Installing the Firefox browser
To configure Access Professional
you will require the Firefox browser
directly on your server or on your
commissioning computer. It is pos
-
sible to directly configure the server
operating system on the server or
using a remote desktop connection.
If you use a different web browser to
the Mozilla Firefox, display errors can
occur. In addition, an error message
will appear, as Access Professional
requires the Firefox browser.
Procedure
1
Install the latest version of the
Mozilla Firefox web browser on your
server.
Remarks
• The Firefox browser is already
pre-installed in the Access server
hardware with Access Professional
from V 4.x.x.
• The optional Mozilla Maintenance
Service (silent update) requires a
link to the Internet, otherwise it is
not possible to update the Firefox
browser and this has to be done reg
-
ularly on a manual basis.
Setting up the Access system
Getting started
Important information on the
Access user rights system
User rights in the Access System are
arranged on the basis of folders.
A folder is a logic group combining
users, doors and virtual devices in
order to depict project circumstances
comprising room-based, rights-based
or organizationally-based groups and
the required Access system topology
(e.g. building with several companies
or residential units – every company
or residential unit is collated as a
sub-folder and contains the relevant
users and their devices).
Logical separations between users
must be carried out using different
folders and user rights restrictions.
To allow complex circumstances to
be depicted, a project structure may
be necessary based on folders and
subfolders.
Important!
• All user rights are assigned in
folders. Newly created sub-folders
initially adopt the rights of the high
-
er-level folder once only when they
are created. Subsequent changes
must be manually carried out in the
folder levels.
• Before generating the folder
structure, you ought to have defined
the rights of the relevant folders
for planning purposes. If the sub-
folder is to contain the rights of the
higher-level folders, it makes sense
to adopt a hierarchical approach. In
doing so, each created sub-folder
is fully configured according to the
plans before you insert further sub-
folders. When the folder structure
exists, you should create the users
and assign the devices to the users.
You can then continue with detailed
configuration of the individual users
and devices in this sequence.
Planning remarks
•
Plan the project structure you
require
(folders, users, hardware
and software devices and door sta
-
tions)
in advance
.
•
Take into account the Access
user rights concept without fail
(e.g. door release, calling other
users, which devices are visible in the
internal directory, which users may
release which doors, who is entitled
to initiate which switching functions,
etc…).
•
Plan your Access system in such
a way that both your current and
possible future requirements are
already taken into consideration.
