*************************************************************************************************************************************
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
D. PC based: The system is a PC based Building/Facility Management and Monitoring
System used to control and monitor personnel and alarm activity. The DSX system
provides 5 different controllers that offer various configurations of card reader inputs, relay
outputs and alarm inputs. These controllers can be combined to provide the exact
number of inputs and outputs required for each application. DSX controllers use fully
distributed database architecture with real-time processing performed at each controller.
E. Distributed Processing: This fully distributed processing provides that all information
(time, date, valid codes, access levels, etc) is downloaded to the controllers so that each
controller makes its own access control decisions. There are no hierarchical or
intermediate processors to make decisions for the controllers. Also the PC is not required
to make any decisions for the controllers including any global functions. This provides
Instant response to card reads regardless of system size. This also provides for no
degradation of system performance in the event of communication loss to the host (or
actual loss of host). All time zones, access levels, linking events, holiday schedules, and
global functions remain operational. Upon communication loss to the host all controllers
shall automatically buffer event transactions until the host communications is restored, at
which time the buffered events will be automatically uploaded to the host. The system
maintains full feature capability regardless of the style of the communications from the
PC. This means that DSX dial-up modem sites can utilize all standard features like
elevator control and linking between controllers without the PC needing to be online.
