Overview
The Picture Perfect computer can be an IBM RISC/6000 system or a
PC capable of running UnixWare. The Picture Perfect RISC/6000
system utilizes IBM's multitasking and multiuser operating system,
AIX.
The Picture Perfect UnixWare Server utilizes SCO’s multitasking and
multiuser operating system, UnixWare. Both use the relational
database management system, Informix, and a graphical user
interface that incorporates X Windows with OSF Motif window
manager or MS Windows Interface.
The Picture Perfect system can use six different microcontrollers: the
Micro/4-P, the Micro/5-P, the Micro/5-PX, the Micro/5-PXN,
Micro/PX-2000, Micro/PXN-2000, and the MicroProx.

Ethernet
Guidelines
Picture Perfect can be run on a remote workstation which is referred
to as an X-Station. This X-Station communicates over a local area
network (LAN) to the host. While there are two types of LAN
currently available for use with Picture Perfect: Token Ring (4/16
Mbps) and Ethernet (10/100 Mbps), Ethernet is currently
recommended for our sites. The following are some guidelines for
specifying Ethernet which comes in three basic types: Thin Ethernet
(10 Base 2), Thick Ethernet (10 Base 5), and Twisted Pair Ethernet (10
Base T).
Thin Ethernet (10 Base 2)
Uses RG-58 C/U coaxial cable. Total maximum run distance for each
segment is 607 ft. (185 m). Up to 30 devices attached to a single
segment. T-Connectors are used for direct connection to cable.
Workstations are daisy-chained with an “in-and-out” cable to each.
Both ends of the Ethernet run must be terminated with 50 ohm
terminator plugs. No other terminators are to be present. If the
distance needs to be extended, a repeater must be used.
Thick Ethernet (10 Base 5)
Uses a special 15 conductor cable. Total maximum distance is 1500 ft.
(457.2 m) without repeaters. Up to 100 devices attached to a single
segment. Each workstation (X-Server, X-Terminal) must use a
transceiver.
Picture Perfect Technical Reference Manual
2.1
Twisted Pair Ethernet (10/100 Base T)
Twisted Pair Ethernet
(10/100 Base T)
Uses a 2-pair 24-AWG conductor cable. Total maximum distance is
330 ft. (100.6 m) without repeaters. Up to 12 devices attached to a
single segment.

Compatible Modems are as follows:
You need to send the following AT commands to the modem using
any communication package (ProComm Plus) on a personal
computer or using a dumb terminal. Both of these methods will work
for using a straight-through cable in the section that follows. This
cable will also work to attach the modem to the Picture Perfect
machine for normal operation when the setup is complete.
Use the following commands to setup the modem:
AT&F
Enter
(Reset to factory settings)
ATS0=1
Enter
(Auto answer ON, pickup after 1
ring)
AT&D1

(Assume command state when an
on-to-off transition of DTR occurs)
AT&C1
Enter
(Track presence of data carrier)
ATE0
Enter
(Disable character echo in command
state)
ATQ1

Switch Settings for Picture
Perfect
The Micro/4 and the Micro/5-P CPU boards have micro settings.
These switches must be set correctly if the micro is used in a dial-up
configuration. As direct-wired micros, the Picture Perfect host
assigns the address to the micro during initial communication
regardless of the switch settings.
NOTE: The Micro/5-PX, Micro/5-PXN, and MicroProx do not have nor do
they require switch settings. The micro address is set using one of the
CASI-RUSCO micro firmware installation tools, MCUTIL, and needs to
be set correctly only for a dial-up or networked micro. Refer to
Chapter 7 - Micro Firmware Tools, for more information.
Micro/4 Switch Settings
This section contains the switch settings for switch block 1 and 2 of
the Micro/4 CPU board and the switch settings for the 8RP board
used with the Micro/4.

Micro Firmware
Tools
The Micro/5 CPU board contains a Flash EEPROM (Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). A personality (i.e.
application code) must be downloaded at the time of installation.
This same procedure is used to upgrade the EEPROM when
necessary.
NOTE: Micro/5 CPU boards are shipped with no personality (i.e.,
application code) installed.
You may use one of the following CASI-RUSCO micro firmware
installation tools in order to flash application code to a micro:
1.
MICTOOL-FLASH (Win95 and Win98)
2.
MCUTIL32 (Windows)
MCUTIL (DOS utility)
3.
Picture Perfect Flash Utility (AIX and UnixWare)
Each of these methods will be discussed in more detail on the
following pages.
Picture Perfect Technical Reference Manual
7.1
MICTOOL-FLASH
1. MICTOOL-FLASH
Downloading with MICTOOL-FLASH
Win95 and Win98 program distributed on CD-ROM (for FREE) and
on the CASI-RUSCO Web site for download.
Features:
•
Flashes all CASI-RUSCO micros (Secure Perfect, Picture
Perfect, and Entry Perfect firmware)
•
Edits micro parameter settings such as phone numbers
•
Checks syntax of parameter settings (i.e., dial-up micro must
have an address)
•
Provides online help
Limitations:
•
Cannot flash downstream micros
•
Cannot flash micros via dialing in
The FLASH utility is part of the MICTOOL program; thus, it can be
accessed from the MICTOOL main screen or a shortcut can be made
to the flash.exe if you want to access the flash utility directly.

The utility automatically searches for micros and will usually find a
micro within 30 seconds. If no micro is connected, the screen appears
as follows:
When a micro is connected and found, the screen will display the
Micro Type and firmware information (if available).
Picture Perfect Technical Reference Manual
7.3
MICTOOL-FLASH
A micro can be flashed with application firmware in two ways:
•
The easiest way is to use Automatic Firmware Flash in the
middle of the screen. Press the button that corresponds to the
firmware you want. (The buttons will display the latest firmware
release on your PC.)
•
Alternatively, you may press MICRO FLASH and select firmware
from a picklist.
Updating the MICTOOL Micro Parameter Block
When a micro has been detected by the program, the PARAMETERS
button is enabled. Press the PARAMETERS button and the program will
read the parameters from the micro and present them on the screen.
An example is shown below.
After you change any parameter, press SAVE TO MICRO to save the
new settings in the micro.

Erasing the MICTOOL Application Firmware
Individual circumstances may require the erasure of the application
firmware. The following procedures indicate the process.
•
When a micro is connected and found, the screen will display the
Micro Type and firmware information.

SMA Utility - Parameter Block
Manipulation
If the MicroProx-P, Micro/5-PX, or Micro/5-PXN is installed on
Picture Perfect as a dial-up connection, an address and phone
number along with modem information MUST be configured. Since
the MicroProx-P, Micro/5-PX and Micro/5-PXN have no switches to
use to set the address, a program called the Switchless Micro Address
(SMA) Utility was created.
Setting the Address
To set the address:
1.
From the main menu, select Picture Perfect by pressing: 2
2.
From the Picture Perfect Utility Menu, select SMA Utility by
pressing: 1
Result: The Utility waits for an answer from a switchless micro
that contains Picture Perfect Application Code.
— If the attached switchless micro contains Picture Perfect
Direct Application Code, the address of No Address for this
micro is posted in the top section of the screen entitled
Configuration currently saved in the Micro:. The Address of
No Address is a correct address for Picture Perfect which
will assign the address.
— If the attached switchless micro contains Picture Perfect
Dial-up Application Code, one or more of the following
messages will be displayed which simply means that a
connection is being established with the micro:
(+++) - Dialup Micro Found. Please Wait....
(ATD) - Dialup Micro Found. Please Wait....
(AT&F) - Dialup Micro Found. Please Wait....

Dial-up Micros
Dial-up micros will not operate without a hardware key. For a
dial-up Micro/5-P, the hardware key attaches to DB9 RS-232
Auxiliary Port J5 (Peripheral Port) on the Power/Communications
board. For a dial-up Micro/5-PX, the hardware key attaches to JP2 on
the CPU board.
Switches 1 and 2 (Modem Type) must be OFF for Hayes compatible
modem on SW2 for the M/4-P and SW1 for the M/5-P and M/5-PX
respectively.
NOTE: If the micro is flashed with Version 1.5.9 flash code or higher, the
dial-up hardware key is no longer needed.
Downstream Micros
With Picture Perfect 1.5, you can have micros downstream from a
dial-up micro (Micro/5-PX only). Each dial-up micro will
automatically be sent the phone numbers of up to 16 compatible
modem/port lines at the host. If the first line is in use, the micro will
automatically try the second line, etc.
Preload Utility
The preload utility makes an approximation of the badges likely to
be used by the micro, and then adds the badge IDs to the
micro_relation table. Then reload is used to download the badges to
the micro. If it is anticipated that the number of badgeholders using
this micro is close to the maximum badge capacity of the micro as
purchased, it is not advisable to use the preload utility.

might need to be locked at the line speed used by the port, e.g. 2400
(V22bis), so that the modem does not try to negotiate communication at
higher line speeds and prolong connection time. If you notice that the
time from dialing to actually getting Carrier Detect is longer than 18
seconds you might have to increase the value of the S7 register for the
modem to connect. Also, disable XON/XOFF pass-through flow control.

If the operation of a component is in doubt, substitute a known good
component and retry the system. Always verify wiring against the
wiring diagrams before powering up the system.
Refer to the following Troubleshooting Chart.
IF YOU SEE THIS:
EXPLANATION/ACTION:
Red LED is
always off and
green LED is
always on.
The red LED indicates that power is on and
the strike relay is off. The green LED
indicates that the strike relay is on. These
LEDs are controlled by the input on J1 pin 9.
1. Disconnect the wire on J1 pin 9. If the
green LED goes off and the red LED
comes on, the problem is probably not
with the reader. If the red LED does not
turn on and/or the green LED does not
turn off when J1 pin 9 is disconnected,
replace the reader.
2. Reconnect the wire on J1 pin 9 and
measure the voltage at J1 pin 9. A low
voltage turns off the red LED and turns
on the green LED and strike relay. If the
voltage is low, check to see if the host
system is turning on the door strike relay.
None of the LEDs
are on.
Swipe a badge through the reader and listen
for the beep while watching the yellow LED.
• If the beeper sounds and the yellow LED
lights briefly, the reader has power.
Replace the reader.
• If the beeper does not sound and the
yellow LED is off, check the power
connection to the reader.

1. Verify that the door strike is wired
correctly and that the relay jumper is set
correctly. Be sure the door is locked
when the red LED is on.
2. Remove the wire from J1 pin 9 and place
a jumper wire from J1 pin 9 to ground (J1
pin 1). Verify that the green LED is now
on. If the door is unlocked, the reader
and door strike are operating correctly. If
the door does not unlock, reconnect the
wire on J1 pin 9 and proceed to Step 3.
3. Remove the wires from J1 pin 6 and J1
pin 4. This disconnects the door strike
from the reader. If a fail-safe door strike
was used, the door should now be open.
If a fail-secure door strike was used, the
door should now be locked. Take the two
wires that were removed from J1 pin 6
and J1 pin 4 and short them together.
Note that the status of the strike has
reversed; a fail-secure strike is now
unlocked and a fail-safe strike is now
locked. If the door strike is working as
described above, the reader is defective
and should be returned for repair. If the
door strike is not working, reconnect the

only.
The reader beeps and the yellow LED lights
briefly each time badge data is sent to the
microcontroller. When a badge is swiped,
the reader reads the badge and tests to see
if the badge was read correctly. If the badge
was read correctly, the reader sends the
data to the microcontroller and waits
approximately 1/3 second for the
microcontroller to acknowledge receipt of
the badge data. If the microcontroller does
not acknowledge receipt of the data, the
reader sends the data again until it is
acknowledged by the microcontroller. Each
time the data is sent, the reader beeps
briefly. After the reader has sent the badge
data unsuccessfully three times, it will stop
trying and sound an error signal (three short
beeps). This feature is useful in
troubleshooting marginal installations. A
high level of electrical interference may
cause the reader to make multiple attempts
at communications with the microcontroller.

