Ease of use has been improved through a variety of upgrades including a new and improved GUI

Today at ISC West 2016, Sielox is introducing the latest version of its Pinnacle Access Control Platform with increased performance and functionality  at ISC West 2016 (booth #11109). New features included in Pinnacle 10.0 build on Sielox’s legacy of innovation to exceed users’ requirements for entry level to enterprise-wide access control systems.

Support For Microsoft SQL Express

“Ongoing refinements to Pinnacle keep us at the forefront of the access control market and provide our sales channel with additional opportunities to support their customers,” said Karen Evans, President and CEO, Sielox LLC. “Pinnacle 10.0 offers a premium solution featuring compatibility with the latest technologies, enhanced functionality and ease of use.”

Upgrades and enhancements incorporated within Pinnacle 10.0 include support for both Microsoft’s SQL Express 2008 R2 and SQL Express Management Studio as well as compatibility with the latest operating systems including Windows 10.  

Improvements In GUI And System Settings

Ease of use has been improved through a variety of upgrades including a new and improved GUI; a time zone summary added to the time zones screen; and support for both the server and a client workstation as an integrated biometric enrollment station. The addition of the Schlage parent PIM address to the door properties screen allows efficient configuration of Schlage wireless lockset models from a single location within Pinnacle. Additions to the Otis Elevator interface include new database tables and an updated user manual. Enhanced database partitioning has also been added that automatically shares new cardholders with selected partitions.

System settings improvements include support for the AC1700 Controller web configuration from within Pinnacle, including reversing the red/green reader LED color; the AC1700 web main controller daily reboot function has been added to main controller properties; and the AC1700 web door REX input handling property has been added to door properties. Existing systems will maintain their previous configuration until Pinnacle has been programed with the new functionality, after which Pinnacle will control all logic.
