You can automate the process of installing the Genetec™ Receiver extension by installing it in silent mode.

Before you begin

Ensure the following:

What you should know

  • A silent installation is an automated way of installing software without using an installer. The silent installation is run from the Command Prompt using the setup.exe executable, and Windows Installer commands.
  • A silent install will install the plugin using its default settings.
  • Although it is possible to host the Intrusion Manager role on any server, it is a best practice to host that role on a dedicated expansion server for best system performance.
  • If you already have an Intrusion Manager role set up, install the extension on that server.
  • For your operators to have access to the features added by this extension, you must install this extension on all Security Center client workstations.

  1. Open the GTAP Product Download page.
  2. From the Download Finder list, select your version of Security Center.
  3. Search for your package by name and download it.

  5. In Windows, right-click the Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
  6. In the Command Prompt, enter the following command line:
    IMPORTANT: Enter the commands without line breaks or hard returns except at the end of the line.
    Code 
    "Genetec Receiver Intrusion Extension Setup.exe" /silent /ISInstallDir_ReceiverIntrusionExtension="C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec Intrusion Extensions\Receiver" RESTART_GENETEC_SERVER="1"
