You can create multiple SiPass plugin roles in Security
Center to synchronize entities, receive events from, and to send commands to more than one SiPass system simultaneously.
Before you begin
- Make sure that all the SiPass servers to which Security
Center will connect run the same version
- Make sure that a SiPass plugin is installed on the Genetec servers where you will host the plugin roles.
What you should know
IMPORTANT: Although you can add multiple SiPass plugin roles that point to the same IP address, this must never be done because you will get duplicates of all the SiPass entities. Make sure that each role points to the unique IP address of a SiPass server.
Procedure
-
Create a new SiPass plugin role.
IMPORTANT: When creating multiple SiPass plugin roles, you can use the same
database server, but you must create a new database and not reuse the
current one, because two roles cannot use the same database.
-
Configure the plugin role to
connect to the SiPass
server.
-
In the Host field,
make sure to enter a hostname or IP address that is not already used by another
plugin.
-
In the Port field,
make sure to enter a port number that is not already used by another
plugin.
-
Change the port
number used on the SiPass
server.
Results
Security
Center can connect to multiple
SiPass servers, and synchronize entities and
receive events from each of them simultaneously.
