Site Plan Enhancements

Cardax FT Command Centre v5.20 contains many enhanced Site Plan features, increasing
both the usability and functionality of Cardax FT Site Plans.

Previously in Cardax FT Command Centre, FT items could only be represented on site plans via
the standard item icon, with only the default action for the item available when double clicked.
Command Centre v5.20 greatly expands the functionality and usability of site plans by providing
more options for displaying FT items on site plans, providing status information about these items,
and defining the default actions relating to clicking on these items.

Configurable Lines, Areas, and Rectangles

From Command Centre v5.20, FT Items can be represented on site plans via a number of
configurable shapes, including lines, areas and rectangles. FT Items typically represented by
lines on a site plan would most likely be fence or other perimeter security alarm zones. Areas
might typically be used to display an area covered by an alarm zone or by a particular input (eg. A
PIR), or used to enact the default action of another FT item (eg. An arrow associated to another
site plan, which when clicked opens a corresponding site plan). Rectangles would commonly be
used to provide a background box for text, or for providing buttons on site plans linked to Macros.

01/04/08 ©2008 Gallagher Security Management Systems Page 9 of 34

The fill colour for each line/area/rectangle can be individually selected, along with the level of
transparency, allowing the background image to show through the line/area/rectangle overlay.
Once created, a line/area/rectangle can be associated with any valid FT item. The status of the
associated item can be shown on the item fill colour, with the fill colour matching pre-configured,
user definable colours for each item state. The alarm condition of the FT item is also visible on
the associated line/area/rectangle, with the border of the line/area/rectangle flashing when in
active alarm. FT Items represented on a site plan by a line/area/rectangle can be hidden, leaving
the line/area/rectangle as the item’s only visual representation on the site plan.

Touch Screen Support

The default action for any FT item represented by a line/area/rectangle on a site plan can now be
configured to be enacted by either a single or double mouse click. While providing additional
mouse options, this also allows the default action to be enacted via a single touch on a touch
screen.

01/04/08 ©2008 Gallagher Security Management Systems Page 10 of 34

Configurable Free Text
Free text can now be configured on site plans, to allow more descriptive naming of elements on a
site plan. Standard text editing, such as configurable font type, size, alignment, colour, and
bold/italics/underline is available

Associated Macro Override Buttons

Macro overrides can now be associated with a site plan lines/areas/rectangles. In combination
with a rectangle, the associated macros can be configured as single or double click override
buttons, for easily accessible operator overrides.

Licensing
This is a standard feature, included as tangible value to customers purchasing a Cardax FT
Command Centre Software Maintenance Agreement or Software Upgrade.

SAGEM Fingerprint Reader Integration – Verification

Cardax FT Command Centre v5.20 now allows full biometric verification, enabling highly
secure access control using a combination of smartcard, finger and PIN presentation.

Biometric Fingerprint Verification, which matches a pre-saved fingerprint template on a card

against a finger presented at a reader, is now available. Along with finger only Identification
(introduced in Command Centre v5.10), Cardax FT provides a seamless path for integrating
leading biometric technology into your security management system.

Architecture
The Cardax FT – SAGEM Fingerprint Reader Verification integration incorporates the following
architecture:

Cardax FT - SAGEM Integration – Verification

Mifare Encoding Enrolment SAGEM
Encoder MSO 3xx
USB USB

Reader Configuration Ethernet

and Monitoring

Access Decision Access Decision

Wiegand Wiegand

Cardax SAGEM MA SAGEM MA Cardax

FT Mifare Card
Mifare Card 1xx 5xx

A user’s fingerprint is first enrolled, then encoded on a Mifare smartcard, all via the Cardax FT
Command Centre user interface within 1-2 minutes. The user can immediately present the card
at a SAGEM fingerprint reader, which depending on the access method implemented will request
a card, and/or fingerprint, and/or PIN. Once the user is correctly authenticated, the Cardax
Controller decides whether or not the user may enter an area. The reader settings and optional
reader monitoring are configured centrally from the Cardax FT Command Centre user interface
and communicated with the readers via Ethernet.

