5 Update-Terminal basics
5.1 About the Update-Terminal
An Update-Terminals allow the users to program their locking media themselves. The Update-
Terminals can
l
program the locking media (i.e. Add or delete authorisations)
l
validate the locking media
l
extend the validity of the locking media
l
block the locking media
5.2 About the validation of locking media
The
validation
is a backup function in the V-NET. It specifies an
expiry date
for the locking media.
From this date onwards, the locking media cannot be used any more.
Through the validation devices (Wall terminals, Key-Points and Update-Terminals) the expiry date
can be extended. How frequently the expiry date must be extended is determined by you in that
you specify the
validation interval
in the OMEGA Client.
Example: Company employees must validate their locking media every day at a Wall terminal at
the company entrance, so that their locking media are usable.
Wall terminals and Update-Terminals are connected to the OMEGA Server via wireless online
network; Key-Points via LAN. This enables all validation devices to read all events stored in the
locking media and transmit it to the OMEGA Server. Key Points additionally transmit all other
pending programming jobs to the locking media (e.g. alterations in the locking authorisations)
during validation.
A regularly necessary validation ensures that a locking media that has fallen into the hands of
unauthorised persons, can be
blocked
quickly and easily by the validation devices. Blocked locking
media are not accepted by the locking devices as a rule.
Only locking media which are in service, can be validated.
Example: A locking media is
valid
for one year, however, it must be
validated
every day anew.
The validation is done via the CEStronics Suite. A detailed manual is available in the
OMEGA Suite
