36 Module 123: Protege GX System Architecture | The Protege GX Server
The Protege GX Server
Protege GX is built around a central server and one or more Protege GX Controllers.
The Server is responsible for maintaining the system configuration and monitoring, while Controllers are
responsible for the physical control and operation of the system.
Network Connectivity
While the controllers are designed to run standalone, network connectivity is required between the central server
and the controller(s) to enable configuration and monitoring of the system.
Databases
The Protege GX Server contains two databases:
1. The Protege GX database which contains the configuration for the entire system including global settings,
operators, workstations, right down to the physical configuration of the Controllers and associated doors,
readers, inputs and outputs.
2. The Protege GX Events database which stores the events from all Controllers and the server. These events
are used for live monitoring of the system, triggering system alarms and reporting.
Both databases run on Microsoft SQL Server.
