How to generate an invalid attempt alarm

Issue How to generate an invalid attempt alarm. Product Line Security Expert Environment Security Expert Cause It is not clear how an alarm for an invalid attempt at a Door is configured. Resolution The easiest way to setup an alarm to trigger when an invalid attempt is made at a reader is to trigger an Alarm off of the required Event. An example would be: Under Events create a new Event Filter, go to Event Types tab, un-tick "Include all event types" and add the events you want to monitor. In this case "User Door Group Not Valid At Door Using Access Level" should suffice as a start. To ensure you have the correct events you can create the event condition and confirm exactly what the event recorded is. Under Events create a new Alarm and set the Event Filter to the Event filter you created in step 1. Under Monitoring setup a Status Page that includes All Alarms (or alternatively is filtered for the specific alarms you want to see).

Using the Save command in Plain English programs

Issue When the Save statement is used to save objects in a BCX4040 to the database. Steps to reproduce problem: Create an InfinityString object (Test.Str) with a manual array size of 1 in a BCX4040. Create a program in the BCX that sets the value of Test.Str[1] to 'Success' From command line, print the value of Test.Str[1] while the workstation is in OnLine mode. The value should = 'Success' From command line, print the value of Test.Str[1] while the workstation is in Offline mode.  No value should be returned as the value has not been updated in the database. Create a fallthrough/autostart program in the workstation with the following code: FIRSTLINE: Save \TestNet\TestACX\Test.Str -0 Goto StopLine STOPLINE: Stop From command line, print the value of Test.Str[1] while the workstation is in Offline mode.  The value should now = 'Success'.  Expected result: The value returned for Test.Str when the workstation is in Offline mode (Database value) should 'equal the value returned when the workstation is in Online mode (Live Value), i.e. = Success' Actual result: The Offline value of Test.Str[1] does not change and does not equal the value live value. The resulting ACC_Dump_Debug that is produced is found to have no contents. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Continuum  Plain English Cause The following Plain English code does not accomplish a Save to Database. FIRSTLINE: Save \TestNet\TestACX\Test.Str -0 Goto StopLine The functionality of the Save command is not to perform a "Save to Database" operation. This is a functioning as designed. The Save command, which is equivalent to the Dump command, dumps the contents of the passed-in arguments (i.e. objects) to a file if provided Resolution Workaround: When a manual Save to Database is done on the object, the database value is updated with the current Live value.

Default List views are missing columns after being re-created with Continuum database initialization update database option.

Issue After a missing or deleted default list view is re-created using the Continuum database initialization utility; the list view does not contain any columns. Environment Cyberstation Cause This issue is caused by a Continuum defect issue that cannot be corrected at this time. QC#2222. Resolution There are several workarounds that can be used to resolve this issue. 1)      Columns can be manually added back to the list views re-created by the database update option. 2)      The default list views can be reimported from the DefaultListViews.dmp file in the Continuum folder.  This would overwrite all default list views there by losing any customization to existing list views. 3)      Individual list views can be imported from a dump file created from another Continuum Systems to provide pinpointed recovery of certain listviews.

Converting an Access Expert site from V2 to V3

Issue Needing to convert a site from V2 to V3. Product Line Access Expert Environment Win 8.1 and above Hosted Version 2 Version 3 Cause There are no directions on how to convert a Hosted Site on V2 to V3. Resolution When converting from V2 to V3 there are a few things that need to be verified first before attempting this action: Verify that the site does not have any SSC's that are configured as FN-4502, this information would have to be passed on prior to attempting the conversion by creating a case with your local country support group. Once the all clear has been given by product support, then the process can be started. Using two monitors bring up an instance on each for comparison Verify that all users, Access Levels, Schedules, Trigger and Procedures etc are in place Once confident, then connect to each SSC and change the Host IP name from the xxx.accessxpert.com to us.accessxpert.com Click on the View All Hardware Icon to see when the SSC comes online Once this happens, click on the Update firmware to get to the latest version downloaded to the controller When the device comes back online, verify that all the sub devices comes online as well If not then perform a Push Controller Database to the controller again When the controller comes online, all the subdevices should come online as well as Readers etc. At this point everything in V2 will become Unknown and can then be deactivated

Locked in SmartXKiosk after first-time startup before a password has been set

Issue After starting up the SmartX Advanced Display for the the first time, the operator finds himself stuck in SmartXKiosk mode before having any chance to select a password/PIN code. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Advanced Display v1 Advanced Display v2 Cause SmartXKiosk has been selected as launcher. The first time the SmartX Advanced Display is booted up the operator is presented of a choice to use  SmartXKiosk or TouchWiz as launcher. If SmartXKiosk then is selected instead of TouchWiz the operator will enter SmartXKiosk without having set a password first. Resolution Request an unlock code (PIN) from your local support center, which will enable the operator to exit Kiosk Mode. Press the Home (Hardware) Button at the SmartX Advanced Display. This will enable you to choose launcher again. Make sure that "TouchWiz" is selected. Note: In the next release this will note be an issue, since you are forced to select "TouchWiz" at first use to proceed (if SmartXKiosk is selected, you will be prompted to choose again)

MPX firmware versions from the controller error log

Issue Converting the entries from an MPX controller error log can be useful when there has been a software revision change. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment EBO MPX Cause There may be an entry in an MPX error log that shows as follows: 25 I 2018-07-02 10:07:36.56 0x00006409 0x20000015 0x80018a15 0x10000134 0x18061101 Software revision change Resolution The ability to extract the firmware revision numbers from the controller error log is useful especially if you do not have the device report. Take a look at the last 2 numbers of the following line: 25 I 2018-07-02 10:07:36.56 0x00006409 0x20000015 0x80018a15 0x10000134 0x18061101 Software revision change 0x10000134  == 1.00.01.00134  (please disregard the missing 01) 0x18061101 == 2018 06 11 (ignore the trailing 01 in the hex number)

Issue creating Lon bindings

Issue Trying to create a Lon binding from two or more nvo's in one Lon device (hub) to two or more nvi's in many Lon devices (targets), a so-called fan-out binding. The binding between the first Lon devices works fine, but when trying to create the binding from the Hub Lon device to the second Lon device (target) it does not work. The binding window for the second Lon device (target) is opened; the Lon device (hub) is chosen in the browser window on the right side; and the nvo in the hub is dragged to the nvi in the second target device. But the binding tool will not accept this binding. It is not possible to release the nvo from the Hub Lon device on the nvi in the second target Lon device. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Workstation LON Devices Cause Normally when creating a binding using the EBO binding tool you open the binding window for the target (receiver of the value). But in this particular case you need to do it the other way around and open the binding window for the hub (sender of the value) instead, and then drag the target to the hub. Read more about Fan-out Bindings in the Webhelp. Resolution Go to the Lon device with multiple ins or outs (hub) and open the bindings window In the browser window on the right side find the target Lon device Drag the nvi from the target device to the nvo in the hub Lon device