EXPLANATION/ACTION:
1. If multiple beeps occur regularly, refer to
the installation diagrams to verify that the
correct pull-up resistor has been added
to the microcontroller. In the presence of
high electrical noise levels, this pull-up
resistor should improve communications,
even on short cable runs. If the problem
persists, the use of shielded cable is
recommended.
2. The reader sounds an error signal
immediately after a badge is read, if a
badge data parity error or an LRC error
(message integrity) was detected. If this
occurs with known good badges, replace

Shielded cable is recommended in electrically noisy environments.
If using shielded cable, connect all shields together at the micro end. Connect to ground stud in the lower
left corner of Micro/2/4/5 cabinets using 14 AWG wire. No shield connections at the reader.
If using a local power supply do not connect +12V line from the microcontroller to the reader. However,
the negative side of the power supply must be connected to the micro (pin 2 on the reader port). Keep the
wiring from power supply to reader less than 50 feet.
Switching the external indicator drives to GND activates the indicator. High impedance or +12V
deactivates indicators. These drives may also be connected to user supplied, external indicating circuitry.
Refer to the appropriate system manual to determine whether this connection is required for door switch
operation.
Blocking diodes may be 1N4148 or similar, supplied by the installer and located in a secured area.

Testing the 94x/97x Reader
Follow the steps below to verify that the reader is working correctly.
1.
Check all cabling and electrical connections from the reader to
the microcontroller.
2.
Verify that the microcontroller is properly configured. Refer to
the appropriate CASI-RUSCO microcontroller manual.
3.
Verify that the reader switches are properly set for the power
setting, cabling type, distance, and desired mode of operation.
4.
Apply power to the reader and verify that the yellow LED is on.
You may want to use a multimeter to test the voltage at the
reader’s pigtail connector J1, using ground (pin 2) as a reference.
The power pin (pin 1), data lines (pins 6 and 7) and door DO
(pin 4) should all read approximately 12V.
5.
Check that the proper version of firmware is installed in the
microcontroller. Refer to the appropriate microcontroller manual.
6.
Close the tamper switch by joining the reader and backplate.
When all wires are connected to the reader, ensure that the
supervision function is operating properly (if a supervised mode
is selected), by verifying that the reader is not sounding a short
triple beep every 30 seconds and the red LED is not flashing
slowly (every 2 seconds). If such an alarm is present, refer to the
troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual. Note: In silent
supervised mode, no indication of loss of supervision is
provided, except badges will not be read.
7.
Select a known good Proximity Perfect or Prox Lite test badge. Be
sure the badge is properly entered in the host system, and the
micro badge data format matches the reader. If the reader is used
with a keypad (Models 972 and 973 only), assign a proper PIN.
8.
Check that the door is secure. Present the badge to the reader.
Observe the reader beeps briefly and the yellow LED blinks off.
Picture Perfect Technical Reference Manual

Model 94x/97x Proximity Readers
9.
If the reader is used with a keypad (Models 972 and 973 only),
enter a PIN when the green LED flashes. Refer to the host manual
for instructions on entering the PIN. Observe that the green LED
turns on indicating a valid access has been granted by the host.
10. Open the door. This verifies that the door strike operates
correctly.
Troubleshooting Guide for the 94x/97x
If the operation of a component is in doubt, substitute a known good
component and retry the system. Always verify wiring against
wiring diagrams before powering up the system.
This section of the manual is split into three sections. The first is
applicable to all installations, the second provides additional
diagnosis for unsupervised readers and the final section provides
additional diagnosis for supervised readers.
All Installations
All LEDs are on and the beeper is on (if enabled): Usually an
indication that the reader’s voltage is too low. This may be caused by
having the wrong reader voltage selected at the microcontroller or
too long a cable between the reader and the microcontroller.
1.
Measure the reader supply voltage at the microcontroller. It
should read between 12 and 15VDC. If the voltage is correct,
continue to step 2 below. If the voltage is incorrect, refer to the
appropriate microcontroller manual and correct the voltage.
2.
Set the reader to low power mode if the cable distance is too long.
This may correct the problem.
3.
If the problem is still present, while in low power mode, measure
the voltage between J1 pin 1 (power) and J1 pin 2 (ground). This
voltage should be greater than 8VDC and less than or equal to the
reader supply voltage. If the voltage is too low, correct the
wiring. If the voltage is correct, replace the reader.
10.14
Picture Perfect Technical Reference Manual

