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.
