2.5.

Initialisation of a reader unit

Every reader unit has to be initialized and to be configured after the installation. This procedure happens with the menu item „Initializing“ In the process the reader gets the room number (e.g. number of the guest room for guest readers) as well as additional data to limit the access (personal areas / groups and so on). Furthermore the clock of the reader unit will be synchronized with the clock of the Handheld Terminal. The data for the reader units have to define on the Messerschmitt PC with the application “HOCAS2004“ and have to be transferred via data transfer to the Handheld Terminal.

ill. Initializing dialog for guest readers

The initialisation of a reader unit starts with the choice of a room ( „Room no.“). Depending on the type of the reader unit, it will be displayed a specified input mask, in which the access data for the chosen room will be shown. This is used for the initialisation and data can be adjust, however the changed data will not be written into to the Handheld Terminals data base. Because of that, modifications of the access data should be done on the Messerschmitt PC. They can be transfer to the Handheld Terminal later.

The input field "log. no." has only relevancy for locker locks and is locked for all other types of devices.

Button„Init“ During the initialisation, the access data will be transferred to the reader unit. Finally, the “Transactions“memory will be reset. Button „Back“ The dialog will be quit immediately.
