Configure Hardware Components

Hardware components are the physical panels, terminals, and other inputs and outputs that make up the security management system.

After the physical panel and terminal hardware is set up at the various system locations,

panels and terminals must be created and then configured using the PEGASYS 1500 software program.

The logical configuration sequence, however, does not follow the order presented on the System Configuration window.

The recommended hdwr config sequence is: Panels, Terminals, I/O Points & Groups.

Create Panels

Field panels are advanced intelligent controllers that interface between the Server and other hardware in the system.

The Panel and Server communicate via a 10 Base-T network.

You must configure panels before you configure other system hardware.

Panel Tabs: General, Address, Access, Alarm, and History.

Soft Input Points :

Panel Down soft input point is automatically created for input point 25.

If you rename the panel, you must edit the input point to manually enter the new panel name.

History Tab:

History settings govern how the panel uploads data to the Server, and how long the panel

retains data in the transaction database before older data is deleted.

Configure Panel Components

When a new panel is created, the new Panel icon is listed under the root Panels icon,

and placeholders for all panel components are added under the new panel.

Some components must be configured before they can be applied to other components

For example, you must configure Panel Time Zones before you can complete Terminal configuration,

you must configure Terminals before you can create Soft Alarms, Input and Output Points and Groups, and Panel Card Events.

Recommended configuration sequence: Panel Time Zones, Panel Holidays, Terminals, Additional Panel Componets.

Soft Alarms

Input and Output Points

Panel Time Zones

Panel Card Events

Create and Configure Terminals

Terminals are add-in boards such as reader boards and Input/Output boards.

These are installed into the panels to control external devices such as:

--->

card readers

--->

input groups such as: alarm monitoring devices

--->

output devices that control other devices suc

lights

air conditioning

alarm annunciators

Each terminal installed in your system must be set up and configured to establish communication and control.

(Once Terminals are configured, they may be included in Terminal Grps and associated with Input Pts and Grps to report alarms and trigger events. )

Recommended setup and configuration sequence:

Set up Terminals for Each Panel

Create Terminal Groups

Create Input and Output Points and Groups

Create a New Terminal

Terminal Tabs: General, Flags, Access, Timezone, Facility Codes, Card Type.

Create Terminal Groups

I/O Points & Groups

Create Output Points:

Output Points are dry contact relays located on the Terminal boards.

They are opened or closed by the system to control devices connected to them.

Create Output Groups:

Output Points can be grouped together to perform common functions.

For example, an input such as an air sampling device can be configured to activate a group of exhaust fans

connected to output points on a terminal.

Create Input Points:

Input points can be physical connections to monitored devices such as a window or door contact, or a motion detector.

They can be software alarms that are reported to the system, and can be connected to alarm popups and instruction text.

They can also trigger an event or an output device.

Configuring Reader Terminal Hardwired Input Points:

When a reader terminal is created, three input points are reserved for specific inputs:

These have to be configured in the Soft Alarm window -->

input point 18 and 24 are reader terminal door contact points (Forced and Propped door)

input point 25 is a terminal down input point.

When the Office Entry Reader was created and “Forced Door (18), Propped Door (24)” was enabled in the Edit Soft Alarm window, the system created

the Input Points icon with two entries beneath it.

The first input point, named “Forced Door Office Entry Reader” was created for input point 18.

The second input point, named “Propped Door Office Entry Reader” was created for input point 24.

You can use these input points as a door contact alarm.

If enabled in the Input Point dialog box, these input points will report to the Alarm Queue and Real Time List if the

door contact is broken, or if left open longer than the configured alarm suppression for the reader.

Note:

If you rename a terminal that has a Forced Door or Propped Door input point, you must edit the input points to manually enter the

new terminal name, as in “Forced Door <terminal name>” or “Propped Door <terminal name>."

As an alternative, you could also disable the “Forced Door (18), Propped Door (24)” in the Soft Alarm window and then enable it

again to automatically create the input points under the new terminal name.

When a reader terminal is created in the system, a Terminal Down Input Point is automatically created for input point 25 on the

terminal and appears under its input point icon as Term Down <terminal name>.

If enabled in the Input Point dialog box, this input point will report to the Alarm Queue and Real Time List.

If disabled, the alarm will not report to the Alarm Queue, but will continue to report to the Real Time List.

Note:

If you rename a terminal that has a Terminal Down Input Point, you must edit the Terminal Down Input Point to manually enter the

new terminal name, as in “Term Down <terminal name>.”

Create Input Groups:

Input Points from the same panel can be grouped to perform related functions.

For example, motion detectors within a specific area can be grouped together to trigger an alarm or other output when activated.

You can create as many input groups as you need; however, an individual input point can be included in no more than three input groups.

Entry/Exit Delay

Alarm Queue

You can create pop-up instructions for Alarm, Secure, Short, and Open states.

Create Panel Card Events

Panel Card events operate independently from the Server and therefore affect only the Panel for which they are configured.

Panel Card events are particularly useful for panels that operate offline, such as in areas that must remain operable if the network goes down.

Note:

Panel Card events are configured for each panel while “System” events are configured for the Server.

For more information on System Events, see Chapter 3: Operating the System, Creating Events.

Configure Soft Alarms

Soft alarm points and their addresses are created by the system during installation rather than hardwired to an actual input point.

You can enable these soft alarms for Readers, Terminals, or Panels.

Set up Access Groups and Cardholders

Access Groups

Are assigned from the System Configuration window.

After terminals and terminal groups have been configured, you can group them together to create common access groups.

For example, you can assign two terminals that control the doors into a common area, such as a warehouse, to an access group.

When you assign a cardholder badge to that access group, the cardholder will be granted access to both doors in the group.

This is a quick way to assign badges access to a large number of doors and areas.

Cardholder Options

Are assigned via the PEGASYS Main menu.

At a minimum, a first and last name must be entered into the Cardholder database for each person who will have access to your facility.

Cardholder data entry is typically performed as part of system operation.

However, if your facility will take advantage of additional cardholder information, such as company and department definition, and any

other information specific to the company (defined in User Defined fields), these must be configured prior to adding cardholders, to

make this information accessible from the Cardholder Edit dialog box.

You can also create access templates to speed cardholder and badge data entry. Complete instructions are presented in the following sections:
