CENTINELACCESS PLUGINS INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Here is installation steps for XProtect CentinelAccess plugins and gateway service:

Before running the setup program, ensure the Milestone XProtect Corporate suite is installed and

stop all Milestone Servers as shown below:

ILLUSTRATION 1.0

Then, go to the delivery folder and launch the file \TTSCentinelAccessMSPPlugin\Setup.exe (right

click on ‘run as administrator’ or ‘Shift+Ctrl+Enter’). Execution as local administrator is mandatory to

carry out the installation.

Step 1

The first dialog indicates that the installer program is inspecting and preparing the installation:

ILLUSTRATION 1.1




Step 2

After few seconds, the following dialog appears, setup is ready to start, click on ‘Next’ button:

ILLUSTRATION 1.2

Step 3

The license agreement dialog appears, agree and click next.




ILLUSTRATION 1.3

Step 4

Put here the installation folder you want. Default is [c:\Program Files\Milestone\MIPPlugins].

Select everyone for user scope then click next.

ILLUSTRATION 1.4

Step 5

Now installation process is ready to start, by clicking next:

ILLUSTRATION 1.5




The following progress dialog appears:

ILLUSTRATION 1.6

Then, successful installation dialog is prompted:

ILLUSTRATION 1.7

Once Plugins Setup completed successfully, the two plugins folders

(TTSCentinel.AccessControl.Events and TTSCentinel.AccessControl.Alarms) have been

created in the target install directory, and the windows service ‘Milestone Centinel Access Plugin

Gateway ’ is installed in the system with a default image path :




[C:\Program Files\Trafic Transport Surete\TTSCentinel.AC.Milestone.Plugin.Svc]

ILLUSTRATION 1.8

Service dependencies

The ‘Milestone XProtect Event Server’ service depends on the ‘Milestone Centinel Access Plugin

Gateway’ Service, consequently the two services cannot start separately.

CONFIGURING CENTINELACCESS MSP PLUGINS

Before starting the MSP environment, you do configure the Centinelaccess plugin gateway service by

editing the file TTSCentinel.AC.Plugins.Win.Svc.exe.config located in the image path of

‘Milestone Centinel Access Plugin Gateway’ service.

Plugin gateway service application settings

All service parameters are set in TTSCentinel.AC.Plugins.Win.Svc.exe.config file. Only the

<appSettings> tag must be adjusted according to target environment settings. Relevant parameters

are explained below:

CentinelServerIpAddress = (Remote or local) IP address of the CentinelAccess server in use.

CentinelServerPortNumber = Port number of the CentinelAccess server.

LocalServiceAddress, LocalEventsAddress = Binding address of web service interfaces (Service

and Events) – Do not change for a default local configuration. Adjust it if the web service is remotely

hosted or port conflict exist in local environment (therefore this addresses must be unique for each

plugins to avoid conflicts).

ThreadNumberForListener = Set the number of listener threads for message reception from

CentinelAccess.




STARTING CENTINELACCESS MSP ENVIRONMENT SERVICES

Once the plugin installation succeeded and is correctly configured, MSP environment is ready to

start, you do it by restarting (manually) all milestone services.

NOTE! Due to service dependencies, starting the ‘Milestone XProtect Event Server’ service will

cause the start of ‘Milestone Centinel Access Plugin Gateway’ service and this is the normal way to

make a synchronous start in order the two services bind correctly.

Important! The ‘log on’ property of these two services must be set to Administrator local account.

The Milestone service list (five services) must appear (started) like follows:

ILLUSTRATION 2.0

INTEGRATING CENTINELACCESS ACM INTO XPROTECT

This section deals with the Centinel access control module integration on XProtect Management

Client. All integrating steps will be detailed.

Creating Centinel ACM with XProtect Management Client

After launching XProtect Management Client with an operational AC MSP environment, click on

‘Access Control’ icon tree (pane ‘Site Navigation’) will show the following native layout:

ILLUSTRATION 3.0




Step 1

To create a new AC module, right click on Access Control icon located within the pane of the same

name, and select Create new… on context menu as focused bellow:

ILLUSTRATION 3.1

Step 2

The first AC creation dialog appears where the AC module name is to be set (with custom site naming

rule) in the ‘Name’ input field. Integration plugin model is given in the ‘Integration plug-in’ list box.

Select ‘TTSCentinel’:

ILLUSTRATION 3.2

Then, others edit boxes appears as follows:




ILLUSTRATION 3.3

The three first edit box labelled ‘Centinel service address’, ‘Centinel event address’, and ‘Local

Client Event Address’ must keep unchanged in a single local system configuration context (in

multiple remote CentinelAccess server context, it will be necessary to adjust binding addresses).

Set your path preference in the edit box User’s photo folder which contains path of photos linked

with cardholder’s profile [see section [Attaching cardholder’s picture] bellow].

Click Next.




Step 3

XProtect Management Client connect to TTS Centinel AC system and collect configuration data:

ILLUSTRATION 3.4

All configured items from access control system are exposed here. This includes:

Doors: Number of doors with its references.

Units : Control units (formally assimilated as doors)

Servers : List of servers by HTTP address, for Centinel Access module usually the fixed value is

the follow one :

This is a typical address of the Centinel web service interface which is linked with Centinel

Access server.




Events: Numbers of events pre-configured enumerated bellow :

Commands: List of available commands.

States : All AC states.

Click Next to add the collected AC configuration and reach the next step.




Step 4

Here, we get the Associated cameras dialog that list the doors (left pane) and active available

cameras. Dragging a specific camera to a single door will associate them.

ILLUSTRATION 3.3

The check box field of Enabled column must be checked in order to activate the association

Door/Camera.

