Displays the selected secondary port for micro communications.
Click the Secondary Port button to display the Ports list box. Select the secondary port that is
activated if communication is lost on the primary line.
• Uni-directional micros require a primary port assignment (and None specified for the
secondary port).
• Bi-directional micros require both a primary and a secondary port assignment.
• Dial-up micros do not require a port assignment (assign None to both the primary and
secondary port).
The revision of application code that is contained in the micro. This field is read-only.
Optional: Type a facility number (1 to 5 digits long). If the 8RP board loses communication
with the micro’s CPU board, access can still be granted to all badges with a facility code that
matches this field. If this field is left empty, the 8RP grants access to all badges while in this
degraded mode. This applies only for 8RP boards in a Micro/2 or Micro/4.
Optional: Type a shunt code (1 to 10 digits long). With Shunting Enabled on the Area and
Reader forms, this code entered on a keypad allows a badge holder to prop a door open (for
the time specified on the Doors form) without triggering a door-held-open alarm.
Optional: Type an Alarm Response Code (1 to 10 digits long). With Keypad Alarm Response
Enabled on the Doors form, this code entered on a keypad allows an authorized badge
holder to respond to and reset an active alarm. This Alarm Response Code must be different
from the Shunt Code on the Micros form. See Controlling alarms using a keypad code on
page 376.
Type the percentage at which the micro triggers the Badge History Overflow input group to
notify the host that its Badge Transaction table has reached this percentage of capacity.
Type the percentage at which the micro triggers the Alarm History Overflow input group to
notify the host that its Alarm Transaction table has reached this percentage of capacity.
Read only indicator of controller type that is set when the controller establishes
communication with the host.
Read only indicator of new firmware feature capabilities supported by this controller.
Enter the number of times the micro tries to contact its upstream micro before triggering the
Upstream Communications Failure input group (normally set to 3). This input group must be
defined before completing the Micro form. See Creating input groups on page 123.
Enter the number of seconds between each upstream retry (normally set to 2 seconds).
Enter the number of times the micro tries to contact its downstream micro before triggering
the Downstream Communications Failure input group (normally set to 3). This input group
must be defined before completing the Micro form. See Creating input groups on page 123.
Enter the number of seconds between each downstream retry (normally set to 2).
Enter the number of times the host tries to contact this micro before triggering the Upstream
Communications Failure input group (normally set to 3). This input group must be defined
before completing the Micro form. See Creating input groups on page 123.
