Startup Map
There is a new feature that allows Workstation to
display a Map at startup. This can be used where the
Map is to always be displayed such as on large
monitors in a security office.
To configure this feature, close the program on the
PC where it is to be used. Browse to the WinDSX\
RunData\ folder. Locate the WS_Settings.txt file and
open. Scroll to the bottom where you will find the
entries regarding the Startup Map.
Startup Map Name - name of map within software.
Startup Map Is Maximized - full size of map
Startup Map X Position - starting position
Startup Map Y Position - starting position
Startup Map Save Changes - can be set to YES so
that once the program is running and the Map is
displayed you can move it to where you want it to be.
Once closed, it will start back up in that same
position. You can enable Save Changes, start the
program, position the map, close the program, set
the Save Changes back to No and it will always
come up in the place you specified.
Email Notification
Email Groups are groups of people that will be sent
an email or text message due to a Location,
Device, or Input Alarm. Email Groups consist of a
single or multiple Card Holders that each have a
Time Zone assigned in the group. The Time Zone
selected for each Card Holder determines when
that person will receive the email notification for the
alarm to which the Email Group is assigned.
Card Holders that are to receive an Email
Notification must have an Email Address in a UDF
field that is configured as an Email Address. Email
Groups can be assigned to a Location, to each
Device and to each Input as desired. Those that
have an Email Group assigned will send an email
or text message upon alarm. See the Help on Email
Groups and UDFs.
Before Starting:
1. The Comm Server PC needs to have a
Microsoft® Email Client program configured on it
such as Outlook Express™. It must be configured
as the default mail handler on this PC. This is used
to prove that email communications will work and to
test the port settings required.
2. Test to make sure that you can send an email to
yourself. Then try to send an email to one of the
desired target email addresses from this email
client program.
3. Make sure that the Windows User has full control
over the local WinDSX Folder on the Comm Server
PC where the software is installed.
4. You need an Exchange Server or an ISP such as
ComCast or RoadRunner. You can also use free
email such as Gmail or Yahoo as your email server
if you know what ports are required and your
firewall allows access through these ports. Look in
Help for more information on free email servers and
text messages.
5. To setup up the Email client, this PC must have
the .NET Framework 4.0 or higher installed.
OlMail.exe configuration:
6. In the WinDSX folder on the Comm Server PC
there is a file called OlMail.exe. This program has to
be run once and initialized: Double Click on
OlMail.exe.
A.) Enter the Name of the “SMTP Server” to send
the email through.
B.) Enter the “Port Number”. The default is 25. You
may have to get this information from your IT
department or from your email provider.
C.) Enter the “From Email Address” that will be
used on all email's sent. This is the User Name
from the email provider.
D.) Select “Server Requires Authentication” if the
SMTP Server requires a password. Enter the
Password in the "Password" field.
E.) Select "Server Requires Secure Sockets Layer"
if SSL is required.
F.) Select “Log Command Lines” for trouble
shooting purposes only. This will cause OlMail to
create an OlMail.txt file to be written into the
c:\WinDSX\Errors folder on the Comm Server PC.
WinDSX Configuration:
7. Once the above has been configured it is time to
configure the WinDSX Database program.
A.) Define a UDFName and configure it as “Data is
Email Address”.
B.) Edit or Add a cardholder and assign just 1
email address to the UDF field designated as an
Email Address field.
C.) Create an Email Group and assign it to those
Locations, Devices, and Inputs that you want to
initiate an Email Notification.
For more information go to Email Groups in the DSX
software and Press F1. Then select "Click here for
step by step instructions".
