The first time you run WIN-PAK, you are prompted to set up various options. The Options dialog box (following illustration) has four tabs, each dealing with different areas of the program.
These options can be modified later by selecting Options from the WIN-PAK Setup menu and making the desired.
Card Options
1. The Options box (previous illustration) opens to the Card tab.
Select either 5 digit or 12 digit cards. (12-digit cards are
supported by N-1000 Control Panels with version 8.xx firmware only. WIN-PAK does not support 6.03 firmware.)

2. Enable Card Limiting if you want to automatically limit card usage. This can be done in one of three ways:
Activation & Deactivation by Scheduler
WIN-PAK can permit a card access between two dates. The activation and deactivation dates are set for each card in the Card Database. WIN-PAK checks the card dates by the schedule defined in the Schedules database.
Expiration by Panel Hardware
A card’s access can also be set to expire on a selected date. This is done at the panel level so the computer doesn’t have to be online to expire the card. The expiration date for each card is set in the Card Database and becomes effective when the card information is transferred to the panels. The expiration date can be up to 254 days from the date that it is entered in the Card Database.
NOTE: The database capacity of the N-1000 Controller may be reduced by up to 50% when either the Expiration by Panel Hardware or Limited Use card limiting option is selected. See N-1000 programming manual for details.
Limited Use
A card’s access can also be restricted to a limited number of uses. Once a card has been used a set number of times, it becomes invalid. This number (maximum 254) is set for each card in the Card Database. Like Expiration by Panel Hardware, Limited Use is also controlled at the panel.

Communication Options
Communication options cannot be set from a network client. If you are installing a network client, the Communications tab (following illustration) is not available.
1. Click the Communications tab to configure Communication options. From the Send Command File section, select whether you want to send command files and switch cameras upon receiving alarm information or when you acknowledge alarm information. The On Acknowledge option requires the operator to acknowledge before sending/switching, while On Receive acts automatically when alarm and reader conditions are received.
2. From the Clear Alarm State section, select whether you want operators to be able to clear only normal states, or both alarm and normal states.

3. From the Alarm Monitoring section, enable Alarm Acknowledge if you want to eliminate the need to
Acknowledge lower priority items. If enabled, type in or use the arrow keys to indicate the lowest priority requiring
acknowledgment. 1 is the highest priority and 99 is the lowest priority. Alarms, readers, and cards with this priority or higher (lower number) AND undefined alarms and cards need to be acknowledged. If not enabled, only undefined alarms and cards need to be acknowledged.
NOTE: Undefined alarms and cards always have the highest priority.
4. WIN-PAK’s Auto Card Lookup automatically displays card information including name, card number, and badge photo (if one exists) for cards that send a status to the Alarm Monitor. To prevent Auto Card Lookup from displaying every card
presented, set a priority threshold. Enter a number from 0 to 99.
All card statuses with higher priorities (lower numbers) than the selected threshold will trigger the Auto Card Lookup. The rest of the cards are ignored.
