Creating and configuring users
A user is a logic group combining
devices in order to summarize and
depict the availability of a person
(e.g. 1 employee can be reached
by video panel, app for iPhone and
SIP video telephone) and in order to
maintain synchronicity of important
functions. A user therefore forms
the central communication interface
in the Access system administration.
A user has a variable number of per
-
manently assignable devices which
can be called in parallel and with
equal rights under the assigned user
call number.
A user without assigned devices
cannot be called. Devices which
have been assigned to a user can be
called direct.
Please note:
Maximum only one
software client (Access in-house tele
-
phone or Access concierge) and one
app (app for iPhone or app for iPad)
can be assigned to each user.
If a user requires two apps, for
example, you must create a separate
user for each app and form a call
group from these users.
The voicemail, video memory and
call lists are directly assigned to the
user. This means that all devices
assigned to the user have
equal
rights
and can access it in parallel.
Differentiation between user
calls and group calls
• The user call calls all the devices of
a user in parallel.
• The group call calls all the devices
of the users that belong to a group
in parallel.
Differentiation between users
and call groups
A user can comprise one or more
devices. A call group comprises one
or more users which in turn can con
-
tain one or more devices. As central
functions of the Access system fall
within the jurisdiction of the users
and the devices can only access
these, the following characteristics
(e.g. different behaviour patterns)
must be observed:
•
Video memory:
All users have
their own central video memory.
All devices assigned to a user may
access it. If an image is deleted by
one device, the image is deleted for
the user and is no longer available
for this user’s other devices.
•
Call group:
In the case of a call
group, several users exist and there
-
fore several video memories. If there
is a door call to a call group, an
image is saved in the video memory
of all users with an activated auto
-
matic video memory. The door call
image is thus stored on several
video memories. If such an image is
then deleted by a device, this image
is only deleted for its users and it
remains available in the video mem
-
ories of the other users.
•
Call log:
The same behaviour as
for the video memory, as the call
list lies within the jurisdiction of the
user/users -> Call groups therefore
have several decentral call logs
which are not synchronized.
Remarks
• For subsequent configuration of
the Doormatic function at the users,
the door station must be recogniz
-
able with a unique name to elimi
-
nate any possible confusion.
• The complete configuration of a
door station which has been given
a new name is carried out at a later
juncture.
• In large Access networks, it is
advisable to proceed one block at a
time (e.g. door stations, users and
devices for storey 1, then door sta
-
tions, users and devices for storey 2).
