Introducing Chubb AFx™

On the following pages are descriptions that will assist you in understanding the fundamental design concepts that drive the

Chubb AFX™ product line.

Definitions


Also known as a partition : a defined perimeter with distinct intrusion and access characteristics (such as entry / exit delays and automated arming) independent of other areas. In an industrial building, the offices could be designated as one area, and the plant as the second area. Chubb AFx™ is area-centric, meaning input points, outputs and doors are assigned to a spe-cific area. There are 16 areas available per Chubb AFx™ panel. Through expansion the Chubb AFx™ system can support a total of 1600 areas per individ-ual account (site).

Input points are physical connections used to monitor the security devices connected to the Chubb AFX™ system. Typical intrusion point de-vices are door contacts, motion and glass break sensors, smoke and environmental condition detec-tors, and panic devices . Each Chubb AFx™ panel has 12 input points and can support up to 256 such points via expansion modules. Each Chubb AFx™ input point can be supervised with a programmable resistance value and diagnosed remotely with the use of Director Security Management software.

INPUT POINTS

Outputs are used to generate an action, based on a com-mand from the Chubb AFx™ panel. Typically, outputs trig-ger sirens, turn lights on or off, open a garage door, etc. There are 2 relay outputs on the main panel which may be expanded to 128 relay or transistor outputs (up to twelve of which may be reserved for numeric paging). Outputs can be triggered by a single event, manually from the Chubb AFx™ LCD keypad or according to a logical combination of up to 15 conditions using Boolean equations (AND ,OR, NAND,NOR). The wide variety of options for AFx™ outputs allow creative solutions to application challenges without the addition of other equipment such as timers and relays.

OUTPUTS

AREA

Definitions


An account corresponds to a Chubb AFx™ system in a specific location (site) : a single ac-count can consist of one or multiple Chubb AFx™ panels connected to share information such as users, schedules, authority levels, etc. A fully expanded Director application supports up to 1000 AFx™ accounts.

ACCOUNT

USERS

Authority levels simplify the process of adding users to the Chubb AFx™ system. These levels determine which areas a system user may access, which commands they will be able to use, and when they will be able to do so. By creating custom authority levels for each group of users - i.e. Office Workers, Warehouse Workers, etc. - any indi-vidual added is simply assigned an existent authority level to be instantly ‘activated’ in the Chubb AFx™ system.

AUTHORITY LEVELS

Users are the people who will interact with the Chubb AFx™ system on an everyday local basis. They will have access privileges and control over intrusion commands consistent with their position on the premises : for in-stance, a company president will likely have full privileges on a 24-hour basis, whereas a cleaner may only be al-lowed entry during specific time periods and have little or no control over the armed state of the system. A user’s abilities in a Chubb AFx™-controlled application are de-termined by their assigned authority level.

Schedules consist of times and days of the week . They are used in conjunction with the areas of a Chubb AFx™ application to create authority levels that will determine a user’s ability to access and control the system. Schedules can also be applied to areas and doors to automate func-tions like automatic arming and locking/unlocking of doors (in areas where public access is occasionally permitted).

SCHEDULES

Definitions


Supervision is an important concept in security : it refers to the ability of a system to monitor the presence and status of a device or devices that are associated with the system, either by physical (hardwired) connection or Radio Frequency (wireless) transmis-sion. If a device is disconnected or malfunctioning, supervision will provide instantaneous notice of the condition, prompting an immediate response to investigate and correct if necessary. Control panels also monitor local conditions such as the AC power supply, telephone line and backup battery .

Anti-passback is a mode of operation in access control that requires a user to both enter and exit a designated area before that user can enter the same or another controlled area. This prevents users from loaning their cards to other users and provides a comprehensive audit trail of a user’s passage through a system. Anti-passback can be pro-grammed to reset after a specified time period.

ANTI-PASSBACK

TROUBLE

SUPERVISION

The SNAPP communications bus is the four wire connection between the Chubb AFx™ panel and the application mod-ules that make up a system. Serial Network Alarm Panel Protocol is the ‘language’ that all Chubb AFx™ modules use ...this encrypted, fully supervised high speed protocol en-sures rapid execution of all access/intrusion commands. The wide variety of Chubb AFx™ application modules makes the system flexible enough for centralized or distributed installa-tions, or premises combining both concepts.

SNAPP

The Chubb AFx™ platform employs a modular de-sign : the basic panel can function as a standalone intrusion system but easily expands by adding SNAPP application modules. Each module will add a specific functionality such as additional points of protection, access control or elevator control.

MODULES

Definitions


The Feature Set of an AFx™ system determines the features and capacities available to system users. The Feature Set of an AFx™ system is determined by a programmed value in the control panel (represented by the first row in the table above). For example, an AFx™ system pro-grammed with a Feature Set value of 1 would support a single panel system of up to 16 areas, 20 users, 30 authority levels and 50 schedules. The highest Feature Set a basic AFx™ control panel can support is 3. The Feature Expansion board is added to the AFx™ basic control to support Feature Sets 4 - 7 : the FEB is also required to support access control (*Feature Sets below 4 are also supported with the addition of the FEB—for example, a site with access control that requires no more than 20 users could be programmed to operate at Feature Set 1 to allow system users to log in with only a four-digit Personal Identification Number). Feature Sets 5 and above are typically larger sites involving multiple Chubb AFx™ panels con-nected together to form one large system. Director Security Management Software is required to configure and manage such systems on an ongoing basis. (Note : Director software can be used for security management of any AFx™ sites, regardless of Feature Set value—see pages 32-44 for additional details).

The Chubb AFX™ is a highly flexible system that will suit virtually any building or site.

The two basic installation configuration styles are centralized and distributed. The following examples are extreme illustrations of these styles. Most sites will follow one general style, but

incorporate elements of the other to suit an application’s unique characteristics.

Installation Configurations

System Design Guide July 2008-MKTG6119

The Exit 1 door contact is wired to a zone input on the Chubb AFx™ LCD keypad. The Exit 2 door contact and showroom motion sensor are wired to the 8 zone input point expander : only the four wire fully supervised SNAPP connection is required to connect to the Chubb AFx™ control panel. The contact on Exit 3 is wired directly to one of the eight inputs on the control because of its proximity to the main control panel.

Intrusion-only systems are typically distributed, which means that the LCD keypads, point expanders, and wireless module devices will be mounted fairly close to the de-vices they control (door/window sensors, motion detectors, etc.)

Centralized Access Control Installation

The control panel and access modules are installed in a centrally-located utility room. RS 485 bus wire runs tend to be shorter, while module device wire runs are longer.

Advantages: Trouble shooting is easier as all devices are in one single location Power management is easier as all devices are in one single location. Disadvantages: More expensive to wire (individual wires have to be run from the utility

room to each sensor, reader, door strike or magnetic lock).

Card readers, door strikes and door contacts on each exit are wired to the four-door access mod-ule, which is connected to the Chubb AFx™ via the four-wire SNAPP bus. The door contacts do not take up any of the available 256 input points on the Chubb AFx™ system but are automati-cally associated with their respective doors via connection to the door module : these are impor-tant for detection of Door Forced and Door Held Open conditions. The LCD keypad module is re-quired for local editing of users and system control. A second card reader could also be added to each door for controlled exit purposes.

Distributed Access Control Installation The control panel will typically be in a centrally located room, while the modules will be in-stalled close to doors, windows, and other locations that are being controlled or protected. RS 485 bus wire runs tend to be longer, while module device wire runs are shorter.

Advantages: Less expensive to wire because the RS 485 cable is run to the

modules and connections to the sensors, readers or door strikes are short.

Disadvantages: More difficult to trouble shoot as the devices are further apart. Power management is more expensive as devices are scattered throughout the facility.

Card readers, door strikes and door contacts on each exit are wired to two-door access modules, which are connected to the Chubb AFx™ via the four-wire SNAPP bus. The contacts are not con-sidered Intrusion points but are associated with their respective doors : these are important for de-tection of Door Forced and Door Held Open conditions. The LCD keypad module is required for local editing of users and system control. A 2nd card reader could also be added to each door for controlled exit purposes (Version2 door controllers only).

Hybrid Intrusion/Access Control Installation

Hybrid installations incorporate elements of both centralized and distributed systems, de-pending on the unique characteristics of an application. Factors such as a premises’ con-struction, the location and number of protective devices - even cosmetic considerations - can influence the design of a Chubb AFx™ system. The flexibility of the Chubb AFx™ plat-form supports virtually any combination of centralized and distributed module installation.

Chubb AFx™ System Architecture

The AFx™ control panel is the heart of Chubb’s scalable and expandable inte-grated Intrusion / Access platform. Each AFx™ panel can function as a standalone intrusion system : should a site’s requirements change, application modules are added to expand the sys-tem’s capacities to add security devices, access control, elevator access control and full system management capability where required.

Even installations that use the AFx™ solely for the purpose of intrusion detection will benefit from the sophistication of its powerful microprocessor-based structure, which incorporates features gener-ally associated with high-end commercial systems.

SMART / High-Security Communications / Printer Module This module is an interface to upgrade sites using the Chubb SMART concentrator to AFx™ system compatibility. It is capable of supporting up to 64 input points and 80 output points. It includes a high-security communications module for MK7 DVAC en-crypted alarm reporting . Also onboard is a printer connection. Counts as three mod-ules on an AFx™ system.

