RAM Config
Displays the size of the RAM on the controller (the size of the RAM directly controls the
number of cards that can be programmed into the controller and the number of events that can
be stored by the controller).
Events
Displays the number of events currently stored in the controller.
Cards In Use
Displays the number of cards programmed into the controller (this field should be blank as the
card programming process is done later in the database programming process).
Date
Displays the date kept by the controller when controller status was requested.
Time
Displays the time kept by the controller when controller status was requested.
The remaining fields in the Controller Status spreadsheet are not valid until the access control
database has been completely configured and downloaded to the controllers. The remaining
fields relate to either the performance of the controller over time or to controller/door
programming information that is done later in the database programming process. At this
time, they all have initial or default values.
Get Status For One Controller
If work has been performed on one controller in the access control network (such as replacing
or resetting the controller, changing the firmware, or changing the controller’s configuration),
that one controller can be polled for its status. Polling one controller saves time by not polling
the status of the other controllers in the access control network.
1. Click on the Setup
⇒
System pull-down menu or click on the button on the tool
bar.
2. Click on the Controller Status tab. The Controller Status window appears (see Figure
20).
3. Scroll up and down the list of controllers and locate a controller for which status is
needed. Click in the Address cell for that controller (see Figure 20).
4. Click on the button. The selected controller is polled for its configuration and
status, and this information is entered into the Controller Status spreadsheet (see Figure
21).
5. Verify the information displayed in the spreadsheet matches the configuration of the
controller. Refer to the above list for explanations of the fields in the spreadsheet that
should be verified at this time.
