39 Paragon95 User Manual Appendix APPENDIX APPENDIX A: CURRENT ALARM AND ACCESS ACTIONS 1) Type 1, On/Action, and Access with Alarm Assigned When an alarm or an access with an alarm assigned is tripped, the function OnBytesFromCom or OnBytesFromNet is called. A map switch is executed if scheduled, and blinking and beeping begins. The function ProcessAlarm is called. Then (except on the server), the function OnIdle calls the function DoActionOnAlarm, which may call for video call, capture, or function or macro execution (a function is executed only if a camera is selected; macro execution does not depend on camera selection). Then OnIdle calls DoAnnuciationOnAlarm, and ClearAnnunciation. This is recorded to the log. When an alarm is acknowledged, a dialog appears. When an access with an alarm assigned is acknowledged a dialog does not display. This is also recorded to the log. When the alarm turns off, it is recorded to the log with no function/macro execution. 2) Type 2, Ack/Action When an alarm is tripped, the function OnBytesFromCom or OnBytesFromNet is called. A map switch is executed if scheduled, and blinking and beeping begins. The function ProcessAlarm is called. The function OnIdle calls DoAnnuciationOnAlarm. This is recorded to the log. When the alarm is acknowledged, the function DoActionOnAlarm is called (except on the server), which may call for video call, capture, or function or macro execution (a function is executed only if a camera is selected; macro execution does not depend on camera selection). When the alarm is acknowledged a dialog appears. The function ClearAnnunciation is called. This is recorded to the log. When the alarm turns off, it is recorded to the log with no function/macro execution. 3) Type 3, On/Off/Action - For server: When the alarm is tripped, the command Alarm On is sent with the assigned camera number, and macro 1 is executed. This is recorded to the log. When the alarm is acknowledged, a dialog appears. When the alarm turns off, the command Alarm Off is sent with the assigned camera number and macro 2 is executed. This is recorded to the log. - For client: When the alarm is tripped, the function OnBytesFromCom or OnBytesFromNet is called. A map switch is executed if scheduled, and blinking and beeping begins. The function ProcessAlarm is called. The function OnIdle calls the function DoActionOnAlarm, which may call for video call, capture, or function or macro execution (a function is executed only if a camera is selected; macro execution does not depend on camera selection). Then OnIdle calls DoAnnuciationOnAlarm, and ClearAnnunciation. This is recorded to the log D / March

40 Appendix Paragon95 User Manual When the alarm is acknowledged, a dialog appears. When the alarm turns off, there is no action. - For No-Net Paragon When the alarm is tripped, the function OnBytesFromCom or OnBytesFromNet is called. A map switch is executed if scheduled, and blinking and beeping begins. The function ProcessAlarm is called. The function OnIdle calls the function DoActionOnAlarm, which may call for video call, capture, or function or macro execution (function is executed only if a camera is selected; macro execution does not depend on camera selection) etc. Then OnIdle calls DoAnnuciationOnAlarm, and ClearAnnunciation. This is recorded to the log. When the alarm is acknowledged, a dialog appears. This is recorded to the log. When the alarm turns off, it is recorded to the log and function/macro 2 is executed. 4) Access with No Alarm Assigned When clicked upon (OnLButtonDown) the function DoActionOnIconHit is assigned. Functions, macros, or video calls may be executed (functions are executed only if a camera is selected; macro execution does not depend on camera selection). Clicking on Access will be recorded to the log if the appropriate check box is set in the properties. 5) Automap Action a) If the automap flag is clear and an alarm with automap is tripped the automap action is executed and the automap flag is set. The automap flag is cleared when the alarm is shunted or acknowledged. b) If the automap flag is set and another alarm with automap is tripped, then automap is executed only if the priority of the new alarm is higher than the priority of the previous alarm. The highest priority is 1. APPENDIX B: ALARM PROGRAMMING 1) A new alarm is set up by selecting an icon from the icon bar. When the Properties dialog is opened an alarm number must be selected. It must be a number different from that of any existing alarms. After a number is selected, the alarm properties can be set up. At this moment the alarm is not yet saved and the title of the window is New Alarm. If the user decides to click OK, he gets the usual message about saving the alarm, and set up is complete. If the user decides to change the alarm number he again is prompted to save. If he does not save the alarm a new alarm number is displayed and he should set up alarm properties. 2) If the user saves the alarm the window title changes to Edit Alarm, No Renumbering, and the user can now edit any alarm by selecting its number. Even if an alarm with the selected number does not exist, the alarm properties can still be set up and saved. These properties will be displayed when in the future this alarm number is selected. 3) There is also the option of saving the properties of multiple alarms simultaneously. To do this, set up the desired alarm properties and click the Copy To button. Select up to 100 alarm numbers in the dialog and click OK. The properties of these alarms will be stored and displayed when the alarm number is selected D / March 2003