Benefits of the SAGEM Biometric Verification Integration

• Greater Security - Areas requiring highly secure access are recommended to implement
access rules based on a combination of something you know, something you have, and
something you area. Biometric verification allows this by combining a Mifare smartcard
(something you have), encoded with your fingerprint template (something you are), with your

01/04/08 ©2008 Gallagher Security Management Systems Page 12 of 34

 user PIN (something you know). Fingerprint templates are stored in secured, encrypted
sectors of the Mifare card.
• Validating the correct person at the reader - Biometric authentication ensures that the
person presenting themselves at the reader is really who they purport to be. This is
particularly crucial for time and attendance reporting, to avoid one person badging in for
multiple people, or where the identity of the person who gained access may be challenged in
a court of law.
• Seamless Enrolment and Encoding - Fingerprint enrolment is conducted from the Cardax FT
Command Centre user interface. Once two fingers are enrolled, a card can be immediately
encoded with this information, along with Cardax card reader information, all in one pass.
• Interoperability with standard card readers - SAGEM Fingerprint readers can be installed in
certain high security areas of a site (eg. Server rooms, payroll offices), while other Cardax
Mifare card readers may be used elsewhere on site. The one card can be used with both
readers across all of the site.
• Individually adjustable access modes - Each SAGEM reader can be individually configured
depending on the security level required. The readers can even mandate that some people
require card + finger to enter an area, while others require finger only to enter the same area.
• Privacy support options - The integration supports several privacy options which help allay
privacy concerns around using biometrics. Those who have concerns with their fingerprint
templates being stored on a central database can opt for the ‘privacy encoding’ setting, which
encodes the fingerprint template directly onto their card, and is never stored in a central
database. Those who refuse to, or are not able to provide fingerprints, can optionally be
given card only access at the SAGEM readers.

Card Encoding - Fingerprint Templates

A new cardholder tab, Print/Encode, has been created, to allow quick card printing and encoding
for individual cardholders. Sites with a valid Photo ID optional feature license can both print and
encode Cardax and SAGEM fingerprint data from this tab, while sites with only the SAGEM
integration are limited to encoding fingerprint data only. Printing and encoding can be
accomplished within seconds, with the user interface providing feedback when encoding has
been successfully completed.

01/04/08 ©2008 Gallagher Security Management Systems Page 13 of 34

SAGEM Reader Configuration
SAGEM Fingerprint Readers are now configured directly from the Command Centre user
interface. Operators can set the IP Address, False Acceptance Rate, and Authentication Mode
for each reader, as well as choosing to display the user name at the reader on successful access
(MA5xx models only), whether to automatically resynchronise the readers, and whether to enable
optional reader monitoring.

Licensing
This is a licensed feature, requiring the following licensing:
• Sagem readers purchased from GSMS each come with a Sagem Reader Integration License
(part# 2A8951) at no additional cost, which is updated on the site license, allowing the site to
create each Sagem reader in Command Centre. SAGEM readers purchased elsewhere are
required to purchase this license for each reader.
• The Command Centre Server, and each FT Workstation used to enrol fingerprints, must have
a Sagem ‘MACI license/Verif Dongle’ pair (part# C864401) to enable fingerprint enrolment
and template management. Only one pair is required if enrolment occurs on the same
machine as the Command Centre Server.

Configuration Wizard Upgrades and Wizard Templates

In Cardax FT Command Centre v5.20, a major upgrade has been made to Wizards,
enabling simpler and quicker configuration of Cardax FT hardware for installers, and
potential cost savings for end users.

Configuration wizards aim to simplify hardware and software installation for new installers, and
allow quicker site configuration for existing installers. Prior to Command Centre v5.20, the
Quickstart Wizard only covered a portion of Cardax FT hardware, and offered limited functionality
for improving the speed of installations. The Command Centre v5.20 Configuration Wizard now
covers the majority of Cardax FT hardware, and provides significant advancements for both new
and existing Cardax installers.

