System 2000X Application Toolkit
Security electronics systems require the close integration between many subsystems including HMI (Touchscreens), PLC's, Intercom, CCTV, Card Access, Radios and more - all of which may be manufactured by different vendors / suppliers utilizing multiple communication and connection methods. This can lead to difficult and complex configuration, maintenance, troubleshooting and future changes or expansion.
System 2000X was conceived and developed by Status as an integration toolkit package in close cooperation and consultation with many security system specialists and end users as a special needs solution for detention facilities. Common requests and requirements of many facilities across North America were studied and integrated into the package. The system was developed from the ground up with a full menu of features in mind constantly aware of the need for highest performance, system stability, and ease of operation.
Innovative configuration methodology provides the system with many desirable features. The use of a third party platform for point management, device communication, database driver, and graphical interface provides the end user with an open system architecture on a Windows platform. With this structure changes to the system can be undertaken by any trained system administrator. More importantly, custom source code has been replaced instead by specialized configurations menus, screens and an open source database.
Integration with PLC's and other I/O structures, IP based CCTV Systems, CCTV switches, Intercom and paging systems, Personal Alarm Transmitter systems, card readers and more are all supported. Unlimited I/O, and operator interface configurations are possible, including multiple monitors per PC, touch screen interface and redundancy for servers, network, and media.
Special system utilities have been developed to aid system administrators in the routine maintenance tasks, trouble shooting, and as required, in implementing changes, adding computers, stations, monitors, and new or revised points.
In addition to utilities, Status has developed unique control icons, embedded controls and a portfolio of screen concepts that have been implemented on many projects.

1. Alarm Window
1.1 Overview
Alarm Viewer provides the following functionality:
- displays a text based list of alarms
- provides sound annunciation of alarms
- provides alarm comments (operator entered)
- provides alarm instructions (system manager entered)
- automatically "maps" to the screen with the alarm (when the alarm is selected).
Call Queue™
- Provides focused management of doors, gates, sliders and standalone intercoms.
- Integrates the CCTV and intercoms configured for each door / slider.
- Filters calls to accommodate the different modes of operation (shared, split and takeover).
- During Shared mode, one or more control stations may operate any single door / slider at a time.
Request Section
- Calls placed throughout the facility enter the request section and display in chronological order.
- The current mode of operation (share, split, takeover) establishes the filter to allow only interested calls.
- New Calls entering the request section will generate Tone Type A, and will repeat at 10 second intervals until Request Section is empty.
Active Section
General
- The item (call) in the active section is the device for current control.
- CCTV shots configured for the item will display on the station's movement monitors
- When the active section is empty or one or more CCTV shots are not configured, the movement monitor(s) will be blank.
- Intercom connection (if available) will be established when the item moves to the active section and will disconnect when removed.
- The configured controls screen for the item will display on the touchscreen (if not already displayed).
- Any item already in the active section will be moved to the operating section
Operation
- There are four ways to move an item (call / door / intercom) to the active section.
- Press the Next button, which moves the top item from the request section to active.
- Select any item from the request section.
- Touch an individual movement or cell station select icon on a map or linear screen.
- Select any item from the operating section
- Once in the active section the queue controls, (Unlock, Open-Stop-Close, Map, Override, etc are available.)
- Control of Doors / Gates / Sliders Corresponds to Sequence of Operation Segments C-Series, D-Series and E-Series.
- Select one of the queue controls as desired.
- Unlock for a swing door.
- Open-Stop-Close for a slider or gate.
- There are many ways to remove an item (call / door / intercom) from the active section.
- Select Next on the Call Queue™
- If the request section is empty – nothing will enter the active section, but the previous entry will be removed.
- Touch an individual movement or cell station select icon on a map or linear screen.
- Select any item from the request section.
- Select any item from the operating section.
- Select Clear on the Call Queue™
- Note: selecting Clear will remove the item but it will NOT move to the operating section.
- Select a page zone.
Operation Section
- Items in the operating section are unsecured doors / sliders / gates that have recently been "active".
- All items exiting the "active section" must first enter the operating section to allow detection of the unsecured to secure transition.
- If the item is already secure, it will remain only for 3 seconds (configurable).
- If unsecured it will exit when transition to secure
- Exception: Selecting Clear from the Call Queue™ will remove the item, but it will NOT move to the operating section.
- The oldest 4 (&½) doors / gates will display their configured CCTV shots on the station's recall monitor (5).
The recall monitor is a 9 segment display annotated top to bottom left to right 1 through 9- The oldest (top item in the operating section list) will display in segments 1 and 2, the remainder will display in numerical order to 9.
- As items are removed from the operating section, they well also be removed from the recall monitor, and the remainder will shift to fill the void.
- Any item in the recall section can be selected for placement back into the active section.
