What is the MCE Sentry Destination Dispatch plugin? - MCE Sentry Destination Dispatch 3.0.0

Administrator tasks using Config Tool

You can use the plugin to do the following:

• Add MCE floor markings and destination input devices as entities in Security Center.
• Configure access rules to provide cardholders and cardholder groups with access to MCE floor markings. For more information on cardholder configuration, see About cardholders.
• Create security levels for MCE floor markings, where MCE floor markings are universally accessible or accessible through access rules. Security levels can be set at all times, or on a schedule.
• Associate destination input devices, which are the kiosks used by cardholders to select their desired floor, to MCE floor markings or elevator cars.
• Associate destination input devices to the readers in your Security Center system. When a cardholder swipes their credential, the display provides a list of floors the cardholder has access to.
• Assign a home floor to each cardholder, so when they swipe their credential at a reader, the elevator automatically brings them to their assigned floor.
  NOTE: This feature is typically used with readers that are located at turnstiles, but can be configured on any destination input device.
• Associate cameras to MCE floor markings and destination input devices to monitor live video.
• Assign the following call types to cardholder groups, so elevator cars can be dispatched based on priority:
  • VIP
  • Hospital
  • Handicap
  • Visitor
• Use MCE Sentry Destination Dispatch custom events to trigger a specific set of automated system activities using the event-to-action configurations in Security Center.
