A manual synchronization is required the first time you connect to the CCURE 9000. Synchronization imports all compatible entities from the CCURE 9000 server into Security Center. You can choose which entities to
import and from which CCURE 9000 partitions.
What you should know
For a description of manual synchronization, see
How synchronization works with CCURE 9000.
Procedure
-
From the Config Tool homepage, open the Plugins
task.
-
Select the CCURE 9000 Access Control plugin from the entity browser, and click
the Synchronization tab.
-
Expand the Synchronization options section and click
Add partition membership for synchronized entities
() under the
Entity partitions list.
A window with a list of available Security Center partitions
opens.
-
Select a Security Center partition and click OK.
All synchronized
CCURE 9000 entities, except XFEvents,
will be added to the Security Center partitions that are listed in the
Entity partition section. You assign XFEvents to
partitions from the
Alarm and events page.
IMPORTANT: Configure the entity
partition before performing a synchronization. This setting is only used
when creating new entities. When the entity is configured, you can move it
to a different partition if you need to.
For more
information, see About partitions.
-
Expand the Synchronization details section, and then click
the Manual synchronization button.
In the
Manual synchronization dialog box, choose
the entities you want to synchronize.
IMPORTANT: For the first
synchronization, it is recommended to synchronize one type of entity at a
time.
- Partitions
-
- Turn off the Partitions filter to
synchronize all CCURE 9000 partitions.
This is the default setting.
- Turn on the Partitions filter, and
select the specific CCURE 9000 partitions
to synchronize. Warning: If you turn on the filter
without selecting a CCURE 9000 partition,
nothing is imported.
- Events
- Turn on Events to get all existing XFEvents.
All synchronized XFEvents are listed in the Alarms and
events page of the CCURE 9000 Access Control plugin
role. Note: XFEvents are not added to the Security Center
partition that is selected in the Synchronization options
above.
- Hardware, areas and zones
-
- Turn on Hardware, areas and zones to
get all existing panels, readers, doors, areas, and zones
from the CCURE 9000 software.
- Turn on Inputs to get all available
inputs on the CCURE 9000 panels.
- Turn on Outputs to get all available
outputs on the CCURE 9000 panels.
- Personnel
-
- Turn on
Personnel to synchronize CCURE 9000 personnel as Security Center
cardholders. Basic personnel data like first and last name
is imported. For a full list of imported data, see Synchronized CCURE 9000 cardholder properties.
- Turn on Disabled to get personnel
that are disabled in the system.
- Turn on Pictures to get the personnel
photos. Choose either a full or thumbnail image.
- Turn on Customer labels to get the
custom fields for the personnel.
- Turn on User defined fields to get the fields created
for the personnel.
- Journal
- To retrieve the CCURE 9000 event
logs after the plugin reconnects to the CCURE 9000
system, turn on Automatically synchronize when
connected, and then specify how many days of logs to
retrieve. These events are stored in the plugin database and can be
viewed using the report tasks in Security Desk. This includes
XFEvents configured for custom events in Security Center. Events
that occur during the offline grace period are triggered and stored
in the plugin database. For more information on the offline grace
period, see Configuring the offline grace period for alarms and events in theCCURE 9000 Access Control plugin.
-
Click OK, and then Apply.
To see the progress of the synchronization, click
, next
to the synchronization
State.
-
If the table remains empty after the synchronization,
click the Refresh ()
button to update it.

the CCURE 9000 Access Control plugin role. XFEvents that require acknowledgment
are listed as Alarms and XFEvents do not require
acknowledgment are listed as Custom events.

role in the entity browser and in the Area view task.
