EnterpriseSMS System 10 provides a powerful security management solution designed to meet industry requirements for integrated
security and access control management. With unparalleled capabilities, System 10 supports an unlimited number of workstations
running various user stations, and field devices. Implemented according to the robust client/server computing model,
EnterpriseSMS provides an unprecedented level of configurational flexibility to its users.
The System 10 supports a variety of different access control subsystems. These include the Open System Controller (OSC), the
Group 4 MultiNode 3400 and Micronode, and the Cardkey D600-2 and D620.
The standard System 10 license includes the System 10 Server and Database license, one (1) Access Control Subsystem Interface
Module (SIM), one Operator Command Station license, and one Data Control Station license, Ad-Hoc Reporting, Guard Tour, and the
Muster Reporting Package. Additional Subsystem Interface Modules, such as additional Access Control SIMs, Video SIMs, Monitor SIMs,
and Intercom SIMs are available as options for the System 10.
System 10 users with high-end requirements can pick from a variety of options to extend system capabilities. These options include
Redundancy, Host/Sub-Host configuration, and Smart Stations which, in a multiple server environment, can automatically maintain
their link to the active server in the event of failover.
EnterpriseSMS supports industry standard network protocols. Workstations connect to the EnterpriseSMS server over Ethernet or
Token Ring LANs using TCP/IP. Intervening WANs, MANs, routers, and other links are supported so long as they are transparent.
The System 10 is available in a number of packages, from software only to computer systems with software, field panels, and field
devices. You may choose from a variety of operating system environments to meet your actual needs. Systems with mixed operating environments are also supported.
SYSTEM 10 STANDARD FEATURES
Extensive Alarm and Event Processing Capabilities
EnterpriseSMS provides extensive alarm and event management capabilities. Operators acknowledge, process, and release alarms
using a simple, point-and-click interface. Doors, inputs, and outputs can be opened or closed, and Host Macros executed, by the user,
either freely or subject to supervisory approval. If Guard Tour is used, or if CCTV and/or Intercom subsystems are controlled by
EnterpriseSMS, they may be managed. The Badge database may be queried by badgeholder name or badge number, displaying
identification information about the badgeholder, and his/her stored image if present. After all actions, operators either are provided the
option to, or are required to, enter comments regarding the action. Comments are logged with the action message.
User Installability
Like any off-the-shelf software product, EnterpriseSMS is user-installable from CD-ROM. Dealers and users are able to reinstall
their systems should unforeseen problems, such as those relating to computer hardware, occur.
Event and Archive System Logs
EnterpriseSMS maintains two separate log databases for the storage of alarm and event information. All system messages post to the
event log in real time. After a user-defined number of days, aged messages are automatically moved to the archive log. This scheme
permits 24x7 operation of the system, as well as allowing extensive historical data to be stored and queried without impacting normal system operation.
Multiple Operating System Support
Mixed operating environments within single systems are supported. Server and client processes run on WindowsNT 4.0, AIX, and SCO.
In addition, client processes also run on Windows98. (The Integrated Badging Station is not available on UNIX.)
Host Macros
Host Macros allow users to automate access control schemes, procedures, and build custom features. They are system-wide in their scope and operation.
Application Programming Interfaces
Application Programming Interfaces provide users with the ability to share information between other related systems. The External Data
Interface connects EnterpriseSMS with other database applications, such as a human resource system, permitting record updates from
one system to automatically update the other. The External Badging Interface provides support for non-ICS badging workstations. In
addition, the Foreign System Interface allows EnterpriseSMS to log, messages, and in some cases, control, access control systems from different manufacturers.
Database Partitioning
Database Partitioning allows users to logically divide their databases into separate portions. Each partition can be administered as a
separate system, with complete data confidentiality between partitions
Pre-Loaded Configuration Templates
Operational characteristics common to portals or device types are pre-defined as templates. When a template containing a set of
operational characteristics is applied to a portal, that portal assumes that set of predefined behaviors. In this way, large systems
with many portals may be installed quickly and easily.
24 by 7 Operation
All EnterpriseSMS processes are monitored by other system processes to ensure that the system operates continuously 24 hours a day.
Complex Organizational Structures
The ability to handle complex organizational structures makes it easily adaptable to both multi-tenant office facilities and large, departmentalized companies.
Oracle Relational Database Management System
Designed for intensive environments, the Oracle database provides sophisticated features enabling high-availability, high performance, and redundant operation.
User Defined Fields
Users may define up to 100 custom data entry fields for inclusion in the Personnel and/or Badge data records. These fields may be
printed on badges, used for electronic data transfer to or from other databases, or for inclusion on reports generated by using
optional reporting tools available from Oracle.
Multi-Man Areas
This extension of the 2-Man Rule allows the user to define an area requiring any number of badgeholders, and/or designated supervisors, to be present before access is granted.
Enhanced Antipassback
Timed and zoned antipassback schemes are supported. Timed prevents multiple ingresses by a card through a portal without an
intervening egress. Zoned logs the location of a badge through a facility, preventing accesses that are not logically possible. Readers
in a given scheme need not be attached to the same controller.
Duress Access
When badgeholders use a special duress PIN, they access portals while generating alarms to Operator Command Stations, notifying
other system operators that the badgeholder has been coerced to pass through the portal.
Extended Access for the Physically Challenged
When enabled for a given badgeholder, additional time is granted to pass through portals without alarms being generated. The amount of
extended time granted at a specific portal is user-defined.
Executive Privilege
Executive Privilege permits designated badgeholders to gain access through portals in their access profile without regard to schedule, PIN, or antipassback validation.
