To upgrade your Security
Center system to a
collaborative decision management system, you must install Genetec Mission
Control™ on all Security
Center servers and workstations.
Before you begin
- Read the Genetec Mission
Control™ Release
Notes for known issues, supported upgrade paths, system requirements, and other
information about the release. Click here for the most recent version of the release notes.
- Ensure that a supported version of Security
Center is installed before installing Genetec Mission
Control™.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you install Genetec Mission
Control™ on all Security
Center servers hosting the Directory role or the
Incident Manager role, and on all Security
Center
client workstations.
Procedure
-
Get the Genetec Mission
Control™ installation package from your representative of Genetec Inc.
-
Double-click setup.exe to launch the Genetec Mission
Control™ Installer.
-
On the Choose Setup Language page, select either English or French
and click Next.
The
Welcome to the InstallShield Wizard page
appears.

-
On the Welcome to the InstallShield Wizard page, click the links
to read Genetec Mission
Control™documentation in PDF
format, and then click Next.
-
On the License Agreement page, read the terms in the Genetec™ Software License Agreement, select
I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click
Next.
-
On the Setup Type page, choose a setup:

- Typical
- This option installs both Genetec Mission
Control™ and
RabbitMQ on a Security
Center server. However,
if you only have Security
Center Client is
installed, choosing this option only installs Genetec Mission
Control™.
- Advanced
- This option opens the Custom Setup page. On that page, you can
choose to install Genetec Mission
Control™ or RabbitMQ
individually.
IMPORTANT: By choosing to install RabbitMQ, you install the
latest version. However, Genetec Mission
Control™ also
supports earlier versions. If you have other products that require an earlier version
of RabbitMQ installed on the same machine, such as Sipelia™ 2.5 and earlier, you must select the
Advanced option, and clear the RabbitMQ
Server option on the next page.
-
On the Custom Setup page, select the software you want to
install.
A custom install is useful when you want to install one of the applications, such as
RabbitMQ, on another server for high availability.

- Mission Control
- Must be installed on all servers hosting the Directory role or the Incident Manager
role, and all client workstations.
- RabbitMQ Server
- Can be installed on any server, not necessarily a Security
Center server. If RabbitMQ is already
installed on this machine for another product, clear this option. Genetec Mission
Control™ is also compatible with older versions
of RabbitMQ.
-
Click Next or Install.
-
If you chose to install RabbitMQ, the RabbitMQ Configuration page
opens. On this page, enter the following:

- Username and Password
- Credentials used by the Incident Manager to connect to the RabbitMQ server.
- Port to use for secure connection (SSL)
- Communication port for connections between Security
Center applications and the RabbitMQ server.
The default port is 5671.
NOTE: The Incident Manager role can only connect to RabbitMQ using the SSL port. Using the
non-SSL port results in a failed connection. Refer to
Modifying RabbitMQ ports for instructions on modifying the port
assignment.
-
Click Install.
-
If you have not elected to restart the Genetec™
Server service as part of the installation,
restart it after the installation has been completed.