High-Security Communications Module The high-security communications module uses DVACS communications to send alarm and event information to the central monitoring facility. The communi-cator is polled every 90 seconds by the central station and if the unit does not re-spond during this poll it is an indication that disconnection or failure has occurred. For additional information on DVACS see the Communications Guide (page 77).

Input Expansion Modules Input expansion modules are used to add monitored security devices (intrusion, panic, fire, etc ) to the Chubb AFX™ when system requirements ex-ceed the 12-device capacity of the AFx™ main control panel. They also add out-puts to the 2 base output points on the panel’s motherboard. All inputs are su-perviseable with the included 2.2 kΩ resistors.

The expander without annunciation is used mainly to add monitored input points (intrusion, fire or process control). The LED annunciator model is typically used for two reasons: to provide visual feedback on the state of the system (the LEDs can be configured to activate for virtually any system event, whether it relates to that particular expander or not) or to provide additional output points.

The expansion modules are available in 8 and 16 input versions, both with and without LED annunciation.

GProx II proximity access tokens provide convenient, reliable access control operation without the wear and tear of card technologies requiring physical contact. The cards provide a read range of up to 6 inches and the key fob has a range of up to 4.5 inches. Chubb-logoed badge reels (with belt clip) and lanyards are also available for use with slot-punched cards.

Proximity card technology is currently the most popular access token technology on the market. Proximity readers emit an electronic field that excites components embedded in the access token itself—this excita-tion results in the token generating a number that is ‘read’. The unique number produced by this process acts as an identifier for the individual carrying the token. Because there is no physical contact required be-tween the reader and the token the longevity of proximity readers and

tokens is much greater than older friction-based technologies.

GProx II™ readers offer superior read range in a sealed, weatherproof enclosure. They are available in black and grey, mullion and switchplate styles. GProx II™ arming stations add a keypad to the reader design for enhanced security : these can be programmed to require the use of a Personal Identification Number (PIN) in addition to the presentation of an access token. This functionality can be associated with individual doors and to a schedule to provide a greater level of security in specific areas or after hours. Users can also enter their card or User ID/PIN through the keys to arm and disarm areas, unlock doors etc ac-cording to their level of authority in the system.

Chubb MIFARE tokens have a large memory which may be used for up to 16 applications. Applications can be read only or read/write. • Each card has a unique serial number. • Wireless transmission between the card and the reader is encrypted. • Each application is separate and protected by a 48 bit key. • Only the sector containing GProx II token information is read by

Chubb MIFARE readers.

Mutual authentication is provided between card and reader to ensure that the card being presented is valid. High security ensures that cards cannot be duplicated and data cannot be compromised. The large memory of MIFARE technology cards support storage of user biometrics such as fingerprints (single or multiple). This ensures that a card is not loaned or shared among users. Cardholder privacy is pro-tected because the biometric templates are kept on the card rather than stored in a central database.

MIFARE readers produce a Wiegand output thus allowing MIFARE cards and readers to be retro-fitted to any existing Wiegand based access control system. The arming station reader supports AFx Card + PIN functionality as well as standard GProx II arming station commands. Chubb MI-FARE readers are designed to read the token sector from the MIFARE cards shown below.


Biometric Readers

Fingerprint readers provide an additional level of security by requir-ing a positive comparison between a stored mathematical template and the user’s live print. When the comparison is positive, Weigand information from the access token for that user is sent to the AFx™ access module for processing.

There are two versions: • A 4000 template Weigand input model for use with already in-

stalled or separate readers (i.e. GProx II readers) : it can also be operated in standalone mode that requires no access tokens (supports 500 templates in this mode)

• A model with a built-in HID proximity reader : ideal for sites al-ready using HID readers and cards.

Veri-admin software (included with reader) is used to enroll and manage the users.

Hand Geometry readers take more than 90 measurements of the user’s hand and compare the resulting information (size relationships between palm, fingers, etc.) with a previously enrolled read of the hand. The LCD display is used to enroll users locally : units may also be networked to provide software management . The units support 512 users but may be expanded to support more than 35,000.

Existent access readers may also be connected to the hand geometry reader : information from the access token used with the reader will be passed to the access controller if the hand geometry comparison is posi-tive.

Three versions are available: • Standard indoor model (shown) • A rugged metal housed version for tough commercial environments • A cold weather model designed to withstand harsh winter conditions

Elevator Control

Chubb AFx™ elevator controllers provide access control for up to 1,920 individual cabins (cabs) for up to 120 floors per cab per Chubb AFx™ account. The Feature Expansion Board is required for elevator access control.

There are two basic modules for elevator control : the elevator access module, housed in a small cabinet (identical to the 2-door controller) which connects to the AFx™ SNAPP bus, and the relay module, a separately powered board that has eight relays for interfacing with elevator control equipment.

The 2-cab controller controls all relays for two elevator cabs. The first expansion cabinet will house an isolator board for each cab : this board’s function is to isolate the “clean” data communications hardware from the “noisy” elevator button hardware and relays. One isolator board is necessary for each cab, no matter how many floors the cab will serve.

The available packages also include metal cabinets to house the modules and associated power supplies. Isolator filters are used to protect the AFx™ from interference generated in the elevator cables. Elevator control requires minimum Director Level 1 software (see pages 32-44) for configuration and programming.

Suite Security Modules

Each module supports up to eight users, has a panic function and provides a programmable output for local use. Monitoring of the protected suites is accomplished through Director Level 1 software, which is required for set up and programming. For important notes regarding the use of the suite security module please see page 38.

MAP Graphic Module The MAP graphic annunciator allows you to illuminate any 16 of the 70 LEDs on board : these can be used to provide visual annunciation of virtually any event on the AFx™ system. The map is fully configurable and the provided display template can be easily customized and printed. Ideal for applications where local identification of areas, doors, input points etc is required for on site or remote response personnel.

AFx™ suite security modules are designed to provide local security to suite tenants : although they are connected to the AFx™ control panel, the tenants will use each as if it were a self-contained security system with two or eight zones (depending on the model installed).

AFx™ wireless receiver modules add support for up to 32 wireless transmission devices : each is learned into the receiver and is identified individually on the AFx™ system, both locally and in offsite transmissions. Regular check-in signals verify each transmitter’s presence and operational status : low battery conditions are also monitored via the AFx™. Both narrow-band and spread spectrum re-ceivers support a wide variety of sensors including motion, glassbreak, smoke and panic devices. For a list of supported transmitters see the AFx™ Quick Reference Guide.

Wireless Transmission

Narrow band wireless transmission operates on a frequency of 319.5 mHz, with a typical open field line-of-sight range of 500 feet. The narrow band wireless receiver connects to the SNAPP communications bus, further enhanc-ing effective range. In addition to a compre-hensive range of wireless sensors, a hand-held keypad is also available—complete with wall mount bracket—for local control of the AFx™ system.

Narrow Band Wireless Receiver / Transmitters

Spread Spectrum Wireless Receiver / Transmitters

Spread spectrum wireless transmission uses a shorter wavelength (900 mHz) and 10 times the transmission power of traditional narrow band technology to deliver open field line-of-sight range of over two thousand feet, ideal for large or challenging commercial environments. The spread spectrum wireless receiver connects to the SNAPP communications bus, further en-hancing effective range. Indoor and outdoor re-peaters are also available to extend transmission range up to four miles open field line-of-sight.

Capacities and features of each level of Director software and upgrade / add-on paths for each are shown on this simple chart.

Director and AFx Feature Set Support...…..….33 Director licensing is necessary to expand the AFx™ system beyond its basic function-ality : this chart shows the Feature Sets supported by each level of Director software.

Upgrading Firmware & Software…………….…47 When upgrading AFx™ sites, it’s important to understand the relationship between the firmware revision of AFx™ panels and the version of Director software installed.

33


The Feature Set chart on page 10 illustrates how the AFx system uses hardware expansion to achieve its maximum capacities in terms of users, areas, doors, etc. : it’s also necessary to use Director software for management of the system when multiple sites, multiple panels or any of the capacities associated with Feature Set 5 or higher are required. The chart above shows Fea-ture Set support provided by the three levels of Director software licensing. Additional RAM expansion for each AFx panel in a system is needed only when the higher ca-pacities are required - for example, if an application using Director Level 2 will have no sup-ported sites with more than 4,000 users, it is unnecessary to add RAM expansion to any of the panels. If one or more of the sites will have to support more than 4,000 users, the appropriate RAM expansion will be required for the panels in those systems but unnecessary for the others. In addition to expanded capacities, the higher levels of Director software provide additional fea-tures such as networking capability, dynamic mapping / live camera views, and elevator / suite security. The following pages discuss each level of Director licensing and the various features they incorporate. To quickly determine whether a specific feature is supported by a level of Direc-tor software, see the chart on page 45.

Base systems can be completely configured and managed using the LCD keypad, even for access control applications. Director software is optional for such systems and may be added at any time to enhance system management. Base systems using Director software can be connected directly on site in order to diagnose the system, troubleshoot it, and download or backup the user’s database. The software can also con-nect remotely via modem or static IP connection. The software allows an authorized user to config-ure the system and to remotely retrieve reports, system status and other information.

