Executive Brief CCURE 9000 v1.93 is an exciting milestone for our security and

event management platform. The strengths of the CCURE 9000 have always been

its standards-based architecture, industry-leading encryption and data security, and

customizable interface. This version adds key functionality in the management of

areas, and in the ability to customize personnel fields. At the same time, the addition

of basic reporting and other improvements to the CCURE 9000 Web Client simplify

customers ability to access their system from any computer. In short, weve provided

CCURE 9000 customers with highly-anticipated functionality, and compelling

migration opportunities for CCURE 800/8000 customers wishing to transition to

CCURE 9000.

Ensure maximum and minimum occupancy levels are enforced with N Man Rule and
Occupancy Restrictions
Lets face it. Not everyone belongs in every location. There are offices or rooms in a customers facility that need
some extra babysitting. For those rooms, users can make sure each person has to have a partner when they enter.
This eliminates any chance of wrongdoing, whether intentional or not. On the other hand, they also need to make
sure theyre not exceeding maximum occupancy levels in heavily populated areas (like conference rooms, visitor
centers, cafeterias, etc.). Minimum and maximum occupancy level features in CCURE 9000 make it easy to
comply.

Benefit
Controlling area access is about ensuring that confidential areas are kept protected, occupancy levels are
maintained, and unauthorized entry is prevented. You may have a customer in the government or
healthcare sector that has highly-classified areas within their facility; it is critical to ensure that information
is protected or to minimize the risk of exposure to potentially harmful materials. With these new features, a
customer will have tighter control over what groups of personnel may enter restricted areas and prevent
potentially disastrous situations from occurring.

Create an unlimited number of custom Personnel Views using the easy drag/drop tool
Personnel records contain information about people who have access to a particular facility or facilities within an
organization. The information may include their photo, personnel type, access credentials, and all clearance levels
(doors and locations they are allowed to access). With an unlimited number of custom views which can be assigned
by role or personnel type, you can tailor what information is displayed and how it looks to each user. For example, an

administrator may need to see a unique view based on personnel type: one for contractors, one for employees, and
one for visitors. Conversely, a guard may only be privy to limited personnel information. S/he will only be able to
view specified employee or visitor information when on duty.

Benefit
Customizing personnel views allows administrators to limit access to classified personnel data and to
create custom views to facilitate efficient data entry. It gives administrators control over who sees what
information based on privileges within the company. This prevents users from viewing classified
information about employees, contractors, and visitors, and obtaining the information for unauthorized use.

Enhance security by requiring monitoring station operators to confirm their credentials

before manually activating critical events
Manually activating an event can sometimes be extremely important, particularly in emergency situations. Take, for
example, this very dramatic situation:

A guard is notified that a gunman has been spotted on campus at University X. Using manual actions, the guard can
automatically lock down all of the facilities secured by CCURE 9000. That is obviously a very powerful feature and
one that, if misused, can be detrimental to security. So, to ensure that only authorized personnel have the ability to

execute this powerful feature, they are now prompted to reenter credential information for verification.

Benefit
Since the guard must authenticate credential information when manually activating events, unauthorized
execution of these events is virtually eliminated. Additionally, this enforces operator accountability.

Use dynamic Clearance Filters to automatically modify access rights of all personnel
based on a change in threat level
For many corporate and government customers, it is critical to be able to dynamically change clearance levels based
on changes in threat level or other emergency situations. Clearance filters allow customers to assign a clearance
filter number to personnel which must match or be greater than the clearance number of the protected area. For
example, a first floor laboratory may be accessible to all pharmaceutical personnel during normal operating hours.
During this time, the reader that secures the room has a clearance filter number of 1 and each person with a
clearance filter number 1 or greater on his/her access card can gain access. In the event of a hazardous spill,
however, the clearance filter on the reader can be automatically changed to a 3, which means only those personnel
who have a clearance filter of 3 or higher will be permitted access. The changing of the clearance numbers can be
configured to occur at predetermined times (such as from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. during normal operating hours), or as
the result of a specific event (the lab technician presses a button, indicating that a hazardous spill has occurred).

Benefit
Assigning clearance filters to personnel is a powerful tool in applications like government, airports, and bio-
hazardous laboratory where preparedness for emergency situations is critical. This ensures that only those
people assigned to a particular area are allowed access.

Create your own personnel data fields to capture information specific to your environment
Every company has information that is specific to its operation, especially related to its security procedures. In
CCURE 9000 v1.93, an administrator can specify the type of field and customize the label for each field that is specific
to his/her application. For example, University X Medical School students have a special pass that allows them access
to the main parking lot and three satellite lots. The administrator can add a field called Parking Pass Number to the
personnel records for those students authorized to enter the lots.

