By default, live and automatic synchronization are disabled on the plugin role. You
can enable these parameters anytime.
What you should know
- There are two types of synchronization:
- Live synchronization: gets updated CCURE entities as the changes
occur on the CCURE 9000 system.
- Automatic synchronization: gets the CCURE entities from the CCURE 9000 system when the plugin reconnects to the
CCURE 9000 server.
- Synchronization is one-way from CCURE 9000 to Security Center. If a CCURE entity is changed
in Security Center, the changes are lost
during synchronization.
- Synchronization can take many minutes or even hours to complete, depending on
the number of entities. For faster synchronization, disable the synchronization
of entities that you do not require. Personnel and related pictures usually
takes the most time to synchronize.
Procedure
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
Plugins task.
-
In the Plugins task, select the CCURE Access Control
plugin from the entity browser, and click the
Synchronization tab.
-
Expand the Synchronization options section, click
, and then add a Security Center partition.
All synchronized CCURE 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
Alarm and events tab.
-
Expand the Synchronization details section, then configure
the following:
- 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 partition, nothing is imported.
- Events
-
- Turn on Events to get live updates of the CCURE 9000 XFEvent definitions, including changes,
additions, and deletions.
- Turn on Automatically synchronize when
connected to download all CCure XFEvents when the
plugin reconnects to the CCURE 9000 server.
- Hardware, areas and zones
- Turn on Hardware, areas and zones to get live updates of the changes,
additions, and deletions made to the panels, readers, doors, areas,
and zones in the CCURE 9000 system.
- Turn on Inputs to get live updates of panel
inputs.
- Turn on Outputs to get live updates of panel
outputs.
- Turn on Automatically synchronize when connected to
download all existing panels, readers, areas, doors when the plugin
reconnects to the CCURE 9000 server. If live updates of
inputs and outputs is on, then they are also automatically synchronized upon
reconnection.
- Personnel
- Turn on Personnel to get the basic personnel data, like first and last
name.
- Turn on Automatically synchronize when connected
to get all selected personnel entities when the plugin
reconnects to the CCURE 9000 server.
- Turn on Disabled to get live updates of the personnel
that are disabled in the system.
- Turn on Pictures to get the latest cardholder photos.
Choose either a full or thumbnail image. Full images take more time
to synchronize than thumbnail images.
- Turn on Customer labels to get live updates to the
personnel's custom fields.
NOTE: If a custom field exists in the
CCURE 9000 system, but is deleted from Config
Tool, the field
is not recreated during live updates. To recreate the field,
deactivate, and then activate the plugin.
- Turn on User defined fields to get live updates of the personnel's
user defined fields.
- Journal
- To download the CCure 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 Security Center database and can be
viewed using the report tasks in Security
Desk.
-
Click OK, and then Apply.
You can see entities that were added or deleted during synchronization in the
Latest live updates section.
