Welcome
• Welcome to Honeywell Vindicator’s Operators Training– This training has been
developed by the Honeywell Vindicator Training Group
Honeywell Vindicator ProprietaryMarch 2011 Slide 3
Vindicator
Operators Course
• Description: This course provides training in the operation of the Vindicator IDS, ACS and VCC software suites.
• Objective: to provide Security Personnel and End Users the skills necessary to operate the Vindicator Security Systems
• Audience: Security Personnel and End Users

Honeywell Vindicator ProprietaryMarch 2011 Slide 5
Vindicator
Intrusion Detection
• What is Intrusion Detection?– An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a
device or software application that monitors network and/or system activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produces reports to a Management Station.
– Intrusion prevention is the process of performing intrusion detection and attempting to stop detected possible incidents.
Honeywell Vindicator ProprietaryMarch 2011 Slide 6
Vindicator
Intrusion Detection
• What is your responsibility?– As the operator for an IDS system your job is
to monitor and respond to events that occur on the IDS management station.
– There are two distinct IDS monitoring tools.– The S.M.A.R.T. system.– The VCC system.
Honeywell Vindicator ProprietaryMarch 2011 Slide 7
Vindicator
Intrusion Detection (IDS)
• Vindicator® V5 Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
– The V5 IDS solution consists of the V5 IDS server, required downstream I/O, Vindicator® Command and Control (VCC) operator interface, and local I/O modules to suit any size application.
– Built on the V5 Network Security Appliance™, the Vindicator IDS solution is the central control unit for enterprise-wide security needs
Honeywell Vindicator ProprietaryMarch 2011 Slide 8
Vindicator
Intrusion Detection (VCC)• Vindicator VCC (Command & Control)
– A graphical user interface that connects to the V5 via TCP/IP, LAN/WAN, RS485 or fiber. VCC enables operators to monitor intrusion and perimeter security, access control, CCTV, and fire and life safety systems from any location.
– VCC provides map based views of facilities (which can be exported from CAD, satellite images, etc.), intuitive icons and control buttons, audible alarms, and an easy-to-use interface for monitoring 10’s of thousands of alarm points.
– Events can be sent to one or many VCC consoles and routed based on priority, origin or type.

Lesson Summary
• In this session we talked about:– Who benefits from this course– What is Intrusion Detection– What is your responsibility– The V5 IDS System– The Vindicator Command and Control System
• In the next lesson, we cover briefly how an intrusion network is configured.

PC SMART PAC (S.M.A.R.T.)YOUR OPERATOR
SOFTWARE
Honeywell Vindicator ProprietaryMarch 2011 Slide 12
Vindicator
PC SMART PAC
• What is PC Smart Pac– The smart software supervises system
equipment status and distributes system status changes to operator interfaces and peripheral equipment.
– It also accepts commands from operators and evaluates the significance of system events against defined “normal” conditions.
Honeywell Vindicator ProprietaryMarch 2011 Slide 13
Vindicator
PC SMART PAC
• The S.M.A.R.T. System– The V5 IDS server supports multiple alarm
types, including standard, delayed, combined, auto-secure, two-man access and group access alarms.
– Each type serves a specific purpose in the site security plan and ensures that the security scheme matches the operational reality for the facility.
Honeywell Vindicator ProprietaryMarch 2011 Slide 14
Vindicator
PC SMART PAC
• The S.M.A.R.T. system– The V5 IDS separates alarm points into
categories of importance as their status changes.
– An alarm’s priority affects the way it is displayed, the type of alarm employed when the point goes off normal, and its position on the Action List screen.
Honeywell Vindicator ProprietaryMarch 2011 Slide 15
Vindicator
Lesson Summary
• In this session we learned:– S.M.A.R.T supervises and manages your
system– S.M.A.R.T is your interface to your IDS system– S.M.A.R.T. separate alarms into separate
categories

Access Control Operations
• Status (F11)– Personnel
• What is Anti Pass Back?– Anti-Passback prevents users from ‘tailgating' through
controlled areas by tracking the entry and exit counts. – A user can only exit an area that they have already
entered and can only enter an area that they previously exited.
– If a user tailgates onto a site, the exit keypad will deny exit to them because they are not logged into the area.
– If a user is onsite and tailgates off of the site, they will be denied exit next time they try to enter.

If the highest priority condition is Access, the Map Responder’s color is YELLOW
If the highest priority condition is Comm Fail, the Map Responder’s color is BLUE.
