Components and Communication

Network Requirements

The following ports are required for this integration

Note: These are default ports only (they can be configured and therefore may differ from the values shown below)

From	To	Port	Use
Sureview	AC2000	5432	Access to AC2000 database for device control and alarms

***.Net 4.6.2 framework is required for this integration

Configuration in AC2000

No special set up is required on the AC2000 system but before setting up Sureview make sure you have:

• A valid AC2000 account
• Opened the database port on your AC2000 server

Configuration in Sureview

The following are the steps required to configured this integration in the Sureview interface.

Before you begin

Before you configure Sureview to work with AC2000 make sure you have:

• Sureview i27 or higher.
• Username and password of your AC2000 account
• IP address and port of your AC2000 server
• Name of your AC2000 database

Installation

1. Install .NET 4.6.2 (if required).
2. Install the CEM-AC2000 package on the Sureview server.
3. Install the CEM-AC2000AlarmReceiver package on the Sureview server.
4. Add a device into Sureview.
5. The alarm receiver service will detect this device within 30 seconds and create a connection to it.
6. Device control and alarm receiving functionality is ready to use.

Site Syncing (Feature compatible license required)

Site Syncing will allow Sureview to automatically import readers and alarms from the AC2000 device and add them as devices in Sureview.

Go to Sync  > Sync Systems > Add Sync System

 

Field	Value
Host	The ip address of the server hosting the AC2000 database
Port	5432
Username	AC2000 username
Password	AC2000 password
Settings eg database=cdc	The name of the AC2000 database in the format 'database=cdc'

 

Once the device has been added to Site Syncing you will need to Go to Go to Sync  > Sync Entroes > Add Sync Entry

The Identifier has the format either 'partition=<partition number>' to synchronise a whole partition or 'controller=<controller ID>' to synchronise an individual controller.

The controller ID may be found in the AC2000 client software in the 'Devices' section,  to sync' on the controller shown in the following screen shot the 'Identifier' field would contain 'controller=00'. A single device would be created in Sureview:

When syncing by partition id, one device would be created in Sureview for each controller in the partition. In a non-partitioned system, all controllers can be imported using 'partition=1'.

 

Service Configuration File

The SVCEM-AC2000Receiver (SVCEM-AC2000Receiver.exe.config) service configuration file features options for customizing the service. These options are:

• SyncInterval - The amount of time, in seconds, to wait between checking for updates (add/edit/delete) to AC2000 devices in Sureview.
  
• SQLTimeout - The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for SQL operations to complete.
  
• AcknowledgeAlarms - If received alarms should be acknowledged in the AC2000 system.
  
• CancelAlarms - If received alarms should be canceled in the AC2000 system.
  
• TracePort - Port the service trace listener will use to accept connections.
