* To support doors/access-control and/or 'memory model' 4, xL panels (narrow mainboard) require a feature
expansion board; Client/Server operation also allows multi-server login; Adding panels allows for more areas,
sensors, doors, etc.; Elevator (lift) capacity is shared with the door capacity; Floor capacity is the same per panel
or account (124), and can be for one building, or shared across multiple buildings; Suite capacity is per panel, and
is reduced by 5 for each (other type of) hardware module present.
Note
: Playback for video events is NOT supported for March R4 DVRs.
Converted TDC/PDC Door Controllers
: Up to 10 per panel (combined total). The above lists show only the items that
are different between the two system versions. The sections that follow describe the overall maximum system
capacities. * Support for suite-security keypads requires a "Feature-Set" selection of 5 or higher. To set this value,
refer to "Account-Wide Panel Settings".
System-Wide Capacities
Client / Server Operation: This is dependant
upon your software licensing (as managed
through the license-manager software).
No. of Client Workstations and/or Panel-
Connection Ports: These items are limited
only by the licensing agreement, but subject to
network performance, and system size /
activity.
Operators: Not limited (subject only to hard-
drive space).
Message Log Capacity (V4.7x): The
following number of messages are supported:
Related Topics: Removing old Activity or Audit Logs
(Purge)
Saved Reports: Not limited (subject only to
hard-drive space).
Account Capacities
Panels and Connections: Number of panels
per account is limited by the software
licensing, and is also subject to PC and
network performance. Up to 30 panels at a
time can be connected together to share a
single connection to a PC or modem. The
number of panel connection ports is limited by
licensing, port/modem availability, and PC
performance.
Notes / Exceptions:
The "Prime" version of the VEREX Director software
('feature set' 1, 2, 3, and 4) is limited to 1 panel per
account.
Automatic dial-in to transmit messages to
the VEREX Director system is not supported
through a shared connection (a modem is
needed for each remote panel).
Remote management through the panel's
built-in Bell 103 (300 baud) modem/dialler is
limited to 'feature set' 1 – 3 (one panel / up to
300 users per account).
Users: Same as the 'per panel' capacity (see
the next table).
Card No./IDs vs. Firmware: Beginning with V3.2 panel
firmware, 32-bit ("9.5 digit") card numbers are
supported (previously 7 digits). This also requires
V1.5 door/elevator controller firmware. With panel
firmware V3.2, card IDs can be up to 999999999. With
firmware V3.31, card numbers can be up to
4294967295.
