 Accessibility HC relay all cards enabled (formerly J16)

All of the previously listed functions can be selected or enabled when adding a panel in the Client software.
You require the following Keyscan software versions:
 Aurora – version 1.0.1.0

Circuit Board Card Capacity
PC1097 and higher circuit boards are defaulted for 45,000 – Aurora - and 32,000 – System VII and Vantage -
card-storage capacity – names not stored in ACU. Keyscan strongly advocates that either the dealer/installer
or the end-user schedule automatic database backups at regular intervals to safeguard all site and cardholder
data. The database backup and scheduling functions are located in the Client software. In the event that the
database is not backed up, the Disaster Recovery utility is unable to retrieve names from the access control
board.
