System
If a value has been inserted, only devices with the same
DEPARTMENT value will establish communication and will get
service. Different departments will have different DEPARTMENT
values. Only a device with DEPARTMENT set to zero will get full
access to all devices. Devices with DEPARTMENT value zero are
considered supervisors. DEPARTMENT values are not factory
pre-sets, and can be set by the customer.
5.8.3. Common Services To Several Companies By A Service Provider.
The ORG_ID setting may comprise a barrier preventing access to
all devices by a Service Provider. The GLOBAL parameter is
designed to allow a Service Provider to service several customers.
If programmed accordingly, the GLOBAL parameter will release the
VERIFY command only to a Service Provider. When the GLOBAL
parameter is in use, the seal will ignore the VERIFY command
except for the parameters marked with * in table 5.2.1. The
GLOBAL parameter is programmed during production. It should
be defined and requested in advance.
5.8.4. How To Use Subgroups Of Seals In A Company.
It may be convenient to the User to subgroup devices into small
groups and then access them by group. The ADI parameter is
used for this operation. The default value of ADI is zero. When
set to default values, the ADI parameter is not in use and full
access is available between all the devices. When ADI is
programmed to a different value, only devices with the same ADI
will communicate. The customer can program ADI on the fly.