Keypad Access
When configured for a given portal, users with access through that portal may gain access by keying their Encoded ID [and PIN, for a PIN-enabled reader] without a badge swipe.
Graphical Maps
Users can choose to have alarms post on a graphical map display as well as on the Operator Command Station Alarm Scoreboard. The
displayed map can be zoomed, and the facility navigated using control buttons displaying maps upstairs, downstairs, north, south, east, or west, of the displayed map.
SQL Access
EnterpriseSMS provides access to the SQL command-line prompts, allowing users to run their own SQL database scripts against the
database. SQL scripts may also be called from Event-Responses. Sophisticated users can use this capability to query the database
directly, and create reports to meet special needs.
Key Inventory Database
The key database tracks keys issued to badgeholders. An attempt to deactivate an access when keys are associated with the
badgeholder record displays a warning message to the operator.
Standard Reports and Templates
EnterpriseSMS includes extensive reporting capabilities, including general system log reports, administrative reports (such as
badgeholder activity, badges authorized for specific areas, etc.) and technical system reports.
Ad-Hoc Reporting
The Ad-Hoc Reporting package includes Oracle's Browser, a tool for creating custom reports from the EnterpriseSMS database.
Elevator Control
Elevator control allows access control to, and restrictions to be placed on, specific floors and elevator banks.
Device Warranty Database
The device warranty database is a searchable database with fields for serial number, warranty expiration date, and maintenance
location for each field or computing device making up the system. Predefined warranty information reports are included.
On-Line Help
All system documentation is provided in electronic format.
Single Universal USER Station
A single Data Control Station and Operator Command Station running on the system server is supplied.
Muster Reporting
Muster Reporting provides the ability to check for badgeholder whereabouts in case of emergency. Should an emergency occur,
badgeholders who have not swiped their badges at readers located in designated safe areas are reported.
Guard Tour
Multiple tours may be active simultaneously. Sequential and random checkpoints may be defined in the same tour. While in process, tours
may be paused, terminated, and/or restarted by the system operator.
SYSTEM 10 OPTIONAL FEATURES
Additional Networked User Stations
System 10 supports an unlimited number of networked user stations for extended alarm and event monitoring, high security, badging, and device status monitoring.
Additional/Remote Subsystem Interface Module Support
Subsystem Interface Modules (SIMs) are software processes that act as host processes to various sub-components on the system.
SIMs are available to support Access Control, Video, Intercom, and Data Monitoring subsystems. System 10 supports the deployment of
SIMs on remote workstations in communication with the EnterpriseSMS System 10 Server, greatly increasing the configurational flexibility of EnterpriseSMS.
Multiple Language Support
EnterpriseSMS is available in both French and Spanish (v.3.3.2, available Q12000)
Two Person Approval
The Two-Person Approval feature sends a message to other Operator Command Stations that an operator has attempted to
execute a Door Control, Device Control, or Events transaction. Another user with supervisory authority may then approve the action, or deny it through inaction.
METASYS Interface
The METASYS Interface allows Johnson Controls' METASYS system to connect to EnterpriseSMS to receive and respond to real-time
event activity. Notification of alarms, alarm acknowledgment, update, bypass, and release are supported, as is device control and communication verification.
Large Database Indexing
Large Database Indexing permits extremely large EnterpriseSMS tables to be maintained online and queried efficiently. With this
package, large facilities can keep years of log and badgeholder records on-line, without significant degradation in system operation and response.
Contractor Time Calculation
The Contractor Time Calculation package allows time tracking using standard badge readers. Reports are provided permitting users to verify contractor billing.
Host-SubHost Configuration
EnterpriseSMS can utilize Oracle's Host/SubHost capabilities to configure multiple system servers. In this configuration, one master
server manages a number of subservers. These subservers, usually deployed remotely from the server, allow enterprise-wide deployment
of EnterpriseSMS. Each subserver maintains the subset of the system database most relevant to its local facility.
Enhanced User Administration
Optional Enhanced User Administration includes additional tools for Personnel Entry, Facility Scheduling, Area Definition, Access Template Definition, and System Configuration.
Video SIM
Operator Command Station users may view security points in alarm; pan, tilt, and zoom cameras; and display images from any facility
camera at will. Potential users should contact ICS for specific manufacturer support.
Intercom SIM
Operator Command Station users may view security points in alarm; pan, tilt, and zoom cameras; and display images from any facility
camera at will. Potential users should contact ICS for specific manufacturer support.
Monitor SIM
The Monitor SIM (MonSIM) is a user-defined software module that can accept binary input from any type of electronic device. By
specifying certain data strings to search for in the device's output message, the MonSIM translates those output messages into
EnterpriseSMS event messages, which are then processed normally by the system. It determines the nature of the input (alarm or
event) according to the defined message structure of the device, and log the message to the system logs. Examples of binary systems
supported as such include facility or plant environmental systems, other access control systems, etc.
Redundant Configurations
Redundant Servers each maintain a complete copy of the system databases in synchronization. Should the principal server go off-line,
the secondary server automatically assumes the processing load. In this way, maximum system availability and data integrity is assured.
The redundant servers can be located any distance from one another. SmartStations and SmartSIMs, deployed with redundant
systems, automatically switch to the operating server when a failure occurs, and automatically re-login the operator.
Parking Lot Control
The Parking Lot Control option is a Host Macro permitting operator control and monitoring of a controlled access parking garage. The
macro tracks the number of cars in the garage at any given time, matching that number against the known number of available
spaces. When the garage is full, garage access devices are deactivated, and an output device indicating a full condition is activated.
