Additional System Configurations
Wi-Q AMS supports various system configurations. For example, some locations
at your segment may already be hard-wired with legacy equipment or additional
input or output devices. You can also use a Wireless Access Controller, hard-
wired to a controller and strike, and wirelessly communicate back to a Portal
Gateway.
For more information about various applications you can adapt for use with Wi-Q
AMS, see “Hardware Overview” on page 13.
Software Overview
Wi-Q AMS provides powerful tools to manage your system: Wi-Q AMS Configura-
tor, Transactions, and Statistics Monitor help you configure your settings, monitor
transactions in the system, and verify system hardware performance. You can view
and create reports from all applications and perform archivals and imports using Wi-Q
AMS Administrator.
If you are the Program Administrator responsible for setting up communications
between AMS software and system Portals and controllers; you will spend most
of your time using the Configurator module. If you are in personnel or security, you
may be the person who adds users to the system and gives them access privileg-
es and IDs. You will spend most of your time on the Users tab of the Configurator.
If you are responsible to oversee security for your organization, you will monitor
all access and alarm activity using the Transactions module. If you are a Systems
Administrator responsible to ensure the wireless network is operating at maxi-
mum performance, you will use the Statistics Monitor and Administrator modules.
If your organization is small, you may use all applications. Regardless of the tasks
you are responsible to perform, you can view and print reports from all applica-
tions using the Reports module.
