Malfunctions threaten comp center security
By GENE BROWNING
Malfunctions in the security system at the Academic Computer Center have led to an investigation into specific problems with the system. The Academic Computer Center, said this week.
Staff Renorter
The system is designed to limit access to many areas of the center to staff members who have access cards. A staff member who wants to enter an area must place an access card in a card reader to unlock the door and deactivate an alarm.
The security system, which cost approximately $14,000, also is designed to haru unauthorized personnel from areas where the company has confidential files are handled. Wolfe said.
He said staff members have had problems with the security system since the center opened. "It was hard to know what happened was that doors failed to unlock when a staff member inserted his access card in the room."
Wolfe said although that was an inconvenience, a worse problem arises when the patient's condition is too severe.
"TI IS A serious problem if a staff member thinks a door is locked when it can lt." Wollte said. "We urge staff members to explain, to lock up valuable materials."
He said it was possible that an unauthorized person could enter a limited area.
Wolfe put sheets of paper by all limited-access doors last week so staff members could record when the doors failed to function.
"If readers malfunction and we have recorded information about how they are malfunctioning, then discussion about the impairment of specific parts can take place."
"The trouble has been on and off," he said. "We are trying to find problem areas and resolve these. But we need more information.
Wolfe said the contractor for the security system, LESCO of Wichita, had shown interest in solving the problem, although no final decision could be made until the extent of the problem was determined. LESCO sent representatives to the University for a meeting last week to discuss the problem. The general contractor for the center and the state building inspector also attended.
He said parts of the system may be removed without replacement because they are not easily replaced.
The problems are not unique to the center, according to Wolfe.
"We're having the normal shake-down problems of any new building. We're evaluating the problems. The cards may be operating them improperly," he said.
HE SAID THE problems also could be caused by flaws in the readers or the cards.
if the doors don't fit properly, then the alarm may be activated. If someone holds a door with a timing device open too long, an alarm will go off," he said.
Some doors, such as those to the computer room, had dual security features which required two sets of keys.
"How many precautions do you take before you affect the functioning of the staff and equipment?"
Besides using their access cards, staff members must use a numerical code to open
HE SAID some parts in the system might be inferior and would have to be rebuilt.
But, he said, the cost of repair is the main concern.
WOLFE SAID a button that must be pressed to deactivate an alarm before leaving a limited-access area was one feature that might be eliminated because it was inconvenient for everyone using the door.
The center has had no problems with theft or break-ins recently, he said, and there have been no complaints about theft of computer time since last year.
