITAL RECORDERS - Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by Admin Console as a Digital Recorder is added, in order to identify one recorder to the system. 1 to 64. Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding recorders, the system will automatically assign the next available number. Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to identify one component or sequence from another in row and column style.
Configuration Channels Tab Each digital recorder provides a number of video channels (depending on the model of recorder). The Channels tab is used to specify which camera is connected to each of the recorder’s channels. 1. Double-click in the blank field of the channel number you want to specify a camera for 2. Double-click on the camera that you wish to specify for this video channel 3.
Configuration the recorder’s point of view. Permissions from the controller’s point of view can be found in the Recorder Tab of the Controllers window (described in the previous section). The last permission change made is the one that remains set. By default, all components are allowed to access all other components. The administrator must deny permissions. 1.
Configuration [1] Permissions will be copied by Digital Recorder ID. [2] If permission already exists for a Digital Recorder that falls within the Target range, that original permission will be overwritten. 8. Click Yes to continue or No to cancel The copy source is the highlighted recorder ID from where the controller permissions will be copied. 9.
Configuration Viewing and Programming Modes Clicking the View option button allows you to view permissions for the mode chosen, and defaults to programming for the same mode. In the case of the graphic to the left, mode 1 is set for viewing, and thereby programming. See Scheduled Modes in the Admin Console manual. The permissions grid reflects the contents of the mode whose view is selected with the View option button. In the image that follows, the permission grid is displaying the contents of mode 1.
Configuration More than one mode can be programmed at the same time by clicking on the Prog check boxes of the other mode numbers that you wish to program simultaneously. This will append, or add any permissions that are then changed on the permissions grid, but will not duplicate entire modes or overwrite existing permissions in the other modes.
Configuration 3. Highlight a row, a column, or click and hold the mouse button to highlight a group of recorders 4. Click the Invert Grid Selection button to change the state of the permission for the highlighted group, or 5. Click on the Permit All button to turn the entire grid green – allowing all recorders to be seized by the specified controller, or 6. Click on the Deny All button to turn the entire grid white – denying the selected controller access to all recorders, or 7.
Configuration 10. Highlight a component within the permission grid, and click the definition button. A window will appear; giving a quick view of that component’s configured definition. For the Modes section of this tab, see on page 74. Adding or Removing Cameras for a Defined Recorder Once a digital recorder has been defined in Admin Console, adding or reconfiguring cameras attached to it can be done from the Recorder tab of the Cameras screen. 1.
Configuration 6. Select the channel you wish to specify for the camera from the Vid CHs (video channels) list Only channels that are available are listed in the Channels list. 7. Click the Assign Recorder ( <= ) button to assign the specified camera to the specified channel OR the Remove Assigned Recorder Button ( => ) to remove the selected camera from the recorder ID and channel showing in the Recorder section of the screen 8.
Configuration Alarm Input/Output Alarm input and alarm output ports are used for alarm action purposes, and although each has a specific function, both are configured within this section. Although the system controller operator must control the I/O ports by logical number, these ports are viewable within MPU955 Admin Console by both ID and logical port numbers. Each encoder supplies 8 ports – 4 are input ports, 4 are output ports.
Configuration A l a r m I/O PORTS – Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955 Admin Console as an I/O port is added, in order to identify the port to the system. MPU955 Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding I/O ports, the system will automatically assign the next available number. Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to identify one component or sequence from another in row and column style.
Configuration Monitors Monitors are generally viewed within MPU955 Admin Console by ID number, but can be viewed by area\local number, since the user will operate the NSS by selecting a monitor by local number within a specific area. Area\local numbers are displayed in MPU955 Admin Console as one whole number. The four right-most digits represent the local number and the left-most one or two digits will represent the area.
Configuration When deleting or modifying a monitor, be sure to check the Other tab to find references to other sections that the monitor will influence. When changing the Monitor Surveillance Area (MSA) of a monitor, make sure that any affected presets or alarm action target assignments are within the same area. Deleting a monitor will automatically delete the referenced permissions, but will not change any other references, such as sequences, presets, etc.
Configuration Replicating a Monitor Definition 1. Highlight a configured monitor and click the Replicate button A confirmation message will appear asking “Are you sure you want to REPLICATE this monitor within this Area?” and explaining the replication rules: [1] Records will be generated according to ID. [2] ID will be incremented to the next available value. [3] Local #, Video Port will be incremented from a specified base value you assign.
Configuration Permissions Modify or Copy Monitor permissions in the same manner described in the Camera Permissions section, beginning on page 57. The Camera permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a monitor the ability to display a specific camera. The Controller permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a system controller the ability to seize a specific monitor.
Configuration Operators Class Setup An operator is one who accesses the system via a system controller, selects resources, and controls selected system resources, such as cameras, monitors, sequences, etc. Before an operator can be defined, an operator class needs to be created. An operator class defines which functions an operator or groups of operators have privileges to perform. 1.
Configuration 2. Enter an ID number and descriptive name for the class record you are creating 3. Choose the privileges to grant the class by checking the boxes to the left of the desired privileges Be careful when assigning the CAM Lock privilege. When an operator uses CAM Lock, every camera in the system is locked. Other users can select cameras normally, but cannot control them.
Configuration Operator Class Privileges Privilege Permission Override Area Change ALM Select ALM Reset [ALL] ALM Ack/Reset ALM Arm/Dis [ALL] Function When selected, users can override partition permissions. Users in this operator class become super users. This privilege is tied to the Area Change privilege – selecting one automatically selects the other. When selected, users can access areas beyond their defined, current area.

