Introduction
12 AxTraxNG™ Software Installation and User Manual
1.1.2 Access Monitoring
The AxTraxNG™ software records every attempt to open a door within the
site. Status maps show the state of every part of a facility, while an Events log
records complete details of every time access is granted or denied for every
door on a site, and records possible door tampering and forced entries.
AxTraxNG™ can also produce a variety of access reports, including usage
reports, attendance records, and roll calls. Using the AxTraxNG™ Report
Wizard, users can design their custom reports to meet their specific needs.
1.1.3 Software Security
Access to the AxTraxNG™ software is password controlled. It is possible to
grant individually based restricted security rights for different operators, with
access to only specified elements of the system or with read-only access.
1.2 AxTraxNG™ Server and Client
The AxTraxNG™ system includes both the AxTraxNG™ Server and the
AxTraxNG™ Client software applications separately.
Install the AxTraxNG™ Server on the computer that controls the access control
panels and manages the database.
Install the AxTraxNG™ client software on any PC from which you wish to
access the system. One AxTraxNG™ server can serve an unlimited number of
AxTraxNG™ clients.
AxTraxNG™ is based on a standard Client-Server architecture:
Only the server connects to the database; the clients draw the information
from the server
Clients connect to the server using Serial communication (RS-485) or LAN
remote communication technology
The server runs as a Windows service by default
The client software is based on dynamic docking technology
It is highly recommended that you back up the system database to an
external storage device once a week (see Section 9.4).
