Chapter 1 Introduction Access Control with WIN-PAK WIN-PAK Features Software Concepts
WIN-PAK User Guide
Introduction Access Control with WIN-PAK Access control is computerized control over entry into any area that can be secured with a lock and key. Entry is only allowed to authorized people at authorized times. Control of who is allowed to come and go is easily maintained. The weakness of a lock and key security system is the physical key. The key is readily duplicated and gives access to anyone who holds it. There is no control of when a key is used and no record of its use.
WIN-PAK User Guide WIN-PAK Features WIN-PAK is state-of-the-art access control software that was specifically designed to run under the Windows 2000/Windows XP operating systems. This makes it possible for WIN-PAK to take full advantage of the speed, flexibility, and reliability of networked computers. WIN-PAK has features designed to handle large and complex installations.
Introduction 31 WIN-PAK database information is easily edited, searched, and sorted. A wide variety of reports can be exported, viewed on screen or printed. Saved report templates can be printed or emailed on a schedule. Access Control Management WIN-PAK uses Floor Plan views to monitor and control many of the daily functions of access control. The floor plan provides a graphic representation of devices including doors, panels, inputs, outputs and CCTV equipment.
WIN-PAK User Guide WIN-PAK includes a full-featured badge layout utility for the design, creation and printing of badges. This includes two-sided printing and bulk printing of badges. Magnetic stripe encoding [up to three tracks], barcoding, multiple images, and signatures can be placed on a badge.Video images can be captured in real time or imported from another source. High resolution digital images, photo cropping and ghosting of images are all supported.
Introduction The Control Map provides another user-config ured means of controlling devices. The user defines the Control Map by adding devices to a branching tree structure in Control Area. Devices can be controlled from the Control Map view. Other on-screen views include live CCTV monitoring, Digital Video and Auto Card Lookup, which automatically displays a picture and information about a card holder when their card is presented at a designated reader.
WIN-PAK User Guide Abstract Devices An abstract device (ADV) is a logical representation of a physical device (e.g., a communication server, control panel, door or CCTV switcher). Similar in appearance to an icon, an ADV is associated with an actual device in your access control system. ADVs provide an interface for monitoring the status and controlling the actions of a physical device from the Control Map, Floor Plan or Alarm View. Enhanced ADVs are placed on a Floor Plan Background.
Introduction 35 Floor Plan View Floor Plans provide a user interface for controlling and monitoring the system. The Floor Plan views can be tailored to the specific needs of your access control system. Multiple Floor Plans can be opened and viewed simultaneously. Floor plans can contain links to other floor plans for a different or more detailed view. In addition, the Floor Plan view can contain links to Alarm and Event views, as well as a special field for text information.
WIN-PAK User Guide Except for the device tree, the tree defines the hierarchy of resources, not the resources themselves. For example, an Access Level is defined as a list of readers. But rather than being displayed in a standard list, the readers are mapped on a data tree. The highest level branch can be defined as an entire office complex. Branching off from the office complex is the President's suite, the Accounting Department, the Production Area, and the Distribution Center.
Introduction 37 These modules can be installed on one computer or on different machines on a network. Communications are handled by one or more communication servers; the databases can be handled by the database server on a separate computer; and the user interface can be installed on one or more computers that serve as workstations. This provides a distribution of system activities and processes among the defined computers, thereby improving system performance significantly.
WIN-PAK User Guide Command File, Guard Tour, Muster and Schedule Servers In addition to the three main program modules, WIN-PAK has four other servers: the Command File Server, Guard Tour Server, Muster Server and the Schedule Server. These servers are normally installed on the same machine as the Database Server. In Windows 2000/XP they run as services and are transparent to the end user. They are launched on start-up and their task bar buttons are not visible.
Chapter 2 Installation System Requirements WIN-PAK Installation Licensing and Registration
WIN-PAK User Guide
Installation 41 System Requirements Operating System WIN-PAK is a 32-bit application designed to run in a Windows 2000/Windows XP environment.

Programming 175 Programming Overview A great deal of planning is advised when setting up any access control system, even one that is rather simple. Use the following outline as a guide while planning your system and gathering the necessary information before you begin configuring your system. Databases in WIN-PAK store, organize, and retrieve information for your access control system. They are interrelated and while programming sequences can vary, there are certain dependencies.
WIN-PAK User Guide 1 - Password Protect the Admin Operator The Admin Operator is used to set up the system, and the security of the system should be protected by giving the Admin Operator a password. See “Passwords” section further ahead in this chapter for instructions on password-protecting your Admin password. !WARNING! Failure to change the manufacturer’s default password greatly compromises the security of your system! It is also recommended to delete/change the Admin Operator name.
Programming 177 A Holiday Group is a selection of days designated as holidays. They must be defined in the Holiday database, then be selected in the time zone definition of the appropriate control panel. 4 - Define the Device Map Devices must be defined and added to the system via the Device Map. It is not necessary to have all the devices operational before they are defined. Devices include communication hardware, servers, panels, readers, and CCTV equipment.
