Gates

https://<dns-name or ip-address>/gates

In this view, all access controls are shown in an intuitive interface. There are grouping options in two categories. First of all, you can group by location. You can then combine different positions within the location. Individual gates can be added using the "New" menu item.

Set up a new Gate

In this view you create a new gate. The fields names, displayed name and Position of the Gate must be verified with values. Then click on Attachments.

You can now see in the view that you have created a NEW gate, in this case the fourth gate in this view.

In the next step you connect the gate to the server.

https://<IP-Adresse des Dashboards>

To do this, check on the General tab that the correct gate name has been entered.

Then check the following points on the Server tab.

Server#0 (server)- must be set to remote.

Activated slide-switch is activated.

Your server should be entered under Name*.

Your URL should be entered under URL*.

Gate should be entered under Username*.

Your password should be entered under Password*.

Save at the end.

In the next step, please click on System in the top bar.

You will now see the following display, here please press restart once. Now your new gate should be connected.

Finally, you can check the connection in the Status tab. CONNECTED must now appear under State.

Edit existing Gate

https://<dns-name or ip-address>/gates

You are in the same view as where you would create a new gate.

Please move the slide switch "Grid view" to the left.

In the view click on the name of the gate which you want to edit (in the example P1_TestGate2).

In this view, please press the "Edit" function.

You can now edit the gate in this view.

Remove Gate

https://<dns-name or ip-address>/gates

You are in the same view as where you would create a new gate.

Please move the slide switch "Grid view" to the left.

In the view click on the name of the gate which you want to delete (in the example P1_TestGate6).

In this view, please press the "Delete" function.

To be on the safe side, you will now be asked again whether you really want to delete the element? Please confirm this.

After deleting, you will automatically be shown the next gate (here in the example P1_TestGate2). Please click on attachments here.

You will then see in the grid view that Gate P1_TestGate6 is missing and has been successfully deleted.

Connectivity Board

Contact	Type	Impulse	Description
A8	Output	Yes (500 ms)	Person has entered
A9	Output	Yes (500 ms)	Alarms*
E3	Input	Yes (500 ms)	Open Entry
E4	Input	Yes (500 ms)	Open Exit
E6	Input	Yes (200ms)	Card is valid, open the gate
E7	Input	Yes (200ms)	Card is invalid, do not open the gate
E8	Input	No	Emergency State button**
E9	Input	Yes (500 ms)	Open Entry 70%
E10	Input	No	Fire Alarm

*A9 Alarms:

• Gate is out of order, when a mandatory device is broken or a connection to the server is broken (if the server is used in the solution).
• Tailgating or other unwanted actions.
• Entry barcode scanner is broken or it is a stub.
• Gate in in the Fire Alarm or Emergency state. The alarm is produces as a repetitive pulse signal (700ms).
• Gate is open only for exit.

After the Emergency State button pressed, the gate switches to the Emergency State. Then only exit from this state is to restart the gate.

The signal can be set/received to/from a contact from any of the halves of the gate.

Configuration Management

User Interface

The Galaxy Gate is configured through the /configuration page. If the server is running at 192.168.1.221 and port is 8888, the url is:

                http://192.168.1.221/configuration

            

There are two buttons on the page:

Name	Description	Action
Save	Saves the modified configuration to the server	Post
Reset	Discards any changes by reloading the configuration from the server	Get

The configuration is split into sections and subsections:

• General
  • Dispatcher
  • Miscellaneous
• Devices
  • Barcode Reader Entry
  • Barcode Reader Exit
  • Gate
  • Tracking Camera
  • Audio Player
  • Camera
• Displays
  • Display Gate Entry
  • Display Gate Exit
  • Display Entry
  • Display Exit
  • Display TimeInfo

Here are some screenshots:

A subsection is often has a structure with a combo box named Type at the top and some fields that follow. This structure is used for configuring an entity that can have several implementations. What is important is that the implementation can differ in type and number of controls. For example, a simulator of the gate has only two properties:

Architecture

The picture below gives a bird's eye view of the configuration management.

When the gate starts and the Configuration.json is present it is created from the Initial Configuration (base.py or other .py configuration file). The Schema contains a set of data for describing controls in form components:

• Which controls should contain a component
• Validations rules if any

E.g. a form component can contain a text box and an input for integers. The data range for integer should 1-100.

The Default Data contains the initial data for controls in form components.

Roadmap

The features are planned for the upcoming release:

• Configurations page allows you to see the list of available configurations. You can:
  • Clone an existing configuration to a new one
  • Delete a configuration
  • Make a configuration active. Only one configuration can be used by the server and it is called active.
• Apply button. This should apply changes on-the-fly.
• Restart button. This should restart the docker container and apply settings, which cannot be applied on-the-fly.
• Extend the vue form generator library:
  • Make the switch control consistent with the switch controls on other pages
  • Add a control which allows you to manage an array of items (e.g. the list of connected gates). E.g. https://codepen.io/safx/pen/AhCtk
• Import/Export of a Configuration.json.
• Reset any configuration to the default one (by removing the json file

Management of Events

The following sections contains the term Path, which means the path is part of the URL. E.g., path /events for the FMCU Server running under https://server.maxcrc.de/ means

                https://server.maxcrc.de/events

            

Events

Web path:

                /events

            

The page shows a filterable and sortable list of events:

Name	Description
Date	Date and time when the event occurred
Name	Translated name of the event
Gate	Gate if appropriate where the event occurred
State	The state of the event if supported
Category	Category to which the event belongs to
Info	Additional info about the event

Edit this section

Event Definitions Page

Path:

                /event-definitions

            

The page shows a list of definitions of events:

Name	Description
Name	Name
Event Definition Groups	Groups to which the event belongs to if any
Supported States	Can be empty (for impulse events) or On, Off (for the events with states)
Category	Category to which the event belongs to

Edit this section

Event Definition Groups

Path:

                /event-definition-groups

            

The page shows a list of event groups:

Name	Description
Name	Name
Events	Event definitions assigned to the group
Delete	Delete button

An event definition group allows you to group one or more events so that it can be bound to a user group. See Event Subscriptions below

Edit this section

Event Subscriptions

Web path:

                /event-subscriptions

            

The page shows a list of event definition groups bound to a user groups.

Name	Description
Group	User group
Event definition group	Event definition group
Locked	When locked, events are not sent to the users of the group
Info	Any informative text
Delete	Delete button

When a event definition group is bound to a user group and not locked, new events from the event definition group are sent to the users from the user group. The user must have a valid email address.

Example. A user group Alarm events with two members user1 and user2 is bound to an event definition group Alarm events with two events GateTailgating and GateStateFireAlarm. When either or both of these events occur, both users user1 and user2 receive an email notification about that.

Edit this section

Configuration

Path:

                /configuration

            

In order the emails with events can be sent out, the Email section with the information like the hostname, port etc. of the outgoing server and credentials should be properly configured.
