IPAC Server Administrator's Manual
Device Type, Valid Credential Input Device
A device whose input is usually a card reader and that has one output point associated with
it. A valid credential device has no state, so its behaviors are limited to: Latch, Unlatch, and
Pulse. Valid credential input devices have permissions associated with them and appear in
the group permissions area. They do not have Engage/Disengage messages because they
do not have state, nor do they have schedules as their schedule behavior is defined by
permissions, as with Doors.
Device Type, Event Trigger
A device whose input is the specific event associated with it from the door that the event
track device is created to watch. An event track device can have one output point
associated with it. The device can always have these behaviors: Latch, Unlatch, or Pulse. If
an event track device is watching for Door Ajar events, then it has state and can have a
Follow behavior. If the Follow behavior is selected, then the device can have a Disengage
message. The schedule associated with an event track device defines when it is active
because a client might want to respond to the event differently during business hours than
during non-business hours.
Email Notification
An email message that is sent in response to a set of rules including an event, a schedule
and a possible target for the event.
First-Person-In
A security feature which prevents a door from unlocking until a specified period of time and
until a member of the enabling group arrives. See Group Enabled Schedule .
Group
A group of users with the same access privileges for a facility. A group has a descriptive
name such as "Washington Staff."
Group Enabled Schedule
A group of users responsible for activating a schedule. Until a member of this group
accesses the door or device to which the schedule is linked, the schedule remains inactive
and does not permit any type of access.
Guard Tour
A feature allows administrators to assign series of readers to act as tour stops that must be
visited at an established interval.
Holiday
A period of time during which schedules refer to their Holiday override columns instead of to
the day of week.
Keypad
A device that accepts numeric input (e.g. a PIN) from a User. A typical Keypad has 12 keys.
A Keypad is connected to a control panel.
Keypad Command Device
A device feature that allows administrators to define a numeric sequence at a keypad to a
specific output behavior.
Maintenance Mode
Maintenance Mode is a system state that prevents the IPAC Server™ from accepting panel
connections. It is used during the firmware upgrade process. This allows for an upgrade
and restore of the IPAC Server™ without interrupting the operation of the panels or causing
the loss of any event data during the actual upgrade process.
