CMD 405: DEFINE CUSTOM CARD READER CONFIGURATION

Syntax:

START 405 * NN * DIGMAP [Up to 32 digits] #

Variables:

NN

Reader number, 1-16, or 0 to set all card readers.

DIGMAP

A series of two-digit numbers, all strung together. If you want to pass through the first eight digits of a card’s raw data, use 0102030405060708. To reset in order to generate MATCH codes instead of customized codes, set DIGMAP variable to 0. You cannot set one of these individual two-digit numbers higher than 39.

Description:

This command enables the host to set up a customized card reader, assuming that the MATCH board connected to the card reader supports this feature.

This command is used to select a subset of 8 – 16 digits out of the card code received from the card reader.

Example:

START 405 * 3 * 01020304050607080900 #

Define Card Reader 3 to use the first 9 digits of the card data, followed by a 0 digit as the card number. (Same as 010203040506070809 because zeroes are padded on the end.)

START 405 * 0 * 0102030411121314 #

Use the first 4 digits, skip the next 6 digits, and use digits 11-14 as the card's 8-digit card code, for all of the card readers.

START 405 * 13 * 0000010203040506 #

Use the card's first 6 digits as the card code, but pad it with two leading zeros.

START 405 * 0 * 0 #

Reset all card readers from card reader mapping to normal MATCH code generation.

CMD 422: SET USERS CUSTOM ACCESS ZONE

Syntax:

START 422 * User * Reader * Time Zone [* Time Zone...] #

Description:

Use this command to assign special access zones to specific users.

Standard Access Zones allow different users to share the same access privileges. A standard access zone consists of a time zone for every door or reader.

For example:

Ordinarily, this combination of time zones per reader would be assigned to a standard access zone, numbered from 1 – 64, then an access user would be defined using that SAZ number.

Certain customers, however, may want some of their users (or, possibly, all of their users) enrolled with their own personal access combination. For example, a customer might have a special user who has almost the same access as everyone else but needs special privileges on special occasions; or a consultant who requires access to an assortment of areas but only for brief periods of time; or an airline agent who suddenly must have access to three gates ordinarily used by a competing airline.

This new situation might change the SAZ for this user to something more like this example:

The access zone information—time zones for each reader—can then be downloaded per user. Of course, this reduces the total user capacity. Users assigned individual access zones can take up twice as much space in controller memory; therefore only half as many users can be enrolled. However, this only applies to those users with this feature enabled.

To enroll a user with a Custom Access Zone, set their regular Access Zone to 0 and use CMD 422 to add the custom access information. Signify the reader the designated user can access during the specified time zone in this way:

422 * 4 * 0 * 51 #

This example indicates that user 4’s custom access is set at Reader 1 during Time Zone 51. Notice that Reader 1 is indicated by 0, so that readers are specified in the form:

(Reader #) – 1

You can specify more than one reader or door by adding new arguments to a string. Each new argument represents an additional time zone and assumes the next reader/door in the sequence. For example:

422 * 4 * 0 * 51 * 51 * 51 #

indicates that the next two readers—in this case, Readers 2 and 3—also accept User 4’s access at Time Zone 51.

To specify another time zone for the same user and reader, you must create a new command line. For example:

422 * 3 * 2 * 51 #

422 * 3 * 2 * 52

indicates that User 3 has access at Reader 3 during both Time Zones 51 and 52.

Assuming an access zone is enabled at the controller, this command lets the host system set the values. Reallocation initializes all data, so it's important to enable all the features you intend to use before sending the data with this command.

The fully-compliant v7.0 front-end host may use the new v7.0 Extra curricular Data Record Download feature in lieu of this command.

Example:

START 422 * 5 * 0 * 65 * 65 * 65 * 65 #

START 422 * 5 * 8 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 #

Sets User 5's Custom Access to Time Zone 65 at Readers 1 – 4 and Time Zone 4 at Readers 9 – 12.

• Indexed commands, Function 34, consist of these Access/ Control Zone arguments equivalents:

To assign a function group, defined using CMD 426, to a range of users, use subcommand 37.

Description:

Use this command to change a range of users from one function to another. The access zone or control zone can be left alone or changed as well. This command is used to convert automatically generated access users into control users of a specified function.

The fully-compliant v7.0 front-end host can use the new v7.0 Code Record Download feature in lieu of this command.

Example:

START 425 * 100 * 150 * 22 * 2 #

Change Users 100 to 150 To Momentary Mask These Users For Control Zone 2

Syntax:

START 454 * MTZ/GTZ * Standard or Master Time Zone #
START 454 * MTZ/GTZ * TZ * TZ #
START 454 * MTZ/GTZ * TZ * TZ * TZ #
START 454 * MTZ/GTZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ #
START 454 * MTZ/GTZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ #
START 454 * MTZ/GTZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ #
START 454 * MTZ/GTZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ * TZ #

Description:

Use this command to define master (MTZ) and grand master (GTZ) time zones as complex multiple time zones.

Time zones can restrict the use of codes when used to define an access zone, or regulate the automatic scheduling of an event when used to define a control zone. Most of these time zones include only one set of start and stop times along with a set of valid days. However, when more complex time controls are required, you can assign

any combination of standard time zones (up to a maximum of eight) as master time zones

any combination of standard or master time zones (up to a maximum of eight) as grand master time zones

Rather than go through a laborious process of writing a whole series of MTZ and GTZ commands, this command enables you to assign up to eight TZs or MTZs in the same line. Unspecified columns are left blank.