Director Server PC Director Workstation Director Workstation

Local or Wide Area Network Local or Wide Area Network

Networking Director allows more than one computer to use the Chubb AFx™ database so opera-tors at multiple workstations can connect to AFx™ systems for programming,control and status.The license key is connected to a USB port on the Director server PC (typically not the site’s network server). Each of the Director workstations will have a GUI (Graphic User Interface) installed during system setup which allows it to access and interact with the Director database. Operators will have only the privileges associated with their Director login (independent from their network privileges) which is controlled by the software administrator. Each workstation can also be programmed with a set of permissions that will apply independent of an operator’s permissions. Chubb AFx™ Base software supports two concurrent client workstations (GUIs) per software installation : this means any two PCs with the Director Operator client installed can interact with the server PC simultaneously. There is a timeout associated with each operator’s login that logs them off after a specified period of inactivity in the application, ensuring other operators will eventually gain access should others forget to log off.

MULTIPLE PANEL CONNECTIVITY

Multiple AFx™ panels can be connected together to go beyond the capabilities of the Base sys-tem : (up to 30 panels per physical connection). Local users of the system will control only the ar-eas and doors associated with each individual panel. For example: • Modules connected to Panel 1 in the example shown above are assigned to the Office area • Modules connected to Panel 2 in the example shown are assigned to the Warehouse area • Local users will only be able to control Office areas/doors from Panel 1’s associated LCD keypads (according to their assigned Authority Levels) • Local users will only be able to control Warehouse areas/doors from Panel 2’s associated

LCD keypads (according to their assigned Authority Levels) User, schedules and authorities are shared by the entire system : Director software is required to manage these common elements and also provide an overview of the AFx™ system to operators. This is important because it allows a software operator to relate to the system as a continuous se-ries of areas and doors instead of physically separate panels and modules. Up to 60 panels may be connected over three communications clients to function as a single inte-grated intrusion/access system. As with the Base system, each individual panel can support up to 24 application modules. A Level 1 system can support up to 960 areas / 7,680 input points / 1,920 doors per account.

VISUAL DIRECTOR

Visual Director shows software operators critical event and status information via full color animated icons on maps of the Chubb AFx™-controlled premises. Maps in all standard formats may be imported into Director and configured in any one of up to fifteen customizable map views. These views - accessible at the touch of a button - can also contain live camera feeds via connection to a Chubbview (Netvision) system. Operators can also control the Chubb AFx™ directly from the map icons. NOTE : support for NVe and March Networks R4 & R5 Series DVRs must be added via upgrade options shown on page 43.

Visual Director also includes Photo Verification. Each user of the Chubb AFx™ can have an asso-ciated photograph stored in the Director database : when users are granted access at designated doors on an AFx™ site, the user’s photo will be displayed on the Director PC with their name and the date and time of access. Photos can be shown singly or in groups of four or nine, and set to dis-play for a specific time period or indefinitely.

32 ACCESS DOORS PER PANEL

Level 1 supports up to 32 access-controlled doors per each Chubb AFx™ panel (compared to 16 per panel with the Base Package) in single and multiple panel installations. Each door has In/Out reader capability. IMPORTANT: Any elevator cabs assigned to an AFx™ are considered to be access-controlled doors and must be subtracted from the 32 available on each panel : for example, if an AFx™ panel on a site is controlling floor access for six elevator cabs, the total number of doors that can be sup-ported before another AFx™ panel is required is 26.

There is a timeout associated with each operator’s login that logs them off after a specified period of inactivity in the application, ensuring other operators will eventu-ally gain access should others forget to log off.

Communications clients are the components of Director software that control the process of communication between the AFx™ database and the actual systems. Each client can be associ-ated with one of three physical communications mediums (direct connection, dial-up modem or via static Internet Protocol address). The different options can be used in any combination up to a maximum of three simultaneous live communications clients. This flexibility allows whatever combi-nation of local or remote connections will best suit a particular Director application.

SUITE SECURITY

ELEVATOR CONTROL

Elevator control restricts access to floors according to a user’s authority level. The elevator mod-ule supports two cabs and can control access to a maximum of 124 floors per cab. When a user presents an access token to the reader associated with a controlled cab and selects a floor, relays on the relay module change state to allow the floor selection to pass to the elevator control circuitry : if the authority level assigned to the user does not allow access to the floor in question, the relay for that floor does not change state so the elevator control does not ‘see’ the button being pressed.

The elevator module monitors the elevator control’s outputs to indicate which floor was selected after floor access was granted. A termination period can also be programmed to limit the amount of time a user can select a floor after the access token is presented.

Each AFx™ panel can support up to 60 suite security modules, each of which will act as a local alarm for the suite it is located in. Groups of eight AFx™ users are assigned for use with each of the modules : there are five predefined authority levels available exclu-

sively for suite privileges. Suite users may also have access/intrusion privileges for other areas of an AFx™ system not devoted to suite security (i.e. parking garage access, main lobby door access). Suite security modules are available in two and eight-zone versions. Note: for every standard AFx™ SNAPP module used with a panel, the number of suite security modules supported by the same panel decreases by five. IMPORTANT NOTE: There is currently no built-in provision for suite security events to communicate off-site : alarms may be annunciated both audibly and visually at any Director software worksations connected to the suite security system. The events will be tagged with a name identifying the specific suite system at which the events are occurring. For suite security applications requiring off-site alarm communications, the suite security modules’ output capability allows for a programmed connection - requiring no wiring - to unused input points on the AFx™ system : this provides off-site alarm communication via whatever medium the AFx™ system is using to transmit event conditions, whether by digital or high security communications.

UP TO 10,000 Users / 8,192 Event Buffer / 500 Authority Levels

Director™ Level 1 has built-in support for up to 4,000 users, compared to 1000 on the Base sys-tem. A RAM upgrade is available to achieve the full 10,000 user capacity of a Level 1 system. The added storage also increases the capacity of the AFx™’s time-and-date stamped event buffer to 8,192 per panel and the number of available authority levels to 500. Each panel in a multiple panel application that requires increased capacities will require the same expansion chip.

PHOTO-BADGING

Photo-badging adds full badge design / printing functionality to Director software : it’s also available as an add-on license for Director Level 1 packages. For a detailed description of photo-badging see .

Director Level 2 can support up to 64,000 users, 1000 authority levels and 65,536 events in the on-board event buffer with the addition of RAM to each of the panels that make up the system. Two RAM expansion chips are available : one increases the capacity of the AFx™ to handle up to 20,000 users (and increases the event buffer and authority level limit as well), the other raises the user capacity to 64,000. A RAM expansion must be added to every panel in a multiple panel AFx™ application that requires the increased capacities.

DATABASE QUERY

Database Query adds the ability to extract raw tables of data manually from the Chubb AFx™ database for use with other data manipulation programs (such as Microsoft Access or Crystal Reports) – this is useful when a site requires sophisticated reports beyond the capability of Director’s built-in re-port generator (the extraction process requires a login to access the data).

key - which is required on the Director server during installation and operation - and the date on the application components being installed. If the date on the software being installed is later than the date on the USB license key (shown in Field 4 of the screen capture to the right), an ‘Application Out of Warranty’ message will appear and the installation will not continue.

The SSA product numbers shown below extend the initial 12-month warranty period by an addi-tional year for each one sold : the SSA must be consistent with the level of Director software the site is running (Base, Level 1 or Level 2). Below are two examples of how the SSA would apply to existing sites:

Example 1 : A site is running a release of Director Version 4 which was installed in March 2004 : the SSA expiration date is March 2005. The latest revision contains some features of interest to the customer, but its release date is July 2005, so the SSA Expiration Date will not allow installa-tion of the new revision. Resolution : The purchase of one SSA at the appropriate level is required (Base, Level 1, or Level 2) – this will add 12 months to the SSA Expiration Date and entitles the site to no-cost (for software) upgrades or patches for Version 4 until March of 2006.

Example 2 : A site is running a release of Director Version 4 installed in August of 2002 : the SSA expiration date is August 2003. The latest revision contains some features of interest to the cus-tomer, but its release date was July 2005, so the SSA Expiration Date will not allow its installation Resolution : Each SSA adds 12 months to the original SSA Expiration Date: in this instance, the site will require two SSA agreements at the appropriate level of licensing. After activation, the SSA expiration field will be August 2005, which will allow installation of the upgrade.

A few more notes on the SSA: • Director sites are entitled to upgrades with no charge for software for 12 months after installa-

tion – the SSA coverage is only required after the first year. • The SSA can be purchased at any time prior to or after Director installation, and in quantities. • The SSA expiration date will never affect the ongoing operation of a Director installation : it is

only checked during installation of a newer revision or patch.

to the database, and view or use the data as desired. (This pertains to read-only database 'views' that mirror the contents of the database.) This allows setting up custom reports or queries with such programs as MS Access and "Crystal Reports".

8 Enterprise Resource Management refers to the automatic ongoing population of target fields in Di-rector’s User screens with user information from another database : the process requires the use of an intermediate application (not supplied by Chubb) to perform the transfer of information.

• Inova TDC/PDC Door Controllers may be converted for use with AFx™ using product numbers

100-2517 (TDC) and 100-2518 (PDC). Each product number consists of an upgrade chip and li-cense to support the controller in Director software. Up to 10 converted TDCs/PDCs can be sup-ported per AFx™ panel (combined total).

AFx Firmware Compatibility

When considering an AFx site update, it is important to know the firmware of the panels on the site and the version of Director software the site is running.

The firmware revision of an AFx panel determines the features the panel has and what programming template is used : later revisions of panel firmware have more features and also contain more programming fields than earlier ones. The firmware revision of a system can be determined at a system LCD keypad (in

Configuration programming) or by looking at the sticker attached to the panel’s EEPROM chip.

