Introduction to SP Editions
Welcome

Getting Started
Welcome to Secure Perfect!
Secure Perfect Editions is a multi-edition offering of Integrated Secure Management Software designed
on Microsoft Windows technology. Secure Perfect Editions provide full security management functions
including access control, intrusion zone control, alarm monitoring, reporting, photo ID badging, and CCTV
interfaces as standard features. Secure Perfect Editions also offers integrated system options that
include digital video surveillance and Web-based reporting.
Throughout this Help system, reference to Secure Perfect is represented as "SP" in text content to
avoid repetition where the product name and/or version may have already been established.
SP Global Edition: SQL Server 2000 Replication services are used to distribute the data from a Global
Server to Regional Servers. Secure Perfect installation creates the necessary components for a
replicated system, configuring publications and subscriptions at each level. The Global Database Server
is the ‘main’ Secure Perfect database server. The term ‘main’ as used in this context means that the
Global Database Server acts as a hub for all replication activity. This Global Server hosts a Distributor
whose role is to store history and miscellaneous information about merge replication. When the
Distributor is created on a database, it generates its own database to store information. Once publishing
is enabled on the Global Server, it is able to control and monitor publications and subscriptions as well as
the starting and stopping of replication agents. Regional Database Servers act as ‘client’ database
servers. They have the ability to subscribe to publications located on the Global Server. These Regional
Servers operate independent of the Global Server for a period of time as necessary. Subscriptions are
‘pushed’ to each Regional Server by the Global Server. This means that the Regional Servers are not
required to request updated data from the Global Server, because updates are periodically supplied to
Regional Servers according to a set schedule. Replication intervals are configurable through SQL Server
Enterprise Manager user interface. Data is continually synchronized by implementing this customized
replication configuration. Refer to the Secure Perfect Installation Guide for a terminology list and
complete description of this feature. Also refer to Global Edition Regional Configuration Rules and
Replication and Synchronization Conflicts in this Help file.
SP Enterprise Edition is licensed for Windows 2000/2003 Standard Edition Server as the operating
system and SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition as the database. SP Enterprise Edition is designed for
mid to large-sized systems with capacity requirements of up to 25 client workstations, 256 micros, and
4,096 readers.
Cluster technology selections in this Enterprise-level installation provide new architecting options.
SP Professional Edition is licensed for Windows 2000 Professional Server or XP Professional Server as
the operating system and SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) as the database. SP Professional
Edition is designed for small to mid-sized systems with capacity requirements of up to 5 client
workstations, 32 micros, and 256 readers.
eZ Edition is licensed for Windows 2000 Professional Server or XP Professional Server as the operating
system and SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) as the database. eZ Edition is designed for small
systems with capacity requirements of 5 client workstations, 32 micros (PX-2000 Series ONLY), and 128
readers.
This Help system provides information for system administrators to configure and operate the SP Editions
software.

What's New?
What’s New in Secure Perfect
New in 6.1.1 ONLY:
Configure APB Status by Region: This feature allows you to configure APB readers across Regions or
within a specific Region only. If configured across Regions, entering a Region activates the badge only in
that region and disables the badge in all other Regions.
Micro Connection Type Network + Direct Communication: This is a new network configuration option
selectable on the Micro Form, Micro Definition tab. This selection allows a micro that loses network
connection to fail over to a serial connection. On the Micro Utility Form, a network micro normally displays
an IP address in the Comm device column. When a network micro loses connection, the Alarm Monitor
Form displays a Host Comm alarm. After approximately two minutes, the alarm resets and the serial
connection begins communications. The Micro Utility Form Comm device column now displays the
Comm port.
Micro Connection Type Network + Network: This is a new network configuration option selectable on
the Micro Form, Micro Definition tab. This selection allows a micro that loses network connection to fail
over to a secondary network connection. When a network micro loses connection, Alarm Monitor Form
displays a Host Comm alarm. After approximately two minutes, the alarm resets and network
communications begin. The Micro Utility Form Comm device column now displays the backup IP address
or network name, as assigned on the Micro Form, Port Settings tab.
Alarm Graphics Viewer Window is a Separate Application: The window launches independently from
the Secure Perfect application and can be moved outside of the Secure Perfect window area. This is
useful for dual-display monitors or wide monitor display.