41 Paragon95 User Manual Appendix 4) The alarm names require individual set up. APPENDIX C: MONITOR ICONS The Nr. Icon should be placed on a white background. If a white background is not present, a white frame appears. The cursor for this icon is in the shape of a cross. APPENDIX D: AUXILIARY SITE BEHAVIOR When an auxiliary site is clicked the following events happen: 1) If an alarm is assigned to this site and is active, alarm annunciation is cleared, access is acknowledged, and the event is recorded. 2) The current camera is switched to the camera designated in the auxiliary site properties. If this camera is not set up, the camera with the same number as the site is selected as the current camera. 3) The control palette is updated to show the buttons assigned for the site. 4) The system checks for assigned functions or macros, and if positive, execution of the functions or macros follows. 5) Video Hold. If point 2 did not result in the assignment of a new current camera, and Video Hold is checked, the previously assigned current camera remains as a valid camera. If Video Hold is not checked, the current camera is nulled. APPENDIX E: RENUMBERING CAMERAS AND EDITING MACROS 1) When a camera is renumbered, the macros assigned to it do not change. Thus, if the camera number is used in a macro, the macro should be edited. 2) When a macro is added to a camera, its contents are read and stored for use with the camera. If the macro is later edited, it is necessary to open the Add Macro dialog for the camera and save the macro again for the new macro contents to be loaded and executed when needed. APPENDIX F: CHANGE IN ALARM TYPE 1 ICON BAR 1) There were two horn icons (positions 1 and 2 on the left) on the icon bar. The first was moved to position #7. There is still compatibility with previously programmed databases (i.e., the previously programmed icons will appear unchanged). The icon in position #2 was eliminated, and backcompatibility was not preserved (previously programmed icons will show up as door alarm icons). All other properties are compatible. 2) Two new icons were added: broken window in position #1 and broken door in position #2. They have the properties of Type 1 alarms. APPENDIX G: MULTIPLEXER MACROS 1) Macros Macros are provided for switching cameras that are connected to a multiplexer. To program such a camera the following numbers are needed: D / March

42 Appendix Paragon95 User Manual Example: the multiplexer address, from 1 to 64 the switcher site number to which the multiplexer is connected (from 0 to 511) the camera input number on the multiplexer (from 1 to 16) the camera address (from 0 to 511). A CyberDome with the address 510 has input number 5 on a multiplexer with the address 10 which is connected to a switcher site with the address (Mux Switcher Input #) ) Programming to Ensure Proper Switching a) Select a number for the multiplexer macro for camera switching (for example number 200). In programming mode click on the Program button and select the Macro item from the menu. Select macro number 200. In description enter what you want as a title, for example Mux Macro 200. In Select Site choose 5. In Select Function choose 92 (this is a Mux function number). In Select Monitor choose 10. After filling these positions click on Insert Action. On the list to the right you should see three numbers Click OK. Note macro number. b) Select a CyberDome icon and place it on the map. Give it the site number 510, and fill in the dialog. Close dialog by clicking OK. c) In programming mode, double-click the CyberDome icon. A menu appears. Click on the last item: Add Macro. Accept the warning. Set the Macro # to 200. Set the Mux Switcher Input # to 400. Click OK. d) In programming mode click on the Monitor button. From the bottom icon bar select the red monitor icon (a Mux icon). Drag it up. Double click on it, and set the Monitor # to 10. 3) Operating on Multiplexer Cameras (operation is the same as other cameras) a) Click the camera icon to switch to the corresponding camera. b) Right-click to display the monitor screen. A subsequent click on the (non-mux) monitor switches monitor to this camera. A click on the mux monitor (red) switches the camera, if it is connected to that mux. c) A click on the monitor button displays the monitor screen. A subsequent click on the non-mux monitor displays the options, site selection, etc. Selection of the site number (510) switches to this camera. Click on Mux monitor (red) displays the options; site selection gives 16 inputs. Selecting input 5 switches to this camera. 4) Warning: The macro (point 2a) must be assigned before entering its number to the Add Macro box. If the macro is changed, the Add Macro action must be repeated. APPENDIX H:.INI FILES Each Paragon version has its own.ini file, residing in the Windows directory. (C:\WINDOWS (if C:\WINDOWS is not present, then C:\WIN31)): The Paragon Stand Alone file is named kal7.ini Net-Paragon client file is named kalnet.ini Net-Paragon server file is named kalnet-m.ini D / March 2003