WIN-PAK User Guide You will enter a definition for the type of communication the loop uses (e.g., RS-232 or RS485), and the communication settings for your com ports or TCP/IP address. Once a loop is added to a Communication Server, panels can be added to the loop. Panels are added to communication loops. The panel definition includes basic information on the type of panel (e.g.
Programming Control Areas are used to partition devices for Operator Level definitions. Communication server, loops, panels, input points, output points, groups, and readers are added to Control Areas by placing them on a tree structure (which is eventually used to create the Control Map). Tracking Areas are sections of a facility defined by selecting designated readers. Card reads within this area are recorded and can be seen in the Tracking and Muster view.
WIN-PAK User Guide The Guard Tour definition sets the amount of time the guard has to get from one check point to the next. Alarms can be defined and priorities set for early arrival, late arrival, unsequenced, or missed check points. An Unsequenced Guard Tour is defined as a series of check points that must be activated without required time or sequencing. 8 - Command File Database Text files containing device instructions are stored in the Command File database.
Programming 181 Keep the following in mind when setting up passwords: • Passwords can be up to 20 characters length, and are case sensitive • For the greatest security, use a combination of both letters and numbers for your password • Do not use familiar terms such as your company name, your name, initials, or birth date A simple strategy for choosing a password that is both easy to remember, but hard to decode is to pick a simple phrase preceded or followed by one or more numbers.
WIN-PAK User Guide Working with Accounts At least one account must be created in order to begin setting up your access control system.

WIN-PAK User Guide Configuring a PRO-2200 Intelligent Controller A PRO-2200 Intelligent Controller can be added to a PRO-2200 Loop, a PRO-2200 Modem Pool, or directly to a Communication Server. A direct connection to the Intelligent Controller allows the Host PC to communicate directly with the PRO-2200 panel via a direct RS-232 connection from the Host PC to the Intelligent Controller. Or, network connectivity can be utilized by attaching a TCP/IP board to the Intelligent Controller (Part # PRO22EN).
Programming 355 PRO-2200 Configuration – Basic Use the PRO-2200 Configuration Basic window to name and describe the panel, indicate the controller address on the panel, and set the retry and timeout options. Name and describe the control panel as appropriate. The names and descriptions that you use are not operationally important, as long as you are able to identify them when setting up access levels later. 1 Enter a unique Name for the panel, using up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
WIN-PAK User Guide 3 Enter the Controller Address [also known as the Panel Address]. This corresponds to the DIP Switch setting on the control panel and falls within the range of one to eight. See the PRO2200 Intelligent Controller Installation Manual for details. 4 The Host Retry Count is the number of times the controller will try to make contact with the panel before sending an alarm indicating it is offline.
Programming 357 The panel name defaults as the ADV Name. Select each Action, set its Priority, and make any other changes necessary on the ADV window. NOTE: Refer to the "Abstract Devices" section of this chapter for details on setting up ADVs. 7 When you complete the ADV setup for the panel, click the OK button to return to the Basic window. 8 Click the Next button to continue.
WIN-PAK User Guide Select the connection Type being used [either Serial RS232 or TCP/IP]. Serial RS232 Options These options are only available when Serial (RS232) is selected as the Connection Type. 1 Specify the communication Port to which the Intelligent Controller is connected (on the host PC). 2 The Bits per Second field indicates the communication rate for the panel.
Programming 359 3 The RTS Mode (Request to Send) allows the device on the other end to know the Intelligent Controller is ready to send information. The RTS Mode defaults to "Always On." The "Toggle" RTS Mode applies when there is an RS-485 to RS-232 converter that requires a handshake. The Toggle option is never used for a direct connection. 4 Click Next to advance to the System window.
WIN-PAK User Guide There is no delay if there is something to be sent from the software, or if the panel has more to report. For example: Outgoing commands posted by the application are not delayed. No delay is applied if the panel signals, via a reply, that it has unreported transactions. Reply headers have a "poll-me" flag. 7 The TCP/IP Retry Connect Interval is the amount of time the system waits to reopen a socket after a connection to the network is lost and the socket is closed.
Programming 361 PRO-2200 Configuration – Remote (for Panels on Modem Pools) When configuring a PRO-2200 panel on a Modem Pool, the Remote window is displayed between the Basic and System windows. The Remote window requires you to specify the panel phone number, host modem, and call-in options. Additionally, a password can be added to the connection if desired. 1 In the Panel Phone Number field, enter the phone number for the remote site.
WIN-PAK User Guide 3 WIN-PAK offers the option of requiring a password for remote dialups. The password can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters in length. Enter the password in the New Password field. The system will prompt you to Confirm Password. Refer to the PRO-2200 Intelligent Controller Installation Manual for details on setting the password switch. 4 Call In Options are events that determine when (or if) the remote panel should call in to the communication server.
Programming 363 1 Use the Time Zone drop-down list to indicate where the panel is located. The default for this field depends on the time set in the local system. 2 Daylight Savings defaults to None, unless Daylight Savings Groups have been set up using the WIN-PAK Time Management feature [found on the Configuration menu]. Make sure a group is created and selected here when appropriate.
