Remote Control Listening Port: The Security Escort will be listening on this port to communicate with the OPC
Server. A separate OPC Server is created to communicate between the OPC Client and the Security Escort
system. The OPC Server holds the alarm and trouble messages and sends the same to the available client once
it is connected. The OPC server will send the status of the Security Escort to the OPC Client. The OPC sever
also acknowledges and deletes alarm and trouble messages from OPC Client. If the connection between OPC
Server and Security Escort goes down, the OPC server will try to reconnect with SE. Once the connection to the
SE becomes active, the SE will send all the available alarms to the OPC server. The OPC server in turn sends
the alarm back to OPC client; hence the OPC client may display some duplicate alarms..
"Master Database Path" is the path that this slave or workstation computer uses to access the shared database
files on the master computer. This path may have a different drive letter on the different slave and workstation
computers. They are typically on the master computer but they may be on a file server or any other network
accessible drive. NOTE: With version 2.04 of the software it is possible to use UNC path names rather than
maping drive letters. Therefore the path to the master computer's database would be \\MASTER\C\ESCORT.
"Autobackup to the slave database" if checked the slave computer will back up all of the databases in the
Master Database Path to the Slave Database Path each night at 3:00 AM.
"Slave Database Path" is the path that this master or workstation computer uses to access the hot backup
database files on the slave computer. This path may have a different drive letter on the different master and
workstation computers. They are typically on the slave computer but they may be on a file server or any other
network accessible drive. Typically they would not be stored on the same computer as the "Master Database
Path" so a single failure would not prevent access to both the master and slave database files. NOTE: With
version 2.04 of the software it is possible to use UNC path names rather than maping drive letters. Therefore the
path to the master computer's database would be \\SLAVE\C\ESCORT.
"Local Escort Path" is the path on this workstation the Escort was installed in. Typically it is C:\ESCORT.
Backup / Restore to Disk Cartridge Path
When backing up or restoring the databases to a disk cartridge this is the path that is used.
Subscriber Image File Path
The Security Escort System Software can display an image for each subscriber on the alarm screen. This
parameter tells the software the path to where the image files are stored. The default is "C:\ESCORT\IMAGES".
Subscriber Image Extension
The subscriber images may be in JPEG format or Windows Bitmap format. All images in a system must be in the
same format. For the JPEG format enter the Windows extension "JPG". For the Bitmap format enter the
Windows extension "BMP".
Subscriber Image Scaling %
When the display is set to 640x480 pixels and subscriber images are being displayed this parameter will control
the image size. This value could range from 10 to 100% and should be adjusted while viewing alarms to get the
desired image size. When the display is set to 800x600 or larger (recommended) this parameter has no effect.