43 Paragon95 User Manual Appendix If necessary, the files can be viewed and changes can be made using Notepad or Write. The lines referring to the recent file list are not important. The rest of the existing data files should be the same as the enclosed printouts. If the lines [IconOffset] IconOffset=300 are lacking then not all access icons will be displayed. If the lines [MonitorSize] MonitorSize=0 (the second line could be: MonitorSize=1) are lacking, no monitor size change will be done. If lines referring to the network in Net-Paragon.ini files are missing (under the headings [Machine Name] and [Machine Decorated Name]), network communication will be impaired. APPENDIX I: NUMBER OF ALARMS The initial setup dialog (Program System Setup Initial Setup) contains a setting for the system number of alarms. If the number exceeds 512, special arrangement with the factory is required. Keeping this number low speeds up system operation, and therefore Paragon is programmed for any number less than 513. For this reason we strongly recommend checking that this number is less than 513, and setting it correspondingly. APPENDIX J: ASSIGNING SITE TIME SCHEDULE FOR MACROS AND DOWNLOADING SITE TITLES 1) When opening the Time Schedule dialog for sites and reviewing the list of functions and macros, often only a small number of macro numbers display. This is because only macro numbers reaching the currently assigned highest number are displayed. When a higher number macro is assigned, the list expands. 2) When downloading site titles only the titles of existing cameras (i.e., those having icons) are downloaded. The titles of the other cameras remain unchanged. APPENDIX K: TRANSPARENT ALARMS 1) About Transparent Alarms A new class of alarms has been added to Stand-Alone Paragon and Net-Paragon. A transparent alarm should have two macros assigned: the first one to be executed when the alarm is tripped, and another to run when it turns off. The alarm s icon is hidden on the map and is inaccessible to the guards (thus no blinking, no beeping), and it is not recorded to events and does not show up as pending D / March

44 Appendix Paragon95 User Manual In Net-Paragon the server executes the macros. It does not notify the clients about On/Off action. If the server is down, all existing clients are notified about the alarm and all send macros (thus they are repeated). 2) Assigning a Transparent Alarm The supervisor creates a map and makes it inaccessible to all guards (in user privileges). Next, he drags an alarm icon onto the map, assigns it a number and the two desired macros, and checks the box Transparent. Assigning the macros must be done before checking the Transparent box, because that disallows all changes to alarm properties. All other alarm properties are disregarded. 3) Editing The alarm can be deleted or edited through the Alarm Icon dialog. Clearing the Transparent check box makes the alarm behave like a regular alarm. 4) System Info A transparent alarm shows up in system info as type TRAN. 5) Shunting, Stand-bying A transparent alarm cannot be shunted or stand-byed. 6) User Privileges A transparent alarm fires for all users. APPENDIX L: STATUS ALARMS 1) A new class of alarms has been added. A status alarm has been assigned to accesses. It monitors the device status and goes off when the current status is different from the assigned status. The icon of a door that is normally open will have a red square placed in the left upper corner if it is closed. There is no event recording. To see the icon it is necessary to switch to the proper map. 2) Status alarms do not have a trouble state. APPENDIX M: TROUBLE STATE OF ALARMS A trouble state of alarms has been added. Status alarms and transparent alarms do not have this state. Trouble state is shown by the yellow framing of an icon, and blinking and beeping. Changes to the trouble state happen even if an alarm is shunted. APPENDIX N: PROGRAMMING CLIENTS FROM A SERVER 1) The default setting in kalnet-m.ini under the heading [AccessFile] is AccessFile=0. To program clients from the server this setting must be changed to read AccessFile=1. 2) All the clients hard drives must be accessible for sharing (full access option). 3) Create the directories on the server to support the clients as follows: c:\slave-1\data\graphics\users D / March 2003
