17.0 Event Manager
17.1 Definition
This function is used to create logical links between an event and a response. The
Lock Plan software can initiate a defined response to particular events (a door
opening, for instance) – such as sending an SMS. By entering the day of the week
and the time, you can also define the period of time during which an event should be
responded to.
Examples:
1.) The doorman presses a combination of keys on the computer, and the
entrance door is opened as a result.
2.) A door remains open for too long, and an SMS is sent to the watchman’s
mobile phone.
3.) The alarm system is disarmed, which activates the locks.
4.) An employee at a company registers in the morning using a SmartRelay. This
information can be sent to any computer in the network so that (for example)
Reception can maintain a list of the people present in the building.
Since the computer has to remain switched on all the time, we
recommend using a PC running Windows XP Professional. The Lock
Plan must also be running. You can use a screen saver.
17.2 Procedure
To begin with you set up the response(s) and configure it/them. The following
responses are available to choose from:
Run a file Launch an executable program
E-mail Send an e-mail to a particular e-mail address (person or group)
Network task Edit locks, activate Lock Node output
Network message Transmit a message to a network computer using Event Agent
SMS Send an SMS to a mobile phone
Log file Create a log file
You then set up an event. When you configure this event, you also set up the link to
the reaction or reactions which you want it to initiate.
