Till now, this functionality was supported only through extended configuration script. To configure the rule in the portal, Time&Space version 10.50 or higher is needed. Tw o-man rule configuration in DAP

3 Zone Wing Application Release Notes Anti-passback soft start functionality This feature supports the introduction of anti-passback into facilities which operate 24/7. Soft start functionality accepts one parameter, a timestamp. Up to that timestamp, all users will be able to exit an anti-passback zone (exiting a zone is defined as performing a registration on a reader configured as an exit reader for that anti-passback zone). After the timestamp, the anti-passback will come to full effect. Please note that this applies only to anti-passback restrictions. All of the other security restrictions (profiles, schedules, etc ) are not affected by this parameter. To configure the rule in the portal, Time&Space version 10.50 or higher is needed. Start time parameter on anti-passback rule Refresh table on Zone Door Settings view Zone Door Settings view on Zone Wing Configuration portal can now be manually or automatically (on predefined time periods) refreshed. This option was added to better reflect the current Zone Door state. The information in the table newer clears if the device is unplugged. Table refresh

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 4 HTTPS client for configuration and profile transfer HTTPS client was added to better handle data-heavy communication such as large profile reloads. Now Zone Wing can transfer all of the profiles as one data packet. This improves speed and reliability of the operation. Diagnostics data in ZoneNet protocol To enable better device monitoring ZoneNet protocol now supports additional diagnostics data such as information regarding space left on device and current device time. Time&Space and Door Cloud device type identification Device type info now holds information about the supported system (Z1W MK2 TS - Time&Space; Z1W MK2 DC - Door Cloud). Application version info has been expanded with build time stamp (e.g. Z1W MK2-2.70.a.180605-1220) in US format. Both information is available on the home page in Zone Device Configuration portal. Extended device type information Hostname resolution To ease installation, we have reintroduced the option of accessing devices by their hostnames. Predefined hostname consists of the word»zone«and last 6 characters of their MAC address. Examples: https://zone0a50c0 for the device with MAC address of C4F4640A50C0.

5 Zone Wing Application Release Notes Reader's LED on channel 0 Reader's LED on channel 0 did not work properly. Initialisation script An issue with initialisation script in which some processes could be started twice Extended configuration An issue where extended configuration files could cause the system to fell into a reboot loop PIN functionality An issue with incorrect functioning of PIN's Invalid hostname Device hostname was not properly communicated and displayed on Zone Device Portal.

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 6 1.1.2 Service Release 2.70.b Zone Device Configuration portal - View renamed Zone Doors Settings view in Zone Device Configuration portal was renamed to I/O Settings to be consistent with all Zone hardware devices. Zone Device Configuration portal - Password reset Zone Device Configuration portal password reset was added in factory reset procedure.

7 Zone Wing Application Release Notes 1.2 Version 2.60 What's New in Version 2.60.a

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 8 1.2.1 What's New in Version 2.60.a Z1W Aperio RS485 Hub support It is now possible to use the Aperio AH30 Hub with the Z1W. Up to 16 Aperio Hubs can be connected to one Z1W via RS485 connection. One Aperio hub can connect up to 8 separate Aperio locks, but a maximum of 21 locks can be used with one Z1W device. T&S should be upgraded to 10.30 or higher for this functionality to work properly. ZAP update The Zone Application Portal has been updated with a new backend, making it faster and safer. New way of storing offline registrations Offline regsitrations are now stored in a first in first out manner. When the connection becomes available the registrations are sent to the DAP, but the last 500 also get stored on the controller itself. Faster reconfigurations Reconfigurations are now stored into an SQL database, increasing their speed by about 10%. No more support for Z1W-MK1 Due to the discontinuation of Z1W MK1, we will no longer be supporting the product with new features. We will, however, continue to provide service releases with important bug fixes. APB maximum occupancy The APB Limit Occupancy functionality has been updated and now works without setting the Limit Duration parameter.

9 Zone Wing Application Release Notes 1.3 Version 2.50 What's New in Version 2.50.a

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 10 1.3.1 What's New in Version 2.50.a Alarms conditioned with schedules Alarm actions on Zone Wing can now be disabled in the specific time period by using conditions. This means that the alarm is not triggered if the schedule conditions are met. User can specify one or more conditions on a single alarm definition. Keep in mind, that this functionality requires Device Administration Portal 10.20 or higher. Conditions view Offline Door alarm message on reconfiguration Offline Door alarm message is now not show on the reconfiguration action if the alarm is not activated.

