Section 7: Database Setup
7-7
CARD HOLDER NAMES
Card holder names cannot be longer than 12 characters and each must be unique. An individual
can be assigned more than one key code, but the name must be entered in the same manner
for each assigned key.
ACCESS CODES
The setup sheets in Appendix B for the access command should be filled out before specific
access code numbers can be assigned to individual card holders. Only one access code can be
assigned to each key code. Then, after the database is set up and the system is placed in
operation, the Alto 818 will grant access to a door only on the days and at the times specified in
the access code assigned to the individuals key code.
7.2.4 LISTING ACCESS CODES
Using the list of card holders, the access codes can be defined. After the list of card holders is
compiled, the individual card holders can be sorted into groups with the same access requirements.
Typical groups might be: Regular employees, janitorial personnel, company executives,
maintenance workers, and security guards. Each card holder group can then be assigned a
different access code. A maximum of 120 access codes can be set up and assigned on the Alto
818 system.
7.2.5 REPORTS
Reports perform two functions. They provide a record of log events and can be used to initiate
system actions.
LOG EVENTS
There are a total of 18 activities which can be assigned a report number: Thirteen with the DOOR
command, one with the MONITOR command, and four with the SYSTEM command. These are
shown in Table 6-1.