Step 5

ILLUSTRATION 3.4




Finally the program prompt you the successful XProtect AC integration.

You can check your new TTSCentinel AC module as a node under the hierarchical tree of ‘Access

Control’ pane (as well as connection status in ‘Access control Information’ pane) as depicted

bellow:

ILLUSTRATION 3.5

Setting up Centinel ACM with XProtect Management Client

Once the Centinel ACM module is well integrated, you can start setting access control items.

Associated Cameras tab

Same as during the creation stage, you can tune again the cameras/access point association.

In the ‘Access Control Information’ pane of node ‘Access control’, clicking in the

‘Associated Cameras’ down tab, it provides ways to link cameras with doors and enable

them according to the license pool and validity, as shown below :

ILLUSTRATION 4.0




Up to 15 milestone devices can be attached.

Access Control Events tab

All available outgoing access events are configurable in the ‘Access Control Event’ tab. User

can select/unselect it (to compose monitoring with smart client) and categorize it for alarm

definitions.

ILLUSTRATION 4.1

Event categories are listed in the ‘Event Category’ column, each fields expands list box

allowing user to cumulate categories as it needs for the milestone alarm configuration.

ILLUSTRATION 4.2

During the alarm definition in Management Client, in the Trigger group, user can specify for

the alarm triggering event one of this access control event category (as shown below).




Thereby, grouping Event Categories for a given Access Control Event gives ways to link

different alarms to the same access control event.

ILLUSTRATION 4.3

Furthermore, it is possible to define user event categories by clicking on ‘User-defined

Categories’ button located in bottom left. The following dialog appears where you can

add/remove custom event categories:

ILLUSTRATION 4.4

Access control event categories are also used for filtering AC event monitoring in Smart

Client. This point is browsed in section [History AC event log].




Access Request Notification tab

In this tab, Access Request Notification can be configured as needed. User can define his own

notifications, configure related behaviors by attaching it to given camera, speaker, or sound

alert and set related command on the access unit.

ILLUSTRATION 4.5

Click on ‘Add Access Request Notification’ to manage built-in notifications.




ILLUSTRATION 4.6

The AC attached devices are selected in list boxes. By default, the fixed ‘related camera’

attached to the access point is set, but user can select other view angles selecting other

cameras.

ILLUSTRATION 4.7

For Speaker and Microphone, the blank selection option is available.

ILLUSTRATION 4.8




Sound alert is for selecting type of desired sound windows notification.

ILLUSTRATION 4.9

List of related commands (associated with the current selected access request notification) is

built by clicking on the ‘Add Commands’ button under ‘Commands’ frame.

ILLUSTRATION 4.10

Then, clicking on ‘Select command’ list box line gives the following contextual menu:

ILLUSTRATION 4.11

Selecting ‘Related access request commands’ or ‘All related commands’, the

notification will trigger natively all (or only AC) commands associated with the source event.




Access control command gives the following submenus:

ILLUSTRATION 4.12

Where you can select specific access control commands (Force Unlocked, or Clocking…),

and target them to the ‘[source]’ of the notification or/and to ‘Others’ (selected from the

milestone devices group).

Selecting ‘System command…’ allows to trigger user-defined events (defined in ‘Rules and

Events’ node) using the following dialog:

ILLUSTRATION 4.13




CardHolders tab

In this pane the user can view each cardholders with their badge code, number, and photo

(which are displayed during AC movement notification in Smart Client).

ILLUSTRATION 4.14

One filter box allows quick access to a targeted cardholder:

Attaching cardholder’s picture In order to attach picture of one cardholder to his profile, name the photo Jpeg file with the Badge

number.

Here is the naming rule: BAGDGE_NUMBER.JPG. For the example above the file will be: ‘1431.JPG’.

Put it into the ‘User’s photo folder’ set in Step_2 of this section and restart services.




Synchronizing AC system configuration

If configuration changes occurs inside the Centinel access system (such new or modified units/doors),

milestone operator need to synchronize modifications following these steps:

1. Stop the Milestone Centinel Access Plugin Gateway service (this will stop also Milestone

XProtect Event Server’ service), and restart it.

2. Launch the in Management Client and click on the ‘Refresh Configuration’ button located in

‘General Settings’ pane as follows:

3. The update between systems is performed and the following dialog is displayed, click on

‘Apply’ button:

‘Add new…’ command of ‘Servers’ node context menu is disabled.

‘Update/Delete Alarms Configuration’ button : This button refresh the list of alarms. The list of

alarms is synchronised with the list of instant alarms from the access control system, those new are

added, those not-existant (no more existant) are removed from the list (if the alarm was applied on a

map under Smart Client, this implies a black chip with white cross instead of the old associated

alarm’s icon map).

‘Delete Alarm Configuration’ button : Deletes the list of alarm’s references within Management

Client. To do for resetting alarm configuration inside Management Client.

In the case of unauthorized access request, Smart Client prompt you a notification dialog of the

request including a snap view during the event and all access information. At this time operator can

choose to open the door or close silently the request.




ILLUSTRATION 7.1

Here the cardholder is well known, and he is just inhibited.

In other case, the cardholder could be unknown (unusual case), the operator will close the request or

use other milestone devices to confirm identity of the person (for XProtect advanced user: a

scenario of automated actions against different devices can be configured with alarm definition

rules).




History AC event log

All AC events are traced in the view of ‘Access Control’ menu.

ILLUSTRATION 7.2

An elaborated filter allows user to find back correlated AC events:

By Events / time - cardholder - doors :

Events categories:




Or doors:

By Doors / doors - door category - state

Door categories:

And target states:




As a result operator can quickly reach any AC event entry at any time, of any areas and for any

cardholder, and manage intuitively all site access points.