WIN-PAK User Guide This number can be decreased or increased to provide more or less memory for cards if necessary. 1 transaction = 16 bytes (so 100,000 transactions takes up 1.6 MB of memory). 1 card record = between 20 to 80 bytes. This depends upon the use of precision access levels vs. multiple access levels, and the number of card readers per Intelligent Controller. Adding an extended memory board to the Intelligent Controller will provide more memory to work with.
Programming 365 Open Door and Update Panel Not all cards have to be present in the panel in order to grant a cardholder access when the Host Grant "Open Door and Update Panel" feature is enabled. For example: Card 12345 is swiped at a door reader. WIN-PAK immediately checks the card database to see if the card should have access at that door. If so, WIN-PAK pulses the door lock output so the cardholder is granted access and also downloads the card to that particular panel database.
WIN-PAK User Guide 1 Use the Format # drop-down list to indicate the format number being configured. There can be up to eight card formats per panel. 2 In the Option area, indicate whether the selected format is Not Used, a predefined Default format, or a Custom format. Naturally, any format (1–8) not being used, defaults to the Not Used option. When a format is designated as Not Used, none of the remaining fields on the window are available.
Programming 367 explained in this section. 3 Format Types include Wiegand [five-digit cards] and ABA [12-digit cards]. Format Types are only available if Custom is selected as the option (above). 4 Site Codes are additional codes included in the cards and can be used for extra security whenever needed. When a site code is entered, the panel has to validate both the card number and the site code.
WIN-PAK User Guide that are swiped will now work dependent upon each card's access level. To add the batch of 12-digit cards numbered 1 to 500, a new format is created, set up as an ABA format type. The card offset can then be set to 1000, and this offset number will be added to all the 12-digit cards. Instead of programming card numbers 1 to 500, which already exists in the database, the user will need to program in the 12-digit cards as 1001 to 1500.
Programming 369 1 Indicate the number of bits on the card [# of bits on card field]. 2 Enter the Bits to sum for even parity (indicating an even number of ones in a block of binary code), and the Bits to sum for odd parity. Parity helps in determining if the numbers coming into the reader are correctly formatted. For example: with a 26-bit Wiegand, the even parity start bit is 1, and the number of bits is 13. The start bit for odd parity is 14, and the number of bits is 13.
WIN-PAK User Guide Formatting ABA (American Banking Association) Cards Choose the ABA Format Type radio button if your system connects to a Magnetic stripe reader. ABA cards typically include magnetic stripes or barcodes. ABA cards are formatted using digits. Each digit is actually a group of five bits. Four of the bits are used for the number, and the fifth is a parity bit for that group of bits.
Programming 371 3 Enter the start point for the Cardholder ID digits, as well as the number of digits making up the cardholder ID. 4 If desired, enter the start point for the Issue code digits, as well as the number of digits making up the issue code.
WIN-PAK User Guide The Available Time Zone list displays the name and Description of time zones that have been defined for your WIN-PAK System, but which are not currently selected for this panel. The Number of Slots column shows how many slots on the panel this time zone requires. Likewise, the Selected Time Zone list shows the time zone name and Description, the Number of Slots the time zone requires, and the Slot that the time zone occupies on the panel.
Programming 373 1 Select a Time Zone from the Available Time Zone list and click the down-pointing arrow to move it to the Selected Time Zone list. Double-clicking items in either of these list boxes will move them to the other list [with the exception of the Always/Never On options]. 2 If you are using holiday overrides, select the Holiday Group (or groups) that applies to this panel. 3 Click Next to advance to the SIO window.
WIN-PAK User Guide A number of PRO-2200 Series SIO Boards (System Input/Output) can be added to your Intelligent Controller panel, depending on the needs of your organization, including: • 16-Zone Input/Output • 16-Relay Output • 2-Reader I/O • 1-Reader I/O Each of these modules is configured via the WINPAK PRO-2200 Configuration SIO Boards window. During setup of a new PRO-2200 Direct Connection, the configuration wizard automatically presents the tabbed SIO Boards windows to use.
Programming 375 The module selected determines the subsequent information you must supply. For example, the Reader tab (illustration below) is only displayed when a Reader board is selected for configuration: 1 Use the Basic tab of the SIO Board Configuration window to indicate the controller address on the panel. This tab is also used to set the port from which the board communications to the Intelligent Controller, and set the number of errors before going offline.
WIN-PAK User Guide 2 Individual readers for the panel being configured are defined on the Reader tab of the SIO Board Configuration window. 3 Inputs are status points within the system…door contact inputs, window status inputs, motion sensors, etc. Panel input points are configured using the Inputs tab which lists all the input points available on the current panel. 4 Output points are control points within the system, such as door locks, parking gates, etc.
Programming 377 The Reader Modules are set up using the PRO-2200 Configuration – SIO Boards window. When configuring a new direct connection, the SIO Boards window is empty when first displayed. Click the Add button to select a board type. NOTE: If you select the 2-Reader I/O option, then two readers are available for configuration on this board. Likewise, if you select the 1-Reader I/O board type, only one reader is included on the board.
