System Settings | Options

Options

  • Test Report Time is Periodic: When enabled the test report trouble input will be activated at the frequency defined by the Test Report Time. When disabled the test report trouble input will be activated at the specified time of day.
  • Generate Input Restore On Test Report Input: When enabled the controller will generate a restore event for the trouble input test report input restoring. This occurs one minute after the trouble input has been activated.

  • Enable UL Operation Mode: When this option is enabled, the Protege WX system runs in UL compliance mode.

    This setting has the following effects:

    • Adds a 10 second grace period following a failed poll before a module is reported as offline.

      Each module sends a poll message to the controller every 250 seconds. The module will be reported as offline if no poll has been received for the duration of this poll time plus the 10 second grace period.

    • Suppresses reporting of all alarms and/or reportable events to a monitoring station within the first two minutes of the controller powering up. The system will continue to send poll messages as usual.
    • Reports 'Input Tamper' events as 'Input Open' events when the area that the input is assigned to is armed. If the area is disarmed an 'Input Tamper' message will be sent.
    • Limits the Dial attempts for reporting services to a maximum of 8.

Misc Options

  • Enable Automatic Offline Download: When this option is enabled, the controller will automatically update the users and other offline parameters on legacy intelligent expander modules at the Automatic Offline Time (Configuration tab). This option is not used for DIN rail modules.
  • Log All Access Level Events: When enabled the controller will generate events, including the reason a user was denied access if they do not have the required access rights.

  • Do Not Wait for Dial Tone When Modem Dials Out: When enabled the modem dials out without waiting for a dial tone.

    This setting is only supported by controller models with onboard modem dialers.

  • Enable VOIP Integration: When this option is enabled the controller will allow the Protege Vandal Resistant Touchscreen Entry Station to retrieve user records for directory integration. For more information, see the Protege Vandal Resistant Touchscreen Entry Station installation Manual.

    Controllers on HTTPS currently do not support this feature. This is a known issue.

  • Purge Old Events: When enabled the controller periodically deletes all events older than a specified number of days (14 days by default) from the event log. This is required by local legislation in some countries.