Each version of Director software includes support for the current panel firmware revision as well as earlier ones within the same family (currently Version 4) : as new panel firmware revisions are released (with their additional features and pro-gramming), sites already running older versions of Director software will be unable to communicate to AFx panels equipped with the newer firmware that are added to their site (since the new programming template did not exist in the earlier soft-ware). There are two possible solutions to this situation:

• Upgrade the site to the latest version of Director software : this will add firmware support for cur-rent (and past) AFx firmware revisions back to 2.x.

• Flash the firmware on the panel back to a level that will support the installed version of software or replace the firmware chip in the panel with the desired version : this is an economical solution that does not obligate the site to upgrade software. NOTE : not all firmware revisions are flash programmable - see the chart below to determine if a given version can be flashed or must be physically exchanged with a newer revision chip.

Additional facts regarding AFx Firmware flashing :

• Flashing the firmware on a Monitor AFx™ panel to firmware revisions higher than 4.4 will add support for ‘soft’ features associated with the Chubb AFx™ product line, such as the LCD Plus keypad series, which includes models that support the use of access tokens. The ’hard’ features associated with the Chubb AFx™ platform (custom resis-tance values, remote diagnostics, 256 input points per panel) were never incorporated into the Monitor AFx system so flashing the firmware will not add such features.

• Multiple AFx™ panels connected to function as a single system will require the same firmware revision in each panel.

• Chubb AFx™ panels cannot be flashed to firmware revisions lower than V4.4 : for instance, in an application where V3 or early V4 software is installed, Chubb AFx™ panels could not be used - in such cases, Monitor AFx™ Legacy Systems (page 19) should be quoted and any necessary firmware flashing performed.

The method required to upgrade a Director software site to the latest version depends on the appli-cation version already installed : • Version 4.x software released less than 12 months after than the version currently installed can

be installed without additional licensing (see the Software Support Agreement section on page 42 for further details).

• Version 4.x software released more than 12 months after the version currently installed will re-quire a number of Software Support Agreement licenses : the specific number required depends on the SSA Expiration Date on the site’s Director license key (see the Software Support Agree-ment section on page 44 for further details).

• Version 3 sites can be upgraded to one of the current Version 4 levels with a V3-V4 upgrade package (see pages 34-40 for details) : each upgrade product is specific to the V3 licensing that is already installed and the V4 licensing being installed, so it’s critical to know the exact level of Director licensing on the site in order to recommend the appropriate upgrade. To determine these specifics, use the Director License Manager.

Director License Manager To determine the upgrade path for a Version 3 site - or the number of SSA renewals required - consult the Director License Manager : it can be found in the Chubb AFx Program Group (in older installations this may be called the Monitor AFx Program Group).

Selecting Director License Manager displays the current level of licensing on the software key : included in these fields is the Software Support Agree-ment expiration date as well as the other capacities / features associated with the key. Contact the Intrusion / Ac-cess Product Manager with License Manager details to determine the appro-priate upgrade path.

Features The Chubb AFx™ platform is a powerful and sophisticated system that

incorporates a multitude of user-friendly features : these allow the system to be as convenient as an application’s users require without compromising the

security considerations of the premises. Most of these features are consistent throughout all levels of the Chubb AFx™ system : where specific licensing is as-

sociated with a feature this is noted in the description.

User Codes

Up to 1,000 individual Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) are available on the Base system (expandable to 64,000). These codes are chosen by the authorized user and can be changed as often as desired. Users are identified to the Monitoring Centre when they carry out commands that will result in a transmission (such as arming or disarming).

On systems with a Feature Set higher than 1, AFx™ user codes consist of a User ID (the con-secutive number on the system associated with that user) and a Personal Identification Number (PIN) of their own choosing. This methodology ensures that every combination of User ID and PIN will be unique, even on systems supporting a large number of users.

Authority Levels

Levels of authority determine who may control and access an AFx™ equipped premises and when. Examples are the ability to add/delete users, the ability to enter secure areas (such as vault), the ability to enter the premises at night or on week-ends, or the ability to test the system. The AFx™ keypad enhances system security and reduces the cause of false alarms by only presenting op-tions and functions to the user that the user has been authorized to perform, reducing confusion and maintaining system security.

System Features

System Areas

Up to 16 security areas can be managed by a single AFx™ control. Each of the 16 areas can have a specific entry/exit delay associated with it. Each area can be armed to three levels:

Off - All detectors except 24 hour points are turned off : such points typically include panic but-tons, smoke and heat detectors, and environmental devices which should be active regard-less of the armed state of the system.

Stay -All devices designated as perimeter points are armed; if tripped they will cause an alarm. Typically all motion sensors are inactive to allow unrestricted movement within the prem-ises. Points associated with entry/exit will typically have a delay that allows an authorized user to get to a keypad to disarm.

On - All detectors are armed. If any device is tripped an alarm condition will be reported. Motion detectors within the premise will be active. Points associated with entry/exit will typically have a delay that allows an authorized user to get to a keypad to disarm.


LCD Function Keys

The f key on the LCD keypad is used in tandem with number keys 0 through 9 : each function key/number button combination will result in the activation of an AFx™ output point. These outputs can be used for virtually any purpose imaginable, from starting a garage door opener to arming another area of the system. In addition, the system can be set up to re-quire the entry of a user PIN to activate any of function keys 6 though 9, and 0. The user’s Au-thority level would also have to include this function key privilege for the PIN to work, ensuring activation by specific individuals only. Functions associated with number keys 1 through 5 are available to any users on the system.

Event Buffer

The AFx™ memory retains the last 2048 events (expandable to over 65,000). Any access, intru-sion or system status event is stored in this buffer, time and date stamped and with any other infor-mation that is relevant (which area or door accessed, which area armed/disarmed, user identity, etc.) in chronological order. The buffer automatically shifts older events out to make room for newer occurrences (known as first-in, first-out buffering).

Outputs

The AFx™ system can be programmed to provide outputs for virtually any intrusion/access event on the system. These events can be related to the entire system, a spe-cific area, a specific door, according to a schedule or activated manually via the function keys de-scribed previously. Up to fifteen separate criteria (including scheduling) may be connected using Boolean logical equations (AND, OR , NOR, etc.) to provide output activation based on a specific set of conditions. Additionally, AFx™ inputs can be triggered by outputs without a physical connec-tion between, simply by programming a link between the two. Outputs can be programmed to tran-sition to 12 volts or to ground, and the duration of each is also fully programmable.

LCD Hot Keys

When a user operates the AFx™ via the LCD keypad, a series of prompts appear to guide the user through the options available to them. Three blank keys immediately below the LCD window are used to select from the two or three choices that appear in the display. Only command options available to the current user will be dis-played. This assists the end user in easy navigation of system commands.

System Features


System Features

Custom Points - The input points of the AFx™ system can be programmed for virtually any combination of local audible annunciation (keypad and/or siren) and offsite communication based on area armed state (ON / STAY /OFF). Input points may be further customized as listed below:

• Preprocess Time - configures the input to alarm only after the device connected to it has been in the alarm state for a specified consecutive period of time (the time period is selectable from 2 seconds to 1 week). This is ideal for sensors that routinely trip but require local or offsite notifi-cation if the event is sustained, such as a commercial freezer with a regular defrost cycle : the temperature sensor input point can be programmed for activation only if the duration of a tem-perature increase exceeds the preprocess time specified for the associated point.

• Keyswitch Arming / Disarming - can be used to arm or disarm the input point’s associated area by activation of the point - an individual point can be used to arm OR disarm the area, but not both (the Command Point - discussed below - can be used for this purpose).

• Guard Tour - Operators of Director Security Management software can create, initiate and monitor the progress of a Guard Tour, a series of points and doors that a given user must tour within designated time periods (see Director Software Features, page 70) for additional de-tails). This configuration is used when setting up an input point that will be part of the tour.

• Work Late - Activation of this type of input point will extend the closing (arming) schedule of an area according to the Work Late time programmed for the point’s associated area.

• Command Point - Points configured for command activation can carry out system, door or area commands in the associated area on activation of the point. Supported functions include arming and disarming, door lock and unlock, reader mode change and user count reset. For a complete list see the Director User’s Guide.

• Activity Monitor - Select this configuration when the input point will be used to monitor activity in the point’s associated area : this is used with Activity-based area arming (see notes on this feature on page 56 in AFx™ Intrusion Features).

Door Chime Feature - With this feature enabled, AFx™ system doors equipped with con-tacts will sound a brief local alert from LCD keypad sounders and/or other audible devices when the door is opened.

Standby power - in the event of a general power failure the system automatically switches over to its backup battery and continues to operate the security system normally, for a minimum of 24 hours. A circuit in the panel will recharge these batteries automatically to their emergency backup level upon restoral of AC power.


Auto-Stay Mode

Each area of the AFx™ can be individually programmed to automatically switch its armed state from ‘STAY’ to ‘OFF’ in accordance with an assigned schedule and one of the three sets of condi-tions described below :

• Non-Secure Disarm to OFF – The area will disarm at the beginning of the schedule (i.e start of day) if the area is in ‘STAY’ mode at the designated time.

• Secure Disarm to OFF – The area will disarm at the beginning of the schedule (i.e start of day) if the area is in ‘STAY’ mode at the designated time, and it has been FULLY ARMED (ON) at some point since the last schedule cycle. This ensures that an authorized individual has been in the facility prior to the area reducing its state from ‘STAY’ to ‘OFF’.

