Pay-by-Plate Sync settings reference

This section describes the Pay-by-Plate Sync settings that are available in the Genetec Patroller™ Config Tool’s Operation tab.

Settings	Description
Disable Enforce button on validation error	ON Disables the Enforce button in Genetec Patroller™ if there is a communication error that prevents the last chance lookup from validating the hit. OFF Does not disable enforcement if there is a validation error. NOTE: The option Disable Enforce button on false hits supersedes this option. If you allow enforcement of false hits, this option has no effect.
Disable Enforce button on false hits	ON Disables the Enforce button in Patroller if the last chance lookup confirms that the captured plate is valid and is in the provider’s system (false hit). OFF You receive a message informing you that the hit is invalid, but you will be allowed to enforce it if you choose.
Update permit data on false hits	ON Patroller updates your selected permit list if the last chance lookup confirms that the captured plate is valid and is in the provider’s system (false hit). OFF Permits are only updated when Security Center gets new information from the parking provider, and then updates Patroller using the Periodic Transfer value (which should be set to 1 minute). As a best practice, turn this setting off. NOTE: If you turn this setting off, make sure that permit updates are not set to “0” in Security Center Config Tool, or permits will not be updated automatically.
Update permit data on permit selection	ON When you select a permit to enforce in Patroller, the permit is automatically updated with the latest information from the parking provider’s system. OFF Permits are only updated when Security Center gets new information from the parking provider, and then updates Patroller using the Periodic Transfer value (which should be set to 1 minute). As a best practice, turn this setting off. NOTE: If you turn this setting off, make sure that permit updates are not set to “0” in Security Center Config Tool, or permits will not be updated automatically.
Show synchronization status on permit selection	ON Displays a pop-up window after you select a permit that shows the synchronization status between Patroller and Security Center. OFF The pop-up window is not displayed. IMPORTANT: If you turn this setting off, synchronization will still occur if the option Update permit data when selecting a permit is enabled. However, you will not know when synchronization is complete, or if there were any errors. It is recommended that you leave this setting on.
Security Center communication port	Enter the port number to use for connecting to the Security Center Pay-by-Plate Sync plugin role (default is 8787). This must match the port entered in Security Center Config Tool for the setting Patroller communication port.
Security Center URL	Type the IP address (in the form of a URL) to connect to the Security Center Pay-by-Plate Sync plugin role. For example, if you want to connect to IP address 123.456.78.9, you must type the full address as http://123.456.78.9. IMPORTANT: Do not include a trailing slash after the IP address.
Security Center URL (failover 1)	If you have failover configured for the Pay-by-Plate Sync plugin role, enter the IP address (in the form of a URL) of the first failover server.
Security Center URL (failover 2)	If you have failover configured for the Pay-by-Plate Sync plugin role, enter the IP address (in the form of a URL) of the second failover server.
Security Center URL (failover 3)	If you have failover configured for the Pay-by-Plate Sync plugin role, enter the IP address (in the form of a URL) of the third failover server.
Communication timeout (seconds)	Enter the number of seconds before a communication request between Patroller and Security Center times out.