WIN-PAK User Guide A tabbed window is presented for use in setting up the reader. SIO Board Configuration – Basic Information 1 On the Basic tab of the SIO Board Configuration window, indicate the board's hardware Address. The default value for this field is "1". NOTE: The address corresponds to the DIP Switch setting on the panel (1–8). Each board on a panel must have a unique address. Consult the PRO-2200 Input Module Installation Manual for further information.
Programming 379 2 The Port field is used to indicate the port on the Intelligent Controller where this reader board is located. The default Port is 6, but it can be set to 3, 4, or 5 as well. 3 Use the Number of Errors before Going OffLine field to indicate the number of tries the panel should make to "talk" to the communication server [without receiving an understandable answer] before tripping the offline trigger. This field defaults to 3.
WIN-PAK User Guide SIO Board Configuration – Reader Tab Individual readers for the current panel are defined on the Reader tab of the SIO Board Configuration window. The number of readers available depends on the type of panel that is being defined. Use the Reader tab of the SIO Board Configuration window to describe each reader that you will be using. Check to make sure that the reader is interlocked to the correct inputs and outputs.
Programming 381 1 The Reader list displays an entry for all readers available, and shows them as active [the check box is selected], with No ADV. The number of readers available depends on the type of panel being defined [either single or dual reader]. Remember, any reader you intend to use will require an ADV. 2 The Reader Types drop-down list allows you to indicate the type of reader you have [and defaults to Custom].
WIN-PAK User Guide Card Format Flags & Definitions Data1/data0, Wiegand Pulses This flag indicates how Wiegand lines will be read (if a Wiegand-style card format is used). Trim zero bits Used to trim off leading zeros if desired. You may want to use when reading ABA magnetic formats. Format to nibble array Takes a mag card and formats it to an array of BCD and Hex (start and end characters). You may want to use this card format flag when reading ABA mag format cards.
Programming 383 7 The Pair Reader area of the window is only active if one of the Paired options is selected as the Access Configuration. Pair Reader options allow you to establish an interlock of sorts, by selecting an SIO Board and a Reader. 8 Anti-Passback discourages users from entering with others, without using their own cards. Cards must be used at a designated In reader, then at a designated Out reader before the card can be read in again.
WIN-PAK User Guide Hard Upon an Anti-Passback violation, the card is not granted access and Alarm View reports, "Anti-Passback violation, door not used." Example: A card is swiped for the first time at an Anti-Passback reader. The card is valid and is granted access (Alarm View shows "Valid card, door used").
Programming 385 11 The Delay field is only active if one of the Timed options is selected as the Processing Mode. The default for Reader, Card, or Panel Based Timed APB is zero seconds. This time can be set from zero to 32,767 seconds. 12 The Card Formats available are dependent upon which cards were configured for the Intelligent Controller [on the Card Format tabs]. Up to eight card formats can be selected for each reader.
WIN-PAK User Guide 14 The Online Door Mode indicates the mode in which the Intelligent Controller is operating. Select the appropriate option. For lower security applications, Card or PIN are good choices. Following is a list of Door Modes descriptions. Door Modes and Descriptions Disable the Reader Locked down.

Programming 437 Completing SIO Board Configuration When you have completed setting up the SIO Board, click the OK button at the bottom of the SIO Board Configuration window. You are returned to the PRO-2200 Configuration SIO Boards window, from which more boards can be added, as needed.
WIN-PAK User Guide The ability to view and configure Triggers and Procedures is an exclusive feature of the PRO-2200 Intelligent Controller. In response to a panel event [trigger], you can define a set of actions you want the panel to carry out. The occurrence of the event triggers the execution of the procedure. Triggers and procedures are used to define interlocks [an action on a point triggered by an action on a different point].
Programming 439 Adding a New Procedure Procedures are assigned to triggers, and therefore, must be defined first. Use the Procedure Definition dialogs to build a script of actions that will take place based upon the event [trigger] to which the procedure is linked. Procedures are limited by the type of device or point being defined. 1 Click the Add button at the bottom of the Procedures section of the Triggers and Procedures window. The Procedure Definition dialog is displayed.

If you just want to update selected information do not select Panel Configuration Options. Select the check box for each type of information you want to send and click OK. NOTE: The options available on the Panel Configuration Options dialog are device-dependent and will vary.
WIN-PAK User Guide Panel Initialization Options Panel Configuration Options: Sends all panel configuration information. This resets your panel programming. It is recommended that you use the Select All feature (button) when the Panel Configuration Options are to be sent. Time & Date: Updates panel time and date with the network time and date. You may notice a pause for up to 50 seconds when the time and date are sent because the time is sent at the top of the computer minute up to + 10 seconds.
Programming 455 Initializing Status As the panel initializes, a status window indicates what information is being sent. If an error occurs, the status window indicates which command caused the error. Steps: Indicates what information is being sent. Message Count: The progress of messages being sent. Status: Whether the initialization is proceeding, is successful, or has failed. Cmd Status: Indicates if a command has timed out.
