Wiring and architecture considerations for connecting JVA Perimeter Patrol to JVA Security Electric Fence Devices

2 Wiring and architecture considerations for connecting JVA Perimeter Patrol to JVA Security Electric Fence Devices 2.1 Introducing the Keypad Bus JVA Perimeter Patrol monitors and commands the following JVA Security Electric Fence Devices: Table 1- List of JVA Security Electric Fence Devices

Security Electric Fence Device Electric Fence Energiser

Zone Monitor Ethernet Adapter

IO Board

Ethernet IO Board Keypad

Purpose To power and monitor zones. A zone is an individual section of electric fence. A zone can be armed or disarmed without affecting other zones. Alarms are raised for individual zones. To monitor a zone that is being powered by another energiser. To provide a bridge between the Keypad Bus and the Local Area Network, allowing Perimeter Patrol to connect to the Keypad Bus via Ethernet. To provide extension inputs and outputs. Inputs accept signals from non-JVA security devices such as motion sensors or gate sensors. Outputs provide a way to send signals to external systems such as sirens, strobes, alarms, watchdog monitors, pumps, gates etc. Combines the function of both the Ethernet Adapter and the IO Board, with the addition of analog input capabilities. To allow security personnel to perform manual configuration or command of JVA devices.

Each of the JVA security electric fence devices listed above communicate on a serial data bus that has been given the name Keypad Bus, mostly because it allows the keypad to connect to the devices.

2.2 Group Mode configuration Each device on a Keypad Bus must be configured with a unique id that identifies it on that Keypad Bus. That unique id is called the Keypad Bus Id and it ranges in value from 1 to 15. When you are installing the devices, you must first connect a keypad directly to the device to set its configuration properties before you connect it to the Keypad Bus with all the other devices attached. The device configured with Keypad Bus Id = 1 becomes the Master device, which is responsible for marshalling communications between all the devices on the Keypad Bus, and for synchronizing the timing of all energisers on the Keypad Bus. Devices configured with Keypad Bus Id = 2 – 15 become Slave devices. In the user manuals for each device, the device’s Keypad Bus Id will be referred to as its Group Mode. You configure the Keypad Bus Id for each device by settings its Group Mode configuration property.

JVA Perimeter Patrol™

Wiring and architecture considerations for connecting JVA Perimeter Patrol to JVA Security Electric Fence Devices

Refer to each device’s user manual to find out how to set its Group Mode configuration property. After you have used a keypad to configure each device individually, you may connect all the devices together on the Keypad Bus. 2.2.1 Keypad Bus Limitations Device LCD Keypads Devices with a Keypad Bus Id

Maximum number of devices 2 15

Devices with a Keypad Bus Id include energisers, zone monitors, Ethernet adapters, IO boards and Ethernet IO boards. Note that LCD Keypads must each be configured with their own Keypad Id when attaching more than one to a Keypad Bus, but Keypad Id is independent of the Keypad Bus Id of other devices. Refer to the LCD Keypad’s user manual for more information.

2.3 Wiring overview The Keypad Data bus consists of three wires: Ground (GND), Data (DAT), and Power (+12V). Energisers, Zone Monitors and Ethernet IO Boards supply power to the +12V wire while all other devices consume power from the +12V wire. The maximum number of devices excluding keypads that can be connected to a Keypad Data Bus is 15. The computer that hosts JVA Perimeter Patrol can connect to the JVA Security Electric Fence Devices using serial communications or Ethernet communications over the Local Area Network. The sections below will help you decide which connection configuration you should choose.

2.3.1 Serial connection The image below illustrates a possible wiring scenario for connecting JVA Perimeter Patrol to the Keypad Data Bus using either of the two serial communications systems available. The “Keypad Bus to Serial Converter” device illustrated could be either the PAE051 Keypad Bus to RS232 Converter or the PAE223 Keypad Bus to USB Converter. Notice that one of the Energisers or Zone Monitors is configured with its Group Mode Setting = Master and all other devices are configured with Group Mode Setting = Slave.

2.3.2 Ethernet connection The image below illustrates a possible wiring scenario for connecting JVA Perimeter Patrol to the Keypad Data Bus via the Local Area Network using either of the Ethernet adapters available. The “Master Ethernet Device” illustrated could be either the PAE212 Ethernet Adapter Device or the PAE224 Ethernet IO Board. Notice that the Master Ethernet Device is configured with its Group Mode Setting = Master and all other devices are configured with Group Mode Setting = Slave.