• Disarm to OFF Pending First Valid User – The area can disarm at any time from the be-ginning of the schedule (i.e start of day) if the area is in ‘STAY’ mode at the designated time : the change will not occur, however, until a valid user has accessed the area in question.

Areas programmed for Auto-stay operation will switch from ’OFF’ to ’STAY’ at the end of the appli-cable schedule each day.

This feature can be used with automatic area arming (described on the following page) as well to ensure that full arming of such areas will take place at the appropriate time. Note that all of these automated features must be programmed for them to occur : if desired, areas of an AFx™ system can operate without schedules, in which case area armed state changes will be manual procedures dependent only on the user’s authority level.

Blind Auto-Disarm to OFF

Any AFx™ area can be configured to automatically disarm according to a specific schedule, re-gardless of the armed state of other system areas.

Dual Custody Disarming

Requires that two authorized employees enter PIN numbers in sequence to disarm sensitive areas. Both individuals will require Authority levels that include disarming privileges to the area at the times required.

Intrusion Features


Detector Inputs

Up to 256 detectors per panel can be individually monitored for alarm, failure or discon-nection from the system—each input on the AFx can be supervised (with fully program-mable resistance values). Sensors include magnetic contacts, motion detectors, glass break detectors, environmental sensors, heat/smoke detectors and panic initiation devices. Virtu-ally any device that offers “dry” (no voltage) contact outputs can be supported using the AFx™. When an application’s security requirements exceed 256 inputs, the AFx™ system supports the connection of multiple controls and expansion modules to achieve the requisite number.

False Alarm Prevention Points (FAP’s)

Any points designated as FAP’s (usually motion detectors) will not trigger an alarm signal unless: • The detector has been in the alarm condition for at least six seconds. • If less than six seconds, then that detector or any other detector in the system goes into the alarm condition over the next twenty minutes.

NOTE : False Alarm Prevention points should only be used in areas where multiple detectors are installed.

High-Security Communications

(Optional module) - All alarm signals are encrypted and transmitted to the Chubb Monitoring Centre via a high-security data channel. Any attempt to disable the system by cutting communi-cations lines is instantly detected and acted upon. For additional information on high security communications see the Communications Guide section (page 76).

Automatic Arming & Fail to Exit Watchdog

The system has a built-in feature that detects if any protected area has not been armed by a pre-set time and can automatically arm it ensuring the system will not be accidentally left disarmed overnight. In addition, it can detect if there was no exit from the premise, preventing an ‘inside job’ by employees who arm the premises and do not leave.

Reminder to Arm

A beeping reminder from the keypads begins fifteen minutes prior to the scheduled closing time. Any on-site users then have the option of either arming the system normally, or advising the sys-tem that they will be working late that evening and specifically to what time. As this information exchange is performed via the keypad, phone calls to the Monitoring Centre are not required.

Intrusion Features


Automatic Arming Based on Area Inactivity

Each individual AFx™ area can be configured to automatically arm if there has been a sustained period of inactivity (i.e. no detection devices such as door contacts or motion detectors have acti-vated) : this value in minutes is selectable by area.

Area activity arming can be programmed to operate throughout the day or only outside an area’s regular arming schedule if required.

Invalid PIN Lockout

The system can be programmed to lock out (ignore) further at-tempts to enter a PIN number after a designated number of in-valid PIN attempts. The lockout duration is programmable from 2 seconds to 1 week. There is also a ‘Global Lockout’ setting that specifies a maximum number of lockout conditions—programmable responses to the global lockout include local and off-site notification (transmission to the monitoring centre) and a lockout for all users (on an area by area basis).

Intrusion Features

Work Late

When an area is about to arm according to its schedule, a pushbutton or keyswitch can be used to extend the closing time to allow employees to stay longer : this function can also be limited to spe-cific authorized users. The Work Late extension can also be configured to extend no later than midnight.

Group / Area Arming

Any of an AFx™ panel’s can be included in the creation of multi-ple-area groups that can be controlled simultaneously by an ap-propriately privileged user. If configured to use area groups, the system’s LCD keypad will prompt users to choose between arming designated groups of areas or specific areas within the parame-ters of their authority level. Up to 16 Area Groups may be designated in each system. Users can interact with the system in one of three ways : Option Disabled (normal global or area-by-area arming), Group only (user will be prompted to arm all groups or selected groups within their con-trol) and Group or Area, which will offer the user a choice of Group or Area arming.

Holdup Test

Authorized employees can test holdup buttons locally without notifying the monitoring station.


Common-To-Areas Setting

The common to area setting can optionally arm and disarm specified areas or groups of areas automatically according to the programmed selections made. The system’s default values are for manual arming and disarming each area. For ‘common to area’ functionality, any of the panel’s areas can be linked with others and specific conditions for automatically arming / disarming set up for any of the shared areas.

The individual selections are : • auto arm if all other shared areas are armed, • auto arm if any of the shared areas are armed, or • arm all shared areas when any shared area is armed.

The same choices apply to disarming, but different arm/disarm options can be chosen for the same common-to-area selection. Example : a multiple-office building with a shared entrance and hallway - the shared hallway and entrance are one area and each individual office is also config-ured as its own area. The hallway area can be programmed to auto-arm only when all the offices are armed and to auto-disarm when any one office is disarmed.

Area Priority Arming

Each of the 16 areas on an AFx™ panel can be programmed with a numeric precedence value from 1 to 15 : when arming, areas with greater precedence values (lower numeric value) must be armed prior to those with lower values. For disarming, the reverse is true : lower precedence (higher numeric value) areas must be disarmed before those with higher assigned precedence values. This is useful where vaults or similar high-priority areas should be the first areas armed and last areas disarmed as part of a site’s security routine. All areas with the same priority values may be armed and dis-armed simultaneously by users whose authority levels allow them to do so.

Intrusion Features

Arm / Disarm Window

Defines the amount of time the area can be disarmed, both within and outside of the area’s ap-plied schedule. Areas may be disarmed outside the scheduled window for 30 minutes or 2 hours : within the schedule window, the choices are 30 minutes, 2 hours or until the end of the schedule.


LCD PLUS Keypads

Two of the three versions of LCD Plus keypad offer users the ability to acti-vate intrusion / access commands by presenting access tokens to the key-pad. Commands can differ inside and outside of an associated schedule. • The LCD Plus with Integral GProx II Reader supports the use of GProx

II tokens for intrusion / access commands. • The LCD Plus with Weigand Input provides direct connection of Weigand output devices

(such as HID readers) to the keypad and allows use of the reader’s compatible tokens to issue commands. Perfect for sites where readers are installed and tokens already in circulation, this version is also ideal for sites where card reading will take place outside of the prem-ises but command activation via token is required (the keypad must be installed inside).

For a complete list of commands supported by the keypads refer to the Chubb AFx Quick Reference Guide.

Intrusion Features

Point Bypassing / Isolation

AFx™ input points can be bypassed, meaning that all sensor activity will be ignored for the next armed period. This is ideal for ‘Stay’ arming or when a sensor is malfunctioning and needs to be temporarily removed from the system pending adjusent or replacement. Bypassing is a system privilege available only to users whose authority level includes it. Typically, bypass commands are removed by the next arm/disarm cycle, precluding the possibility that a sensor will be left indefinitely bypassed unintentionally. For sensors that should remain ’ignored’ for multiple arm/disarm cycles the ’isolation’ command is used : this command essentially ’de-activates’ the sensor’s input point until the isolation command is removed. The isolation com-mand is also only available to users whose assigned authority level includes it.

Duress Signal

The AFx system can be configured to interpret the entry of a user code in which the last two digits have been transposed (i.e. 1243 instead of 1234) as an indication that a system or area is being disarmed under threat : entry of the code in this fashion will result in transmission of a high priority panic signal to the Chubb Monitoring Centre but give no local indication that this notification has taken place. NOTE : Duress signaling is a system-wide setting that should be enabled only with the site users’ full understanding of the feature and the type of police response resulting from its use.


Intrusion Features

Entry / Exit Delay Times

Each area’s entry / exit delay times are independent and fully programmable. An extended delay may be applied to entryways that are not close to system keypads (a garage entrance, for exam-ple).

Exit Delay Termination

Selectable by area, this feature automatically terminates the associated exit delay period on clo-sure of the area door after arming, reducing the possibility of another person entering the area while the timer is still running.

Stay on Fail to Exit

Automatically bypasses sensors designated as Interior devices (typically motion detectors) when a user arms the area and does not leave via an area door. This feature may be enabled by specific area.

Auto Arm / Alarm on Fail to Exit

AFx™ system areas may be configured to automatically arm at a scheduled time daily (a fail-to-arm signal can also be sent to the monitoring centre if desired). When an area is armed at or be-fore the scheduled closing time and users fail to leave the premise, an alarm condition can be gen-erated and transmitted.

Siren Squawk on Arming

Provides an audible confirmation to system users that the system has properly armed by triggering the alarm siren for a short period.

Open Interlock

Used in special applications such as automatic banking machines, AFx™ areas included in an in-terlock group allow disarming of only one interlocked area at a time. Auto Arm on Door Close

Used widely in the financial industry for vault protection, an area configured with this option will arm immediately when the area’s designated door has been closed.

