A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server provides
configuration parameters necessary for a unit to automatically connect to an IP
network. DHCP automatically supplies the unit with an IP address, the
network mask, a gateway IP address, and a DNS server IP address.
The main role that identifies your system. It manages all entity configurations
and system wide settings in Security Center. Only a single instance of this role
is permitted on your system. The server hosting the Directory role is called the
main server. All other servers in Security Center must connect to the main
server and are called expansion servers.
See also server and main server, and expansion server.
The role that manages the Directory failover and load balancing in order to
produce the high availability characteristics in Security Center.
See also high availability and Directory server.
Any one of the multiple servers simultaneously running the Directory role in a
high availability configuration.
See also server , Directory, and high availability.
Port used by certain Security Center roles (Access Manager, Archiver, LPR
Manager) to find the units they are responsible for on the LAN. No two
discovery ports can be the same on one system.
See also automatic discovery.
Type of parking regulation characterizing an overtime rule. A district is a
geographical area within a city. A vehicle is in violation if it is seen within the
boundaries of the district over a specified period of time.
Type of entity that represents a physical barrier. Often, this is an actual door
but it could also be a gate, a turnstile, or any other controllable barrier. Each
door has two sides named by default “A” and “B”. Each side is an access point
(entrance or exit) to a secured area.
Type of Security Desk task that investigates door related activities (access
denied, door forced open, door open too long, hardware tamper, and so on).
A door contact monitors the state of a door, whether it is open or closed. It can
also be used to detect improper state (door open too long).
See access control unit.
