Configuring federated reads matching for Federation™ systems - Security Center 5.11

To raise hits against hotlists defined on the Federation™ host, you must configure the ALPR Manager role on the host so that it can connect and receive reads from the federated sites.

To configure the federated reads matching feature on the Federation™ host:

1. From the Config Tool homepage, click System > Roles, and then select the ALPR Manager you want to configure.
2. Click the Properties tab, and then enable the Matching option.
3. In the Federated reads matching section, click to add federated ALPR or Patroller units.
   
4. In the Federated reads matching dialog box, select the entities for matching.
   You can select entities by doing either of the following:

   • Click a federated role.
     NOTE: This selects all the corresponding child ALPR units. Also, any future units added to this role are automatically selected.
   • Click individual ALPR and Patroller units under a federated role.

   
5. Click Apply.
6. Click Apply on the Properties page.
   

To turn off the federated reads matching feature:

1. In the Federated reads matching section, click to add federated ALPR or Patroller units.
2. Click the Properties tab, and then turn on the Matching option.
3. In the Federated reads matching section, click to edit federated ALPR or Patroller units.
4. In the Federated reads matching dialog box, clear all the selected federated entities and then click Apply.
   IMPORTANT: If the Matching option on the ALPR Manager role is disabled without removing the selected entities from the Federated reads matching section, the federated site continues to forward reads. This can negatively impact system performance.
5. Click Apply on the Properties page.