61


Arming Stations

Gprox II arming stations are proximity readers with a set of number keys added : this allows the entry of user and PIN numbers where an LCD keypad is not available or not practical (outside) and also supports scheduled Card/PIN mode reader operation as described above. The stations are available in both switchplate and mullion styles and also feature a series of simple command functions that can be activated by authorized users. These commands are (<login> refers to entry of the User ID/Pin number):

< login > only Access (momentary unlock of door) 1 <login> Turn reader area off 1 0 <login> Turn all areas off 2 <login> Turn reader area to stay mode 3 <login> Turn reader area on 3 0 <login> Turn all areas on 5 <login> Toggle between Lock Door and Unlock Door & Disarm reader area 6 <login> Work Late in this area by 2 hours at a time 6 n <login> Work Late in this area for n hours where n = 1…9. Scheduled area only.

Card Reader Modes

Card reader modes add a higher level of security to the access control of a given area or areas. Each card reader mode can be programmed to change automatically according to an independent schedule, which can vary by reader.

• Dual Custody mode - Dual custody mode requires two access cardhold-ers (both with access privileges for the area and the specific schedule in effect) to use their card on the reader to gain access.

• Escort Required mode – This mode also requires two valid access users to produce their to-ken but, in addition, one of the users must be assigned an Authority level that includes their desig-nation as an Escort. This guarantees that any temporary visitors to the site will not be able to ac-cess sensitive areas without the Escort. The Escort cardholder can gain access to readers operat-ing in the Escort mode by badging the reader twice.

• Card/PIN Mode – Determines whether a Personal Identification Number (PIN) as well as an ac-cess token will be required to gain access. The choices for this mode are : Card only, card plus PIN, card or PIN, or User ID/PIN only. Ideal for providing increased security after hours or at all times. Card / PIN mode requires arming stations (see below).

Access Control Features

62


Disarm Area on Access Granted

Each reader on an AFx™ system is assigned to an area. To simplify the use of the system and prevent false alarms – or if a keypad is not accessible – that area can be programmed to disarm upon access being granted to a valid user. This functionality can also be extended to disarm all areas to which that user has arm/disarm privileges. This does not compromise the security of the premises because the user must have arm/disarm privileges for the area(s) being accessed at the time or the disarming will not occur.

Anti-Passback

Anti-passback prevents the abuse of user access tokens by requiring a user to exit an area before that user is allowed to gain access to the same or another area. The AFx™ system’s area-centric design associ-ates each door/reader to a designated area : a user is considered to have entered an area if they are granted access at any door assigned to that area and considered to have exited when they badge to leave through any door assigned to that area. There are different types of anti-passback – the specific requirements of an application will determine which is best suited:

• Strict Anti-passback – denies area access to the user if they have not badged out of the area they were last granted access to.

• Logged Anti-passback – will create an event in the AFx™ event screen indicating that a user has not badged out of an area prior to attempting access to this or another area : the user will, however, be granted access to the area. This is useful in applications where strict anti-passback would create administrative problems but management still wishes to audit and exer-cise some control over user traffic.

• Timed Anti-passback – this type of anti-passback is programmed to expire after a specific period of time. It’s useful for areas such as paid parking garages where users have an access token that allows them entry to park : should they give the token to another vehicle following them, anti-passback will prevent the second user from getting into the garage. The timer, how-ever, will be programmed to expire before the authorized user will need to park again (i.e the next day), making it unnecessary for the system to “see” that user exiting the area before the anti-passback reset occurs.


63


Invalid Card Lockout

The system can be programmed to lock out access after a number of in-valid attempts (this is programmable at any time by the end user). The lockout duration is programmable from 2 seconds to 1 week. There are settings in separate fields for the use of an invalid card : the concept is the same as the User PIN lockout discussed in AFx™ Intrusion Features, with the additional choice of determin-ing which type of invalid card will increment the lockout counter. The choices are:

• Invalid cards—cards denied access because they are not in the database, have the wrong

site code, or the wrong version number. • Invalid and high-risk cards - in addition to the conditions listed above, cards denied access

because they have expired, are out of schedule, in the wrong area, attempting to violate an in-terlock, or being used on a locked-out reader.

• Invalid or any denied card. There is also a ‘Global lockout’ setting that specifies a maximum number of lockout conditions—programmable responses to the global lockout include local and off-site notification (transmission to the monitoring centre) and a lockout for all users (on an area by area basis).

Challenged Access

AFx™ access controllers allow users a programmable time period to enter through a door and re-close it before a ‘Door Held Open’ condition is generated. Physically challenged users can be given a separate, longer access period. In addition, the auxiliary input on the door controller can be used as a ‘challenged request-to-exit’ input which will activate an automatic door opener for physically challenged individuals : the door opener will also be triggered when users defined as challenged present a card to an entry reader.

Two Access Formats

AFx™ access controllers can support two different programmable token formats. The format refers to the way information is encoded on the token, and this information can contain more than one identification value associated with a user (i.e. the card number, the site code) The most typical access token formats are Weigand and magstripe - both compatible with AFx™.


64


Maximum Area Occupancy Output The Area Occupancy counter also has a setting for the Maximum # of Users in an area—this will deny access to any users attempting access when the designated number for that area has been exceeded. This condition can also be associated with the AFx™’s output points, making it ideal for parking lot applications (the output can be used to activate a ‘Parking Lot Full’ sign). In this sce-nario, the minimum User Count now becomes the number at which the ‘Area Full’ condition will reset.

Automatic Arming Based on Minimum Area Occupancy

Each area can be individually configured to automatically keep track of the number of people entering and leaving an area. Areas can be programmed to arm when the count reaches a pre-defined minimum number (this number can be a different value for each area). Areas requiring this feature will require out readers installed as well as in readers. Area counter-based arming can be programmed to work in conjunction with area activity arming (see AFx™ Intrusion Features) so areas will arm either when no activity has been detected for the designated time period and the minimum user threshold criteria has been satisfied, or when either condition has occurred independently (this is determined by how the area has been pro-grammed during setup). Area activity/counter based arming can be programmed to operate throughout the day or only outside an area’s regular arming schedule if need be.


Enabling / Disabling Readers AFx system readers can be configured to auto-enable and auto-disable user access tokens by programming them to act as either Enabling or Disabling readers : the users associated with such tokens will be designated as Pend-ing Enrollment in the AFx system. The validation period for tokens pre-sented to an enabling reader can be set to 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 1 week, till midnight, end of schedule, or permanently. The assigned authority level will apply for the duration of this validation period. Enabling / disabling readers can be programmed to unlock access controlled doors as well as providing automatic validation and invalidation. For additional details on using this feature see the Director Software Features section (page 66).

65



Door Groups

For basic access privileges in AFx areas there is the choice of area access according to armed state or a specified schedule. For more specific access privileges Door Groups may be used : this feature assigns a per area Door Group number in the user’s Authority level (values range from 1 to 62), and corresponding per area Door Group numbers in the configuration section for doors that will be a part of the group.

Users will have access privileges to doors when their assigned Group Number in that area is the same as the door’s group number (Equality setting) OR they will have access when their assigned Group Number is greater than or equal to the door’s assigned Door Group Number (Greater than or equal to setting) : the choice is determined in their Authority Level.

In the two areas of the AFx system shown above, each area’s doors have been defined with Group numbers (note that these assigned Group values do not correspond to the AFx system’s door numbers, each of which is unique and consecutive).

• Both the Office Entry Door and Warehouse Entry Door have assigned Door Group numbers of 1 : users intended to enter only the Office area by its entry door will have a Door Group num-ber 1 with a setting of Equality Only for the Office area in their assigned Authority level and NO ASSIGNED Door Group number for the Warehouse area.

• Users who may gain access through either the Office or Warehouse entry doors will have a Door Group number Equal to 1 for BOTH the Office and Warehouse areas in their assigned Authority level.

Office Entry Door

Warehouse Entry Door

66


Door Groups continued

• Office Workers with a Door Group setting of Greater Than or Equal To 2 will be granted ac-cess at the Office entry door and also the Conference Room door. Office Workers with a Door Group number Greater Than or Equal To 3 will be granted access at the Office entry door, the Conference Room door and the Office Supply door. Only the Boss – with a setting of Door Group number Greater Than or Equal To 4 – will be able to access all of the Office areas in-cluding his personal office. None of these settings will apply to the warehouse unless the Door Groups for that area are included in the user Authority Level.

• The Warehouse area has two doors whose Door Group number of 1 is the same : this is be-cause the Authority Level for Warehouse staff should grant access at both the Warehouse en-try door and the Shipping Supply door, so it’s unnecessary to assign separate numbers. Only The Supervisor’s Authority level for this area will specify the Door Group value as being Greater Than or Equal To 2, so access to the warehouse supervisor’s office door is included as well. The Warehouse Supervisors can also have access privileges in the Office area if their Authority level specifies this.

• Door Groups can be used selectively : each AFx area door has separate Door Group pa-rameters and can be included in the relationship or not, as the application requires.

• The Door Group feature can often minimize the number of required areas in an AFx system, since it offers as many as 62 potential access levels within a given area.

Director Software Features

Installs As A Service

Director software is installed to operate as a service of the operating system, rather than an application : This means the server and communications clients start with computer’s operating system : the benefit of this mode of operation is that - in the event the PC crashes or loses power - any communication session in progress will automatically continue when the PC and operating system are re-started.

Operator Password Security Operators logging in for the first time are prompted to change their password. Addition-ally, system wide options are provided to allow for increased operator password security. Se-lectable options are the length of the password, the renewal time (how often operators will be prompted to change their password) and the renewal expiry (how long after the renewal time elapses before the password itself expires).

