Typical Implementation Process
Typical Implementation Process
Each C•CURE 9000 installation is unique. You should carefully plan how you want to design and implement your
security and event management system. Relationships and dependencies between the various elements of the
security system managed in C•CURE 9000 often require specific sequences for configuration, import, export, and
monitoring.
As part of your planning for implementing C•CURE 9000 at your site, consider the general steps listed in Table 1 on
Page 13. These are typical tasks. You and your Software House integrator should adapt the details and sequence of
your implementation to suit your specific requirements. .

9000 online help.
3 Configure Configuring security objects are hardware systems that coordinate communication between the C•CURE 9000
Controllers server and the system security hardware.
You should configure your controllers before you define the security objects that are connected to them. See
Hardware Pane on Page 43 for more information on Hardware configuration.
4 Partitions Partitioning allows you to sub-divide your C•CURE 9000 system into separate compartments so that you can
manage specified hardware and security objects separately, and assign Operator Privileges to view/edit these
on Page
objects, while providing limited or no access to objects outside the Partition.

5 Configure A Reader is a hardware device that accepts access requests. To make an access request, a person swipes an access
readers card at the reader or types a Personal Identification Number (PIN) at a reader keypad. The card reader scans the
information encoded on the card and sends the card data (or any entered PIN numbers) to the controller, which
grants or denies access.
You can create a Reader for each type of controller in C•CURE 9000 and use the Reader Editor in the C•CURE
9000 Hardware Pane to configure the Reader.
6 Configure Card Formats are used to specify how access cards are interpreted by card readers in C•CURE 9000. You can
card assign one or more card formats to a reader to specify the types of cards the reader can accept for access requests.
formats The type of card formats you can assign depend on the capabilities of the reader.
You configure Card Formats using the Card Format Editor.
I Configure Doors are security objects in C•CURE 9000 that represent a securable entry or exit, as well as the hardware used to
doors establish access control for that entry or exit.
A Door could be configured to include a switch, a lock, a bond sensor, an entrance or exit reader, or a request to exit
device. Also, a Door can be configured to control access using timers and schedules, trigger actions based on the
state of the Door (open or closed), and support different access methods, such as, reader and keypad.

Typical Implementation Process
Typical C•CURE 9000 Implementation Steps (continued)
Task Description
8 Configure Access to floors is managed through Elevator control. You configure an elevator or elevator group through the use of
elevators buttons that represent fbors with inputs and outputs.
You can add elevators to clearances that are used to control which card holders can access the elevators and floors
and at what times.
The Elevator Editor in C•CURE 9000 lets you create Elevator objects so that you can access floors. You specify the
floors. inputs. and outputs associated with the elevator. You can configure an Elevator to work with an a pC. STAR. or
ISC controller.
9 Configure In C•CURE 9000. schedulescan be used throughout the system. Schedules are used to enhance oantrolof a variety
schedules of system activities, including system backups, event activation, personnel access, and holidays.
A Schedule is used to specify Start and End times for any object to which it is attached. For example,
separate Schedules can be attached to a Door to determine when:
• The Door should be unlocked
• A Reader can be used to access the door
• A Reader plus a Keypad code can be used to access the door.
10 Configure Personnel represent the people who access your site as cardholders and as Operators of the C•CURE 9000
personnel software. You use Personnel records to configure their access privileges. Operator privileges, and design and print
records their access badges.
You define Personnel using the Personnel Editor.
11 Set A clearance defines the locations and times that an access card is valid. In C•CURE 9000, you create clearance
clearances objects to define access to specific doors and elevators, on specified schedules, and then assign these clearances to
individualcardholders, or groupsof cardholders.
12 Configure A C•CURE 9000 event is used to define the way
events C•CURE 9000 responds to state changes that occur to objects in the system. You can use events to perform actions
when a state change occurs.
You can create events that perform simple functions, like unlocking a door, or a complex functions. like arming.
disarming, and monitoring an area. You can link an event directly to a single action or you can link it to multiple events
and actions.
You define Events using the Events Editor.
13 Set You must determine who can access C•CURE 9000. and what operations each individual is albwed to perform. To
operator access C•CURE 9000. a person must have a Windows user account on the C•CURE 9000 server and must be
privileges configured as a C•CURE 9000 operator.
You can define the Privileges that you assign to Operators using the Privilege Editor. This editor lets you specify the
objects, programs, reports, Personnel, and actions that Operators can view and use. For example, you can set up
some Operators to manage Personnel only, while others are allowed to monitor access admissions and rejections
onty.
You define Operators using the Operator Editor in the C•CURE 9000 Configuration Pane..
A privilege is a collection of rights to use access control objects such as readers, doors, inputs, outputs, and
schedules.