11 Zone Wing Application Release Notes 1.4 Version 2.40 What's New in Version 2.40.a Service Release 2.40.b Service Release 2.40.c

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 12 1.4.1 What's New in Version 2.40.a Support for OSDP readers OSDP reader management on Z1D was implemented for up to 4 OSDP readers. This enables the control of the following OSDP reader functionalities: OSDP reader badge registration support (it must be noted this is compatible with the customisable Wiegand decoder for maximum flexibility). OSDP keypad support Keypads for entering PIN numbers are also supported. OSDP reader offline alarms support In a case of a broken communication line or a malfunctioned reader, an alarm can be raised to alert of the event. OSDP reader tamper alarm support in a case of triggering the tamper alarm on OSDP readers an alarm can be raised. This greatly improves the security of an OSDP installation. Zone Door configuration for OSDP readers

13 Zone Wing Application Release Notes Zone Door Offline alarm Zone Wing controller now monitors the state of Z1D I/O units which are connected to the CAN bus. This means alarms can be raised in the case of a can network dropout. The alarms include a report of online and offline Zone Doors. System supervision is now greatly improved. Z1D firmware upgrade is not needed as this feature is independent of it. Zone Door Offline message in Live Log Enhanced communication protocol All reconfigurations and profile reload are now marked with a GUID, which is stored on the server and the controller. This enables the server to identify the state and the settings of the controller. Further on, the profile reload was optimised for better support of large installations. The result is up to 4 times faster reload process.

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 14 Zone Device Configuration portal Added information about the time when the last user profile change happened (reload or update) and the time when the last hardware reconfiguration was made. Runtime Info updated Change of communication port A setting for changing communication port was added was added to Zone Device Configuration. The functionality is also supported in Spica Device Manager. Communication port setting in Zone Device Configuration

15 Zone Wing Application Release Notes Added new status for Zone Doors in upgrading state Z1D list on the»zone Door Settings«screen can now be filtered by an option»upgradingfw«to show only the Z1D's which are currently upgrading firmware. New filter option on Zone Door Settings view Added prefix for device type in app. version Device type is now visible in Spica Device Manager, Zone Device Configuration and Device Administration Portal (e.g. Z1W MK2-2.40.a, Z1S - 2.40.a, Z1T - 1.0.b). This eases the differentiation of Spica hardware. Device type info in SDM

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 16 Zone Wing Configuration portal rename to Zone Device Configuration (ZDC). CPU state was removed from maintenance view due to value issues. System reset option was removed due to confusion with Factory reset option. Upgrading Zone Door firmware The option to upgrade Z1D firmware was fixed. This is now possible from the portal. Fail start of application due to corrupted database An issue where the application wouldn't start in case of a corrupted controller database was fixed. The application now corrects the error.

17 Zone Wing Application Release Notes 1.4.2 Service Release 2.40.b Reader LED did not light up upon Open relay action from VSM When open relay action was executed on the specific output in VSM, then reader's LED was not light up. Incorrect output state in case of multiple Input with relay time signals When output received several activation signals type Input with relay time in the short time period, then the output state did not remain open if deactivation time out was not reached. Custom Wiegand format setting lost after reconfiguration in DAP Custom Wiegand format setting was lost after reconfiguration of the controller was executed in DAP.

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 18 1.4.3 Service Release 2.40.c Zone Device Configuration portal - Password reset Zone Device Configuration portal password reset was added in factory reset procedure. Reset Zone Device Configuration portal password using USB An issue with USB key to reset Zone Device Configuration portal password was fixed. Downgrade to previous version An issue with changing application version (aka. downgrading) was fixed. Now it is possible to downgrade any future version (2.70) to 2.40.