WIN-PAK User Guide Defining Access, Tracking & Control Areas Access Areas Access Areas are defined by adding entrances (doors and readers from the control panels) to a tree structure. An ADV must be defined for an entrance before it is available for selection. Access Areas list entrances and indicate where they are located. The Access Areas are then used to define Access Levels. Access Levels are added to cards as they are entered into the Card database.
Programming 457 1 Select Access Areas from the Define option on the WIN-PAK Configuration menu. 2 Right-click the Access Area folder, and select Add Branch. NOTE: On networked systems, other operators may be adding information. Refresh (F5) updates the Access Area displaying changes made without exiting and re-entering the Access Area to update. Find (F3) is case sensitive and will search from the selected branch downward. Any character or string of characters can be searched on.
WIN-PAK User Guide The Configure Branch window is displayed. 3 Enter a unique Branch Name (with up to 30 characters) for the Access Area. 4 Click OK. The new branch appears in the Access Area window. Adding Entrances to an Access Area 1 Right-click the new branch, and click Add Entrances.

An entrance cannot be removed if it is assigned to an access level. Renaming a Branch 1 Right-click the branch you want to rename, and select Rename.
WIN-PAK User Guide Tracking and Mustering Areas Tracking and Muster reporting allows card holders to be located in the event of an emergency. Tracking and muster areas are defined by mapping Tracking Areas and Muster Readers on a tree structure. People are required to use readers when entering or leaving tracking areas. In an emergency, a muster is declared, and people go to the muster readers and present their cards.
Programming 461 In the following diagram, A, B, C, and D are Tracking Areas. If each area is distinct and not nested (explained later), the area is defined by the readers that allow access to the area.
WIN-PAK User Guide The operator can select which areas to view by selecting the appropriate branch on the Tracking Area tree. If the top level is selected, card reads from all areas are displayed. Reports can also be generated from the Tracking Areas. When a card is presented at a muster reader, it is removed from the tracking area and is listed in the muster area. A report of these card reads can be printed.
Programming 463 For example, if a hospital building is designated as tracking area H, the laboratory within the hospital can be a tracking area labeled L which is nested within H. The two readers in the lab would define tracking area L, but would also be part of the H tracking area. Therefore, an employee who has entered the lab is shown as being present in the hospital as well as being present in the lab.
WIN-PAK User Guide Not Nested If they are not nested, then Readers 3 and 6 define Area B because they allow access to Area B. Reader 5 defines Area C. Nested If we consider these same areas to be nested, anyone in Area C is ALSO in Area B. In which case, Readers 3, 5, and 6 define Area B and Reader 5 is also in Area C. There can be many nesting levels. There could be another room inside Area C, which would be nested under both B and C.
Programming 465 Muster System Precautions When designing a muster system for use with WINPAK it is important to keep the following precautions in mind: • Use a separate dropline [communication port] to isolate muster readers from tracking units. An alternate/additional communication path from the N-1000 to the computer can be achieved by using the N485DRLA (Digital Redundant Loop Adapter). NOTE: Muster readers are not used for controlling a door.
WIN-PAK User Guide • Program the Scheduler to update panel time and date at least once a day. • Create a check list for muster procedures. • Hold regular drills to practice muster procedures. • Test the Muster Report printer. At the Time of Muster • Verify that muster reads from the panel have the correct time and date. • If the date and time are wrong, stop the presentation of cards, and send the time and date to the panel. • Test the correction. • Repeat all card presentations.
Programming 467 In the event that the card database is lost or corrupted at the muster reader, WIN-PAK recognizes all readtypes [Not Found, Time Zone, Normal, Trace, PIN Violation, and Expired] as valid muster reads, provided that the time is later than the previous card read as described above. This function eliminates the need to reload cards or to have host grant enabled to a muster panel during a muster event. Only Valid and Trace card reads count at a Tracking reader.
WIN-PAK User Guide Defining Tracking and Muster Areas Tracking and muster areas are defined using a mapping tool. Branches are added to the tree representing either tracking or muster areas. Then the appropriate doors and readers are added to the branches. 1 Select Tracking Areas from the Define option on the WIN-PAK Configuration menu. The Tracking Area window is displayed. 2 Right-click Tracking and Mustering Areas, and select Add Branch.
Programming 469 3 Enter the Name of the first area you want to define. 4 By default, the area is a tracking area. To designate it as a muster area, select the Muster check box. 5 Click OK. The new branch appears in the Tracking Area window. 6 Right-click the new branch and select Add Entrances. 7 When the Add Devices window is displayed, select from the list of available entrances.
WIN-PAK User Guide Continue until you have added all of the branches and entrances required.

The Badge Object Properties window is displayed. 2 Click the Badge tab of the Badge Object Properties window. 3 Click the Background Image field down-arrow, and select an image from the list.
Badging Importing Graphics for Backgrounds Importing existing bitmap graphics allows an infinite number of possibilities for background images. For example, you can scan a logo or photograph, take photos with a digital camera, or use a graphic design software program to create artwork. NOTE: When creating your background file, remember, the file must be saved as a Windows Bitmap (.bmp), JPG (.jpg), Targa (.tga) or PCX (.pcx) file.
