Components of Thyssenkrupp integration

Thyssenkrupp Plugin
The Thyssenkrupp plugin is installed on a Security Center server and runs as a plugin role.

The Thyssenkrupp Destination Dispatch Ethernet Security Specification is a protocol proprietary to Thyssenkrupp and is based on UDP datagram communication. Initial communication between Security Center and the Thyssenkrupp system is established through a broadcast message. After the elevator system is discovered, subsequent communication is established in UDP unicast.

A cardholder presents their badge to a DED, Security Center then validates the access rights of this cardholder, and communicates accessible destination floors to the Thyssenkrupp system. The elevator system calls the elevator to the floor the cardholder is on, and then dispatches it to the requested destination.

Security Center Synergis™
Synergis™ is the Security Center IP access control system, and is necessary for the plugin to function. When Synergis™ is enabled in your license, an Access Manager role is created by default and hosted on the main server. The Access Manager role manages and monitors access control units on the system.
Config Tool
The Thyssenkrupp plugin is also installed on a Config Tool workstation. The Security Center administrator uses Config Tool to create and configure the plugin role.
Security Desk
The Thyssenkrupp plugin is installed on all Security Desk workstations. Security Desk operators can monitor elevator activities and events, set security levels, and implement security-level or system overrides.