Wiring and architecture considerations for connecting JVA Perimeter Patrol to JVA Security Electric Fence Devices

2.4 Wiring limitations and best practices For best results, the Master device should be connected closest to the control / monitoring unit (Keypad, computer or LCD display). Maximum resistance from the keypad to the Master device on the GND wire or the DATA wire is 4.5 Ohm. Maximum resistance from the Master device to any other device on the GND wire or the DATA wire is 150 Ohms, maximum capacitance allowed between the GND and DATA wires measured at the Master device is 150nF

Figure 5 – Connecting a PAE051/PAE223 to JVA Perimeter Patol via RS232 or USB cable

Tip! “Two wires as one” technique: If you are using CAT 5 cable for the Keypad Bus, you will have enough spare wires in the cable to use this clever trick for halving their resistance: Join together two wires at both ends to have them act together as a single wire. Make sure you join them together as they enter and exit each device. Note: CAT 5 DC loop resistance is 0.188 Ohm / meter or 0.094 Ohm / meter if you are using the “two wires as one” technique. It is worth measuring the capacitance between these two wires at the Master to make sure it doesn’t exceed this value. Based on this limitation, we recommend that the maximum length of cable be 1.5km. If you are using 3 or more energisers, the Master device should be in centre of the cable and the energisers should be evenly spaced. Star or Ring Network configurations can be used and are recommended for large installations.

2.5 Using an Ethernet adapter If you are using the Local Area Network to connect JVA Perimeter Patrol to the JVA Security Electric Fence Devices, you will need to use either the PAE212 Ethernet Adapter Device or the PAE224 Ethernet IO Board. 2.5.1 Wiring the Ethernet adapter PAE212 • Wire the Keypad Bus into the adapter (+12V, GND, DAT). o Energisers, Zone Monitors, and Ethernet IO Boards supply power to the Keypad Bus. o All other devices consume power from the Keypad Bus. • Connect the Ethernet port of the PAE212 to the building Local Area Network (LAN)

Figure 6 - PAE212 Ethernet Adapter Device

Page 14 of 71

JVA Perimeter Patrol™

Wiring and architecture considerations for connecting JVA Perimeter Patrol to JVA Security Electric Fence Devices

PAE224 • Wire Power into the adapter (+12V, GND). • Wire the Keypad Bus into the adapter (DAT, GND). Only wire +12V if the PAE224 is used to directly power a keypad. • Connect the Ethernet port of the PAE224 to the building Local Area Network (LAN)

Figure 7 - PAE224 Ethernet IO Board

2.5.2 Configuring Devices for operation with the Ethernet adapter The PAE212 Ethernet Adapter Device and PAE224 Ethernet IO Board are configured with their Group Mode property = 1, which means it is the Master Device and has a Keypad Bus Id = 1. Therefore all other devices must have their Group Mode set to a value between 2 and 15, which will configure them to be slaves. Remember, no two devices can have the same Keypad Bus Id. 2.5.3 Debugging an Ethernet adapter 2.5.3.1 Return to Factory Defaults (Jumper J4) If for some reason the PAE212 Ethernet Adapter Device or PAE224 Ethernet IO Board is not recognised by Perimeter Patrol, or it is not working as expected, it may be beneficial to return it to Factory Defaults. To do so: • • •

Remove the black jumper located at J4 (see previous images for jumper location). Depower the Ethernet adapter by removing the Power connector (PAE224 only) and the Keypad Bus connector. Repower the Ethernet adapter by re-attaching the Power connector (PAE224 only) and the Keypad Bus connector.

When the Power and Keypad Bus connection is returned, the LEDs D5 and D6 and D7 (see image below) will light for ½ a second. The D7 blink shows the board loading the Factory Defaults. Replace the jumper across both pins of J4. 2.5.3.2 LED Indications for the Ethernet adapter LEDs on the PAE212 and PAE224 can be used to get valuable debugging information when you are installing or troubleshooting its operation.

4.7.4 Configuring full screen mode Full screen mode is the remaining setting for you to configure in the Users panel. It is expected that you will configure JVA Perimeter Patrol to run in full screen mode and block operators from accessing other programs on the computer. To achieve this, you will have to set a password to prevent operators from exiting full screen mode. This password is only required when the operator has logged into JVA Perimeter Patrol with an account that has user-level access permissions. The password cannot prevent supervisors from exiting full-screen mode.

