time, between 30 minutes and 24 hours, midnight to midnight. Users can edit and delete bookings
(meetings) and authorised users can also add, edit and delete rooms.
Note
A user must have the web Room Booking function assigned to them in the AC2000 User
Options application.
To open Room Booking select Applications | Room Booking

CHAPTER 8 : Room Booking

There are two Timetable formats:

All rooms for one day

Specific room for five days

The Timetable displays information depending on the room selection. If All is selected, each
column displays a room name. If a specific room is selected, each column displays a date.

8.1.1 Displaying all rooms for one day


This option displays a list of all predefined rooms for a selected day. To view all available
rooms select All from the Rooms drop down list. The name of each room is displayed
alphabetically in the column header at the top of the Timetable. A maximum of five rooms can
be displayed at one time. If there are more than five rooms available use the navigation arrows
below the Timetable to scroll to the previous and next room.

Figure 77 Viewing all rooms for one day

This view displays the minimum Available From time to the maximum Available To time
across all predefined rooms. These times are the earliest time the room can be reserved from
and the latest time the room is available to. The Timetable displays only the available times to
restrict each room to the relevant period. If a room is not available within these times, the area
is greyed out and no bookings can be made for the room at that time.

8.1.2 Specific room for five days


This option displays a specific room for a maximum of five consecutive days. To view a room
select the Room name from the Rooms drop down list. Use the date selector and the
navigation arrows to view specific dates.

8.2 Setting up Rooms


Before the Room Booking system can be used, rooms must be added to the system.

Zonal Control
Zonal Control can be used by a System Administrator to manage zones on a site to prevent
tail-gating and enforce anti-passback. Zonal Control is similar to the AC2000 Anti-Passback
Zones application but offers further flow control by ensuring a cardholder passes from one
zone to another before a device can be used.
In order to use the Zonal Control application you must enable the application by running
AC2000 Floatbar | Advanced Config. | AC2000 Configured and setting the zonal_control
value to Y.
Note: If Zonal Control is enabled the AC2000 Anti-Passback Zones application is disabled
and the application will not load though it will be visible on the AC2000 Floatbar.
To run Zonal Control open AC2000 WEB | Applications | Zonal Control
(Zonal Control will only be visible on the AC2000 WEB Menu if Zonal Control is enabled.)

10.1 Before you begin


It is advisable you draw a plan of the site or building showing the location of each device. This
will help you understand how Zonal Control works and which zones are to be assigned to
each device.

83

CHAPTER 10 : Zonal Control

Device address
Device location

Zone name

Figure 93 Example Floor Plan A

In the floor plan outlined in Figure 93, an In and Out device is shown at each door. Each device
is labelled with its address and location and each zone has a unique name.

10.2 Creating the Zones


When creating a zone give it a unique name, enable/disable it and set the timeout value.
1. Open the Zone Control application and click the CREATE ZONE button.
2. Enter a name in the Zone textbox.

Enter Zone name


Enable/disable Zone
Set timeout value

Figure 94 Add Zone Definition screen

3. (Optional) Click Zone Disabled if you want to create the zone but not have it activated.
This effectively turns on/off the Zone.
4. Enter a Timeout value in seconds, minutes, hours, days or set it to indefinite.
(The value entered in Timeout determines the length of time before the device can be used
again by the same cardholder. If Timeout is set to Indefinite there is no time limit set.)
5. Click Save.

84

A2SE68-UG-0119-1.2

AC2000 Web

10.3 Assigning Zones to devices


Once the Zones have been created, add an In Zone and Out Zone to each device. Refer to
your site plan to help you with this.
The In Zone is the zone the cardholder will be moving in to and the Out Zone is the zone the
cardholder is coming from.
In the example shown in Figure 95, the device FRONT ENTRANCE IN has ZONE FOYER
defined as the In Zone (the cardholder is going to) and Out Zone set to ZONE OUTSIDE (the
zone the cardholder is coming from).

LDAP Config. imports records from the Windows Active Directory Server to the CDC.
To open the LDAP select AC2000 WEB | System | LDAP
Figure 143 Web pages application

The Environment Settings screen is used to define the connection settings between the
Active Directory Server and the CDC. It is also used to select which AD fields will be used for
the import. (Records can be filtered and Unique Identifiers defined.) Using the Entry Change
Field Selection a field is defined that is used to identify any changes or entries to the CDC.
The Database Data screen is used to map the fields between the AD Server and the CDC.
The Database Field shows the AD Server fields as previously specified in the Environment
Settings screen. It is possible to both append and prefix characters to data when imported to
the CDC using the Leading Chars and Trailing Chars. In order to merge and join data the Front
Delimiter, (X) Instances, Rear Delimiter and (+/-) properties are used. It is possible to preview
the results (show examples of the mappings) once all settings have been defined.
The Schedule screen is used to specify when and how often data is imported between the AD
server and the CDC.
Note: There are some limitations when importing records from the Active Directory Server to
the CDC.

Click
to list the fields in the AD server and check the field names to be made available for
the data import.
Unique Record Selection
The field name chosen in the Unique Record Selection dropdown menu is used to uniquely
identify each record.
Note: The field name chosen has to be selected in the Current Fields pane. For Active
Directory Server this is typically objectguid.
Entry Change Field Selection
Select the field used to identify any additions or changes to records on the AD server.
Note: The field name chosen must be selected in the Current Fields pane. For Active Directory
Server this is typically the file named usnchanged.
When all settings have been entered click Save Settings and then Next.