Benefit
Customized fields give customers a unique feel to their system, as well as enabling them to find and/or
process information more quickly.

Customize LCD messages on RM Readers

Users can now configure RM readers to show customized messages on the LCD.

Benefit
Previously, apC and iSTAR controllers had a limited canned set of English language text that was used to
display such messages as PRESENT CARD or ACCESS GRANTED along with U.S. date order of
MM/DD/YY and a 12-hour a.m. / p.m. time display. Now, users can configure each apC and/or iSTAR
controller with sets of customized text along with date order and time display.

New simplified software licensing process

Weve improved the way our CCURE 9000 security and event management software is licensed. Specifically:

The temporary license period of 60 days starts when the software is installed, not when it leaves our factory. This
prevents any issues on a job site when the software is installed after the temporary period has expired. Should you
experience any technical issues on the original computer, this also allows you to re-install the original, temporary
software on a new computer and start a new 60-day temporary license period.

The license information for both temporary and permanent licenses is delivered in single, encrypted files that are
directly imported into the CCURE 9000 license application. These files eliminate typing errors and enable
customers to perform license upgrades themselves, without requiring a separate call-back visit.

You no longer have to re-start the CCURE 9000 driver in order to activate video, fire, intrusion, intercom and other
rd
3 party system integration options.

License information, in the form of a compact file, is delivered via email only no faxes or phone distribution. We
ask for an email address specifically for license information at the time of order, and for the permanent license. You
may want to consider setting up a separate email address for license information. (Note: CCURE 9000
SiteServers do not require an email address for the initial order; they come with a pre-installed 60-day temporary
license that is activated upon startup).

All CCURE 9000 and CCURE 9000 SiteServer upgrades to version 1.93 require that you install a new permanent
license. A utility is available to determine the new Host ID of the computer before the upgrade, so that a direct
permanent license can be obtained.

Benefit
These important licensing changes will make the CCURE 9000 licensing process quicker and more
efficient.

New intuitive reports in CCURE 9000 Web Client

CCURE 9000 Web Client has been updated to include the ability to quickly extract information from
the journal and/or audit log to provide basic reporting functionality.

Benefit
You can now remotely create a permanent history of who went where and at what time from any remote
location.

Support for iSTAR Edge four-door IP door controller

A new version of the iSTAR Edge now supports up to four readers. The controller is easily expanded to support the
additional readers through the RM bus. Please note that PoE Plus (25.5W provided at the controller) will normally
provide enough power for four readers and two locks (each door having an entry and exit reader), but will not have
enough power to support four doors and four locks you will have to use local 12V or 24V local power. Please
consult the power calculation spreadsheet on the Member Center to determine your exact power requirements.

Benefit
iSTAR Edge can greatly reduce customers cabling costs by allowing them to leverage existing network
infrastructure, especially when using Power over Ethernet (PoE). Supporting four doors now allows
customers to further reduce cabling costs while adding two doors.

Supports CCURE Mobile upgrades

Oftentimes its necessary for a company to verify its employees identities at offsite locations such as on a bus, train,
boat, at specified mustering points in emergency situations, or simply at a temporary entrance gate. CCURE Mobile
offers customers this option. The following new features enhance user experience and offer additional security for
any of these offsite locations:
Display date/time of expiration of cardholder credentials
Secure communication between CCURE 9000 and the CCURE Mobile device with Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) encryption
Set privilege levels based on user role within the organization
Reads bar code card format

Additional security features offer tighter control of who goes where and when. With more ways to control area
access, customers can control who goes where and when, creating a more secure environment for employees and
enhanced safeguarding of confidential information. These features include Occupancy Restrictions, N Man Rule, and
Clearance Filters.

More ways to view and customize the system. Users can view and customize personnel data within
CCURE 9000 more efficiently. This will provide them with the ability to customize the system for specific
organizational requirements. Below are a few ways in which data can be customized.

Personnel Views depending on privileges, decide who sees what information

User-Defined Fields customize data fields for a more unique customer experience
RM LCD Messages display reader messages that are specific to an organization

Easier software licensing. The new CCURE 9000 licensing process is easier to navigate and gets customers up
and running in a very short amount of time.

More solid migration path for CCURE 800/8000 customers. The new access control features in this release
provide continued support for existing CCURE 9000 customers but also present a compelling case for
CCURE 800/8000 customers considering a transition to CCURE 9000. For a complete comparison of features