Object-oriented Management
C•CURE 9000 manages information as objects. In C•CURE 9000, the term object refers to a collection of definable
properties that is saved in a database to describe a particular element of your security and event management
system.
Examples of objects in C•CURE 9000 include:
■ Access control equipment at your site, such as, readers and controllers
■ Items configured in C•CURE 9000, such as, reports, or import definitions
■ Activities monitored by the system, such as, configuration changes or events
■ Persons who access your site, such as, employees, contractors, and visitors
You can build a customized security and event management system that satisfies your current security and
operational requirements and modify the system as your requirements evolve.
See Managing Security Objects on Page 30 for more information.
Event Management
An Event is an object that lets you link actions, messages, and time activations into one component. Events are
triggered by state changes, such as temperature fluctuations, forced doors, or rejected access requests.
C•CURE 9000 manages events using a cause and effect strategy. Anything that C•CURE 9000 can monitor can be
used to generate an event, and the event can trigger any action.
You can schedule events to occur once or to repeat at specific times. You can configure events that perform simple
functions,for example, unlocking a door. You can also configure events for complex functions, for example, arming,
disarming, and monitoring an entire area. You can link an event to a single action or link it to multiple events and
actions.
When you configure an event, you assign it an event priority. Event priorities allow you to rank the importance of a
particular event relative to other events in the system. Then, if multiple events occur simultaneously, the system
compares event priorities to determine the proper sequence of response. C•CURE 9000 provides eight priority ranges,
each containing 25 priority settings, for a total of 200 possible event priorities.
See Understanding Events in the C•CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide for more information.

Partitions
The Partition function (Partitioning), in conjunction with the Privileges and Operator functions, allows you to create
different sub-divisions, or Partitions, for your C•CURE 9000 system and to separate security objects into these
different partitions for both creation and viewing. Operators can be allowed access to, or limited from accessing,
individual security objects associated with a Partition.
If you have more than one business or department, or multiple buildings on your site, you may need to segment
databases of Personnel and Hardware so that they can be managed or monitored independently without setting up
multiple security systems. In a partitioned system, you can group Personnel, security objects, hardware, and reports
so they can be managed by appropriate Operators, without losing the advantages of central monitoring and
administration of the system.
Example:
If you had a department building and you wanted it monitored by a dedicated security staff, Partitioning would let
you organize the security objects, such as, Clearances and Personnel in a Partition that department staff could use
without giving them access to security objects outside of their Partition.
Partitioning allows C•CURE 9000 to support customer models such as multi-tenant facilities and multi-building
campuses.
The New Object Partition setting in the Administration Workstation Navigation pane determines the Partition in
which an Operator can create objects.
MI C•CURE 9000 security objects can be partitioned except
■ Time Zones
■ Logical Elevator Floors
(The Inputs/Outputs controlling the elevator buttons can be partitioned so access to the physical elevator
floors can be managed through Partitions.)
■ Digital Certificates
■ System Variables
■ Backup and Restore
■ Log Format Objects
■ CCTV Protocols
■ Event Viewer and other objects dragged on top of the Application Layout
For more information on Partitions, see the chapter "Partition" in the C•CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide.
Search
C•CURE 9000 lets you search for objects saved in the system and filter the search results. You can perform a Quick
Search using default search criteria or perform an Advanced Search, with three options:
• Run an existing query (either system pre-defined or user-created
• Run an Instant Query (see Finding Objects in the Administration Station on Page 22).
• Create a New Query and run it
C•CURE 9000 Getting Started Guide Chapter 2 31
EFTA01225798
Pat
These options are shown (left to right) in Figure 14 on Page 32.
Existing Queries
Existing Queries, both pre-defined and user-created, allow you to use the pre-configured search criteria "as is" or
modify them to search for objects in C•CURE 9000 databases. You can use the existing Queries as needed.
Instant Queries
Instant Query allows you to select one of the Query subtypes from the drop-down list, and on the next screen, create
your own temporary Query. Then click Run to execute the Query. The results from both existing and Instant Queries
display in the Dynamic View.
Instant Queries cannot be saved; however, if you click the Recall Query icon ai on the Dynamic View screen you
can then modify the content of the Instant Query used to create the view. For more information, see Recall Query on
Page 24.
For more information on Queries, see Finding Objects in the Administration Station on Page 22 or C•CURE 9000
online help.
New Query
Click New Query to open the Query editor and define a new Query. You can save the Query you create, and it will
be available in the list of saved Queries.