Suspend Badge After Invalid PIN Attempts: This option is configured on the Reader tab of the Reader
Form. Select Max Invalid PIN Count and enter a number between 1 and 6 as the number of times an
invalid PIN can be entered at a reader before the badge is suspended. If the badge is suspended, the
badge must be reset to Active by a system administrator.
DVR Search - Play Single Recorded Frame: The Search Results windowpane in DVR Search returns a
list of recorded video event tags based on the search parameter criteria specified. Select an event tag
from the list and right-click to display a shortcut menu. The shortcut menu has been expanded to include
Play Single Recorded Frame. When selected, a single image displays in the video window. This is the
first frame of the event recording displayed as a still photo. To play the rest of the video clip, unpause the
video on the DVR Viewer.
Two New Micro Types: MicroPXNPlus or MicroPXNPlus 2000 are selectable on the Micro Form, Micro
Definition tab. A board provides direct, dial-up, and network capabilities in one board. The network
supports Ethernet only. The board also has an integrated modem option which means that the modem is
a chip that can be ordered with the board or added at a later date. This modem can also be used as dial-
up fallback to a network board. Both boards support the following reader boards, 2RP, 2SRP, 8RP, and
CK8RP. The boards provide nonvolatile storage that provides faster reset recovery and allows hostless
operation. A new Web Integrated Configuration Tool was created for flashing these micro types,
eliminating the need to install Flashtool on each computer in order to download and flash the micros.
Database Connection: This feature is configured on the Parameter Form, Settings tab. This feature
allows you to configure the amount of time that elapes before your Secure Perfect system retries the
connection and considers that the database is not accessable.
• Timeout (sec): The default is 30 seconds. The minimum is 3 seconds; the maximum is 120 seconds.
1) In a Secure Perfect Global Edition configuration, this is the amount of time until a Regional failover
begins. 2) In a typical Secure Perfect configuration, this is the amount of time before Secure Perfect
transactions are saved, Secure Perfect services shut down, and a message advises you to repair your
database.
• Retry: The default is 3 retries. The minimum is ‘0’; the maximum is 5 retries.

Secure Perfect 6.1.1 User Manual 15
Enable ‘Valid No Passage’: This option is configured on the Reader Form, Reader tab. Select this
checkbox if you want your Secure Perfect system to notify you when a valid badge read occurs but the
door did not open within the configured sense time. This may be an indication of a duress situation,
someone deciding not to pass through the door, or an accidental read as someone passes a reader.
• This feature must be associated with an alarm type of door forced or door held in order to be notified
of a change in state of the door.
• In order to notify of a duress situation, Grant Access on Duress must be configured.
New in 6.1:
Guard Tour:
This feature makes use of two new forms in Secure Perfect, Guard Tours and Tour Point. A Guard Tour
is an inspection of your facility premises, by a security guard. The officer stops at pre-determined tour
points along the way, where a digital input (DI) is triggered or a badge is presented to a reader so that the
Secure Perfect system can track the tour progress. Each time a badge is presented to a reader, a tour
point is ‘hit.’ DIs can also be assigned as tour points. An additional tab has been added to the Manual
Control form. The Guard Tour tab of the Manual Control form displays the status of Guard Tours
configured in your Secure Perfect system. Select a Guard Tour to display tour details and tour points. An
occasion may arise that requires a tour to be started, paused, resumed, or stopped manually. This
feature and related forms are not available for input if you are not licensed for Guard Tour.
Global Edition Enhancements:
• Database Server and Fileserver Redundancy: Global Editions systems can be configured for
database redundancy, at the Region level. A Regional Database Server can be configured to have
backup servers. Refer to the Backup Regions tab of the Region Form. If a client is not able to connect
to its Regional Database Server for any reason, it fails over to the backup Regional Server.
Regional database redundancy and fileserver redundancy operate independently. One or the other, or
both can fail at the same time, whether they reside on the same server computer or are configured to
reside on separate computers.
• Client Region Failover: If you have Region backups configured, all clients in that region, by default,
will fail over to the backup Region when the system detects that it cannot access the database. You
might choose to clear this checkbox on the Client tab of the Client form, to prevent nonessential client
failover and keep extra traffic on your system network to a minimum.