CHAPTER
10
None of the LEDs are on: Check that the beeper is enabled, then
present a known good Proximity Perfect or Prox Lite test badge to the
reader, while listening for the beeper.
If the beeper sounds, the reader is faulty and should be replaced. If
the beeper does not sound, check the power connections to the reader
and check the reader supply voltage at connector J1 pin 1.
The green LED is always on: The green LED indicates that the door
strike is open. It is controlled by the input on connector J1 pin 4.
1.
Disconnect the wire on J1 pin 4. If the green LED stays on, the
reader is faulty and should be replaced. If the green LED goes off
then the problem is most likely not in the reader.
2.
Reconnect the wire on J1 pin 4 and measure the voltage at J1 pin
4. Low voltage turns on the green LED. If the voltage is low,
check to see if the host system is turning on the door strike.
The beeper doesn’t sound and the yellow LED doesn’t blink when
a badge is presented to the reader OR The badge read range is very
poor: When the beeper sounds and the yellow LED blinks off, it
indicates that a badge has been read and its data sent to the
microcontroller.
NOTE: The beeper will not sound if it has been disabled.
1.
Models 941, 971 and 973: Check that the metal backplate is
installed correctly. See the appropriate installation drawing in
this manual for details.
All other models: Be sure they are not mounted on or near a
metal wall or large metal object.
2.
Check that the reader is not mounted within 3 feet (1 meter) of a
computer terminal or within 10 inches (250mm) of another
Proximity Perfect reader. The only exception to this 10 inch
(250mm) limit is for 941, 971, and 973 readers installed on the
optional, back-to-back, metal mounting plates.

3.
Present a Proximity Perfect test badge (known to be working) to
the reader. If the beeper and yellow LED still fail to indicate a
valid badge read and send, replace the reader with a reader that
you know is working correctly. If this corrects the problem, the
original reader is faulty and should be replaced. If this does not
correct the problem, the badge is probably defective.
The door does not open and the green LED does not turn on when a
badge is presented:
1.
Verify that the badge and reader are properly entered into the
system.
2.
Verify that the door strike and the green LED are wired correctly.
Since the green LED and the door strike are separate indicators,
this problem is not an indication of a defective reader.
The green LED does not turn on, but the door strike unlocks the
door when a valid badge is presented:
1.
Verify that the door DO is wired correctly. Refer to the
appropriate wiring diagram.
2.
Disconnect the wire from J1 pin 4 (green LED) and connect J1 pin
4 to J1 pin 2 (ground). If the green LED is now on, the reader is
good and the connection to the reader is defective. If the green
LED does not turn on, replace the reader.
Green LED turns on but the door does not open: Verify correct door
strike wiring and operation. The reader is functioning properly.
The beeper is always on and/or the yellow LED is off: The yellow
LED blinks off and the beeper sounds while a key is pressed (Models
972 and 973 only), as long as the reader DIP switches are not set to
disable the beeper.

replaced.
Supervised Modes Only
Reader sounds a short triple beep every 30 seconds and the red LED
flashes slowly (every 2 seconds): The reader has lost communication
with the microcontroller.
1.
Check the reader-to-microcontroller wiring. Refer to the
appropriate installation drawing. Verify that the AUX DO is
jumpered to the READER DATA 1 on the microcontroller.
2.
Verify that the correct pull-up resistor is installed on the
microcontroller.
3.
Verify that the microcontroller has the correct firmware for a
supervised reader. Refer to the manual that came with your
microcontroller for instructions.
4.
Try the reader on a different reader input of the microcontroller.
If this corrects the problem, then the microcontroller is probably
causing the problem.
5.
Replace the reader with one you know is working correctly. If
this corrects the problem, then the reader is probably faulty and
should be replaced.
6.
If none of the above steps have identified the problem, there may
be a significant noise source present in the installation which is
interfering with the reader-to-microcontroller communications. If
this is the case, use shielded wire for reader-to-microcontroller
connections.