Running a query (existing query or instant query) is the first step of filtering your data. Once. the dynamic view is
created (with the data selected by the query) you can continue organizing your search results to suit your
requirements by using the filtering feature in the Dynamic view. The filter can be enabled or disabled. Even when
disabled, the Dynamic view let you sort records in ascending or descending order by one of the displayed fields.
Context Menus
C•CURE 9000 provides context menus that allow you to operate on any data object in C•CURE 9000. To display a
context menu, in the dynamic view that lists the object, right-click the object listing. Figure 15 on Page 33 shows a
typical context menu; in this case, presenting options for a selected personnel record.

In most cases, the context menu allows you to delete or edit the object. Some menus provide additional options. The
options available to you depend on your active privileges. Depending on the menu and your active access privileges,
you might be able to modify the access that other users have to the object. Privileges are usually set by the system
administrator.
Status Screens
Some operations in C•CURE 9000 provide a status screen. The screen informs you of the progress or success of the
operation. Depending on the operation, status screens provide you with various options. Typically, a status screen
lets you print or mail the result. In some cases, the screen indicates if errors occurred during the process and
provides the location of the error logs. Figure 16 on Page 33 illustrates a typical status screen.

Templates for Security Objects
C•CURE 9000 allows you to modify the default editor -provided settings for a data object and save it as a unique
template. The template retains your custom settings. You can use the template to create additional objects in the
system. You can create multiple templates for the same object type. Using templates can save time when configuring
multiple instances of the same object type —for example, a personnel record, a door, or a controller.
See Creating an Object Template on Page 54 for an example of creating a Template for an object.
C•CURE 9000 Getting Started Guide Chapter 2 33
EFTA01225800
Partitions
Editors
For each object listed in a dynamic view, you can open an editor to view and modify object characteristics. An editor
appears as a multi-tabbed interface that allows you to create, modify, and save objects in the application. You can
also use editors to create templates. Object templates let you create multiple objects that share similar characteristics.
Figure 17 on Page 34 illustrates a typical C•CURE 9000 editor.
Figure 17: TypicalC•CURE 9000 Editor
Isom lam.
..... _
U •••••
Editors provide a field for a name and a description. You assign each object a name that is unique within C•CURE
9000. The description field allows you to communicate information about the object to other users of the system.
Dynamic Views
Dynamic Views present a list of C•CURE 9000 objects in a single screen that lets you monitor, modify, or delete any
object in the view. Your changes are saved directly to the C•CURE 9000 database.
Figure 18 on Page 35 shows a typical dynamic view.

In any dynamic view, the Date/Times fields are displayed in the client's local time, and you can group, sort, and
filter the information to organize and arrange it as needed. You can move, display, or hide fields at will. As your
requirements change, you can change the dynamic view.
Each object type provides a default dynamic view. You can create multiple, customized dynamic views for every
type of data object in C•CURE 9000 and then set one of your custom views as the default view for that object type.
You can open multiple dynamic views in a single window. Each viewer appears as a tab at the top of the window.
Each tab displays the name of the object type and an icon reserved for the object type. You can display the dynamic
views for specific objects of the same type in separate tabs in the same window. You can print from a dynamic view
at any time.

Also use this pane to create digital certificates required to allow encrypted communication between device controllers
and the C•CURE 9000 host computer. Access thee functions from the drop-down menu in the Navigation toolbar.
Hardware Objects Organized by Class
Classes of hardware objects, such as iSTAR clusters, apC Comm Ports, and SC controllers, are parent objects. They
are created within the facility folder in the hardware tree and must be created before the child objects in their
respective class, such as inputs, outputs, readers, boards, elevators, and doors. With iSTAR objects, the iSTAR cluster
must be created first before adding one or more child iSTAR controller object(s). Within the cluster, you may
configure a controller to be the primary path of communication with the host computer and configure another
controller as secondary. Door objects are created last because configuring them correctly depends on having other
child objects already configured, such as the controller, relays, inputs, and readers.
Some examples of the parent-child hierarchy would be:
■ iSTAR Ouster > iSTAR Controller > Inputs, Outputs, Readers > Doors

