Alert5

Felma's Alert5 is a supervisor system that can control anti-intrusion, fire prevention, access control and TVCC systems. The communication with Hsyco is via HTTP protocol.

HSYCO Configuration

Add the ALERT5 I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:

Communication

• IP Address: host name or IP address of the supervisor
• IP Port: TCP/IP port assigned to the supervisor

Authentication

• User: username to access the supervisor
• Password: password to access the supervisor

Options

ID	Default	Values	Description
startupevents	false	true	generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase
		false	start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system
pollinterval	1000	n > 1000	the data acquisition interval, in milliseconds
logsize	300	n ≥ 0	the number of log lines to display in the UI object

Datapoints

The hierarchical structure is: System > Area > Device (every system can contain multiple areas and every area can contain multiple devices)

User Interface

XGenConnect Object

The user interface for the XGenConnect multi-area intrusion detection system:

The first image shows the list of configured areas. You can set the alarm to partial level or away level for all the areas, otherwise you can open a popup on a dedicated area and set the alarm level only for that one. The two icons on the top of the page represent in order: area tamper (at least one area is in tamper state), area alarm (at least one area is in alarm state).

The second image shows the popup associated to a zone; the five icons shown inside the popup represent in order: zone open, zone alarm, zone tamper, zone bypassed, zone chime. Inside the popup you can bypass/unbypass the selected zone and you can activate/deactivate the zone chime.

The (xgenconnect) object is listed in the Project Editor’s new object list only when at least one XGenConnect I/O Server is defined

Parameters

• server id: the server ID. Supports Redirect variables
• position: the object's position. Use the pixels or rows and columns coordinates format

Syntax

(xgenconnect <server id>; <position>)

E.g.

(xgenconnect xgen; x10y20)

UISET Actions

ID	Attribute	Set to
log	<text>	latest security log lines (as many as specified by the 'logsize' option)
log0	<text>	latest security log (it will vanish after 5 seconds)
dev.<dev_id>.status.bypass	visible	true	dev_id bypassed
		false	dev_id not not bypassed
dev.<dev_id>.status.open	visible	true	dev_id active
		false	dev_id not not active
dev.<dev_id>.status.alarm	visible	true	dev_id in alarm
		false	dev_id not not in alarm

Log Files

If a ALERT5 I/O Server is connected to HSYCO, the security.log file will be written in the same directories as the daily log files.

This file is never overwritten or deleted from HSYCO SERVER.
