What do CRC errors (1465) indicate?

Issue Site experiencing comm issues on the Infinet or MSTP bus. Controller error logs show many 1465 (Cyclical Redundancy Check) errors. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Infinet MSTP b3 i2 Controller error log Cause CRC errors are check sum errors. Before a packet is sent, the sending controller calculates a checksum based on the packets contents. This checksum is then appended to the packet. When the packet is delivered, the receiving controller calculates it's own checksum based on the packets contents. If the check sums do not equal, this indicates that somewhere in the delivery process the packet has been altered, usually due to bad cable or connections, controller grounding, or a bad controller transceiver. For additional information on troubleshooting the infinet or mstp bus, see Infinet and MSTP bus troubleshooting. Resolution CRC errors usually indicate poor signal integrity on the physical bus. Infiltration of "noise" on the comm cable due to the presence of high voltage conductors, radio transmissions, etc. In some cases a failed transceiver may be involved but this is generally not the case. Poor controller grounding can also contribute to this issue. Generally CRC errors call for using a scope to assess the signal integrity on a bus.

Security Expert HID OSDP Reader LED Color Configuration

Issue Tips for Configuring HID OSDP Reader LED Colors Product Line EcoStruxure Security Expert Environment EcoStruxure Security Expert OSDP Reader Cause Additional tips for configuring OSDP Reader LED Colors Resolution The Configuring LED Colors section of AN-254 Configuring OSDP Readers in Security Expert  details the basic steps for LED configuration. This article details some additional areas of the HID reader setup and Security Expert configuration that may be useful when configuring the LED colors.   Note: The steps in this article are specific to an HID Signo RP10 Reader BLE and may not apply to other HID reader models or other brands of OSDP readers.   Upgrade the Reader firmware to the latest version. Earlier versions of the reader firmware would not correctly allow LED control. The Bluetooth option allows the configuration of the reader using the HID Reader Manager App. For detailed information see HID Reader Manager App Information Note: To use the HID Reader Manager App to configure a reader, the Security Technician or Security Installer needs to create and register an account with HID. The Reader Manager Administrator for your organization or company needs to enroll this new account using the Reader Manager Service and issue an invitation code and key authorization for this and other readers. The Security Technician can then verify the key authorization has been received in the HID Reader Manager app. Detailed instructions for all of this are included in the HID Reader Manager App Information URL listed above.   HID Reader Manager App Firmware snapshots       In the HID Reader Manager App, change the Reader Options for LED color to "Host Controlled" in 2 places. The reader must be controlled by the Security Expert controller. Credential Reader AV LED Idle Color Ensure that the firmware for the following hardware is upgraded to these versions or greater in order for LED Color Output to work. Security Expert 4.3.308.46 SP-C 2.08.1234 MRDM2 1.2.590 In Security Expert the Outputs to control the LEDs need to be manually created. Programming> Outputs> Add A pop-up asking to Invert Output will display, select 'No' when prompted Output 3 (GreenLED Port 1) Output 4 (Red LED Port 1) Output 6 (Green LED Port 2) Output 7 (Red LED Port 2)   Name the Outputs whatever is appropriate Example:  GreenLEDPortON RedLEDPortOff LED Colors The default LEDs are Blue when Idle and Green when active. As an example, the LED colors will be changed to Red when Idle and Green when Active. Color Options:   Set the colors for both Red(idle) and Green(active) in the Security Expert Output Command Window for the newly created outputs RedLEDPortOff   GreenLEDPortOn Update the modules and wait for about 15 seconds before activating the output to test. Just saving the updated command setting doesn't work, the module must be updated.   Activate the GreenLEDPort1 - the color should change to what the output was set to in the command. In this case, green. Deactivate goes back to Off (idle) Red. GreenLEDPort1 = On State RedLEDPort1 = Off State   Note: The Off state if left at the default of Blue can't be used with the On state of custom(non-default). Both Outputs must be specified in the command window for the colors to work together.   Example: If the OFF state is left at the default of blue and the color of the ON state is set in the command window and Activated, the LED color will change to what it is set to(green), but when deactivating the Off(idle) output it will not turn blue.

What are the available I/O point channels when using an i2 controller on an Infinity system?

