Changes from Version 6.2.1 to Version 6.3

A.

New Features

1.

Flexible setup for Energy Controller Units


Knowedge Core isssue No. 0124. Vision V6.3 adds more flexibility in the
setup of ECU (Energy Controller Units) manufactured by Enkoa. In System
Setup module, in System Parameters there is new flag "ECU data for
employee as for guest" under "RFID options" tab.

With this flag selected, the employee keycard will receive the same rights for
energy controllers as guest cards. Only cards are affected, so there is no
need to reprogram locks.

2.

Alternative method of DST update


Knowedge Core isssue No. 0183. With Vision V6.3 it is possible to carry the
Daylight Saving Time information on guest cards (similar method is present in
low-end hotel lock systems manufactured by VingCard: 2100 and 2800).
In System Setup - System Parameters, in "Daylight Savings" tab , there are 2
radio buttons in group "Method of DST transfer to locks": "By LockLink" and
"By each guest card".
When selecting "By LockLInk", Vision system will behave in the same manner
as the older Vision versions. DST is transferred to LockLink and then to locks
- update of DST must be done once a year (Vision -> LockLink -> Locks).
With "By each guest card", Vision will put the daylight saving time information
on each guest card issued, hence yearly DST update is not needed.
Note that when first selecting this option, all locks needs to be re-programmed
to activate "DST by guest card" function.
Note: this function is not available in E-cylinders. Do not enable By each
guest card if there are any E-cylinders in Vision system.

Release Notes

Report on programmed rooms


Knowedge Core isssue No. 0139. There is new report in Vision V6.3. It is
shown by going to Reports - Lock - Programmed. There is a list of all locks in
Vision database.
When group of locks is programmed by LockLink, system user connects
LockLink with Vision and clicks on "Receive" button. The list will be updated
and the time-stamps will be shown. This list can be printed after pressing
"Preview" button.

Release Notes

Improvements
ASA Service starts with delay.
When Vision V6.3 is installed with Adaptive Server Anyway as a service on
Windows Vista and newer Windows operating systems, the ASA service will
by launched with delay. This is to avoid the case when ASA starts before
networking is available, which meant that ASA sometimes had to be manually
stopped and restarted.

2.

New event in Escape Return mode


Knowedge Core isssue No. 0140. There is a new type of event: Auto-locked
stored by lock in Escape Return mode. This event is recorded when lock
secures the door after the escape return timeout. In LockLink it comes into
view as:

Release Notes

In Vision it looks as below:

3.

Conversion to Universal locks in LockLink module


There is a conversion utility (wizard) in System Setup | Locks that allows
simple conversion of existing locks into Universal type. It was included in
previous versions of Vision.
Now with Vision V6.3, the same lock wizard can be launched from LockLink
module upon pressing "Setup Wizard" button.

4.

Better lock program overwiew


LockLink module shows the list of lock programs (lock firmwares) that are
installed in Vision system. This list is now organized in 2 groups: "For 4.5V
locks" on top and "For 9V locks" in back.

Release Notes

Reparations
Guest keycards change function for long stays

1.

In Guest Keycards module, when "Change" function was invoked, the


calendar was acting wrongly if card to be changed was valid for 1 year or
longer. This is fixed in V6.3.

2.

Escape Return mode for RFID


In previous version: Vision V6.2.1 (including service releases), it was not
possible to make cards if RFID option was turned on. This is fixed in V6.3.

Employee keycards wrong icons

3.

Knowedge Core isssue No. 0206. In previous version: Vision V6.2.1,


sometimes (when the same physical card was re-used) the the status icons
for employee records, were wrong. This is fixed in V6.3.

4.

driver from http://www.omnikey.com
Remember to install a driver BEFORE you plug-in the Omnikey unit.
Note that Omnikey encoders do not support CryptoRF cards in Vision!

Compatibility with LockLink software


LockLink software runs on the service terminal.
Vision V6.3 should be used with LockLink V3.35. LockLink versions before
V3.35 are not compatible with Vision V6.3.

III. Software Installation


A. General
Full instructions on the Vision installation process, including setting up the
network are available in the Vision Manual, Chapter 1. The manual is available in
PDF format on the Vision CD. This chapter is also installed in the main Vision
folder as Vision Installation.pdf. You will need Adobe Acrobat Viewer to read this
file.

B. Upgrading
Vision V6.3 will automatically upgrade from
Vision V3.1, V4.0, V4.1, V4.11, V4.12, V5.0, V5.1, V5.2, V5.3, V5.4, V5.5, V5.6,
V5.7, V5.8, V5.9, V5.9.1, V5.9.2, V5.10, V6.0, V6.1, V6.2.1 (including all SRs
and patches of these versions)
You will require new license codes for version V6.3 when compared to any of the
V3.x or V4.x versions.
Vision V6.3 will NOT automatically upgrade from Vision versions earlier than 3.1.
These should be upgraded to version 3.1 (using the V3.1 installation program)
THEN up to version 6.3
Vision V6.3 will NOT automatically upgrade from DaVinci versions. The database
will need to be rebuilt.
If you are upgrading an existing V5.x or V6.x installation from single to multiple
database operation, you will need new 'Multi' license codes for each database
you install.

C. Testing
We always recommend doing a test upgrade on the customer database before
going live. It can highlight problems without the customer knowing. We
recommend this be done in the office or at a laptop. This is of course especially
important with all new versions. We also recommend checking the customer
database with demo locks or even better 2-3 live locks in the hotel etc. If all OK,
then go live.