Figure 29 – Configure Alarm Delay settings

Section 2 of the configuration settings shown below contains settings that you can configure to prevent JVA Perimeter Patrol from reacting too quickly to changing alarm conditions. The Alarm Delay setting allows you to specify the number of seconds an alarm condition must be present before JVA Perimeter Patrol logs it and raises an alarm. The Alarm Reset Delay setting allows you to specify the number of seconds an alarm condition must be gone before JVA Perimeter Patrol will mark the alarm as being resolved. Keep these values as small as possible to make JVA Perimeter Patrol react quickly to alarm circumstances. Increase them if you find that intermittent alarm conditions are causing JVA Perimeter Patrol to cycle too rapidly in and out of alarm state. 4.8.2 Alarm Popup Timeout

JVA Perimeter Patrol can contact the Ethernet Adapters by two methods, ordered from most recommended to least recommended. • •

Static IP Address (DHCP disabled) Network Name (DHCP enabled)

Choose a system depending on the configuration of the LAN (Local Area Network), which you may not have control over. Most LANs will permit you to use static IP Address but some will not. Some LANs will permit you to contact the Ethernet Adapters using their Network Name (DHCP) but some will not.

If you decide to use the Static IP Address (DHCP disabled) system, follow these instructions. •

•

Choose a Subnet Mask that is NOT being used by other computers or devices on the network. Other computers on the network most commonly use a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. Choose a different value to avoid IP Address conflicts. For each Ethernet Adapter in the Detected Ethernet Devices List: o Click the device to select it o Click the DHCP setting to disable it o Edit the Static IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS Click the Commit Changes to Ethernet Devices button

Make sure that you give each device a unique static IP address. The Gateway and DNS settings are usually standard and don’t need to be changed. Check with the Local Area Network (LAN) administrator if the LAN uses non-standard Gateway or DNS settings.

6.2.5.1.4 Clear known energisers list

Ethernet Adapters remember the energisers and zone monitors that have been connected to them in the past, even if the energiser or zone monitor has been removed from the Keypad Bus. Use the Clear Known Energisers List button to command the Ethernet Adapter to “forget” about all the energisers it has seen in the past. This is best performed while all devices are disarmed. The Ethernet Adapter will quickly determine the number and type of the devices connected. Returning the Ethernet Adapter to its factory default settings (explained above in this document) will achieve the same result, but if you do that you will also have to re-configure its Network settings inside JVA Perimeter Patrol. 6.2.6 Adding electric fence zones to JVA Perimeter Patrol When you have finished configuring the Ethernet Adapters, you will be ready to configure JVA Perimeter Patrol for monitoring and controlling each individual section of electric fence, called a zone. All the zones that were detected will be displayed in the Detected Zones list, as illustrated in (Area 1) of the image below.

Page 45 of 71

JVA Perimeter Patrol™

Configuring the Site

6.2.6.1 Using the electric fence zone descriptor to identify zones Each zone can be uniquely identified from its descriptor as displayed in the Detected Zones list. To understand the descriptor, we will use our understanding of the network architecture described earlier in this document. •

• • •

Zones belong to Security Electric Fence Devices such as energisers and zone monitors. A zone is a section of electric fence that is individually armed, disarmed, and monitored. Alarms can be raised for each zone. Security Electric Fence Devices can have more than one Zone each. Security Electric Fence Devices are grouped on a Keypad Bus together with a Ethernet Adapter. There can be many Ethernet Adapters, each with its own group of Security Electric Fence Devices.

The first three fields of a zone’s descriptor, separated by the ‘:’ character, uniquely identify the zone by describing its position with respect to the network of devices. The final field of the descriptor, inside “()” brackets, is just a helper that tells you the type of device that powers or monitors the zone. The descriptor of the first zone in the list in the image above is ETH-161372:2:1 (Z14) Example Description Descriptor Part 1 ETH-161372 Network Name of the Ethernet Adapter. The last six digits are the same as the serial number of the device. Descriptor Part 2 2 Keypad Bus Id of the device powering or monitoring the zone. Descriptor Part 3 1 Index of the zone with respect to the other zones powered or monitored by the same device. Also called the zone’s channel. Descriptor Part 4 (Z14) The type of device that is powering or monitoring the zone.

