Configuring the Vanderbilt SPC extension properties - SPC intrusion panel 3.2

To use Vanderbilt SPC intrusion panels in Security Center, you must configure how the Intrusion Manager listens for SPC panel connections.

1. From the Config Tool home page, open the Intrusion detection task.
2. Select the Intrusion Manager role, click the Extensions tab, and click the SPC page.
   
3. Configure the following options:

   Grace period

   Select the period in which events can occur while the panel is offline, so that they are treated as normal events after the panel reconnects.

   Events from the panel that occurred within the Grace period are treated as normal events in Security Desk after the panel reconnects. The events appear in the event list in the Monitoring task, are recorded in the database, and event-to-actions that were set up for the event are triggered.

   Alarm grace period

   Select the period in which alarms can occur while the panel is offline, so that they are treated as normal alarms after the panel reconnects.

   Alarms from the panel that occurred within the Alarm grace period are treated as normal alarms in Security Desk when the panel reconnects. They appear in the alarm list in the Alarm monitoring and Monitoring tasks, and are recorded in the database.

   Persistence grace period

   Events and alarms from the panel that occurred within the Persistence period while the panel was offline, are only recorded in the database when the panel reconnects. Events and alarms that occur outside of the Persistence period are not recorded.

4. Click Apply.