WIN-PAK User Guide Positioning Badge Elements The Positioning tab of the Badge Object Properties window allows you to change the size of the badge or its orientation, determine the alignment of objects within a photo or graphic placeholder, rotate an object on the badge layout, and adjust a background image's position on the badge. For example: To Work with a Background Image: 1 Right-click in the badge background area of the Badge Definition window and select Properties.
Badging Options on the Positioning Tab Horizontal: Places the graphic object in the top, center, or bottom of the defined area. Vertical: Places the graphic object to the right or left side [or in the middle] of the defined area. Orientation: Rotates the selected object by 90-egree increments.
WIN-PAK User Guide Video Backgrounds Another way to create a background graphic is to capture a video image. Your video equipment, including a supported video capture card, or compatible TWAIN device must be installed. Installing Badge DLLs A specific dynamic-link library (.dll) file is required for the video capture card, TWAIN device [image acquisition device], and signature pad used with the WIN-PAK System.
Badging 533 The Open window appears allowing you to navigate through the WINPAK PRO directory. 3 Select the appropriate DLL file and click Open [or double-click on the file].

If you want a particular proportion, enter it in the Aspect Ratio field and make sure to select the Lock Aspect Ratio check box.
WIN-PAK User Guide Grab Settings These settings are applied to the camera when an image is captured. If you are not using a flash, set the Grab Brightness and Contrast the same as the Video settings. If a flash is used, reduce both the Brightness and Contrast settings lower than the Video settings. This prevents the camera from overexposing the picture.
Badging 537 Working with Colors The Colors tab of the Badge Object Properties window allows you to select colors for badge elements. If no item is selected when the Properties dialog opens, the color is applied to the entire badge background. The foreground color is not available unless a badge object is selected. The simplest background to apply to a badge is a single, solid color. Applying a Basic Background Color to a Badge 1 Right-click the badge, and select Properties.
WIN-PAK User Guide 3 From the Basic Colors palette (at the top of the window), click the color swatch you want to use for a background. 4 Click OK. The Color dialog is dismissed, and the selected color is placed in the Background Color field [on the Color tab]. 5 Click Apply or OK to apply the color to your badge. Solid dark colors may not print evenly on all printers, so it is recommended that you use a light colored or white background.
Badging 539 A third common color model is CYMK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), based on the use of four colors of ink to approximate a full spectrum of colors. Many badge printers use the CMYK color model and, therefore, will give only an approximate match for the colors displayed on the screen. Hue, Saturation and Luminosity The HSL color model is based on how colors are viewed by the human eye. Colors are described by three basic characteristics.
WIN-PAK User Guide Color Solid The color swatch shows the color as it appears on the monitor and gives an approximation of how the color appears when printed. Because monitors can only show a certain number of colors at a time, the colors may be dithered. This dithering appears on the monitor only. The color prints as a solid. The Solid swatch shows the closest solid color your monitor can display with its current settings. If your monitor is set to display 256 colors, the closest match is displayed.
Badging 541 If you know the Hue, Saturation, Luminosity equivalents for a specific color, enter those values in the appropriate fields. -ORUse the color selector to choose the color you want. 3 When the desired color appears in the Color|Solid field, click the Add to Custom Colors button.

Chapter 6 Card Holders Overview Configuring Card Holder Elements Setting Up Card Holders Access Levels Working with Cards
WIN-PAK User Guide
Card Holders Overview Simply stated, within the WIN-PAK System, a card is typically a combination of a card holder record and a badge template. The Card and Card Holder Databases work together in WIN-PAK, the separation of cards and card holders into two databases adds flexibility to the system. A card holder can be issued multiple cards to use as replacements for a card that is lost or stolen or to use if cards of different technologies are needed for different applications.
WIN-PAK User Guide Cards Cards are defined by the following properties: • Card Number • Access Level • Status (Active, Inactive, Lost, Stolen, or Trace) Cards can be assigned activation and expiration dates. Card records can be searched and sorted by their properties. For example, cards can be searched numerically [by card number], or an operator can search for cards most recently expired [by expiration date]. PINs (Personal Identification Numbers) can be defined for cards.
Card Holders Card Holders Card holders are the people to whom cards are issued. All card holder information is contained in the Card Holder database. The minimum card holder information is first and last name. However, card holder records can also include a variety of optional information entered into user-defined note fields [up to 40]. If a card holder has been assigned to a card, that information is included in the card holder record as well.
WIN-PAK User Guide Card Holder Movement Between Accounts Card Holders can be moved between accounts by changing the Account selection. The user can select the required account from Card Holder > Basic Info Tab. Once a Card Holder's Account is changed, the status of the card associated with the card holder is made "inactive" with Access level set to "None". However, details like PIN, Issue, Activation Date, Expiration Date, Print Status and Notefields are retained even after card holder movement.
Card Holders 583 Configuring Card Holder Elements WIN-PAK uses the term card holder to indicate an individual to whom a card (or multiple cards) is issued. Information in the Card Holder database is entered in a series of up to 40 note fields which can be organized on any number of tabs. These note fields make up the card holder record, and can include anything from organizational information to personal information, even biometrics, as shown here.