A lockout period can also be defined so that after three failed login attempts, the application will lockout operators for an hour or until reset by an operator with the permission to do so. An ‘Enforce Complexity’ checkbox also appears in this area : when enabled, this application-wide setting requires that operator passwords must include letters and numbers, will be case sensitive, cannot include three consecutive letters or numbers (i.e. abc or 123), cannot match the login name, and cannot match the present password.

Scheduled Backup The Director database can be configured to automatically back up to a specified location according to a day and time cycle selectable by the op-erator (there’s also a provision to manually back up the application within Director itself). The Event and Communication/Operator logs may be archived separately and purged from the database to minimize its size : these archives may be imported back into the application at any time (they’ll be found in the Report Generator section). The number of backups retained in the specified location is programmable - when the designated maximum is reached, the next backup will overwrite the oldest one.

User Screens Adding users to the AFx sys-tem is a simple process for any authorized operator : the de-fault tab provides fields for the first and last name, desired authority level and access to-ken / Personal Identification Numbers. The validation pe-riod and custom user fields (if set up) appear on underlying tabs. See the following sec-tions for details on these and other user screen features.

Card Lost Button

This appears on the default Users screen, an action button that automatically moves the selected user’s card number to a separate screen, accessible from a tab under the User screens. Use of the direct link enters the card number and associated user information in the Lost cards screen and enters a value of ‘0’ into the specified user’s card number field. Once found, this entry may be highlighted on the Lost Cards screen and the ‘Card Found’ button clicked to remove it : the num-ber will then be assignable to another user – the number is not automatically restored to the origi-nal user. Lost cards may also be entered directly into the Lost Cards screen.

Custom User Fields

Up to twenty custom user fields may be created for association with AFx™ system users. Three types of custom field are avail-able : the single line edit is used for short fields of user infor-mation (user’s employee number, date hired, license plate number), the multiple line edit for information requiring up to three lines of text (user’s address) and the dropdown list is used to create a list of choices, one of which can be applied to each user (i.e. department). The custom fields will also appear as selection criteria in the User Re-port section of Director’s report generator and can be used in custom photo-badge design without obligating the operator to re-enter the field data.

69


Void User Button

This action button is located on the User screens in Director : it provides one click voiding / reinstatement of AFx™ system users without changing the validation period (see below) dates or card number values. A message to the right of the User name fields indi-cates whether the user is currently valid or void.

Validation Period

User privileges for the AFx system are determined by the assigned authority level and the pro-grammed validation period. Options for the user validation period are:

Permanent User - The user’s authority settings are in effect permanently.

By Date/Time - The user’s authority settings are in effect for the specified date range only : this is useful for ensuring that cards assigned to temporary users ’turn off’ automatically, so if the card is not returned or lost it does not represent a security risk.

Authority Plus Setting - this setting assigns an alternative set of system privileges (in addition to the permanent authority setting for that user) during the date and time range specified : ideal when AFx™ system users temporarily require privileges normally associated with vacationing or absent users.

Pending Enrollment - Cards set to Pending Enrollment are inactive in the system until presented to a reader designated as an ‘Enabling Reader’ on the AFx system : the validation period associated with presentation to the reader can be set to 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 1 week, till midnight, end of schedule, or permanently. The assigned authority level will apply for the duration of the validation period. Such users can also be auto-disabled in the system by presentation of their card to a reader desig-nated a ‘Disabling Reader’ : when a card is disabled in this fashion (or when its en-abled time period has expired), the user’s status is once again considered to be pend-ing (requiring presentation to an Enabling Reader). Enabling / disabling readers can be pro-grammed to unlock access controlled doors as well as providing automatic validation and invalida-tion.

User Search

Any of the standard and custom user fields may be searched for a specified text string, allowing an operator to view information about a user or group of users rapidly.


70



Operator Edit or View Only

Director software operators can interact with the application according to the specific permissions associated with each : programming fields may be designated for Edit or View only privileges. Viewing of the Custom User Fields (discussed on page 67) may be restricted in groups of five to prevent operators viewing sensitive information regarding system users that should only be acces-sible to administrators.

Additional operator attributes further limit the way operators can change data : The ‘Edit Only’ icon indicates that the operator permission can edit the associated section but the changes made will only take effect after approval by an operator with the ‘Approve and Save’ attribute selected in their permission setup. If the ‘Edit and Save’ option is selected, operators with that permission level will be able to save any changes they make without approval. Operator Permission sections that support these choices are the Operator checkbox (shown above) and the User sections (shown at right).

Firmware Flash Utility AFx™ systems may be upgraded (or rolled back) by flashing the firmware on the main panel using Director software’s integral Firmware Flash Utility: this is useful for en-suring compatibility between a site’s Director software version and the firmware revi-sion of a new control being installed on the site. It’s also used to add new firmware features to already installed systems. For details on the firmware flashing process please see pages 47 & 48.

Serial Port Output

A serial output from the Director software PC may be configured to pass AFx™ system event information through the serial port as Space or Tab de-limited text (ideal for interfacing with alphanumeric paging equipment). The Event priority screen under the Account Information heading determines which specific events will be passed to the serial output. Note that the if the RS485 direct connector is used, it too requires a serial port so use of the serial output feature with direct PC to AFx connection would require the presence of two serial ports on the PC.

71


Scheduled Synchronization

Communications between the Director PC and AFx™ systems may be initiated manually or scheduled for regular contact hourly, daily, or weekly (specific day and time are specifiable). Upon connection, the time and date stamped event buffer on the AFx™ board (see System Features, page 52) is copied to the Director database. By selecting a schedule that connects to the system regularly before the AFx™ event buffer reaches its maximum capacity - and begins moving out older events to make room for new ones - the audit trail for the system in the Director database will show the continuous history of the system although the system is not constantly on line with the software. Synchronization is also useful for ensuring panel time remains consistent on site (each system’s time zone is programmable).

Workstation Permissions

When Director is networked (requires minimum Director Level 1 licensing, see pages 32–44 for details) workstations may be configured to follow the operator’s permissions level for the applica-tion or to have their own set of permissions that cannot be exceeded regardless of the operator’s powers. This is ideal for workstations that will be occasionally unsupervised or exposed to public user contact (for example, an ‘event display only’ workstation that allows no control interaction with the AFx™ system).

Guard Tour

Operators of Director Security Management software can create, initiate and monitor the progress of a Guard Tour, a series of points and doors that a given user must tour within designated time periods (see Director Software Features for additional details). Responses to a failure of any tour (failure is early or late arrival at one of the tour stations) can be programmed for one of the follow-ing : Ignore (logs the tour failure in the audit trail), Alarm, Abort with Alarm, Alarm with Siren, Abort with Alarm with Siren. Tour failures and alarms are logged in the audit trail for any of these selections.

Detailed Audit Trail Any changes made to users and opera-tor parameters are logged in the detailed audit report. The report will show who made the change, what the old setting was, and the new setting.


72



Remote System Diagnostics

Director operators with access to the Control & Status screens can view the status of the system’s power supply, rechargeable backup battery, ap-plication modules and sensor inputs. Remote diagnostics provide valu-able information for offsite technical staff about possible system problems. A report detailing the status of the entire system can be generated at the touch of a button : this report is automatically saved with a time and date stamp in Director’s Report Generator and becomes a part of the database. NOTE : The remote diagnostic feature is available only with Chubb AFx systems and their associated modules (LCD keypad and enhanced input expanders).

Inter Panel Arming & Disarming

A keypad connected to one AFx panel can arm and disarm areas connected to other AFx panels in multiple panel applications (more than one panel connected to function as one system). The follow-ing considerations apply :

• Panel firmware must be version 4.42 or greater. • A maximum of 30 panels in a group is supported. • The STAY protection level can NOT be used. • Feature Set 5 or greater is required and the panels must be communicating with Director Ver-

sion 4.50 or greater, in a “Stay Connected” condition • It is recommended that each panel has a minimum of one keypad connected for local control

and status in the event that the Director PC be offline or otherwise unavailable. • If Force Arming is used to arm a panel that has an insecure sensor, the protection will turn on

and immediately go into alarm. • If “Bypass” is used with a protection point in trouble and protection is turned on but the point is

not bypassable, (i.e. an Entry/Exit door), the protection will turn on and go into alarm. The Entry/ Exit point must be configured to be bypassable.

• IMPORTANT: if an area with blocked arming has a protection point that is insecure, the area’s protection will not turn on when the “multi-protection on” feature is used.

• The Area Priority arming feature requires that areas are armed and disarmed in order of their priority. Protection for these areas must be turned on and off at a keypad directly connected to the panel that this feature. For this reason, inter-arming from a single LCD keypad can not be used with the area priority arming feature.

• Generating a single report to display all the panel’s configurations in this panel group is not available.

73



Quick Update The quick update feature can be used with any scheduled pending Director communication session with an AFx™ system (i.e. hourly, daily, weekly) : when an update has been scheduled (see page 70), enabling Quick Up-date results in user and authority changes being monitored and sent imme-diately as the changes are made—rather than waiting until the scheduled connection time.

