Access Control

Sielox of Thorofare, New Jersey, has upgraded the capabilities of its Pinnacle access control software. Version 5.0 includes an automatic reconnect feature when a network connection has been lost, without the necessity of having the client logged in as an administrator. Additional upgrades include an e-mail report scheduler, alarm notification on start-up, a parity-check configuration option for error detection, and additional content in the “Help/About” screen. The controller now filters card lists during a refresh, enhancing the speed at which new information is sent to the intelligent controller. Support has been added for alarm escalation notification to highlight the most important alarm events
