To integrate MCE Sentry systems in Security Center, you must install the plugin on all Security Center servers and client workstations.

Before you begin

Ensure the following:
  • Your servers meet the recommended system requirements.
  • A compatible version of Security Center is installed.
  • IMPORTANT: The protocol used by MCE Sentry Destination Dispatch does not require authentication or authorization to connect. The plugin should be deployed on the same subnet as the third-party MCE Sentry system, within a closed network.
  • Tip: It is a best practice to host the plugin role on a dedicated expansion server for best system performance, and to enable failover.

Procedure

  1. Open the GTAP Product Download page.
  2. From the Download Finder list, select your version of Security Center.
  3. Search for the MCE Sentry Destination Dispatch plugin package and download it.
  4. Click the downloaded .exe file to unzip it.
    By default, the file is unzipped to C:\Genetec.
  5. Stop the Genetec™ Server, and close Security Desk and Config Tool.
  6. Open the extracted folder, right-click the setup.exe file, and click Run as administrator.
  7. Follow the installation instructions.
  8. On the Installation Wizard Completed page, click Finish.
    IMPORTANT: The Restart Genetec™ Server option is selected by default. You can clear this option if you do not want to restart the Genetec™ Server immediately. However, you must restart the Genetec™ Server to complete the installation.
