The default configuration for the adapter and port settings is a DS9490R USB Adapter. If this is your current hardware configuration, the Auditcon 2 Series Main Menu will be displayed and you should skip to Step 5.
If the USB adapter is not found, the Select Adapter and Port screen is displayed. This screen prompts you to select what type of key reader you have and where it is installed.
1. Select the Adapter Type that you have installed with your system. The default value for the Adapter Type is the DS9490R USB Adapter. 2. To ensure that your selection(s) are correct, we recommend that you “Test” your selection(s) to verify communications. Insert an SA Key into either port of the reader and click on the Test button. If the Test is successful, a message window is displayed indicating the key was found and communication was successful.
If the key reader was not installed or the proper adapter type/port is not selected, the following error message will be displayed and you will not be able to proceed until the problem is corrected.
If the SA key is not in the reader, the following error message will be displayed and you will not be able to proceed until the problem is corrected.
4. Click on OK. If the test was not successful, attempt to correct the problem and “test” again. If the test was successful, all selection boxes will be grayed out. 5. If you have succesfully finished “Testing” and wish to accept the adapter and port settings, click on the OK button to proceed. The Auditcon 2 Series Software Main Menu will be displayed.
Before proceeding with system operation, you must define the system software settings.
6. From the Settings menu, select the System Settings option. The System Settings screen will be displayed.
7. If you wish to use the time window settings last entered when defining time windows for a lock under the Time Window Upload option of the Locks menu, click on the check box to select. When not selected, the time windows dialog is displayed with all fields blank. 8. If you wish to have the European Date format (DD/MM/CCYY) used for reporting options, click on the check box to select this option. The default is to display dates as MM/DD/CCYY. 9. If the locks in your system are set to local time, the GMT Offset should be disabled. Audit Reports will show the actual lock time for each audit record.
If the locks in your system are set to Greenwich Mean Time, the GMT Offset should be enabled. When the GMT Offset is enabled, the software adjusts the time of each record in the Audit Download report to the local time using the GMT offset values specified in this screen.
Use the following chart to determine the appropriate GMT Offset to use for your time zone. You should ensure that this value, along with the internal date and time on your PC, is correct at installation time. Select West if you are located to the west of Greenwich, England, between Greenwich and the international date line. Select East if you are located to the east. For example: The United States is West, Germany is East.
