IPAC Server Administrator's Manual
Alarm Console
A tab on the Dashboard that allows administrators to view and acknowledge alarm events at
devices that are configured to report alarm events.
Card Required Credential
A security feature that requires users to provide a card at a door, elevator, or valid
credential device.
Client Mode
When an IPAC SYSTEM has been configured to act as a client of an IPAC Server™ appliance,
it is said to be in 'client mode'. In this mode, it has no application software of its own. The
panel receives all configuration information from the IPAC Server™ appliance it is configured
to work with.
Control Panel
A system consisting of 1-15 control boards: one Main Board and up to 14 Door Boards
and/or Input Output Boards. An ACS OnSite system consists of a single control panel, while
an IPAC Server™ system consists of an appliance and a number of Control Panels.
Criteria
Criteria are ways to specify what data appears in a report. Criteria are built by selecting a
property of a relation, an operation and a value. For example, to constrain a report on
users to only those that will be expiring in the next two weeks, add a criteria for 'User
Expiration Date', an operation of 'within the next' and specify a value '14 days.' Note that
all rows in the report will match all given criteria.
Dashboard
The Dashboard page is the initial system form displayed after logging into IPAC Server™.
The Dashboard provides a two-fold functionality for monitoring and controlling the operation
of system devices for authorized Administrators.
Data Entry Device (DED)
Touchscreens or keypads which are used to interact with the elevator user.
Device
A device is a logical definition of how a control panel interacts with the world. A motion
detector, a temperature sensor, and an EAS pedestal are just a few examples of devices.
Device Profile
A feature that allows for the creation of a profile that can be simultaneously assigned to
multiple devices, giving all such devices identical settings.
Device Type, Door
A door with an electronic means of entry, such as a keypad or card reader. A door has a
descriptive name such as "Lobby Door" or "Server Room" and a number of configuration
options that control its behavior.
Device Type, Input Switch
A device with one input point and one output point that has state (On or Off). The device
can have these behaviors: Latch, Unlatch, Pulse, or Follow. A schedule associated with the
device causes it to be available for activation via its input point during the selected times for
the schedule.
Device Type, Schedule Controlled Device
A device whose input is a schedule and that has one output point associated with it. The
timer's state is On during the times selected in its schedule; otherwise it is Off. The device
can have these behaviors: Latch, Unlatch, Pulse, or Follow.
