Device Map
The Device Map [accessed from the WIN-PAK
Configuration menu] allows you to view the physical
devices that make up your access control system and
shows how they are connected to one another.
Physical Devices and Abstract Devices
Access control system devices are identified by
adding them to the device tree. As each physical
device [e.g. a panel or a modem pool] is added to the
Device Map, a logical representation known as an
ADV (abstract device) should be created for it.
ADVs are hardware independent devices, allowing a
management layer between the hardware, WIN-PAK
software, and the database. These ADVs are then
used on floor plans and control maps to monitor and
control the devices.
Each ADV is associated with an Action Group,
which determines system actions such as activating a
command file or playing a sound file in reaction to
transactions from the device. An Action Group can
be edited from the Action Group database to make
global changes in all ADVs associated with a
particular action group.
