Text Status

The Text status  allows an operator to display the status of a selected component (and sub-components) as well as all the characteristics associated with this component in a text form. This menu option applies to all the system devices: applications, gateways, sites, controllers, doors, relays and inputs. The text window contains additional buttons/buttons that assist operators in their tasks:

•   The first eight buttons represent system devices (Workstation, Gateway, connection, Controller, Door, Input and Output). When a button representing a system device is selected, all the components defined in the system are displayed for selection.

•   Summary / Detailed list —The magnifying glass button is used to display components that are not in normal condition. It displays a summary list or a detailed list.

•   Summary: shows the components that are not in normal condition

•   Detail: shows all the components in any condition.

•   Stop display —This button is used to stop the display when the information is taking too much time. It cancels or interrupts the process.

•   Refresh —Refreshes the status of the selected components.

•   Print —Use this button to print the displayed status. You can preview your report before printing it.

Displaying a Component Status

1 - From the Status  tab, select the Text Status button. The Text   window appears.

2 - In the Text window, select the button of the component for which you want to view the status. If you select the Workstation button, the system displays the list of the EntraPass Applications defined in the system.

3 - You can check the EntraPass application you want to display the status or enter a few characters of the component name (field at the top) for the system to searched in the database. For example, you can enter “Sec” for Security Office. The system will highlight the first name containing the entered characters. You may also click the Select all button to select all the EntraPass applications; or select specific components by clicking in the checkboxes next to each component name. The Clear all  button removes the check marks from the selected components. Click Cancel  to return to the previous window without any selections or changes.

4 - You may check the View sub-components  option (lower part of the window) to display detailed information on the sub-components linked to the selected component. For example, if you selected a controller, all its components (doors, relays, inputs) with appropriate status will be displayed on the window if this option was checked. For more focus in one window, filter doors, relays or inputs by connection.

5 - Click OK to return to the previous window and apply your selections.

Note: The Magnifying glass  button is used to display components that are not in normal condition. When it is in a “summary” position, only components that are not in normal condition will be displayed; the “detailed” position, displays a full status of all components.
