The database installed with PremiSys is Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Express - if the operating system is 32-bit, the 32-bit version of SQL Server is installed.

Notes

If you are upgrading from an unsupported version of PremiSys, click here for additional important considerations that are required to upgrade to the current version. Click here for a list of supported & unsupported versions.

Important: If PremiSys-ENGAGE site is not created at time of initial licensing of NDE Lock(s), operator can use the NDE Site Generation option found in Tools menu.

Important: NDE Locks and Schlage Controls do not support Areas and thus cannot be used with the Muster Report feature. An "access granted" transaction from an NDE Lock or Schlage Control WILL NOT reflect a change of location for a cardholder on the Muster Report.

Important: A maximum of 100 ENGAGE Gateways should be added to a single PremiSys-ENGAGE Site in order to maintain performance of the client application.

Important: When restoring an IDBAK which contains ENGAGE Gateway devices, the IDenticard Windows Service should be manually restarted in order to re-establish proper communication with all Gateway devices.

Important: Deactivation dates are required for cards being used with Resident Manager. Commands cannot be written to card (using an MT20W) unless a deactivation date has been assigned to the card.

Important: When updating ENGAGE device firmware for Online locks, make sure to update gateway firmware to the latest version before updating locks. Gateways and locks must have ENGAGE 5 or higher firmware in order to push new firmware from PremiSys. When updating ENGAGE lock firmware for offline locks, current firmware must be ENGAGE 5 or higher. If you have ENGAGE devices which do not meet these requirements, you must use the ENGAGE Mobile Application to update firmware.

Important: Additional Relay configuration requires the relays to be on the SIO as the reader.

Important: Additional Relay configuration requires the use of the next relay associated with the door.

Important: Additional Relay will never activate if the strike is off before the delay expires.

Important: When upgrading from version 4.6 or below, the PremiSys Windows Service must be manually started after the upgrade is completed.

Known Issues

- Help file is not updated to include new or updated features.
- When upgrading clients, the auto-client update feature cannot install versions of .NET Framework. If an upgrade requires a newer version of .NET Framework then that Framework version will need to be installed before using auto-client update OR the upgrade must be run manually using PremiSys installation files.
- When logging in after certain plugins are installed on the server a DirectX installation may appear. If the logged in user does not have permissions to install software the DirectX install will fail.
- Transaction filtering options do not allow the user to filter Rack objects (reference: 63886)

- The “Unused Active Cards” dashboard widget is limited to display a maximum of 1000 cards in the table-view.
- A User Logoff transaction will not be generated for a client which is logged off due to a network connection or client-PC issue until the client logs back in.
- Though IE8 is not a supported browser for use with PremiSys, if you must use it you may notice significant performance issues when using the Dashboard feature set.
- When using the Dashboard feature from a web-browser, using the browser’s refresh feature requires the user to log in again.
- Dashboard feature may not work correctly when using Compatibility Mode in versions of Internet Explorer.
- Mobile users will need to exit and restart their application after a new lookup field is made available to mobile users or when new lookup values are added to a lookup field which has already been made available to mobile users.
- Use of certain special characters when entering data on a mobile device may result in a Cardholder not displaying correctly in Navigator. (reference: D-01472)
- User log-on and log-off transactions are not visible in Monitor/Control unless/until at least one Controller has been configured. (reference: D-01618)
- Scanning of Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes using the mobile application is only supported on iOS devices and only with iOS version 8 or higher
- One-time-use cards can be used again after an NDE Lock "phones home" and receives a configuration change or card update. (reference: D-01889)
- Specific properties for LE locks are not present on the ENGAGE Door Report (reference: S-03385)
- When upgrading PremiSys, the default port number for TCP port for HTTPS bindings is reset to 443 in IIS. (reference: D-02333)
- Hardware changes made using a Resident Manager mobile application are not journaled in the hardware journal(s)
- Dashboard feature is not accessible using LDAP user logins