Partitioning allows C•CURE 9000 to support customer models such as multi-tenant facilitiesand multi-bulding campuses.
An C•CURE 9000 security objects can be partitioned, except for Time Zones, Logical Elevator Floors (the Inputs/Outputscontrolling
the elevator buttons can be partitioned: hence, access to physical elevator floors can be managed through Partitions), Digital
Certificates, System Variables, Badwp and Restore, Log Format Objects, CCTV Protocols, Event Viewer, and other objects
dragged on top of the Application Layout.
An operator's privilege tea partition may be "Full Access,' "Read Only," or "No Access." In a partitioned system, there is a System
Administrator, who has the "System AP privilege—al privileges in alpartitions, and a Partition Administrator, who has alprivileges
in that partition and a privilege giving access to common system objects, such as dynamic view and queries, necessary for getting
started.
The installed C•CURE 9000 system is non-partitioned and set up with a Default partition that contains basic system objects. The
system is considered partitioned once any additional partitions are created.
Predefined Predefined Log Message alows you to aeate log messages and assign them to events. You can group multiple log messages and
Log then assign them to a specific events.
Message
Privilege A privilege is a collection of rights that control the use of access control objects such as readers, doors, inputs, outputs, and
schedules. These individual rights are caged Permissions. Each access control object has a number of Permissions associated with
it, such as No Access, Read, Edit, View, Delete, and New. A privilege must be associated with a schedule.
Recurring Lets you create a Recurring Schedule object, which is a Schedule type for configuring sctedules that recur hourly, defy, weekly,
Schedule monthly, and yearly. These Schedules are used primary for Guard Tours, but they also can be used for host Events
Schedule Schedule objects are used todefine time sdiedules that can be used throughout the system to controlaccess to doors, schedule
reports and system tasks, and trigger events. Each schedule is oomposed of one or more Day Time Intervals.
Schedule Lets you display a DynamicView that lists the Schedules (and Holidays) in the C•CURE 9000 database, and whether that

the following tasks on C•CURE 9000 objects in each of the panes.
■ Creating an Object on Page 54
■ Creating an Object Template on Page 54
■ Creating an Object from a Template on Page 55
■ Editing an Object on Page 56

Creating an Object
You can create an object from the Personnel pane using the Personnel pane drop-down list and the new button for
the object type.
To Create an Object from the Personnel Pane
1. In the Navigation Pane of the Administration Workstation, click Personnel to open the Personnel pane.
2. Select the object type you want to create (for example, Personnel) from the drop-down list in the Personnel Pane.
3. Click New to create a new object of the type you selected. The object type's editor opens, and you can configure
the object.
4. To save your new object, click Save and Close.
- Or -
Alternatively, if you want to save the object and then create a new one, click Save and New. The current object is
saved and closed, but the object editor remains open to allow you to create a new object.
On the Personnel Editor, you can click Save if you want to save the Personnel record and continue
NOTE
editing it without closing the editor.
Creating an Object Template
You can create a object template for most object types. You can use the template as the basis of new object records by
saving the settings you want your objects to have in common. In a template, you can fill in field values with the
same values for all records, and then use the template when you are creating new records. (This is subject to the
settings that C•CURE 9000 allows you to save in a template for that object type.)
54 Chapter 2 C•CURE 9000 Getting Started Guide
EFTA01225821
BaskObjectTasics
Example:
You could create a template for all personnel with a Personnel Type of Employee, with the same set of
Clearances. Whenever you are creating a new Employee Personnel record, you can save time by creating the new
record from the template instead of the default blank form.
To Create a Object Template
1. In the Navigation Pane of the Administration Workstation, click Personnel to open the Personnel pane.
2. Select the object type you want to create (for example, Personnel) from the drop-down list in the Personnel Pane.

editor opens, and you can configure the object.
4. Any fields that you configure values for become part of the template (subject to the settings that C•CURE 9000
allows you to save in a template for that object type). When you subsequently create a new object of this type
from that template, these field values are already filled in.
5. To save your new object template, click Save and Close.
On the Personnel Editor, you can click Save if you want to save the Personnel template and continue
NOTE
editing it without closing the editor.
Creating an Object from a Template

