Synergis™ Softwire 11.4.0 includes the following enhancements.
General enhancements
- Customizable appliance hostname
- You can now configure the hostname of your Synergis™ appliance from the Synergis™ Appliance Portal.
- Network Time Protocol (NTP) support
- You can now sync your Synergis units with an NTP server if one is reachable on your network. NTP offers greater time accuracy than the built-in protocol that synchronizes the Synergis units with their Access Manager.
- New storage cleanup option
- A new Cleanup option, Delete SCP log and archived SCL
logs, has been added to the Storage page in the
Synergis™ Appliance Portal. When selected, this option deletes all Synergis™ Cloud Link
(SCL) logs and SCP logs, if Mercury SCP logging is
enabled.NOTE: This enhancement only applies to legacy Synergis Cloud Link units with image version 4.0 and later.
For more information on the above features, see Configuring the network properties of the Synergis unit.
Security enhancements
- DESFire EV2 secure messaging support
- We now support DESFire EV2 secure messaging. The DESFire keys can either be stored in
the Synergis key store or in a Secure Access Module (SAM) AV3 card. The supported
readers are all STid SSCP readers and all OSDP transparent readers.
For more information, see Enabling DESFire EV2 secure messaging.
Mercury integration enhancements
- Customized LED and beeper behavior
- You can now configure the LED and beeper settings of all Mercury-controlled readers
from the Synergis™ Appliance Portal. You can also export
the LED and beeper settings from one Synergis
unit and import them to other Synergis units.
For more information, see Configuring reader LED and beeper settings for the Synergis unit.
- Updated Mercury controller settings:
- The following door settings were updated on the Mercury controller
settings page in the Synergis™ Appliance Portal:
- Live 'Request to exit' events
- Changes the way that Synergis™ Softwire processes Request to exit events from
Mercury LP controllers, so that the timestamps on the events are accurately
reported. NOTE: This option was added in version 11.3.4 and used to be off by default. Now, it is on by default.
Synergis™ IX integration enhancements
- Reporting which input triggered an intrusion detection area alarm
- You can now see which input triggered the Intrusion detection area alarm
activated event in the Monitoring task and the
Intrusion detection area activities task, even after the input as
returned to its Normal state.
To benefit from this enhancement, you must have the Synergis™ IX extension 3.2 or later installed.
