Entré Business

Version 9.8.8 | August 14, 2026

New Features 

OSDP LED Color States 

Users can now customize Unlocked, Locked Armed, and Locked Disarmed LED color states on OSDP readers. Default states have been updated to green for Unlocked, red for Locked Armed, and red for Locked Disarmed to align with standard keypad and Remote Link configurations. 

Admin Client Progress Tracker 

The Admin Client now displays a real-time progress bar and percentage completion log during database encryption and decryption routines. 

File Drop 

An in-app file drop feature has been added for Key Fob and Panel CSV Imports in Automation Rules. This allows direct file uploads without requiring mapped network locations on the application server. 

Improvements 

734 Options Tab Relocation 

General 734 options have been moved from individual reader detail pages to the dedicated 734 Options tab to allow for easier navigation and setup. 

Analytics Integration 

The 9091 Analytics Page now integrates directly into the main Entré UI, so a separate connection to port 9091 on the application server is no longer required. 

Card Format Display 

Card Format Names now display in the Card Format management screens, including Edit Panel and View Panel Programming. 

CSV Import for Profile Assignments 

This update improves CSV import workflows for Badges and Personnel to streamline assigning multiple profiles to badge records. 

A new optional Profile Action column has been added to Personnel CSV imports. This allows row-level control over badge-to-profile assignments. The following options are now supported:

• “A” adds the profile to the badge.
• “D” removes the profile from the badge.
• blank preserves the existing overwrite behavior.
• Invalid values are skipped and logged as errors. 

Apache Tomcat Startup Check 

An automated check has been added during the Apache Tomcat server startup to ensure required temp directories exist and file-write exceptions are prevented. 

Internal Cache Mechanisms 

This update removes legacy, manually-created caching mechanisms to improve application architecture and memory utilization. 

Device and Panel Removal 

Device and panel removal routines have been improved so that hibernate filters now remove associated device commands and records without false SQL lock conflicts.

Cell Module Management 

This update adds centralized management for cellular modules, which allows users to activate, deactivate, and transfer modules across panels from a single location. 

Fixes 

Database Upgrade Sequence 

Previously, an order-of-operations issues caused database encryption to attempt before panel import tables were created. This issue has now been resolved. 

OSDP Parameter Selection 

Previously, selecting parameters for OSDP commands, such as Prox On/Off and Send OSDP Configuration, in Automation Rules or Quick Launch with Multiple or Variable filters could cause a system error. Now, selecting parameters for OSDP commands works correctly. 

Web Client Alarm Crash 

Previously, the web client crashed when selecting the alarm indicator light. The indicator now correctly opens the Alarms module. 

Profile Search Error 

Previously, searching for profiles in the Badge Editor could fail when unclosed database sessions exhausted the connection pool. Now, profile searches complete successfully across all selection sizes. 

Bulk OSDP Commands Quick Launch 

Previously, sending bulk OSDP commands from Quick Launch could cause the client to freeze. This issue has now been resolved. 

Schedule Date Mapping 

An issue where schedule end dates and reader protocols in View Panel Programming incorrectly displayed as “unknown” has been fixed. Additionally, the mapping logic for temporary schedules sent to panels has been corrected. 

Zone Number Programming 

Previously, editing a zone number left the original zone active on the panel. Now, updating a zone number removes the previous zone from panel programming. 

Personnel Record Deletion 

Previously, a foreign key error blocked the ability to delete personnel records after batch badge printing. Now, personnel records linked to batch print logs can now be deleted as expected. 

Keypad Bus Encryption Checkbox 

Previously, switching device types when creating a door could prevent the encryption checkbox from displaying when the device numbers exceeded 17. This issue has now been resolved.

Before Installing or Upgrading

Before installing or upgrading to Entré Version 9.8.8, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

• Entré Version — Uninstall all version of Entré Version 9.8.4 or older before installing the newest version, and verify that your SQL Server connection string includes the encryption parameter. Refer to the Entré Installation and Setup Guide or the Entré Upgrade Training for instructions on installing or uninstalling Entré.
• SQL Server Version — Microsoft SQL Server 2016 and earlier are no longer supported. Upgrade to a currently supported SQL Server version and set the Hibernate dialect to SQL Server 2012: hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2012Dialect
• SQL Database Backup — Perform a backup of your SQL database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. DMP recommends that you reindex and reorganize the SQL database after upgrading Entré. It is recommended to make this part of your standard database maintenance as described in the Server Maintenance section of the Entré Server Maintenance Guide.