Example:

START 454 * 68 * 8 * 25 #

Define Master Time Zone 68 as the time zone matrix shown below.

START 454 * 140 * 70 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 #

Defines Grand Master Time Zone 140 as shown in the matrix above.

CMD 460: PRINT ACTION CONTROL BLOCKS

Syntax:

START 460 * Single Action Control Block #
START 460 * First ACB * Last ACB # 

Description:

Use this command to print the characteristics of action control blocks (ACBs). These indicate how alarms take action—including which relays are triggered and when the ACBs are active in the system.

You can print the characteristics of a single ACB, a range of ACBs, or all ACBs as required. Select 0 (zero) as the single action control block argument to print all control blocks.

Only ACBs that are not set to their defaults are printed.

In v7.0, ACBs 41-72 have been reassigned from their v6.x assignments. In addition, v7.0 introduces several new ACBs.

A complete list of the Action Control Blocks are included under CMD 260.

Example:

START 460 * 1 #

Prints ACB 1

START 460 * 0 #

Print all ACBs

START 460 * 6 * 13 #

Print ACBs 6 through 13

CMD 461: ACTION CONTROL BLOCK OPTIONS

Syntax:

START 461 * First ACB * Last ACB * NNNN * Value(s) #

Variables:

NNNN

1              Trigger Control Zone

4              Trigger Control Zone on Secure

16           General Alarm TZ

32           Duress Alarm TZ

64           Tamper Alarm TZ

128         Trouble Alarm TZ

256         Dial TZ

512         Log TZ

1024       Log Low Priority TZ

This variable is additive, meaning that up to nine actions can be stipulated by NNNN. Add variables to represent the included actions. For example, Trigger CZ (1) and General Alarm TZ (16) would render a variable of 17.

Description:

Use this command to trigger a control zone using an action control block (ACB) or other event, thereby causing special control conditions or annunciation to occur.

In v7.0, the time zone field of the specified control zone is used to determine whether the control zone is actually triggered.

Example:

START 461 * 1 * 2 * 513 * 4 * 5 #

Set ‘Trigger Control Zone’ in ACBs 1-2 to a value of 4, and ‘Log TZ’ to 5. Remember NN is additive where: 513 = 1 (Trigger Control Zone) + 512 (Log TZ).

CMD 479: CHANGE TIME FOR ALARM RELAYS

Syntax:

START 479 * Time1 [* Time2 * Time3 * Time4] #

Variables:

Time1    General Alarms

Time2      Duress Alarms

Time3    Tamper Alarms

Time4      Trouble Alarms

Description:

DIGI*TRAC controllers have one or four dedicated alarm relays. A timer can be set for each of these relays, from 0 (zero)—do not actuate on alarm—to 8100 seconds.

Controllers with a single alarm relay use the same four alarm timers to trip the relay. Each timer is set individually. If any of the four alarm timers is active, the relay actuates. If you need to set one or more of the four conditions to not trip the relay, set its timer to zero.

This setup is used for special interface tasks like configuring digital communicators that transmit any of the four system action control blocks—general alarms on Relay 1, duress alarms on Relay 2, tamper alarms on Relay 3, or trouble alarms on Relay 4—to a monitored central station alarm company. Another task would be tripping local annunciation systems at a central guard station.

The general alarm relay is tripped by any of these conditions: Door Forced or Held Open, Input Tamper, Input Shorted, Noisy, Open, and Out-of-Spec, Occupancy and Passback Violations, and Deadman Timer Expired.

The duress alarm relay is tripped by a user entering their code with a duress digit at a keypad.

The tamper alarm relay is triggered by Box Tamper, ScramblePad/MATCH Reader Physical Tamper and Code Tampering.

The trouble alarm relay is tripped by power failures, battery problems, inactive networks, offline keypads, MATCHs, printers or modems, Report Buffer Threshold Exceeded, and Tag Alerts.

The fully-compliant v7.0 front-end host may use CMD 479 to replace CMD 79, thereby reducing the total number of commands sent to the controller.

Example:

START 479 * 10 #

Changes all four Alarm Relay Actuation Times To 10 Seconds

START 479 * 10 * 20 * 30 * 40 #

Changes Alarm Relay Actuation Times To 10 Seconds for General, 20 for Duress, 30 for Tamper, and 40 for Trouble.

CMD 549: ALERT CONTROL ZONE

Syntax:

START 549 * N * Control Zone #

Variables:

N

0     Alert Control Zone NO

1     Alert Control Zone YES

Description:

Alert a Control Zone is utilized to notify all Users of the specified Control Zone, Standard or Master, that a special condition exists such as: a message is waiting, a new Code is to be issued, a briefing is scheduled, a meeting is required, etc. The Alert is sounded at the ScramblePad Keypad where the User enters their Code as 4 short beeps of the ScramblePad Keypad's Alarm Annunciator. An Alert cannot be sounded at a MATCH reader since it has no audible alarm device.

The Alert message does not trigger any relays.

Example:

START 549 * 1 * 1 #

Alerts Control Zone 1

Default:

None
