To provide Security Center cardholders access
to the elevator system, you must push their credentials to the Schindler PORT database using the plugin.
What you should know
- Information cannot be imported from the Schindler PORT system into
Security Center. Add information from the
Schindler PORT system to the Security Center cardholder profile and then push the
profile to the Schindler PORT system.
- Performing a full synchronization does not remove entities from the Schindler PORT system if they do not already exist in Security Center. As a workaround, remove the entities
from manually from the Schindler PORT system
directly.
Procedure
-
From the Config Tool home page, open the
Plugins task.
-
Select the elevator system from the entity browser, and click the
Synchronization tab.
-
Click the Add an item button (), select your cardholders or
cardholder groups, and click OK.
-
If you want to synchronize a cardholder with more than three
credentials:
-
Click the Card format button.
-
Select up to three credential types to push to the Schindler PORT
server.
NOTE: The Schindler PORT API supports up to three credentials per
cardholder.
-
(Optional) Click the Export button to save the cardholder
profiles in a .txt file.
This file can be used to import cardholder profiles into the Schindler PORT system manually.
-
From the Card format list, select the card format used by
cardholders in the Schindler PORT system.
NOTE: The Schindler PORT Elevator plugin supports the following card formats: HID, RAW,
and Generic Wiegand.
-
(Optional) Switch the Privacy mode option to
ON to hide the identity of cardholders when they use the elevator
system.
-
Click Apply.
-
From the Synchronization mode list, choose between the
following:
- Automatic
- Cardholder profiles and access maps are pushed to the Schindler PORT database as they are added to the
Synchronization tab of the elevator system.
- Manual (updates)
- Cardholder profile and access-map updates are pushed to the Schindler PORT database when you click the
Synchronize button.
- Manual (full)
- All cardholder profiles and access maps are pushed to the Schindler PORT database when you click the
Synchronize button.
NOTE: Selecting either manual option displays the Synchronize
button next to the Synchronization mode list.
-
If you defined your access maps in the Schindler PORT system, click the
Properties tab and switch the Access maps
slider to OFF.
NOTE: If you do not turn off this option, the access maps in the Schindler PORT system are
overridden during synchronization.
-
Click Apply.
