2.3.2 SYSTEM SOFTWARE

A. The Contractor shall provide all software required for efficient operation of all the
automatic system functions required by this specification. Software shall be modular
in design for flexibility in expansion or revision of the system. It is the intent of this
specification to require provisions of a system that can be fully utilized by individuals
with no, or limited, previous exposure to PC's and programming techniques and
languages. If the system to be provided requires the use of any modified BASIC, C,
PASCAL, or DRUM language program, or writing "line" programming statements to
modify operation or strategy in the system; the vendor shall provide unlimited, no
charge, software modification and support for a period of five years after the

Systems that are factory programmed are unacceptable.

IP Access Control And Security Management Systems

Issued For Tender Section 16725
Page 12 of 35
 RAKKA SCHOOL

B. The software shall include a general purpose operating system, as well as ACS

and "software" resident in the operator workstations. The architecture of the system
and the application software/firmware shall be distributed with no single-system
component responsible for a control function for the entire LAN. Each controller

function independently in case of a network failure. No active control sequences
shall be resident in the PC workstations. All workstations shall be removable from
the system without loss of control function. Alarm monitoring as well as Access
Control transactions should be buffered at controllers, for future collections when the
workstation is reconnected to the System.

D. The primary operator interface to the system shall be through a graphical, “object
oriented”, interactive presentation, using a mouse and cursor for object selection and
commands.

E. The system software shall support "pop-up" windows for point commands. On
selecting an object with the cursor, a window shall open up to present the operator
with choices corresponding to the operator's password authorizations. These point
commands shall include state changes, manual override of application software and
test mode activation. This window shall include, for reference, the point's descriptor
(name), the point's hardware address, and alarm status.

F. The system software shall support "pop-up" windows for point editing. On selecting
an object with the cursor, a window shall open up to present the operator with a list of
active point database editors, if permitted by the operator’s password level. Selecting
one of these editors shall allow the operator to modify the basic parameters associated
with a point, as well as access any programs assigned to the point (such as time
schedules, events, etc.).

G. The system software shall be based upon interactive prompts and choices using
"dialog boxes," as opposed to memorization of commands, "syntax", exact spellings,
etc. This interactive prompt and choices approach shall be used in monitoring,
issuing commands, and editing. Command choices shall be as simple as "clicking"
the cursor over the correct word choice prompts (i.e., SECURE, UNLOCK), without
having to type in the letters.

H. The system software shall support a “zoom” function. It shall be possible for an
operator to locate any system point to monitor status, issue commands, or edit
associated database without knowledge of the point's name, address, or associated
controller, and without having to refer to a "tree" directory; e.g. the operator shall be
IP Access Control And Security Management Systems

Page 13 of 35
 RAKKA SCHOOL

able to zoom in on a building in a campus graphic, zoom in on a floor in a building

graphic, zoom in on a door in a floor plan graphic, etc.

I. The system software shall be compiled for a faster execution speed and shall offer all
of the following features and capabilities;

1. Input / Output Capabilities: From any local PC workstation or any remotely

connected PC workstation, the system operator shall have the capabilities
through the keyboard/mouse to request dynamic displays of current values or
status using a tabular or graphic format. A global database sort utility shall
allow an expanded tabular display of only the points on the current graphic
display. This expanded tabular display shall list point name, hardware address,
alarm status, override status, and test mode status.

2. Obtain a summary of all access control doors with status (under access control,
access control disabled, or access control ignored) and allow issuing
commands to the access control doors to manually force the door to one of the
above states, or provide a momentary release (act as a valid key/card access),
or return to automatic control (remove manual state).

3. Add, delete, or change points within each Controller or application routine

while on-line.

4. Change point I/O descriptors, status, and alarm descriptors while the system is
on-line.

5. Add new Controllers to the system while the system is on-line.

6. Develop, modify, delete or display full range of color graphic displays

providing dynamic, animated displays. All development, editing and display
work shall be capable of being performed with the system fully on-line and in
full communication with the Controllers.

2.3.3 DATABASE CREATION AND SUPPORT

The intent of this specification is to provide an ACS system that will allow the
operator to independently perform his own modifications to the system from any
operator workstation. All changes shall be carried out while utilizing standard
procedures, and must be capable of being done while the system is on-line and
operational. The Access Control Panel on the LAN shall automatically check a PC
workstation's database files upon connection to verify a current database match. A
utility shall inform the operator if the Access Control Panel’s database files do not
match the backup files stored on the PC workstation, along with the date of the last
Access Control Panel modification and date of the last backup. The operator must
have, as a minimum, the on-line capability to;
