Section 7: Database Setup
7-5
7.2 PREPARATION FOR SETUP
A considerable amount of data must be gathered before a system database can be set up. During
the database setup process, the system requests a number of data inputs. These inputs must
be predetermined since they involve detailed information concerning both the system hardware
and the owners access control requirements.
The material in this section and the database setup sheets in Appendix B should be studied in
advance of database setup to understand the parameters that need to be predetermined. A
meeting with the owner is essential. The access codes and the reports must be carefully defined
before the database setup process is attempted. The database setup sheets should be
completely filled out.
7.2.1 TALK TO THE OWNER
A meeting with the owner must be held to review all system access control requirements as they
pertain to the information required to set up the database. It is essential to obtain a precise
definition of exactly what the owners need to protect with their system and how it can best be
accomplished. Go over the database setup sheets to determine just what data needs to be
provided. Take a copy of the installation plan to the meeting with the owner.
7.2.2 COMMAND KEYS
While the Alto 818 can read WSE 1030, 1040, 1050 and 1060 command keys, 1030 keys cannot
be mixed with 1040 keys. Either 1030 or 1040 keys may be mixed with 1050 and 1060 keys. For
facility code compatibility for any given set of keys, consult with WSE Customer Service
Engineering.