Time and Attendance Reports These reports use access events from the AFx system to determine when users arrive and depart from the premises (note that areas requiring identification of en-tering and exiting users will require both In and Out readers). Attendance periods can be fully customized and saved for use with the reports. These reports include: • Absentee - shows which users have no access events for the attendance pe-

riod and date range selected. • Arrival / Departure - shows all user entry/exit access events for the date range specified. • Early Departure - shows any users with exit access events that occur before the end of the se-

lected attendance period (within the date range specified). • Late Arrival - shows any users with entry access events that occur after the beginning of the

selected attendance period (within the date range specified). • Totalization - sums the total number of hours spent by users within the access-controlled prem-

ises during the selected attendance period (within the date range specified). • Roll Call - shows all users currently identified as IN either a specified area or anywhere in the

system premises. • IN / OUT Status - shows the IN / OUT status of system users for either a specified area or any-

where in the system premises : for areas where only IN readers are installed, a user is consid-ered OUT when there have been no entry events for that user for a period of twenty-four hours.

Report Generator

Director’s built-in report generator provides system configuration and activity, user access , time & attendance and operator audit reports : each may be configured to include only the specific fields of interest and sorted in ascending or descending order by one of the selected criteria. The reports may be output to screen, textfile or report emulation textfile. See the sections immediately following this one for details on each kind of report.

74



User Reports Director operators can specify any of the standard user fields for inclusion in these reports : any one of the fields can also be specified for sorting in ascending or descending order. If any custom user fields (see page 67 for a description) have been created, these fields will also be available for inclusion in the reports and selection in the sorting process.

System Activity Reports When Director software connects to an AFx system, the event buffer (see page 52) is cop-ied to the software’s database : this informa-tion includes all events that have occurred lo-cally on the AFx site. The Activity Reports sec-tion of Director software lets operators select the type of system event they wish to include in the report (multiple selections can be made simultaneously) and to further restrict the re-port to specific areas, doors ,etc. This is also where archived event data that has been im-ported into the Director database can be viewed and printed if necessary (the date range for all activity reports can be specified by the operator).

Card Management Report Tools • User Access Report - displays a list of users that have access privileges

to an area, door or floor within a specifiable time period on designated days of the week.

• Expired Cards Report – a report that shows a list of cards that have ex-pired, or are going to expire presently (the date range for this is selectable).

• Inactive Cards Report – a report that shows a list of all cards that haven’t been used for a specified period of time.

• Lost Cards Report - generates a list of all cards currently designated as lost in the AFx system.

75


System Control & Status

Director software operators can interact with AFx systems as if they were entering commands at a system keypad : appropriately privileged operators can arm and disarm areas, lock and unlock doors, change the reader and card modes for an area, bypass input points and manually activate system outputs. The current status of all hardware components and system areas, points and doors can be easily displayed in either a Form View (shows a single record from the selected sec-tion) or a Grid View (all records from the selected section arranged in a spreadsheet-style configu-ration). The Control and Status screens may require the operator to log in - using their AFx system User ID and PIN - or they can be automatically programmed to log the operator in without requiring this intermediate step—in either case that operator will only be able to carry out system commands consistent with their Authority Level as an AFx™ system user.


Event Instruction & Resolution

The Director event screen displays all system events in a time-and-date stamped format, either in a real-time fash-ion (when continuously connected to an AFx system) or after the system’s event buffer has been copied to the Director database during a communications session. Events can be color-coded to assist in easily distinguish-ing them. Fully customizable instructions - up to 1000 - can be programmed for association with system events and accessed by clicking on the colored rectangle to the left of the description.

For events that demand immediate attention, up to twenty importable sounds may be associated with any AFx™ system event : sounds are used when the event will require a Resolution message from the operator to silence the console. These Resolution messages can be typed in by the software operator or selected from a list of previously programmed selections (up to 1000). All such messages become a part of the Director database and may be retrieved for on-screen examination at any time. Fully customizable event and prior-ity filters are also available to accommodate the specific display needs of an operator.

76



Community Groups

For multiple AFx sites in the same database that will share users, the Community Groups feature eliminates redundant entry or modifica-tion of shared user data across all sites in-cluded in each group.

To activate the feature, any number of users in groups of ten can be designated as Shared and the appropriate accounts will also have the desired user groups programmed for inclusion in the Community relationship : when a new user is added or a change is made to the mas-ter file of a shared grouping, the same changes automatically occur for all AFx accounts flagged for inclusion in that grouping (holidays can also be shared across Community Groups).

Used in tandem with Director’s ability to schedule automatic contact with any accounts in the data-base (described on page 70), this simplifies the process of managing user additions and changes by ensuring that only the master user files for the shared accounts will require modification, and the updating process for the actual AFx systems affected can be automated to further reduce the amount of time operators will have to spend on user maintenance. This feature is available in Di-rector Level 1 and Level 2 software packages and can be used on any AFx systems with a Feature Set greater than 1. Additional Considerations in Using Community Groups • Any AFx accounts with Suite Security modules in use (see page 38 for details) can not be in-

cluded in the Community Group relationship. • Any Custom User Fields (see page 67) that will be shared across the Community Group can

only be the Single Line Edit type : the Multiple Line Edit and Dropdown List can be used in individual accounts within the Community Group relationship, but changes to these fields will have no effect on the Custom Fields in the shared user files.

77



Multiple GUI Support on a Single PC Director level 1 and Level 2 include support for up to ten client workstations (expandable to fifty in blocks of five clients) : in addition to providing access to the Director database from multiple net-worked PCs, this functionality also allows an operator working at a single PC to log into multiple ac-counts simultaneously. For Director applications where multiple communications clients are being used to support ongoing real time connections to more than one AFx site, this feature provides the ability to login using a separate GUI for each live account : with the addition of multiple monitors, the operator can display live events and / or system information for each individual account on its own monitor. This feature is also useful when an operator is working with one account and wishes to access an-other without losing their place in the first open file : by logging in with a separate GUI, the operator can open and interact with another account and easily return to their place in the first account by closing the second GUI. Note that each open GUI counts toward the maximum supported number across the application : for example, on a site with the basic ten client support included in Director Level 1 and Level 2 a logged-in operator who wishes to open another GUI while all ten clients are in use will have to wait until one of the other GUIs has logged out.

Premises phones AFx™ Line Seizure relay

Connected to alarm cord and jack Monitoring

Centre

The AFx™’s built-in communicator is wired into the premise phone line in a fashion that will 'seize' the line to communicate alarm panel events. Line seizure ensures that communications from the panel will be able to disconnect any premise phones that may be in use when the transmittable condition occurs. When the monitoring centre equipment answers the call, a tone called a ‘handshake’ is gener-ated : this signals the control panel to begin sending the data that will provide the critical event in-formation to monitoring centre personnel. The premises’ address, the type and location of event - even the identity of users interacting with the system - will be contained in this digital data, which is sent in one of two industry standard communications formats (Contact ID or SIA). While this event data is being received, a series of acknowledgement tones (kiss-offs) will be gen-erated as each event is recognized by the monitoring center's equipment. After the final kiss-off has been received, the control panel will release the phone line. A regular communications test schedule can be set up to provide an indication of the communica-tor's functionality but usually these are weekly or monthly so are primarily useful only to indicate alarm equipment problems or inadvertent disconnection. The main limitation of digital communica-tion is its passive nature : the panel itself initiates communication to the central monitoring service so if the line is cut the only possible indication to the monitoring facility is the absence of a test code, and if this is not due for days they will know nothing of the disconnection. It's recommended that wherever possible the telephone line run into the premises be buried or otherwise concealed but this is not always feasible.

Communications Module & F1/F2 subset





DVACs Communications

DVACS (Digital Voice Access & Control Systems) is a method of event communication that is active (versus the passive nature of digital communications). With DVACS, an AFx™ High Security Communications module (100-2561) will be installed on the system’s fully supervised SNAPP communications bus and in turn be connected to a Bell-supplied modem called an F1/F2 subset. The monitoring centre initiates contact to each of the HSC modules (each AFx™ system) every 90 seconds : if the module does not respond due to disconnection or damage this condition is detected very rapidly by the monitoring centre. This polling also pauses often to issue an ‘All Call’ which al-lows any AFx™ system that has critical event information to communicate it at once rather than waiting for the next poll request. AFx High Security Communications modules utilize Chubb’s MK7 protocol, designed to address the needs of the High Value Asset market segments : it provides encrypted line security that meets and exceeds the highest ULC standards as well as protection against any cloning attempts. This form of communication requires a dedicated line on the premises and the F1/F2 subset sup-plied by Bell. It has a ULC Level 3 line security listing, which is often mandatory for commercial premises to obtain insurance.

81


AFx™ Director PC

Each Chubb AFx™ Control Panel has a built in digital dialer and RS485 terminal connections. This allows Director software to connect to AFx™ systems directly on site, through a dial-up con-nection, or via connection to an existent Local or Wide Area net-work. Up to 24 application modules (such as LCD keypads, ac-cess modules and input expanders) can be connected to each individual AFx™ control.

Director Software is used to make programming changes such as adding / deleting users, schedules etc. It can also be used to control the system, verify the op-erational status of the panel and its modules, and receive alarms from the panels. The licensing levels of Director software packages determine how many clients are avail-able for communications and networking. See Director Software packages on page 31-43 for details.

A Modem is used by the Director PC or AFx™ panel to transmit data via the telephone lines. The USR 56K Sportster External modem is an industry stan-dard device that ensures compatibility and consistency. The RS485 connector shown above is also required for connection to an external modem.

The Internet Protocol module installs in the first panel of an AFx™ system. It features a female RJ45 network connection to facilitate easy integration of AFx™ Internet Protocol communi-cations into an existent network. The IP Primary module can be used with any level of Director software.

The symbols below will appear on the following pages to illustrate the available connection choices between a computer running Director software and an AFx™ system or systems.
