5.6 GAT Relaxx - Operation Software for GAT NET.Lock 7000 System
Note:
This chapter includes only a short overview of the software and its main functions. A detailed description of all
GAT Relaxx functions is included as interactive help in GAT Relaxx. For installation and general information
and system requirements an installation manual is available and included on the GAT Relaxx installation CD.
General
In order to configure, operate and monitor the locker system, GANTNER Electronic GmbH offers the PC software
GAT Relaxx. GAT Relaxx runs on a Microsoft Windows PC (for supported operating systems see the installation
manual of GAT Relaxx). GAT Relaxx consists of a Windows service, which runs in the background and takes care of
the communication with the locker system, and a user interface where the locking system is configured and controlled
and status information are shown.
It is possible to work with only one GAT Relaxx client, which is installed on the same PC as the GAT Relaxx service.
But GAT Relaxx also offers the possibility to install other clients in the network which can log-in and work with the
same GAT Relaxx system and database.
A database application is required for GAT Relaxx. Therefore the SQL Server Express application is shipped on the
CD together with GAT Relaxx. Furthermore the .NET framework with version 4.0 or higher is required. This is also
included on the GAT Relaxx installation CD.
Installation and First Startup
The GAT Relaxx installation CD includes an installation wizard, which leads the user through the installation of GAT
Relaxx. The wizard automatically recognises, whether a SQL server of the version 2008 or later and the .NET Frame-
work version 4.0 or later is installed. If these are not yet installed the installation wizard offers the possibility to install
these first.
Before installing GAT Relaxx please read the installation manual, which includes important information about
the system requirements, the installation process, the service configuration and the setup of the database.
At first startup the database settings and general options of GAT Relaxx must be set once.
It is also necessary to enter the licence and activate codes in order to work with GAT Relaxx. These codes can be
received from GANTNER Electronic GmbH.
5.6.1 User Interface
GAT Relaxx has a user rights management system. Therefore a user name and password is required to log-in and
have access to the program functions.
The work in the GAT Relaxx software can roughly be divided into the following areas:
- Configuration of the devices (i.e. define communication channels, configure controllers and locks)
- Controlling and monitoring the lockers by the end user
For these two areas, separate user interfaces are available, which can be displayed by selecting the tabs "Hardware
view" and "Organisation view".
