Before you begin

  • Test the connection to make sure the plugin is communicating with the Traka Integration Engine.

  2. Click the Traka users tab, and then click Add user.
  3. Complete the form.
    First name, Last name
    The first name and the last name of the user.
    Active date
    The date the user's credential becomes active. When active, the credential can be used to open cabinets.
    Expiry date
    The date the user's credential expires (deactivated). When expired, the credential can no longer be used to open cabinets.
    Card number
    The user's access key card number. The length and format of the card number depends on the type of credential selected for the Traka cardholders and Traka users on the Properties page.
    Keypad ID
    A code number that a user must enter on a cabinet keypad to open the cabinet. The code is unique to each user. If your cabinets don't require a keypad ID (code), leave this field empty. The keypad ID is defined in the Traka system, and is a number from 1 to 9999.

  4. Click Save.
  5. When you are prompted to create a cardholder, choose one of the following:
    No
    Creates the user in the Traka system. This user is not linked to a Security Center cardholder. The Traka user is identified by the orange user icon ().
    Yes
    Creates the user in the Traka system and a matching cardholder in Security Center. The Traka cardholder is identified by the blue cardholder icon ().
    NOTE: If an existing cardholder has the same name as the new one, you will have two cardholders with the same name, but different account information. You can move the credentials to the new Traka cardholder, and then deactivate the old account. By deactivating the old cardholder account, you keep the history of events.
    The new user is listed in the Traka users page and created in the Traka system.

  7. To add the Traka user as a Security Center cardholder, select the user.
