Adding your Southwest Microwave MicroPoint-POE-S fence systems as tracking systems to Security Center - Restricted Security Area Surveillance

Before you can monitor the restricted areas secured by your Southwest Microwave perimeter intrusion detection system in Security Center, you must add each Southwest Microwave processor module as a tracking system in Config Tool. If you are using the Inter-System Gateway (IS Gateway), you must first add your processor module to a driver container in the IS Gateway, and then add the driver container as a tracking system in Config Tool.

To add your MicroPoint-POE-S fence system as a tracking system to Security Center with the IS Gateway:

1. Log on to the IS Gateway web portal:
   1. Open a web browser and enter the URL https://<GatewayServer>:4242.
      <GatewayServer> is the name or IP address of the server hosting the IS Gateway service. The default port is 4242. Use the port you configured at installation.
   2. Accept the security certificate.
   3. On the logon page, enter the Username and Password and click Sign in.
      The username and password were assigned during the Inter-System Gateway Configuration step of the IS Gateway service installation.
2. Add a driver container for the tracking system that you want to add to Security Center:
   1. On the homepage of the IS Gateway, click the Container () tab.
   2. Click the button besides the docker engine label, and then click Add driver container.
   3. In the Add Driver Container window that opens, enter the following information:
      

      Driver

      Select the driver that you want to install.

      Version

      Select the driver version that you want. The latest version is selected by default.

      Label

      Label used to identify this driver container in the list of containers on the left.

      Port

      Port used to communicate with the driver.

      Network adapter

      Select the network adapter used by the driver to communicate with the IS Gateway service.

      Show advanced

      Some drivers require other communication ports to be open. If necessary, click here to add those ports.

   4. Click Add.
      The IS Gateway immediately downloads the required driver container image from the repository. A notification is shown in the upper right corner of the browser page during the download process.

      

      After the download completes, the new driver container is displayed in the list of containers on the left, under the selected docker engine.

      
   5. Start the driver container. To do so, click the button beside the driver container label and click Start.
   NOTE: If you are adding multiple driver containers, make sure that each driver container has a unique port number. This will prevent any port conflicts if multiple driver containers are running at the same time.
3. Select the driver container corresponding to the tracking system that you want to add to Security Center.
4. Add the processor modules to your perimeter:
   1. In the Communication section under MicroPoint POE, click Add a new device ().
      
   2. In the Add device window that opens, enter the following information:
      

      Name

      Enter a unique name for this POE-S processor module.

      IP Address

      The IP address of the processor module.

      Port

      The TCP port number that the processor module uses to send event notifications from sensors in the perimeter and to receive command and control information from the plugin.

      Username and Password

      The administrator-level credentials that are used to connect remotely to the processor module.

   3. Click OK.
      The processor module is listed under Devices in the MicroPoint POE section.
   4. Repeat the previous sub-steps for each processor module in your perimeter.
   5. Click Save.
5. Add the segments (sections) that make up your perimeter:
   1. In the Communication section under MicroPoint POE, click Add a new section ().
      
   2. In the Add zone section window that opens, enter the following information:
      

      Name

      Enter a unique name for this POE-S zone section.

      Starting device

      The name of the processor module that is closest to the start of the segment.

      Starting cell

      The ID of the sensor that is closest to the start of the segment.

      Ending device

      The name of the processor module that is closest to the end of the segment.

      Ending cell

      The ID of the sensor that is closest to the end of the segment.

   3. Click OK.
      The segment is listed under Zone section definitions.
   4. Repeat the previous sub-steps to add all the segments that make up your perimeter.
   5. Click Save.
6. Add the segments to the map:
   1. In the top menu bar of the Southwest Microwave driver container, click the map icon ().
      A map to which you can add your segments is displayed.
      
   2. Under MicroPoint POE zone sections, select one of the perimeter segments, and then click Start editing.
   3. Zoom in to the perimeter location on the map, and click the map to create the endpoints of the segment. Double-click the last endpoint to complete the segment.
   4. Click Stop editing.
   5. Repeat the previous sub-steps to add all the segments that make up your perimeter.
      NOTE: To edit a segment, select it from the list of segments, and then click Start editing. Drag and drop the segment points on the map to the desired positions. When you are finished, click Stop editing.

      To delete a segment from the map, you must delete the segment from the main configuration screen of the Southwest Microwave driver container, and then click Save.

   6. Compare the Cell length and Perimeter length (in meters) columns to confirm that the length of each segment is accurate within 10 meters.
      NOTE: Cells (sensors) are positioned at equal intervals along a perimeter. The Perimeter length (in meters) column calculates the distance, in meters, from the first cell to the last cell in the segment.

      If a segment differs from the actual perimeter by 10 meters or more, you must delete, re-add, and redraw the segment.

7. Group the segments into zones:
   1. In the top menu bar of the Southwest Microwave driver container, click the cogwheel () to return to the main configuration screen of the Southwest Microwave driver container.
   2. In the Communication section under MicroPoint POE, click Add a new zone definition ().
      
   3. In the Add zone definition window that opens, complete the following:
      

      Name

      Enter a unique name for this POE-S zone.