Configuration Wizard – New Hardware Wizards

The Configuration Wizard now supports all FT Controllers, including the Controller 3000-8R,
3000-4R, 5000GL and 5000 Controllers. GBUS devices are also supported by the Configuration
Wizard, including the GBUS Input Board, I/O Expansion Board and High Density I/O Expansion
Board. In addition, the Configuration Wizard also now supports a Door Wizard, which allows
quick and easy configuration of new doors, including optional creation of a GBUS URI associated
with the door, or direct connection of reader and door I/O to an existing Controller.

Configuration Wizard – Improved Functionality

Each individual hardware wizard has now been re-ordered, with information that is unique for
most new hardware items in the first wizard pages. The wizard now allow an installer to click
‘Finish’ once all mandatory unique hardware information has been completed, saving default
values for the hardware. In this manner, a new Controller or GBUS device with all connections
can be now be created within two wizard pages.

01/04/08 ©2008 Gallagher Security Management Systems Page 15 of 34

Another wizard improvement includes an automated naming and numbering convention to all
reader and I/O items based on the device name. In addition, the wizard allows Contact ID CCC
codes to be automatically populated (ie. filled with the next free Contact ID codes), or populated
from an indicated point (ie. CCC codes from a certain number onwards).

01/04/08 ©2008 Gallagher Security Management Systems Page 16 of 34

Wizard Templates
A powerful new configuration tool has been added to Command Centre v5.20, in the form of
Wizard Templates. A Cardax FT installer can now save templates for typical hardware and door
configurations – including naming and numbering conventions – to reuse when creating additional
items. These Wizard Templates can be reused on the same site for quick hardware creation, or
saved for use on different sites, where an installer uses standard configuration settings across
sites.

Licensing
This is a standard feature, included as tangible value to customers purchasing a Cardax FT
Command Centre Software Maintenance Agreement or Software Upgrade.

01/04/08 ©2008 Gallagher Security Management Systems Page 17 of 34

Wiring Reports

Wiring reports are now available in Cardax FT Command Centre v5.20, to help installers
physically connect devices in accordance with the Command Centre head-end
configuration.

Wiring reports for most Cardax FT hardware devices, doors and lift cars can now be created,
providing physical installers clear and easy guidance for wiring Cardax FT installations. In
addition to wiring configuration, the report also provides the physical installer with useful
information for the device such as network addresses, whether tampers are enabled on a device,
what type of lock is configured for a door, and what end-of-line resistors are configured for the
device.

Cardax FT Command Centre – Card Log On

Operators can now log on and off of Cardax FT Command Centre via their Cardax Mifare
smartcard.

Command Centre workstations can now be configured to allow operators to use their Cardax
Mifare smartcard to log on or off Command Centre. When enabled, the Smart Card Logon
feature can allow an operator to place their Mifare smartcard on a Cardax Mifare Encoder Unit
(part# C41006) which is connected to the workstation via a USB cable. On correct validation of
the operator’s card, the operator is logged on to FT Command Centre. Operators can optionally
be required to also enter their log on password.

Once an operator has finished their session on Command Centre and removed their Cardax
Mifare smartcard, a preset card removal time counts down before the operator is logged off. A
warning time can also be displayed before log off, to ensure that the operator has intentionally
removed their card from the Encoder Unit. In addition, exiting the Command Centre application
on the workstation can now be disabled, ensuring that the Command Centre log on screen is
always available when an operator has logged off.

Multiple Monitor Support

Cardax FT Command Centre v5.20 now supports the use of multiple monitors to display
the Command Centre user interface screens.

Operators can now make full use of multiple window displays with Command Centre v5.20.
Command Centre windows can now be dragged to display in separate screens, or display across
multiple screens, depending on the workstation’s Windows display settings. Operator
preferences for all window positions are saved, allowing consistent operator views over multiple
monitors.

Cardax FT Controller API - 3rd Party card reader support

Cardax FT Command Centre v5.20 improves on the functionality of the Cardax FT

Controller API, allowing the Cardax FT Controller to process access decisions from 3rd
party readers via the API.