Model 94x/97x Proximity Readers
The beeper sounds and the yellow LED blinks off more than once
when a valid badge is presented: The beeper sounds and the yellow
LED blinks off every time badge data is sent to the microcontroller.
When a badge is presented to the reader, data is transmitted from the
badge to the reader. The reader interprets and checks the data
received to make sure it has not been corrupted. The reader then
sends the data to the microcontroller and waits approximately 1/3 of
a second for the microcontroller to acknowledge receipt. If no
acknowledgement is received during this time, the reader resends the
data causing the beeper to sound again and the LED to blink off.
After the third unacknowledged attempt, the reader stops trying and
indicates a communications error. This feature is useful in
troubleshooting marginal installations where a high level of electrical
noise may cause the reader to make multiple attempts at
communications.
1.
If multiple beeps occur regularly, refer to the installation
drawings to verify that the correct pull-up resistor has been
added to the microcontroller.
2.
Replace the reader with one you know is working correctly. If
this solves the problem, the original reader is probably faulty and
should be replaced. If the problem persists, use shielded cable
between the microcontroller and the reader.
The reader sounds a short triple beep every 30 seconds and the red
LED flashes quickly (every 400ms): Indicates a tamper violation.
Verify that the bar magnet is correctly located on the inside of the
reader backplate. If it is, then the reader is faulty and should be
replaced.
The beeper and/or red LED are always on: The microcontroller may
command the reader to turn on the red LED and the beeper as long as
the reader DIP switches are not set to disable the beeper. If the door
status switch input at J1 pin 10 is not tied to ground, the reader
informs the system that the door is open. The system may then
activate the alarm at the reader. If this is not the problem, then the
system software probably told the reader to activate its alarm. Refer
to the appropriate system manual for conditions that cause the
software to activate the alarm.

Permission Problems
Use the following utility fixperm to fix Picture Perfect and Informix
files/programs if you encounter permission and ownership
problems. The programs that you run fixperm against reside in the
/usr/lpp/pperf directory. Depending on what packages need
fixing, fixperm will have to be run against those packages. Fixperm
will also have to be run against patches if patches are installed.

Log Files
Picture Perfect Log Files
TPS driver/manager activity is logged to a log file designated by
log.xxxx where xxxx is the 2-digit current month and day. For
example, log.0912 is the log file for September 12th. The system
keeps log files of the last 7 days, one file for each day. The log files are
under /cas/log. For every new log file created the last file is erased.
Also, when diagnostics are set, the activity is logged to the log.xxxx
file.
When a micro resets, activity is logged to the mic.xxxx and
log.xxxx files, the mic file shows the database records downloaded
to the micro.
The tps.proctl file shows the TPS main daemon process ID,
system config record ID, start of shared memory (decimal address),
shared memory size normally 2000 (in 2048 byte blocks), and start of
Picture Perfect process control block in shared memory (decimal
address).
The tps.stderr file shows the database name, number of micros,
ports, modems, and hosts loaded.
The chkfs.log file shows which file systems have exceeded 90%
usage.
The chkrhosts.log file shows a list of remote systems that could
have unauthorized access to your system.
The following are the log files for the Picture Perfect packages:

logtail is a utility that automatically tails the current log.xxxx file.
NOTE: If you accidentally remove the current log file, certain windows
will not come up like Activity Monitor, etc. To fix the problem, restart
TPS. This will create a new log file.

If the Activity Monitor does not come up, check the rw permission
settings for /cas/log which should be drwxrwxrwx. If not, do the
following:
1.
Log on as root.
2.
Type: chmod 777 /cas/log
Enter
If the /cas file system is 90% full, check the files in the /cas/log
directory. Check the log files and identify the problem, before
stopping TPS and removing problem files.
INFORMIX Log File
The INFORMIX database maintains a log file called turbo.log. This
file contains database check points and error messages, if any. The
log file is in the /cas/db/log directory. View this file using vi or
more to check for errors.
NOTE: When you restart Picture Perfect the turbo.log file is truncated
(shortened) leaving the last 1000 lines.

Boot Monitor
The boot monitor provides commands for loading X server,
debugging, and troubleshooting network connections. After the
X-Terminal is started, to access the boot monitor press Esc twice
before the boot monitor downloads a server. After the ( > ) prompt
the following useful commands can be used:
bp
Boot server from PROMs.
bt <file> <NCD_IP> <host_IP> <gateway_IP> <subnet_mask>
Boots the X-Terminal from the TCP/IP network. You can specify
the server image file, and IP address of the NCD unit and host. If
you are booting through a gateway, supply the address of the
gateway and the subnet mask if you are using one.
Example:
bt /tftpboot/Xncd14c 192.9.200.2 192.9.200.1
Enter
bt /tftpboot/Xncd301/Xncd14c 192.9.200.2 192.9.200.1
