Appendix F Frequently Asked Questions
The AEC2.1 is targeted for small to mid-sized users who, because of the expense traditionally
associated with access control solutions, have not been able to justify such systems in their
security plans. While AEC2.1 performs all the traditional access control functions, it also
introduces some new concepts never before seen in an access control product.
The controller is unique in a number of ways. First, it interfaces to a host computer using the
customer's network. Second, a standard Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer,
provides the user interface to the controller. No special application software is needed. Third
by using only industry standard HTML pages, database management tasks are the easiest of
any access control controller on the marketplace today. Fourth is the video verification option
that allows you to view Live or Playback videos. And fifth, AEC2.1 offers a low-cost solution
that will fit the budget of most small businesses.
In order to help you understanding the AEC2.1 product, we have compiled a list of most
frequently asked question concerning the installation, operation and capabilities of the
AEC2.1.

General Questions
Question - My old access control system requires a user to be logged on and monitor the
system at all times. Does a computer always need to be connected to the AEC2.1?
Answer - No. The only time a computer needs to be connected to the AEC2.1 is when it is
necessary to make database changes or review transaction history or when the user wants to
monitor the controller activity. Other than these, it is not necessary to be logged into, or
connected to, the AEC2.1.
Once database has been set up, the AEC2.1 will function indefinitely without user attention.
Unlike some access control systems, there are no buffers that will fill up and overflow if the
controller is not tended to at periodic intervals.
Question - I would like my receptionist to monitor the AEC2.1 during business hours, but she
has other applications that need to be running on her computer. Can the AEC2.1 be monitored
in the background without affecting the receptionist's ability to run other programs, such as
MS Word and Excel?
Answer - Definitely. The receptionist can login to the AEC2.1, open the Transactions screen,
and select the desired setting (Alarm, Valid, Restore or All). Then minimize the Transactions
window.
Now the receptionist can open and run other applications, such as MS Word or Excel.
When AEC2.1 detects an alarm condition, the audible chime will sound to alert the
receptionist to the alarm. The receptionist can then restore the Transactions screen and
handle the alarm without disturbing any of the other work. When finished with the alarm, the
receptionist needs to minimize the Transactions and be ready to continue working with the
other application.