6.2.6.2 Identifying devices from the zone descriptor It may be helpful to note that the first two fields in the zone’s descriptor also uniquely identify the device that is powering or monitoring the zone. The first field in the descriptor, the network name of the Ethernet Adapter, can help you determine which Keypad Bus the device belongs to. The second field in the descriptor, the Keypad Bus Id, uniquely identifies the device with respect to the Keypad Bus that it is connected to. 6.2.6.3 Choosing which zones to add to JVA Perimeter Patrol Now that you understand how to identify zones from their descriptor, you can choose which zones you want to add to JVA Perimeter Patrol, and which zones you’d like to ignore. For example, if an energiser can power two zones but you only use one zone, you would like to ignore the zone that is not being used.

6.2.6.4 Adding zones Choose the zones you wish to view, monitor and control in JVA Perimeter Patrol as demonstrated in the image below (step 1). If you don’t want to have all the available zones, you may add and remove them individually using the checkbox beside each zone. Once you have selected all of the zones that you wish to use with JVA Perimeter Patrol, press the “Add Checked >>” button (step 2). Select any zone in the active zone list (step 3) and then give it a name (step 4) that is friendly and easy to understand. This is the name that JVA Perimeter Patrol will display to the users. Be careful to make sure you set the Contact Using property correctly (step 5). The table below shows you which value you should use depending on the network system that you are using to connect to the Ethernet Adapters. Network connection method Static IP Address (DHCP disabled) Network Name (DHCP enabled)

6.3 Configuring Zone Settings

Each Zone has configurable ‘Software Alarms’ that are only configured and triggered within Perimeter Patrol. These are found on the Settings Tab of each Zone. These are additional alarms levels that use the voltage readings of the Energiser/Monitor to determine the Alarm Condition. If the voltage of the Energiser is more than the “Over Voltage” or less than the “Under Voltage”, the alarm will be triggered. The alarms triggered are the UNDER VOLTAGE and OVER VOLTAGE alarms as displayed on the Zone Popup. To Copy these thresholds to other Zones, click on the Apply To All Zones button. 6.3.1 Setting Longitude and Latitude New to version 6 of Perimeter Patrol is the ability to assign a location to Zone. When a Zone goes into alarm, the user can click on the zone in the QuickView and click Show in Google Maps to quickly see where the issue is. This additional Longitude and Latitude information is also provided in alarm emails.

6.5.2 Setting the Zoom Level for the Map If your Map is a high resolution image and you have a lot of zones to be displayed, you may want to add some Zoom Levels to Perimeter Patrol. 1. Select the Maximum Zoom level you need. You may want to start at the highest (15x) level, draw your zone lines while zoomed in and then decide later what is acceptable To zoom into a section of the map, you can use the slider at the top right side of the Map, or use the Mouse Scroll Wheel. When using the Scroll Wheel, the map will centre the zoom at the current cursor position in the map. Moving around a Zoomed map is easy, there is a horizontal and vertical slide bar at the bottom and right side of the map. An easier way is to use the mouse by left clicking then dragging the map. This is similar to other Map systems you probably have already used. 2. Checking the Automatically Zoom To Active Alarm box will allow Perimeter Patrol to take control of the Zoom functionality 3. The zoom will only occur when the Mouse has been left idle for the specified time Any new alarm that occurs will be centred on the Map at the Maximum zoom level required to fit the entire Zone into the screen 4. This zoom level will be maintained for this specified time 5. After which, the map will return to either: Full Screen: The entire Map will be displayed Active Alarms: All of the Active Alarms will fill the Map View Active and Resolved Alarms: All open alarms will fill the Map View If the Full Screen Option is not chosen, then after the ‘Idle’ time (3), the Map will automatically return to Full Screen.

7 Configuring Advanced Features 7.1 Configuring IO Boards with JVA Perimeter Patrol Ethernet and General Purpose IO Boards are added to JVA Perimeter Patrol in the same way as zones. If all inputs on an Ethernet IO Board are configured as digital inputs, then the board will show up as a single zone with a Keypad Bus ID of 1, and the name “Analog IO Expander”, a General Purpose IO board will be have the name “In/Out Expander”

Figure 48 –IO Boards with all Digital Inputs

When one or more inputs on an Ethernet IO Board are configured as analog inputs (see the Ethernet General Purpose IO Technical Manual), each will be represented by a single zone with the Keypad Bus ID of 1. The Channel number of the zone will represent the analog input number. This will be followed by the device description of “Analog IO Expander”. The image below shows an Ethernet IO Board with inputs 2 and 3 configured as analog inputs:

Figure 49 – Adding an Ethernet IO Board with inputs configured as analog inputs

Proceed to edit the zone details as you would for a normal electric fence zone, giving the zone a friendly name and ensuring that its other details are correct, and saving your changes (see Adding zones on page 47).