Monitoring Station
Monitoring Station
The C•CURE 9000 Monitoring Station application lets you track events, activities, access and device status, along
with ongoing security access. The Monitoring Station also allows you to perform manual actions such as locking or
unlocking doors, arming or disarming inputs and outputs, and, depending on your operator privileges, performing
downloads to controllers. For more information, see the C•CURE 9000 Monitoring Station Guide.
The appearance and content of the Monitoring Station user interface is defined by an application layout. Application
layouts are configured in the C•CURE 9000 Administration Station and arrange multiple viewers on a single screen
to simultaneously monitor multiple elements of your security system. Software House provides several types of
viewers. Each viewer monitors a specific element of your system. Determining which viewers to incorporate into the
application layout is based on your security priorities and determines what Monitoring Station operators can
observe.
The site administrator creates application layouts that contain the specific monitoring viewers and status
information required to monitor your site. For more information about creating application layouts in the
Administration Station, see Data Views Pane on Page 42.
Accessing the Monitoring Station
You access the Monitoring Station from a C•CURE 9000 client. To access the Monitoring Station on the client, the
C•CURE 9000 server must be running, the C•CURE 9000 client must be connected to the server, and the
C•CURE 9000 drivers must be running. The server must also have a valid C•CURE 9000 license. For details about
validating and monitoring your license, see the Licensing chapter of the C•CURE 9000 Installation and Upgrade Guide
or the C•CURE 9000 online help.
When you log in to the Monitoring Station, you do so in the context of a specific C•CURE 9000 operator. C•CURE
9000 supports single sign-on and uses your Windows login to authenticate you in C•CURE 9000. Your ability to
access the Monitoring Station depends on the access privileges assigned by the system administrator to your user
identity. In C•CURE 9000, privileges can be set at the object level.
The configuration of the operator identity you use to open the Monitoring Station specifies a particular application
layout. When the Monitoring Station opens, it displays the default interface configured for the operator mapped to
your Windows login.
The C•CURE 9000 installer creates a desktop icon that you can use to open the Monitoring Station. You can also use
the Windows Start menu.
To Open the C•CURE 9000 Monitoring Station
To open the Monitoring Station, do either of the following:
■ On the Windows desktop, double-click the Monitoring Station icon:
■ From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs (with the classic Start menu, Programs), Software House,
C•CURE 9000, and then click Monitoring Station.
Figure 38 on Page 72 shows the menu path.

Monitoring and Maintaining C•CURE 9000
After configuring C•CURE 9000, system operators can use the system to monitor and manage the security of your
site. System administrators can use various functions available in C•CURE 9000 to adapt the system to meet new
requirements as they arise.
Table 19 on Page 73 lists typical tasks performed to monitor and maintain C•CURE 9000 and documentation that
provides relevant guidance.

Monitoring Station Viewers
The Monitoring Station user interface is based on an arrangement of up to six panes, each of which can contain
multiple viewers. The Monitoring Station can also include viewers displayed in floating windows.
Table 20 on Page 73 lists the types of viewers available in the Monitoring Station.
Table 20: Viewers in the C•CURE 9000 Monitoring Station

Activity The Activity Viewer tracksal system activities, such as user log on, personnel accesses, securiry object state changes, device errors.
and messages.
Event The Event Viewer tracks and displays all events asa list. You can dick on an event in the list to review the event and respond to it. For
example, you can acknowledge the event.
Object An Object Viewer displaysa specific C•CURE 9000 object that was selected when the application layout was designed. The Object is
displayed in the Viewer for its object type. For example, a Map is displayed in the Map Viewer. One of the main uses for the Object
Viewer is to display Video Camera Views and Tours.

The information and functions available in the Monitoring Station are highly dependent on how you want to secure
and monitor your site and present information to the system operators. For a detailed description of the Monitoring
Station and how to adapt it to your specific requirements, see the C•CURE 9000 Monitoring Station Guide.
External Applications
The Monitoring Station can be configured to allow a system operator to open an external application. External
applications are defined as applications not provided with C•CURE 9000.
Example:
You could configure the Monitoring Station to allow operators to open an e-mail application, Web browser, or a
text editor.
External applications are configured for the Explorer Bar when the system administrator configures the application
layout in the C•CURE 9000 Administration Station. The Monitoring Station operator can then launch these
applications as needed to perform tasks related to C•CURE 9000 or to supplement its functions.
Manual Actions
In the Monitoring Station, operators can perform manual actions on a variety of system objects. When an operator
performs a manual action, a new entry appears in the Activity Viewer to log the occurrence of the manual action.
