Creating a Zones file in Patroller versions 4.4 and later
From Patroller version 4.4 and on, permits, permit restrictions, and overtime rules are
configured in the Security Center Config Tool. The configuration settings are still saved to
the zones.xml file in the [root:]\AutoVu\Zones folder.
You can import the zones.xml file from AutoVu 4.1 to 4.3 into Security Center by copying
the zones.xml file to the Root folder of the AutoVu LPR Manager. Once the file is copied,
AutoVu LPR Manager automatically creates the corresponding overtime, permit, and
permit restriction entities in Security Center.

Where can I find the configuration file from the earlier version?
When you upgrade Patroller, copies of the configuration files from the earlier version are
copied to a new Patroller root folder, in a folder named OldConfigFiles. You can open these
files in a text editor and refer to them as you update your settings.
EXAMPLE C:\Program Files\Genetec AutoVu\Patroller Applications
5.0\MobileClient\OldConfigFiles
NOTE The configuration files from the earlier versions remain in their original directory.
Are my settings transferred to the latest version?
If the setting is still available in the latest version of Patroller, then the setting will be
transferred during the upgrade process.
IMPORTANT When upgrading Patroller from 5.1 GA to 5.1 SR2, the Mapping type option
is reset to None. After upgrading Patroller, you'll need to reconfigure this option, see "Maps"
on page 219.
