If you are using T2 Systems as your parking provider in Pay-by-Plate Sync, you must import the required queries.

What you should know

There are five different queries you must import into the T2 Flex system. You can download these queries from a special Genetec™ download link. After you import the queries into the T2 system, the system creates five “Query UID” values that you must enter into Security Center Config Tool. These UID values are used by the Pay-by-Plate Sync plugin to communicate with T2 Systems.
NOTE: This section describes how to import queries using version 7.5.168 of the T2 Flex application. If you are using a different version of T2 Flex, the steps below may be slightly different. For more information, contact your T2 representative.
IMPORTANT: To use these queries, your permits must contain a Valid Location field and a Vehicle field. If your permits do not include these fields, T2 Systems must create new custom queries for you to import. For more information, contact T2 Systems technical support.
The five query files you need to import are the following:
  • GetFacilitiesQuery.qry
  • GetPermitsQuery.qry
  • GetPermitsForPlateQuery.qry
  • GetPermitsByModDateQuery.qry
  • GetAllPermitsForPlateInAllFacilities.qry

Procedure

  1. Download SC_PayByPlate_Sync_5.3_Plugin_T2Queries.zip which contains five T2 query files.
    NOTE: The 5.3 version of the ZIP file is valid for Pay-by-Plate Sync 5.5.
  2. Log on to the T2 Flex web-based configuration page (each client has a different URL).
    The Welcome page appears.
  3. From the left-hand side menu, click Processing > Query Manager.

    The Import Query page appears.
  5. Click Browse, select one of the queries, and then click Next.
    NOTE: You can import the queries in any order.
  6. (Optional) You can rename the query or query description.
  7. Click Save. Do not import the query as private.
    The Query Setup page appears.
  8. Select Is Available for Web Services. Do not modify the other options.
  9. From the menu above the Query Setup options, click Summary.
    The Review Query Summary page appears.
  10. Click Save and Close.

  11. Click Save And Close. Do not modify any options.
    The full list of available T2 queries appears.
  12. Find and select the query you just created, and write down the Query UID value.