Alarms:
• Alarm Bumping and Routing: The Client Group Form allow you to assign Secure Perfect computers
into logical Client Groups. Then, Alarms can be routed to these Client Groups by time schedule or at
all times. Additionally, alarms can be ‘bumped’ (forwarded) to one or more additional Client Groups
when alarms are unacknowledged and unpurged within configured time limits.
• Alarm Graphics Enhancements: Alarm Graphics can now be configured for digital inputs and digital
outputs. The Alarm Graphics Viewer displays active status. Right-click menu options display newly
enhanced functionality. Operators for the Alarm Graphics Viewer must be assigned ‘Update’ and
facility permissions in order to select right-click menu options. For shortcut menu functionality, rest
your mouse pointer on an assigned point and right-click. The shortcut menu that displays with a right-
click mouse button depends on the Point Type assigned to the point. The options allow manual control
of doors.
• Duress: This selection determines whether the door will open when a duress PIN code (with the final
digit incremented by + 1) is entered with a valid badge. This feature is configured for your Secure
Perfect system on the Parameters Form, Settings Tab.
Event Trigger Updates:
Assigning Intrusion Zones to an Event Trigger: The Intrusion Zone tab on the Event Trigger form
allows you to assign Intrusion Zones and Intrusion Zone transaction type(s) that will trigger an event.
Extended Unlock Time Options:
Extended unlock time is enabled on the Personnel Tab of the Person Form. When this option is selected,
enabled badges associated with a Person record allow extra time to gain access to an entry or exit point.
Extended times (in minutes and seconds) are configured and assigned on the Door Functions tab of the
Reader Form. For example, if a door is used by disabled persons or the reader is mounted at a distance
from the door, a longer unlock time may be required to exit or enter.

Secure Perfect 6.1.1 User Manual 16
Real-Time Digital Output Status:
Digital output status is reflected in real-time updates on the Alarm Graphics Viewer if this option is
selected on the Micro Definition tab of the Micro Form.
UL Certification:
Secure Perfect is a UL-listed Grade A system (UL 1076 Grade A Proprietary Burglary Requirements/UL
294 Access Control Requirements). Your installation must adhere to the requirements listed in the
Certification section of the Secure Perfect Installation Manual, in order to qualify as UL-listed Grade A
certified.
Badging:
• Designer Upgrade: The integrated Badge Designer program is an upgraded version with many new
features. On the Secure Perfect Badge Design Form, click Edit Badge Design to display a new
windowpane. This is a separate program with its own toolbar. If you had a previous version of badge
designer that created files with a .gdr extension, you will be prompted to save the file as a .dgn when
you edit a badge design for the first time. Access the extensive Online Help system from the Badge
Designer toolbar. Additionally, refer to the Badge Designer User Manual, and review the "What’s New"
section. A PDF of the manual is provided on your documentation CD.
• Badge Format: This option on the Administration menu allows an operator to design, import, or export
custom badge formats for your Secure Perfect system. Custom magnetic stripe or Wiegand formats
can be loaded and stored in the Secure Perfect database. After identifying the required custom format,
the format is flashed to the micro. A new tab on the Micro Flash and Micro Parameter Configuration
window allows you to configure custom badge formats.
Auto Shutdown of Secure Perfect Services:
This is a default option on the Client tab of the Client form. If selected, Secure Perfect Services will
automatically shut down when the client application is closed. A list of prerequisite criteria must be met.
Manual Control Form:
• Shortcut from Client Monitor Form to Manual Control Form: This feature allows the current operator to
quickly locate a client, right-click and select the Manual Control form, and manually perform operations
of the Secure Perfect system.
• Mode Tab on the Manual Control Form: This feature allows the operator to select all or individual
micros or clients for immediate change of mode from the Manual Control Form, on the new Mode Tab.
The micro’s current real-time mode and address are also displayed.
Report Generation Upgrades:
• Guard Tour History Report: This option on the Administration menu allows you to generate a report of
completed Guard Tours, displaying tour activities such as start points, hits, invalid points, pauses,
resumes, tour end points, tour time exceeded, manual start, and manual stops.
• Administration Report: The list of report types has been expanded to include details of Alarm Routing
and Bumping configurations and Badge Format (UBF) custom badge configurations.
