RC-E User Manual
Management Client (RC-E Manager)
5. Click
OK
. Your selected type of input event will now appear in the
Events
tab's
Configured events
list.
To the right of the list, settings for the selected input event are displayed in a table. The table's first column lists
available settings, the second column lists the value of each setting.
The settings on the
Events
tab is determined entirely by the devices in question, and is thus likely to vary depending
on the input selected.
Content may vary, but you will typically see the following property:
Enabled:
Select between
Tru
e (enabled), or
False
(disabled).
You are typically able to change the values:
1. Select the row with the property you want to change.
2. Click the button to the right of the properties column.
3. Change the value of the property.
4. In the toolbar (see "Management Client Overview" on page 34), click
Save
.
When you have changed a setting to a non-default value, the value will appear in
bold
. When a value must be within
a certain range, for example between 0 and 100, the allowed range will be displayed in the grey information box below
the settings table.
Manage Output
On many devices you are able to attach external units to output ports on the device. This allows you to
activate/deactivate lights, sirens, etc. through RC-E.
Output may be used when creating rules (see "Manage Rules" on page 133). You can create rules that automatically
activate or deactivate outputs, and rules that trigger actions when the state of an output is changed.
Output can also be triggered manually from the Management Client and the
Ocularis Client.
Devices' output ports are automatically detected when you add the devices to RC-E through the Management Client's
Add Hardware
(see "
Add Hardware (Cameras, etc.)
" on page 49) wizard, regardless of which of the wizard's detection
options you use. By default, output are disabled. You can enable output when needed.
You have two entry points for managing outputs:
In the Management Client's Site Navigation pane (see "Panes Overview" on page 36), expand
Devices
, select
Outputs
, expand the required device group, and select the required output. If no device groups are available, you
must first group your output: See About Device Groups (on page 95) for information about creating groups as well
as adding output to your groups.
In the Management Client's Site Navigation pane, expand
Servers
and select
Recording Servers
, then in the
overview pan (see "Panes Overview" on page 36)e expand the required recording server and select the required
output.
Before you specify use of external input and output units on a device, verify that sensor operation is recognized by the
device. Most devices are capable of showing this in their configuration interfaces, or via CGI script commands. Also
check the RC-E release notes to verify that input- and output-controlled operations are supported for the devices and
firmware used.
Enabling Output
When outputs are detected with the
Add Hardware
(see "
Add Hardware (Cameras, etc.)
" on page 49) process, they
are by default disabled. You can activate outputs when needed.
If a device has several outputs you can enable one, some, or all of them as required.