WIN-PAK User Guide The note fields and tabs should be set up before information is entered into the Card Holder database. However, note fields and tabs can be edited after card holders are added to the system. Working with Card Holder Note Fields A note field definition is comprised of two parts: • The Name, which is the label that appears next to the note field on the card holder tab. • A Template, which defines the type and number of characters that can be entered into the note field.
Card Holders 585 The Note Field Template database window lists notes by name, template, and tab [if one has been defined for the note].
WIN-PAK User Guide Adding Card Holder Note Fields 1 Click the Add button on the Note Field Template database window. The Note Field dialog is displayed: 2 Enter a unique Name (with up to 30 characters) for the note field. 3 Use the Template field to create a mask for the note field, defining the type, number, and syntax of the characters to be entered. When a template is used with a dropdown list, a maximum of 255 characters can be entered into the field.
Card Holders The Note Field window is displayed, allowing you to make changes to the Name or Template fields. Isolating and Deleting a Card Holder Note Field Deleting a note field not assigned to a tab is simply a matter of selecting it and clicking the Delete button on the main Note Field Template database window.
WIN-PAK User Guide The Isolate list allows you to make adjustments in the card holder definitions, possibly removing the need for this note. Remove the data from the card holder listed in the Static list. Then remove the note field from the tabs where it is displayed. When you return to the main Note Field Template database window you can select the note and delete it. Note Field Mask Properties Use mask properties to determine and direct the input of information in note fields.
Card Holders 589 The Template field on the Note Field dialog is used to enter mask characters. For example, in the following illustration a mask is entered for a phone number. Entering mask characters in the Template field requires the user to enter a like number of the same character when filling in the note field while setting up card holders. Following are examples of standard input masks that can be used. Mask Descriptions Null String (Default) - No mask. Functions as a standard text box.
WIN-PAK User Guide , Thousands separator: The actual character used is the one specified as the thousands separator in international settings. This character is treated as a literal for masking purposes. : Time separator: The actual character used is the one specified as the time separator in international settings. This character is treated as a literal for masking purposes. / Date separator: The actual character used is the one specified as the date separator in international settings.
Card Holders 591 If no mask characters are entered in the Template field (i.e., the mask is an empty string) the note field functions as a standard text box. When an input mask is defined, underscores appear beneath every placeholder in the note field. You can only replace a placeholder with a character of the type specified in the input mask. If an invalid character is entered, the masked edit control rejects the character and generates an error message.

WIN-PAK User Guide Access Levels Access levels determine where and when a user's card is valid in the system. An access level is made up of a list of readers with time zones. Together these elements define time periods during which the listed readers will grant access at various entrances. The ability to assign cards to a group of entrances eliminates the need to program the card for every reader. When a card is activated, it is assigned an access level.
Card Holders 615 On the left side of the window is a list of existing Access Levels. The right side of the window contains the Access Area tree. Below the left pane of the Access Level database are five action buttons: Add: Used to define new access levels. Edit: Used to make changes in existing access levels. Copy: Duplicates an access level, allowing you to make changes and save it as a new access level. Delete: Removes the selected access level.
WIN-PAK User Guide It is easy to tell at a glance what areas are included in a given access level. Select a level from the Access Level database list (left pane). The branches of the Access Areas are color-coded for the selected level: Red = No access to any door in the area. Yellow = Access permitted to some entrances in this area. Green = Access permitted to all entrances in this area during the assigned time zone.
Card Holders 617 3 Enter a Name for the access level. A name is required. The Name field accepts up to 30 characters. 4 If desired, enter a Description of the access level (using up to 60 characters). 5 Use the Available and Selectd Accounts fields to indicate the accounts to which this access level should be available. 6 Click OK to save the new access level and add it to the Access Level database list. Keep in mind however, that at this point the access level has no rights assigned to it.
WIN-PAK User Guide Configuring an Access Level You can usually save time by configuring a whole Access Area branch, then adjusting individual readers. For example, the Cleaning access level shown in the following illustration has access to all entrances, with the exception of HR entrance. To configure this access level, first grant access to the entire Local Office branch, then go back and restrict the one exception.
Card Holders NOTE: Time zones that are common to all readers in the branch are shown. A time zone that is unique to a specific reader can only be defined by the individual reader - not as the whole group. 4 Click OK. 5 In the Access Area pane [right side], expand the branch and right-click the individual entrance on the branch to customize its settings. 6 Continue with branches and entrances until the access level has the required configuration.

Chapter 9 Database Maintenance Overview Removing Deleted Database Records Deleting History from Database Database Backup and Restore Utility Database Limits and Capacities
WIN-PAK User Guide
Database Maintenance Overview Database maintenance provides tools for monitoring the database and for removing unused information from the database. While deleted records are no longer available within the system, they have not actually been removed from the hard disk. The Remove Deleted Records utility is used to permanently remove them, thus reducing the size of your database. Removing Deleted Database Records 1 Select the Database Maintenance option from the WIN-PAK File menu.
