1 From the EntraPass main window, select the Devices tab, then click the Application icon. The Application main window appears.
NOTE: Items displayed in the Application window vary depending on the selected EntraPass application. For example, if the selected application in a workstation‐type application, tabs such as
Workstation, Gateway and Site, etc., are displayed. If the selected application is a Redundant server, the Redundant server tab appears.
2 From the Application drop‐down list, select the application you want to configure. This list displays all applications that have been installed and registered. The Application type drop‐down list displays the type of the selected item. It may display Workstation, Gateway, Mirror Database and Redundant Server, etc. 3 Assign a name to the selected application. If you are running the software in two languages, for example in English and French, you may assign a name in English and in French. 4 Click the Save button to activate the new application.
Defining General Parameters
The General tab allows you to specify the system behavior when the operator is inactive, that is when there is no action on the keyboard (idle time).
1 For added security, specify the system behavior when the operator is inactive. This feature provides additional security to prevent access to the system by an unauthorized person. The default delay is 20 min. You may keep the default delay or change it. • Select the Application update type: NOTE: The Auto‐Updater Service monitors the installed versions of the EntraPass Server, the Gateway, the Smartlink and the Workstations and verify that they are all the same. Otherwise, it will update the applications so they will be in the same version as the server.
NOTE: For each step during the updating process, a message will be displayed in the Desktop Message List.
• Manual: The update is started manually.
• Automatic: The update is started automatically as soon as requested. • Queued: In this mode, the update is done only one application at the time.
• Prompt to download: If an update is available and the workstation is connected, a message is displayed to prompt the operator asking to update the application. If the workstation is not connected, the software will proceed with the update with the same parameters as for the Queued option. If the operator refuse the update, he will be a prompt for the same update every hour.
• Select the Send to tray on idle if you want the applications to be minimized when there is no action on the keyboard. If you do this, you have to specify the period after which the application will be minimized if there is no action on the keyboard: in the Send to tray on idle, enter the delay after which the applications will be minimized and sent to the task bar.
• Select the Automatic Logout on idle option if you want the application to logout when there is no action on the keyboard. If you do this, you have to specify the period after which the application will be minimized: in the Automatic logout on idle enter the delay after which the Operator will be automatically logged out, (the option has to be checked). 2 If the Video feature is enabled, the Video view field appears. If this is the case, select the Video view in which you want the defined component to appear. For details on defining video views, see "Video Views Definition" on page 237. 3 From the Graphic list, you may select the graphic to which the application is assigned, if applicable. For details on defining graphics, see "Graphics Definition" on page 211.
Defining Security Parameters
This section applies to all EntraPass applications: EntraPass Workstations, Gateways, SmartLink (if installed), Mirror Database and Redundant Server, etc. 1 From the Application window, select a workstation and move to the Parameters tab. 2 Make the appropriate choices: • Disable application: if selected, the operator will not be able to start the application. This field must be used with caution. • Disable authentication to server:When this option is checked, it is no longer possible to register the application to the server.
• Encryption:select this option if all incoming or outgoing messages for this application should be encrypted.
• Auto disable authentication:if selected, the system will automatically disable authentication when the application has authenticated itself for the first time.
• Allow auto‐connection: if selected, the EntraPass workstation will automatically attempt to connect itself to the server following a communication failure.
• Display Login List: if checked, this option tells the system to save the five last login names to make them available for selection when opening new sessions. This option offers a fast way to open a session since an operator has only to select a user name and enter a password. You may however leave this field to its default setting (unchecked) for increased security; this will oblige operators to enter both a valid user name and password before accessing EntraPass.
• Must be login to close application: checking this option will oblige operators to login before they exit an EntraPass program.
• Suspend messages: if this option is selected, all incoming messages for this application will be suspended. Use this option for an EntraPass workstation that is used only to configure components or when messages are not required.
• Operator must login to view events: checking this option will oblige the operator to login at least once with a valid username and password before system event messages can be viewed.
• Display description in title bar: check this box to display the application description in the window titlebar (top).
• Display description in taskbar: check this box to display the application description in the window taskbar (bottom). • Disable video: check this option to hide the video view options from this EntraPass workstation user interface. If this option is checked, the Video Events List, Video Playback and Video desktop options are disabled in the system. Operators with appropriate user permissions will be able to configure the Video option but will not be able to view live or recorded video segments. • Notify when remote sites must be updated: check this option to tell the system to send a notification before updating remote sites. When this option is enabled, operators will receive a notification before updating site communicating via a modem. If this option is selected, operators will receive a notification each time data related to sites (such as schedules, controllers, etc.) are modified. They will have the choice of updating remote sites (Yes), refusing the change (No) or clicking Details so that they can select specific sites to be updated.