19 Zone Wing Application Release Notes 1.5 Version 2.30 What's New in Version 2.30.a

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 20 1.5.1 What's New in Version 2.30.a Configurable wiegand decoder Due to the increasing amount of 3rd party readers and different wiegand formats they are using we have developed a configurable wiegand decoder. This enables us to support different wiegand formats with only a firmware setting. The configurable decoder supports wiegand formats up to 63 bits in length, odd and even parity calculations, facility code and badge ID decoding. Another issue were certain incompatibilities with 3rd party hardware. Specifically, how card information is being handled and sent into the T&S system. Some of the hardware uses a combination of facility code and badge id to represent a card registration, some use only the badge id. In order to enable better compatibility we have developed customizable data handling. Users of Z1W can now configure how the card information will be presented (badge id only, FC only or both) to the T&S software. This will make our hardware more compatible with 3rd party hardware. Custom card setting is uploaded to the device using custom configuration functionality. The current list of decoder settings covers 4 different card formats (Northern 34 bit, No Parity Northern 34 bit, Ultra Light 56 bit and Wiegand 44 bit) which are are available on Time and Access Tech Forum. Since the configuration files are developed exclusively by Spica, please contact our Support for new card formats. Custom card settings

21 Zone Wing Application Release Notes 1.6 Version 2.20 What's New in Version 2.20.a Service Release 2.20.b Service Release 2.20.c Service Release 2.20.d

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 22 1.6.1 What's New in Version 2.20.a Output Toggle Mode within periods Toggle mode functionality can now be limited with periods presented as access schedules in the system. The configuration is set through the new view in Device Administration Portal, called Output Advanced Settings which is available in Time&Space 8.60 or higher. Toogle mode dialogue in DAP

23 Zone Wing Application Release Notes Badge expiration validation Validation of a time parameter which can be set as part of badge expiration did not work correct due to wrong validation of system time zone. Factory reset caused system malfunction A combination of custom configuration script procedure with the System Reset action could cause that the application fell into non-responsive state (application continuously restarted).

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 24 1.6.2 Service Release 2.20.b Extended custom configuration with support for Deister readers Custom configuration script functionality has been expanded with the support for Deister readers with 56-bit Wiegand configuration. For more information, check Zone Access User's Manual. False clocking validation on deactivated output If output was deactivated by a trigger and user has made a registration on the corresponding reader, than the reader signalized access granted instead of access denied. The controller also sent access granted message to the system, but the output did not activate. Multiple toggle modes with multiple schedules Validation of toggle mode end time did not work properly when multiple toggle rules with different schedules were set on the same controller.

25 Zone Wing Application Release Notes 1.6.3 Service Release 2.20.c Windows update breaks communication with Zone Wing Windows 10 update KB3147458 introduced some changes, which caused DAP's communication with Zone Wing to fail. The issue was found in the communication interface of Zone Wing. This fix does not affect the performance of Time&Space system in anyway.

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 26 1.6.4 Service Release 2.20.d Toggle mode backwards compatibility We have added back a legacy option for toggle mode where the mode is enabled if 99 value is set as pulse time on the output. This was brought back because of Time&Space 8.50, which does not have the GUI option for setting this option. Invalid ID from RXR remotes There was an issue with the way registrations using RXR remotes were decoded. The result was that the decoded ID was not equal to the actual RXR remote ID.

27 Zone Wing Application Release Notes 1.7 Version 2.10 What's New in Version 2.10.a Service Release 2.10.b Service Release 2.10.c

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 28 1.7.1 What's New in Version 2.10.a Output Toggle Mode A new functionality was added for output management, called Toggle Mode. The mode functions in a way that a positive registration changes an output state (On/Off) without a timed change back to original state. Real life usage scenario for this functionality could be the following situation: A professor unlocks lecture room doors at the beginning of lectures and locks them at the end with a second registration on the terminal. Configurable Event Notifications A device can now be configured to send out only responses for accepted registrations while all others messages are ignored. This functionality is usually used when we want to control elevator with an access controller.

29 Zone Wing Application Release Notes Badge Filtering Access control logic was extended and can now take actions based on the badge ID filtering and not only on the direct badge ID comparison. With this feature, it is possible to specify a range of badge ID's (for example from 230000 to 230500) which have access rights on the device without the need to insert them into system database.

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 30 1.7.2 Service Release 2.10.b Web Administration Portal redesign Web Administration Portal has been redesigned in order to offer better usability. We have implemented the following changes: New GUI, Added basic parameters which monitor the system (CPU, Storage, Memory), Added general set of actions for managing the controller (Restart Zone Wing application, Reboot OS, System Reset, Factory Reset), Custom configuration script can now be uploaded through the portal, Application's error and restart log are now available. Output Toggle Mode activated by input Output toggle mode can now also be activated with an input which is set as the activator. Custom Configuration compatibility Compatibility of some custom configuration settings has been improved, meaning that now multiple configurations can be valid at the same time (e.g. Two Man Rule and Keyboard Access). Improved application stability Stability of Zone Wing application has been improved, since now the system can handle invalid badge formats which can be sent from defected reader or system misconfiguration. Database initialization During the application upgrade process system database was not properly initialized. Output status change from SW Output status change from Locked to Open did not work properly if triggered from SW (e.g. Visual Space Manager). Update of access profiles In some cases, the update of access schedules did not work well if some access schedules were already defined on the point.

