Fire Roll Call Report is Now Available in Ingress Software
Ever since the release
of Ingress version 3.0.1.20 in February 2015, Ingress software has been loaded
with a new feature, which is the Fire Roll Call Report. This report will show
users who are still within the building during an emergency. However, do take
note that this report only works if you
install an In-Out reader system. Therefore, you will at least need 2
devices installed at a door, one each for entry and exit.
The In-Out reader
system is a system where you have records of users who enter a zone and users
are required to verify their fingerprints when leaving that zone. Ingress
Software constantly checks on users who are entering and leaving the zone by
gathering transaction logs from these 2 readers. The report will ONLY display
the user ID of any person who has not checked out from a zone.
Below this are some questions related to using this report:
1. How do I establish the In-Out reader
system?
You
can use access control devices in various combinations, for instance:
a) R2 -
R2c
b) Kadex –
k-Kadex
c) R2 -
R2
2. I have just purchased a TA200 Plus to
use with Ingress. Will I be able to generate this report?
TA200
Plus is a time attendance device. Access control devices configured with the
In-Out system is required before a fire roll call report can be generated.
3. Can the fire roll call be generated
and printed automatically upon an event?
At
the moment, there is no sensor to trigger a signal to the system so you will
need to preview the report manually.
Steps
1. Install an In-Out reader system and
in Ingress, add the devices to the designated Door.
2. Next, you
must assign one device as Emergency Exit for every door. To do this, at the
‘Doors’ > ‘Details’ tab, select one of the devices as ‘Entry Device’.
Following that, tick the option ‘Emergency
Exit’ and click Save, then sync it with the FingerTec Terminals.
3. Repeat the same settings for each door (e.g Production floor, canteen, office).
4. Then, go to Reports Tab > Choose Fire Roll Call Report to view user who has not checked out from a zone.