7.1.1 Configuring Analog Inputs Inputs on the Ethernet IO Board that are configured as analog inputs can be used for measuring an external analog signal. This signal can generate alarms if it falls outside of a specified range. If you wish to use either of these functions: • • •

Click Setup → System Configuration Click Zones & Connections Select the zone corresponding to the desired analog input

On the Settings tab, the Analog Input Settings boxes can be used to adjust the offset, scaling factor and units of the input, allowing the measured value of the analog input to be adjusted to display the quantity it is measuring (e.g. temperature). The Alarm Thresholds settings can be adjusted to allow the analog input to generate an alarm if its value falls outside of the specified limits while the zone corresponding to the input is armed.

7.1.2 Configuring Digital Inputs Digital inputs can be used for displaying input status on the map, generating alarms, or triggering functions within Perimeter Patrol. To configure an input: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Select a zone corresponding to the Ethernet IO Board. Click the Inputs tab. Click Add Input, and give this new input a friendly name. Set the Input Number to the required Input number on this IO board.

If the input is configured for analog input, or if the input has already been added to another zone corresponding to the Ethernet IO Board (e.g. when there are multiple analog input zones), then the input will not work. 5. Select whether the input will be shown on the map, and select an option in the Input Generates Alarm box. The “When Activated” option will generate an alarm whenever that input is activated. The “When Armed And Activated” option will only generate an alarm when the input zone is armed and the input is activated. The example image below shows the zone named “IO Board 1” with digital input 1 named “Motion Sensor”. It has been configured to be displayed on the Map, and to Generate an Alarm when the zone “IO Board 1” is armed and the digital input “Motion Sensor” is activated.

7.1.3 Digital Input Functions Digital Inputs can perform one, or more, functions by “checking” the box next to the required Function Names. As most functions are not Alarm based, it is preferable to set the Generate Alarm function to “Never”. Mute the Siren: This will perform the same function as the “Mute Active Alarms” button in Perimeter Patrol. It will only “Mute” the Computer Siren sound; it will not stop sirens connected to Energisers. Clear Alarm Memory: This will perform the same function as the “Clear Alarm Memory” button in Perimeter Patrol. Close resolved alarms for zones: This allows you to specify zone alarms that can be closed using this input. This can be useful for closing low priority alarms without requiring a supervisor password. The Event Log will state “Closed by PAB” Dual PAB: This feature is not available Close all resolved alarms in the log: Triggering this input will automatically close all resolved alarms in the log. The Event Log will state “Closed by PAB” as the closing note. Pass through to an Output: This input will be able to control the output state of one or more Outputs connected to Perimeter Patrol. The ‘link’ from this Input to an Output is created at the Output itself. When you add the Pass Through Input function, another window will appear with all of the available User Controlled Outputs. Select the Outputs you want to control with this input. Disarm and Bypass Zone: When this Input is triggered, the specified Zone will automatically be disarmed. If this zone is being controlled via the scheduler, the required arm state will be ignored until the Input is reset. At this point, the zone will Arm or remain Disarmed depending on the scheduled requirement. This function can be combined with a Pass Through Output connected to a Strobe or Light which indicates the current state of the Bypassed Zone. If this zone is not controlled by the scheduler, the zone will NOT re-arm automatically. The user will have to Arm the Zone manually via Perimeter Patrol.

Connecting two instances of Perimeter Patrol in Server / Client configuration using the HLI

8 Connecting two instances of Perimeter Patrol in Server / Client configuration using the HLI 8.1 Configuring Perimeter Patrol Server Perimeter Patrol Server is the instance of Perimeter Patrol that connects directly to the JVA electric fence devices. It will act as a server when it accepts incoming connections from other instances of Perimeter Patrol and sends information to them. 8.1.1 Configuring Perimeter Patrol Server to accept HLI connections • Click Setup -> System Configuration • Open the HLI Server tab • Choose HLI Server Enabled • Set the TCP Listening Port to a value between 1,000 and 10,000. • Set a value for the Authentication Key. It doesn’t matter what value you use for the Authentication Key during testing, but you should use the “Generate” button to make a complicated key for your production sites, because this key is like a password code that prevents unauthorized software from connecting to your Perimeter Patrol. • Shut down and restart Perimeter Patrol Server as this is required for the new settings to take effect.