31 Zone Wing Application Release Notes

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 32 1.7.3 Service Release 2.10.c Discontinued support for Internet Explorer 9 in Zone Wing Configuration portal With Zone Wing application version 2.10.c, interactive support for Internet Explorer 9 in Zone Wing Configuration portal has been discontinued. This means that Spica will no longer provide compatibility of it's products with these versions of the browser. Upgrade from 1.6.x application malfunctioned If Zone Wing application was upgraded from 1.6 version to 2.10, the connection in DAP could not be established due to the lack of system permissions on the device. Workaround was to upgrade first to 2.00 version and than to 2.10. Presentation of off-line registrations/alarms in the system When off-line registrations or alarms were transferred to the system, they were marked as on-line. Application stability improved Stability of application has been improved in case of high stress environments.

33 Zone Wing Application Release Notes 1.8 Version 2.0 What's New in Version 2.0.a Service Release 2.0.b (Internal service release) Service Release 2.0.c (Internal service release) Service Release 2.0.d (Internal service release) Service Release 2.0.e (Internal service release) Service Release 2.0.f (Internal service release) Service Release 2.0.g (Internal service release) Service Release 2.0.h (Internal service release) Service Release 2.0.i Service Release 2.0.j Service Release 2.0.k Service Release 2.0.m

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 34 1.8.1 What's New in Version 2.0.a Web Administration Portal To ease up the administration of Zone Access controller, we have introduced web administration portal through which the most important maintenance and monitoring tasks can be done. Web Administration Portal SSL protocol encryption Communication between Zone Access controller and Device Administration Portal is now encrypted by TLS protocol. By default a public certificate is used, however for high secure environments also a private certificate can be set. Keep in mind, that this feature also requires Time&Space system 8.50 or higher.

35 Zone Wing Application Release Notes TLS protocol encryption CAN troubleshooting tool The web portal also has a notable feature we call CAN troubleshooting tool. The tool enables service engineers to gain a deeper insight into the communication between the Z1W and Z1D units. This eases debugging of difficult installations on the field. Support for RXR readers We have implemented support for RXR radio transceivers. They are an RF based technology that enables operating various actions with a use of remote control keys. The communication type used with the transceivers is Data Clock. Access Schedule Update There was an issue with updating access schedules on the wing controller when Access schedule was changed in the Time&Space Manager.

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 36 1.8.2 Service Release 2.0.i Access Profiles update If access profile for a single user on one or more channels was added, than access rights for other channels were removed.

37 Zone Wing Application Release Notes 1.8.3 Service Release 2.0.j Communication port Zone Wing controller now communicates with DAP over 1101 or 1102 port. USB Rescue Key USB rescue key did not work properly.

Zone Wing Application - Release Notes 38 1.8.4 Service Release 2.0.k USB Rescue Key USB rescue key did not work if created on Windows OS.

39 Zone Wing Application Release Notes 1.8.5 Service Release 2.0.m Network Settings Since the initial release, Wing controller had 2 IP addresses (dynamic and static). This combination should ease up network set up and prevent misconfiguration scenarios. However, it turned up that this configuration failed in some environments where more strict network rules were in place. All this led us to change the network configuration to a single IP mode. Now Wing operates either with a dynamic or static IP address. For the compatibility matters, 2 IP address are kept after the upgrade from older version and the single IP mode must be manually set using Spica Device Manager, Web Administration Portal or USB rescue key. USB Rescue Key We have improved the support of setting single IP network settings with the help of a USB key. This is an effective way of solving any network misconfiguration scenarios. Keyboard Access Manual badge ID entry did not work on readers with the keypad. Support is now enabled using custom configuration settings and applies for Wiegand and Data Clock technologies. Zone Wing Application upgrade via Web Administration Portal Upgrade of Zone Wing application did not work properly if it was executed from the web portal. Custom Configuration Script Custom configuration script did not work if the script did not end with an empty line. Now the script works if empty line is included or not.