15.8.2 Recommendations
The field objectguid should be used to uniquely identify records as AD uses this field itself as
the unique id.
The field unchanged should be used as the means to identify records that have been changed
as this field is updated by AD following changes:
During import, user records can be retrieved from any AD Common Name (CN) or
Organisational Unit (OU).
It will be undesirable to import from some locations such as the standard Users CN (e.g.
CN=Users,DC=windomain,DC=net) as certain accounts such as 'Administrator', 'Guest',
etc, will be imported along with standard users.
It is recommended that a group be created, e.g. 'CardHolders', and that user records that are
to be imported are added to that group (this can be done as a multiple selection when editing
the properties of the group)
If a user is imported as a member of a group and the user is subsequently removed from the
group, their imported record will not be removed. However no updates to the imported record
will be performed.

15.8.3 Important Notes


If an imported user is deleted from AD and subsequently re-added e.g. to fix a problem with
their account, the AD record will be issued a new objectguid value. If a subsequent import is
performed, the users CDC record will then be expired and a new record created for them.

The Database Field column lists the fields in the CDCs personnel records.
Leading Chars
Up to four characters can be added at the beginning of the imported data.
LDAP Field
The LDAP Field dropdown menu lists the fields previously selected in the Current Fields pane
in the previous step. See Environment Settings on page 128.
Front Delimiter
The Front Delimiter can be 0 to 10 characters long. It can be used to split up the LDAP field. If
used the Front Delimiter cell is shaded blue.
(x) Instances
The (x) instances field counts the specified number of Front Delimiter instances.
Rear Delimiter
The Rear Delimiter Field can be 0 to 10 characters long. It can be used to split up the LDAP
field. If used the Rear Delimiter cell is shaded blue.
Trailing Chars
Trailing Characters can be appended to the end of data in a specific field.
(+/-)
The (+/-) buttons are used to combine the data from several (up to three) AD fields into one
CDC field. Up to three fields can be used.
Previewing Database Field Mappings
The Examples button shows an example of how the data will be imported based on the
selections and definitions made.

15.8.5 Database Mapping Examples


The import expects date values (i.e. the 'dateofbirth' field) to be imported in the format
YYYY-MM-DD (Year, Month, Day). If the field is to be used then a mapping should be used to
change the import value date to the correct format.

Example 1: Splitting one AD field into three CDC fields


The separate Active Directory value(s) can be broken up using de-limiters and the combined
database result can be separated possibly e.g. by a comma in the trailing field
For example:
Database Fields 'address1','address2' and 'address3' can be populated from a single AD field
'postaladdress' whose format is 'house-number street, town, county', by using commas as the
front and rear delimiters.

Figure 147 Splitting AD fields

address1 is 'postaladdress' up to the 1st comma;


- use no front delimiters and a comma as rear delimiter to take text from the beginning of the
field up to the 1st comma.
address2 is 'postaladdress' from the 1st comma onwards and up to the 2nd comma;
- use 1 front delimiter (comma) with a comma as rear delimiter to take text from the first
comma onwards, up to the next comma.
address3 is 'postaladdress' from the second comma up to the end;
- use 2 front delimiters (comma) and 0 rear delimiters to skip data before the 2nd comma and
take the rest of the field.

131

CHAPTER 15 : AC2000 Setup

Example 2: Combining two Active Directory fields to one CDC field


Using the (+/-) buttons it is possible to add up to three fields from the Active Directory server
(LDAP Fields) to be used in one CDC field (Database Field).
In the example shown in the givenname and sn fields from the Active Directory (LDAP Field)
are combined to populate the badge_name field in the CDC. A space is inserted between the
first name and surname using the Trailing Chars field on the first name row.

CHAPTER 16 : Backup/Restore

16.1 Backing Up AC2000


AC2000 data can be backed up using one of several available methods. The backup method
selected dictates whether a full server backup or a data only backup is completed.
Full server backup
All data and the server operating system is backed up. Tape/DVD and Drive options only.
Data only backup
All data is backed up but not the operating system. Download File and FTP options only.

16.1.1 The importance of backing up


Important
Failure to regularly back up the system could result in the total loss of all data on an AC2000 system, including all
card records, reader configurations, transactions and personnel records. If a back up has not been configured
these cannot be recovered and the system will have to be rebuilt.

There are many factors that can cause a system failure that results in a loss of data including:

Server component failure

Unforeseen risks such as fire, flood, theft, malicious damage

Human error

16.1.2 Configuring backup


1. Using an internet browser, log into AC2000 Web.
2. Select Backup/Restore | Backup.

3. Select View Backup History. Check the last record with the expected start and finish
times, green display and that the outcome is successful.

16.1.4 Backup recommendations

140

It is important to implement a structured backup strategy in your organisation. Failure to


properly backup the system could result in a total and permanent loss of data.

Backups should be performed daily so that, in the event of a system failure, no more than
24 hours worth of data will be lost.

Backups should be stored in a separate secure location away from the AC2000 server to
protect them from the same risks.

If using the Download backup option, maintain a schedule to track that the downloads are
completed regularly.

If you require assistance to configure and maintain backups, contact CEM support.

A2SE68-UG-0119-1.2

Adding an Escort for a Visitor Batch Request is exactly the same as adding an Escort for a
single Visitor request, as previously described in Adding an Escort on page 148.

17.2.3 Step 3 Field Mapping


To ensure the correct information is imported from the file to the AC2000 database you must
match and map the fields between them.
Mandatory Fields
The following fields are mandatory and must be mapped; Surname, Forenames, Company,
Purpose, Access, and Expected. (If the mandatory fields are not mapped, they will be
highlighted in yellow and the user will be unable to move to the next step.) Match each of the

report, refer to the Reports section.
