Terminal 97 00
4.4
System connection
This chapter describes the principle of host host connection and applies exclusively to devices
with B-Client terminal software. For detailed descriptions, please refer to the reference
manual of the terminal software.
4.4.1
Communication principle
Communication between the terminal 97 00 and a superior host computer takes place via an
Ethernet network as standard.
Data exchange between the B-Client HR30 terminal software and the customer application
takes place via a communication software. The communication software transmits the data
records collected by the terminals to files or transmits them to the customer application via a
defined interface.
4.4.2
Parametrization
The varied functions of the terminal depend in particular on the set parameters. Parametriza-
tion allows extensive adaptation to a wide range of applications. During parametrization the
currently valid parameters are changed and stored in the memory of the terminal. The re-
quired parameters are provided by the customer application and transmitted to the terminal
in the form of parameter records.
4.4.3
Authorizations
Information relevant to authorizations are provided by the customer application in the form
of personnel master records.
All information relating to a certain badge number or group is stored in the master record.
The master record contains information on authorizations, time profiles, person-related dis-
play texts and the PIN number.
Master records can be stored in the terminal. This allows the terminal itself to decide whether
a booking is authorized. Whether a booking is authorized, can also be inquired by the host in
the 'online’ operating state. In this case, no master records are required in the terminal. Mas-
ter records can be transmitted to the terminal at any time, resulting in the current master re-
cord being overwritten. Individual master records can be deleted by the host. Likewise, master
records can be requested by the host.
The number of master records that can be loaded to the terminal depends on the device hard-
ware and on the licensed memory configuration.
4.4.4
Data from the terminal
After a booking, the terminal generates a registration record. The registration records con-
tains the information who has booked when at which terminal by pressing which function key.
At what time this registration record will be transmitted to the host computer, depends on
the operating state of the terminal.
Certain states and events result in the generation of alarm records and status records.
