For most banks, security means having an infrastructure that allows the use of modern technical equipment with central control and the ability to monitor security relevant organisations.
For most banks, security means having an infrastructure that allows the use of modern technical equipment with central control and the ability to monitor security relevant organisations.
Such a system allows reporting of the actual condition within strong-rooms and checks access to control equipment, and has been installed by Sinius Bank in Dusseldorf.
The Emka Elm, for electronic locking and monitoring, includes the logging, analysis and display of climatic values inside strong-rooms (temperature, atmospheric humidity and water).
The devices and control equipment give a status signal, for example overstepping a temperature limit, and all event messages are included in the logging process.
Many variable settings were needed to generate alarm signals.
These alarm-traps are displayed via SNMP in the HP-Openview management system.
There are four Elm modules installed.
A communication module fitted with RS232 and Ethernet interfaces is the core.
Via this module access to all other modules is possible.
A real time clock and additional memory allow the logging of events that remain stored even following a power outage.
The status of the system is displayed by two central alarm relays, which allow the forwarding of alarm events.
The integral Elmcontrol software provides individually settable parameters and options supported by an integrated system.
Selected structures and definitions are arranged in a Windows look-and-feel view.
There is a control module for connecting building services and sensor modules.
All these modules are placed in a one-unit 19in rack, with external display at a control centre via an LCD panel with individually developed software to manage all requirements for an instant visual display.
To extend the system, further racks or individual modules can be added to allow, for example, the control of access to the individual switch cabinets by control and monitoring of the locking unit.
Also possible is an integration of further sensors for detecting smoke or movement.
All modules are connected by Canbus, which may be extended by adding up to 256 modules.
All sensitive data exchanged between the modules are encrypted.
System messages and alarm signals are forwarded to the management system via SNMP.
At different Sinius locations, access is controlled and 19in server cabinets are monitored by an integrated Elm system.
Office doors are also supervised by the system.
The server cabinets are fitted with electrically opened swing handles including solenoid and mechanically operated latches.
Operation may be arranged via keypad, proximity card, mobile telephone or network management stations.
Control and sensor modules allow a controlled access and ensure the monitoring or logging of all events.