8.1.1.1 Use a static (fixed) IP Address for Perimeter Patrol Ask your system administrator to configure your network router so that it assigns a static IP Address to the computer running Perimeter Patrol.

2. Choose Connect to another instance of Perimeter Patrol via its HLI. 3. Enter the Remote Site Name into the box. 4. Enter the IP Address of Perimeter Patrol Server, or a Domain Name that you have registered to connect to the Server. For example MermaidEstate.dyndns.org 5. Enter the Remote Port that you chose for Perimeter Patrol Server. 6. Enter the Authentication Key that you chose for Perimeter Patrol Server. 7. Press the Save Button 8. Press the Save and Close Button

If you have more than one site that you will be connecting to, you can add more Remote Connection Details. After you press the Save Button, start entering the details of the next site. Ensure the Remote Site Name is different from other Sites, or the original will be saved over. Once the new Site details have been entered, press the Save Button again. From now on, you can choose the site you want to visit by selecting the site from the Remote Site Name box. The IP, Port and Connection Key will automatically update to the selected site.

8.3 Using the correct IP Address and Port While following the instructions above, were you able to establish a connection? If not, you may be entering the wrong IP Address and Port into Perimeter Patrol client. Following are some instructions to help you use the correct IP Address and Port number. The requirements will differ depending on whether Perimeter Patrol Client is attempting to connect from the same Local Area Network (LAN) as Perimeter Patrol Server. The first section below will give instructions for the situation when both computers are connected to the same LAN. The next section will give instruction for the situation when Perimeter Patrol Client is in a different physical location and must connect using the internet.

8.3.1 Connecting Server and Client on LAN Now that your system administrator has given Perimeter Patrol server a fixed IP Address, you can ask him for that address. Alternatively, you can find it out yourself. On the computer running Perimeter Patrol Server: • • • • • • •

Click Start -> Run and enter cmd.exe. If that doesn’t work, enter C:/windows/system32/cmd.exe If you don’t have “Run” on your start menu, you can find C:/windows/system32/cmd.exe in explorer and double-click the file to start it. The window pictured below will open. Type ipconfig and press Enter. Write down the IPv4 address. This is the IP Address that your client software needs to know. Your computer will have more than one IPv4 address if it has more than one network adapter device. Choose the address corresponding to the correct network adapter device.

8.3.2 Connecting Server and Client on WAN After creating a static IP Address for Perimeter Patrol Server, your system administrator will have to configure the network router by adding a NAT record to allow outside computers to directly connect to the Perimeter Patrol server. Be sure to tell your network administrator to point the NAT record to the same port as Perimeter Patrol Server is configured to use as the TCP Listen port. The network administrator will inform you of the IP Address and Port you should use. You will need to know the IP Address of the router as seen from the internet outside. If the network administrator forgets to give you this value, you can use http://www.whatismyip.com/ to get that information yourself, but you depend on the network administrator to know the port that he used for the NAT record. Creating this opening to the outside network can be a security risk for Perimeter Patrol Server as people with malicious intent can cause a “brute force” attack on Perimeter Patrol whereby they try to shut it down by simultaneously launching thousands of connection requests. Configure your router to block such attacks.

Locking down the computer to keep JVA Perimeter Patrol secure

9 Locking down the computer to keep JVA Perimeter Patrol secure As system administrator, you need to ensure the computer hosting JVA Perimeter Patrol is locked down giving the user limited ability to accidentally or deliberately sabotage JVA Perimeter Patrol. Install and configure security software appropriate to the Windows version in use to achieve the following: • • • • •

Don’t allow users to run any other application. Don’t allow users to modify or delete files in the C:/ProgramData/JVA Perimeter Patrol directory. Don’t allow users to run Task Manager or use other administrative tools to close the JVA Perimeter Patrol application. Ensure that JVA Perimeter Patrol starts up with the computer restarts. Don’t allow users to shut down the computer, log off or switch user.

Consider the following requirements when installing the network and system hardware: • •

•

Don’t allow users to disconnect anything from the computer itself – secure the computer where the user can’t access the cables attached to it. Don’t allow users to access the Local Area Network. Keep routers and wiring inaccessible. Lock down the routers to prevent unauthorized access or modification to the LAN settings. If the LAN is wireless, make sure nobody knows the password.
