Associations |
Associations is a mechanism to logically group devices. When one of the devices in the association changes its state the other devices in the association are made available. For example, an association could include a door and two cameras in the same area. If the door is opened a direct link is made to the two cameras in that association. This feature is required for the EntraPass Go Install application.
NOTE: A maximum of 8 devices are supported in each association.
To create a new association complete the following steps.
1 - Select the Associations button under the Devices tab.
2 - Click the New button to create a new association.
3 - Add a descriptive name to the association. For example "Main Entrance".
4 - Each tab contains a list of supported devices under that category. For example, under the Doors tab, all supported doors are displayed. Select the check boxes of the devices you want to add to the association.
NOTE: Doors, Inputs, Relays, Cameras (Exaxq only), Partitions (DSC only), and Zones (DSC only) are supported in associations.
5 - Click the Save button to save the association.
6 - To remove an association, select the association from the drop-down list and select the Delete button.
7 - To modify an association, select the association from the drop-down list, make changes and click the Save button.
NOTE: If a camera and door are added to an association, that camera is also automatically added to that door's definition. If the camera was previously added to another door, a video view will be automatically added to the doors definition. If more than one camera is added to a door the first camera will be added to the door's definition.
