5 Amag-Symmetry Configuration
5.1 Overview
The ZK Opera Service is a Windows Service which communicates with access
control systems in order to synchronize personnel and card records from those
systems to Opera Personnel records on the primary OP-200 Opera Reader.
Support exists for Amag Symmetry as well as other Access Control systems.
There is a common installation and service handling all systems, with the
system selection (such as Amag) happening at installation time.
This document describes setup and configuration of this service to
communicate with Amag Symmetry. It communicates using Amag’s Data
Connect feature in order to synchronize personnel records between Symmetry
and Opera.
There is also a ZK Opera Service configuration tool which is used to specify the
Host and Port of the primary OP-200 to communicate with. This is also used to
configure the host and credentials to communicate with Symmetry via Data
Connect.
The ZK Opera Service can be installed on the Amag Server or on a separate
Windows machine. Through Data Connect, the service will communicate
directly with a SQL Server database on the Amag Server through either
Windows authentication (SSI) or SQL authentication.
5.2 ZK Opera Service Installation
Extract the ZKOperaHostInstall zip file and run setup from