In Command Centre 5.20 it is possible to use an External System Item as a reader on a door,
elevator car or Remote Arming Terminal, and pass through card read events from an external
system. External System Items set up in this manner are included in reader search results, and
generate card events according to normal event generation rules. Access granted/denied
feedback is provided by the FT Controller back to the External System via the FT Controller API.

Licensing
This is a standard feature, included as tangible value to customers purchasing a Cardax FT
Command Centre Software Maintenance Agreement or Software Upgrade.

01/04/08 ©2008 Gallagher Security Management Systems Page 23 of 34

Macro Confirmation Enhancement

Cardax FT Command Centre v5.20 now allows an operator confirmation dialogue to be

displayed before a macro is run.

Macros in Command Centre can contain commands which have a large impact on a site. The
consequences of unintentionally running such a macro (such as accidentally selecting a single
touch macro on a touch screen site plan, or the operator misinterpreting the macro description)
could be significant.

Command Centre v5.20 now allows an optional operator dialogue to be displayed when a manual
macro override is run, which requires operator confirmation before the macro is enacted. The
confirmation text on the dialogue box is configurable, allowing a site to fully describe how the
macro will function to the operator.

Licensing
This is a standard feature, included as tangible value to customers purchasing a Cardax FT
Command Centre Software Maintenance Agreement or Software Upgrade.

Fargo HDP5000 card printer & encoder.

Both individual and batch card printing and encoding with the Fargo HDP5000 Card Printer &
Encoder are now supported in Command Centre v5.20.

Licensing
Support for the Fargo HDP5000 Card Printer and Encoder is included in the chargeable Photo ID
Card Printing & Encoding optional feature license (part# 2A8071).

01/04/08 ©2008 Gallagher Security Management Systems Page 25 of 34

Cardax FT Controller API – Middleware Interfaces

Cardax FT Command Centre v5.20 now supports interfaces with a range of third party
security products, via FT Controller API middleware. All FT Controller API interfaces are
individually licensed optional features, and are supported for the specific version of 3rd
party software listed.

SNMP v1 Interface
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used in network management
systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.
The Cardax FT Controller API – SNMP v1 Interface allows Command Centre to listen for SNMP
traps from any SNMP Agent (for example, alerts from the FT Server hardware, or UPS devices).
These SNMP messages are converted into events/alarms at the FT Controller for alarms
management and audit purposes.

SNMP Supported Version

SNMP Version 1.

01/04/08 ©2008 Gallagher Security Management Systems Page 26 of 34

ASCII Text Interface

Many external systems are capable of receiving ASCII text commands to trigger actions in their
system, or notify them of external events. Common systems using this type of interface are
Matrix Switches, DVR Systems, Paging Systems etc... The Cardax FT Controller API allows the
FT Controller to send out ASCII text strings in response to FT events to a third party system, such
as those above.

Security Escort Interface

Security Escort is a wireless help-call system, produced by Bosch Security Systems, that allows a
user to signal the need for help in the event of an emergency. The systems consists of a network
of transmitters, receivers and transponders linked to a central computer designed to provide a
means of alerting security personnel to potential personal safety problems. The Cardax FT
Controller API Security Escort Interface allows these alarms, including the user’s or asset’s name,
description and current location, to be raised within Command Centre. These alarms can then be
responded to via FT alarms management, displayed in an appropriate location on an FT site plan,
and recorded in the FT database.

Security Escort Supported Version

CIC Keysecure Interface

The CIC KeySecure system is a software package for controlling user access to keys contained
within CIC C.Q.R.iT Key Cabinets. The FT Controller API - CIC KeySecure Interface allows
Cardax FT to be integrated with the KeySecure system, so that cardholders are prevented from
exiting through a Cardax FT controlled door until all keys have been returned.
The interface allows the KeySecure system to generate external card events which are used in
combination with anti-passback in Cardax FT to control user exit. The interface also reports all
key in and out events (irrespective of whether they are to be used for anti-passback purposes), as
well as errors encountered for alarms management and audit purposes.