WIN-PAK User Guide 2 Select the Remove Deleted Records check box. 3 Click the Change button and select a date for the Until Date field. 4 Click Today to select the current date, or select a date from the calendar. Deleted records up to today but not including today will be deleted. 5 Click Start. A prompt reminds you to make a backup copy of the databases before deleting records. Click Yes to proceed with the deletion process. Click No to stop the deletion.
Database Maintenance 727 Unwanted history files can also be removed from the databases. This is generally done after you make a backup copy of your database files. Use the Delete History utility to delete history records prior to a selected date. Deleting History from Database 1 Select Database Maintenance from the WINPAK File menu. The Database Maintenance dialog opens on your desktop. 2 Select the Delete History check box. 3 Click the Change button and select a date for the Until Date field.
WIN-PAK User Guide 4 Click Today to select the current date, or select a date from the calendar. History up to today but not including today will be deleted. 5 Click OK to return to the Database Maintenance window. 6 Click Start. A prompt reminds you to make a backup copy of the databases before deleting records. Click Yes to proceed with the deletion process. Click No to stop the deletion.
Database Maintenance The WIN-PAK Backup and Restore Utility is automatically installed when your WIN-PAK System is installed. The utility is accessed from the WINPAK Program group on your Start menu or an icon on your desktop. The WIN-PAK Backup and Restore Utility is made up of three components: Backup, Schedule and Restore. The Backup and Restore utility will only backup the WIN-PAK hardware and history database information.
WIN-PAK User Guide 2 When the Backup Information window is displayed, enter a unique Backup Name, as well as an (optional) Description.
Database Maintenance 731 3 Select a database Backup Type. Complete will make a complete backup and Differential will backup only the differences from the last complete, appended or differential backup. 4 Select a Destination and file name for the backup. If a tape drive is not installed on the computer you can not select Tape. If a tape drive is on the computer, then the option to format the tape is also given.
WIN-PAK User Guide 5 Click Continue to bring up the Scheduling window.
Database Maintenance 733 6 Select the Schedule Type. Run Once will prompt for the time and date.
WIN-PAK User Guide Schedule to occur later will bring up Daily, Weekly and Montly options.
Database Maintenance 735 Daily allows the back up to be run every so many days as defined from 1-999 day(s) at the specified time. Weekly allows the back up to be run on a specified day of the week at a specified time. Monthly allows the backup to be run on the selected the day of the month (1-31) or at regular monthly intervals.
WIN-PAK User Guide Schedule Schedules can be modified by selecting Modify Schedule from the main Backup and Restore Window. To open a list of currently-scheduled backups, highlight a backup in the main schedule list and click on modify. This will bring up the Schedule screens shown above. Modify the schedule and click Finish. To remove a schedule, select the backup schedule and click Delete. Click Cancel to return to the main Backup and Restore window.
Database Maintenance 2 Once the appropriate backup file is selected, a viewer (next illustration) shows the contents of that backup. Select the backup file desired. If selecting a differential backup, the last complete backup is automatically selected, as that is required to complete the restore process.
WIN-PAK User Guide NOTE: The WIN-PAK database contains the listing displayed and file location as defined when the backup was made. When the "View the list of backups made from this manual" is selected, it is expecting to find the files where it last placed them. If the backup file is not found by the restore utility, it will prompt you to browse the computer fo find it. The backup file must be located on the same (physical) computer that is performing the restore.
Database Maintenance 3 Use the Restore list to set the parameters for the backup. Restoring the WIN-PAK Database requires that the WIN-PAK database services be turned off. The restoration process will not proceed if the services are running. Restoring to WIN-PAK Archive Database replaces the existing archive database and allows reports to be generated for the archive. Restoring to New Database allows advanced users to view the database without adversely affecting the current or backup database.

(The GUI does not have to be shut down) 11:00 - SQL maintenance plan runs 11:04 - Script will start all WP/WPP services based on the OS Scheduler.
WIN-PAK User Guide Database Limits and Capacities Database Limits and Capacities monitors the available space for the database [system programming and history, excluding floor plans, photo and badging images] and available hard drive space. Each monitoring feature has two programmable alarm thresholds. One is a warning that action should be scheduled, the second is an alarm that immediate action should be taken.
Database Maintenance 743 The Database section provides current database size information listed as Current Size and displays the percentage of the database that is used. The MSDE database engine allows for a maximum size of 2GB (excluding floor plans, photo and badging images). The Warning and Alarm thresholds, defined in MB (megabytes), in additon to percentages are displayed. The Database Disk Drive Free Space section reports Current Free Space of the hard drive where the database is located.
WIN-PAK User Guide The warnings would then prompt the administrator to take action on the database sooner.To increase the amount of space for other files and programs by 1GB [on the same 10GB hard drive], set the warning thresholds as indicated below: Database Warning Threshold Alarm Threshold 750M B 1000M B 37.
Database Maintenance 745 A typical example: A single 9 GB hard drive is partitioned to a 2 GB C: and a 7 GB D: The C: partition con-tains the OS and WIN-PAK program only. This leaves about 1GB or 50% free space on the OS partition. The 7 GB D: partition contains the WINPAK MSDE database, photo ID badge information, including photos, signatures and layouts, and floor plan information.