Issue How do points map from a i2 controller and the xP expansion modules to Infinity SX8000? Environment Using Continuum i2 controllers and xP modules on SX8000 Infinity systems. Cause The I/O channels on expansion modules are different from Infinity to Continuum. Resolution You can add an i2 controller to your Infinet networks on Infinity and it will co-exist with the other Infinity controllers. The controller will be seen as a equivalent infinity controller i.e. a i2850 will be seen as a TCX850. Also you will not be able to use any of the additional features that a i2 controller has like the flash memory or the smart sensor connection. For Expansion modules you could however use the xP modules (not including the xP display) the attached spreadsheet that shows how the i2 controllers I/O channels will be seen by the Infinity Controller. Download the spreadsheet here.

Security Expert functionality starts to degrade

Issue Seeing multiple losses of functionality starting to occur, such as controllers going offline, browsing with the client being slow, reports failing to run and events not being logged. Product Line EcoStruxure Security Expert Environment Security Expert SQL Server Warning Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support for assistance. Cause In SQL Server the SecurityExpertEvents database has a very large LOG file ( hundreds of gigabytes) resulting in degraded performance in SQL and Security Expert.   The Recovery model of the SecurityExpertEvents database is set to FULL and the database has not been maintained. When using the Full recovery model, regular backups of the transaction log should be performed to prevent the transaction log file size from growing out of proportion to the database size. Recovery model fullRecovery model full New user databases are created with the same recovery model as the model database. The default recovery model for the model database depends on the edition of SQL Server you have installed. Editions targeted at test and development environments (SQL Server Express) set the recovery model of the model database to SIMPLE. Other editions set the recovery model of the model database to FULL. Resolution Reduce the size of the log file and prevent it from getting too large again by changing the recovery model of the database from FULL to SIMPLE. The databases are then shrunk to free up drive space.   Refer to the following steps: Take a backup of both the SecurityExpert and SecurityExpertEvents databases and store them in a safe location Change the Recovery Model of the SecurityExpertEvents database from Full to Simple in SQL Server Management Studio. To do this, right-click on the SecurityExpertEvents database and go to its properties. Select 'Options'. Change the Recovery Model setting to Simple. Recovery model simpleRecovery model simple Right-click on the SecurityExpertEvents database and select Tasks > Shrink > Files Shrink filesShrink files In the Shrink File - SecurityExpertEvents window, change the File type to Log. Shrink log fileShrink log file Click OK Repeat steps 2-5 for the SecurityExpert database   It is recommended that regular scheduled backups be configured when using the SIMPLE recovery model. In SIMPLE recovery mode, changes since the most recent backup are unprotected.

How to avoid EBO license damage in virtual environment

Issue The EBO license is activated on a virtual machine, need to make sure that it will not get damaged. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Enterprise Central Building Operation Workstation Cause Scenarios leading to broken Trusted Storage (license damage), when license is activated on a Virtual Machine. In some cases, the License Administrator can be used to repair the license, and in other cases, product supported will need to be contacted. Resolution FlexNet documentation explains how licensing in virtual machines works, what causes license damage, and how to avoid license damage. Make sure that documentation is related to the FNP version (FlexNet publisher) used by installed EBO, ex. EBO V4.0.2 uses version 2021 (11.18.1) and EBO V5.0.2 uses FNP V2022 R3 (11.19.2).  You can also check the FNP version by checking the properties, details of lmadmin.exe file located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric EcoStruxure\Building Operation x.x\License Server Binding elements for licenses activated on a virtual machine: FlexNet publisher documentation lists three binding elements for virtual machines, all of which are deal breakers: MAC address, UUID, and Generation ID, refer to Binding in a Virtual Environment (revenera.com)  Scenarios that can cause license damage (Trusted-Storage Breakage): In the attached FlexNet White Paper: Understanding Virtualization Features in FlexNet Publisher, Page 9, details binding variables and which scenarios can change each binding element. Page 11 in the same white paper, Recovering from a Binding Break in TS, explains common scenarios leading to broken TS and if a license can be repaired.  WebHelp article EcoStruxure Building Operation Software License Repair, explains other reasons for license damage, for physical or virtual machine.  Please contact your local support if the License Administrator can't repair the license. Best Practices to avoid Trusted-Storage Breakage: To minimize license damage, follow the below steps before making changes to the bindings elements or moving EBO to a new VM. Make a backup of EBO, Backing Up EcoStruxure BMS Servers Manually Return all licenses, Returning an EcoStruxure Building Operation Software License. Verify that all licenses have been returned for all used Entitlements by logging in to https://licensing.se.com. Perform your operation. Activate the licenses again, Activating EcoStruxure Building Operation Software Licenses. FlexNet lists best practices that can also be followed to avoid trusted storage breakage: Best Practices (revenera.com)
