To prepare your CIAS
devices for integration with Security Center, you must configure the CIAS system to communicate with the Genetec™ Restricted Security
Area Surveillance (RSA Surveillance) plugin. For specific details about configuring your
devices and software, refer to the CIAS
documentation.
Before you begin
- Make sure that your CIAS system is operating as per the
manufacturer's specifications.
-
Make sure that your CIAS devices and software are compatible with the RSA Surveillance plugin. For the latest compatibility
information, see Supported plugins in Security Center on the
Genetec TechDoc Hub.
What you should know
This task describes in a general way how the
CIAS system needs to be configured for it to communicate
with the plugin. For specific details about the configuration of your devices and
software, refer to the CIAS documentation.
Procedure
-
Deploy and configure the CIAS system as described in the
CIAS documentation.
-
Make sure that the CIAS devices are configured in the IB-System IP application
and are operating as expected:
-
In the Global section of the IB-System output
configuration, add an output that supports the CIAS 02 protocol.
NOTE: To represent all the perimeter segments on the map in Security Center, you must
configure your system to list as many devices as segments you want
to create.
-
For some organizations, network security policies require that the
IP devices, routers, and switches in their network block unused ports. If your
organization has such policies in place, then make sure to open the TCP port that the
RSA Surveillance plugin and the CIAS system use to communicate.
-
Take note of the following information. You need it to configure the tracking
system:
- IP address configured on the IB-System IP in the
Global section of the Output
Configuration.
- TCP port configured on the IB-System IP in the
Global section of the Output
Configuration.
