9.0 Security
Since WaveNet gathers and records critical data, it has to be reliably protected
against unauthorized access. This places the highest demands on the system with
regard to information and manipulation security.
9.1
Secure communication between the WaveNet network nodes
The radio communication across the WaveNet wireless network is protected against
tapping and data-monitoring by means of advanced cryptography.
9.2
Automatic testing of individual system components
Some facilities require that alarms generated from a break-in attempt or other alarm
condition be reported in real-time to the host computer. The WaveNet wireless
network brings this capability to the SimonsVoss system.
Important:
if a door is to be fitted with a break-in alarm function, then it must be
equipped with at least one door contact which can recognize if the door is open or
closed.
All of the Lock Nodes can report to the controlling computer at configurable intervals
of time. These intervals may be variable during particular periods; for example, critical
doors may need to be monitored more frequently at night.
9.3 Alarms
Alarms are messages which require an immediate response (i.e. break-in or fire). If
the same type of alarm is sent repeatedly, it is only reported once in order to retain a
better overview and not to burden the central alarm office unnecessarily.
10.0 Battery warning
If the voltage of the battery used to supply the Lock Node drops below a certain level,
this can cause communication problems between the Lock Node and its associated
RF Lock, and also between the Lock Node and a Central or Router Node.
If this type of fault occurs, then the ‘N’ behind the affected lock in the host software
display is shown in red (communication fault). If after repeated synchronization
attempts the red N does not disappear, then you should check whether the battery
requires replacement.
9.1.
Changing the Lock Node batteries
To change the batteries of a Lock Node, remove the node from its place of installation
and remove the cover on the back by removing the two Philips-head screws.
The position of each battery is clearly marked in the battery compartment. You should
only use batteries approved by SimonsVoss.
