By default, the door names shown in Security Center are the names of the readers connected to
a physical door. You can change how door names are displayed by configuring an XML file on
the proxy server.
Before you begin
Install the
Genetecâ„¢ Security Center SiPass Plugin Proxy Service on the server that runs
SiPass Integrated.
Procedure
-
On the SiPass Integrated server, open
Genetec.Plugins.SiPass.ProxyService.cfg.xml.
By default, the installation path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec\SiPass Proxy.
-
Find the
DoorNamingStrategy
attribute and enter one of the
following values:
- SharedReaderPrefix
- Displays the names of the readers connected to the door. When
multiple readers begin with the same prefix, only the common part of
the name is used. This is the default.
- DeviceAndDoorNumber
- Displays the name of the device and the number of the door.
- AllReaderNames
- Displays the names of all readers connected to a door. Multiple
reader names are included in full. Choose this when troubleshooting
your integration.
-
Save and close the XML file.
-
In Windows, open the Services management console, and
restart the Genetecâ„¢ Security Center SiPass Plugin Proxy Service.
-
If the SiPass plugin is already installed and synchronized, do a manual
synchronization to update the door names to the new formats.
-
When the sync is finished, expand the SiPass plugin role to see all imported
entities, and confirm that the names have changed.
Example
A
SiPass Integrated system has three doors connected to a device named
DeviceA. The following table shows the configuration of the
doors and readers connected to DeviceA.
Door # |
Reader Names |

Notice that the device and the readers in SiPass have names, but that the doors are numbered
and do not have names.
The following table shows how each
DoorNamingStrategy
renders the door names in Security Center.
