Programming via SYncomm
Introduction
The SY-780A terminals can be programmed by a SAL program to meet any requirements in the field
of access control. However programming via Syncomm is much easier, but has some limitations. The
SYComm program is written to accept parameters that are grouped into designated tables.
SAL programming provides high flexibility: the terminal database structure can be modified and
programming is performed according to tailor-made specifications. This elite assembler program
know-how requires invested training hours as it is an intricate program to master. This document will
not specify SAL programming method for detailed information, refer to SAL programming user
manual.
Syncomm programming is a user-friendly tool for building routine access control applications. Synel
provides a set of parameters that are logically arranged, stored and were built-in to the program to
facilitate Syncomm programming. The global parameters service the entire program and the rest of
the parameters are designated to build a corresponding application. These parameters are called by
using a special SAL program defined by Synel and are incorporated in Syncomm. The parameters are
basically divided into three levels:
• System tables: Firmware oriented parameters.
• Programming tables: Enable planning the activities performed by the terminal as per user
functioning requirements.
• Data tables: Contain the authorization for employees, time zones etc.
Table quantity limitation is 31 as each table is a file within the terminal.
