Defining door names from Siemens SiPass readers - SiPass 3.4.0

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.

3. Save and close the XML file.
4. In Windows, open the Services management console, and restart the Genetec™ Security Center SiPass Plugin Proxy Service.
5. If the SiPass plugin is already installed and synchronized, do a manual synchronization to update the door names to the new formats.
6. When the sync is finished, expand the SiPass plugin role to see all imported entities, and confirm that the names have changed.