Configuration Permissions Modify or copy operator permissions in the same manner described in the Camera Permissions section, beginning on page 57. The Controller permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny an operator the ability to login to a specific controller. As with the Alarms window tabs, the Modes tab of the Operators window will be accessible only if Scheduled Modes have been selected.
Configuration Automate MPU955 Admin Console allows operators to automate certain tasks, via the Automate menu on the main window. A sequence is a pre-determined series of views on one or several monitors, with preconfigured dwell times between views. Three different kinds of automated sequences are available so that frequently used combinations of monitors and cameras can be displayed automatically; tour sequences, group presets (not currently supported), and group sequences (not currently supported).
Configuration Tour Sequences A tour sequence is an automated sequence of steps that can be run on any monitor by first activating the monitor, and then initiating the sequence. Each step in a tour consists of a specific camera aimed at a preset position, and a dwell time of a certain duration. The values entered in this window determine the sequence in which cameras are viewed by a single monitor when a tour is invoked.
Configuration TOUR SEQUENCES- Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955 Admin Console as a tour sequence is added, in order to identify the programmed tour sequence to the system. MPU955 Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding tours, the system will automatically assign the next available number.

Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to identify one component or sequence from another in row and column style.
Configuration EVENT SCHEDULER – Definition Field Data or area\local number. When Group Seq is chosen, a list of group sequences (not currently supported) will appear. Click on the desired sequence, and it will appear in the ID field. Sequences can be selected by group number or area\local number. Chose Start or Stop from the drop-down menu to start or stop the sequence with this action. When Alarm is chosen, a list of alarms will appear. Click on the desired alarm, and it will appear in the Alarm field.
Configuration Tools Tools consist of items that are related, but peripheral, to the configuration of the network security system. They include logs, area view, and account manager. Logs: System (Log Manager): Used to view system logs that capture data concerning operators and user actions that reside on the Main CPU(s). Admin Console (AC Log): Used to view the MPU955 Admin Console log that captures each action performed within MPU955 Admin Console.
Configuration Log Manager Three types of system logs are stored on the Main CPU, they are the Operator, Alarm, and Video Loss logs. In the case of a redundant CPU, it may be necessary to view logs from each CPU, since these logs are not synchronized. The logs must be downloaded from each CPU in order to view their content. The logs, which are stored on each CPU separately, may be using the same filenames. It may be necessary to rename the files to reflect the appropriate CPU within Windows Explorer.
Configuration 2. From the drop-down box, select the log type you wish to view: Operator, Alarm, or Video Loss Information given in each log type is as follows.
Configuration VIDEO LOSS LOG DATE: YYYY MMM DD format DAY: Day of the week TIME: AM or PM (12 hour format) LCAM: Logical camera number that is connected to the video input port STATE: Video loss state: OK: above threshold and in sync LS: video signal below its threshold and in sync VL: video signal below its threshold and no sync HL: above threshold and no sync TYPE: Indicates where a camera connects: S: MXSW input C: MXCONT input SWITCHING LOG (not currently supported) DATE: YYYY MMM DD format DAY: Day of
Configuration The right side of the window will display all logs that pertain to the selected type that exist on the selected CPU. Remember, for a redundant CPU system, since these logs are not synchronized, it may be necessary to view and retrieve logs from each of the two CPUs. 5.
Configuration If more than one filter is applied, an “AND” and “OR” option button appear to allow you to focus your search. Filters are case sensitive and “LIKE” filters allow use of wildcard characters such as "?" (which represents any single character) and * (which represents a string of any characters). 8. Click the Query button The system log report will filter the records according to the filter selections. 9. Click the print button to print the report as filtered 10.
Configuration AC Log The AC Log captures information for actions performed within MPU955 Admin Console. Only administrators with access levels 1 and 2 may view this log. An administrator may view the information presented, or use the filters provided to customize a report. 1. Select the Logs command from the Tools menu, and then select MPU955 Admin Console An administrator may view the report as shown and print it, or use the filter drop-down boxes to customize the report.
Configuration Adm_File: Configuration (.adm) file in which the specified action was performed. Category: Section in which the action was performed. (Alarms, alarm targets, cameras, camera positions, controllers, controller sequences, group presets (not currently supported), group sequences (not currently supported), I/O ports, GX devices, monitors, operators, operator classes, and tour sequences) Action: Specific task that was performed.
Configuration Areas An area is a grouping of monitors defined by an administrator when monitors are added to the system. See Monitors – Definition on page 81. Selecting the Area View command from the Tools menu brings up the area viewer. This viewer is available to all users. No modifications to components, tour sequences, group presets (not currently supported), or group sequences (not currently supported) can be made from the Areas window. 1.
Configuration 2. Highlight the desired area This is an informational window only. An administrator or operator may view all components associated within a single area. Since at least one monitor must be assigned in each defined area, if any areas exist without at least one monitor assigned, an error message will appear. Defining at least one monitor in that area will eliminate this error. See Monitors – Definition on page 81.
Configuration Account Manager The Account Manager categorizes MPU955 Admin Console users into four specific user levels. This section configures users (administrators) for MPU955 Admin Console, not to be confused with system operators (system controller operators). Initially only the default user account (admin) will be configured with no restrictions.
Configuration There are four user levels having varying restrictions as follows: Level 1: Access to all areas of the MPU955 Admin Console configuration, setup, and management. Level 2: Access for modification of all configuration, setup, and management areas except GX Device and Account Manager. Level 3: Can view databases, log manager, and get the current configuration from the MCPU. No access to the AC Log or Account Manager, and unable to change configurations.
Configuration Level 4: Can only view the Log Manager. No access to any other area of MPU955 Admin Console. 4.
