HWg-SH4

Mode selection

For testing of HWg-SH4 in ofﬂine mode you can keep the unit in the default settings, only with connected RFID reader.

Ofﬂine mode

Ofﬂine mode enables users to start using the access system HWg-SH4 immediatelly. Users can be added, edited or removed manually on the User DB tab. This way of use is preferred to be used only for managing a single HWg-SH4 unit with a small number of users.

Advantage of this mode is that administrators of the system can immediately react and open doors or manage users.

Central user management with more doors and online user database backup are not available in this mode. A manual authorization with a master tag is required for assigning available RFID tags.

Online mode

A mode in which the access system is used together with HWg-DCD for managing users and doors. All users are managed through the HWg-DCD application (can be run on any PC, in case the DCD server is available on the Internet/Ethernet network). The access rights are afterwards copied to HWg-SH4 devices.

Main advantage of this mode is its ability to manage large networks with many users, HWgSH4 units and subordinated units HWg-SH4e and HWg-SH4s. Online mode also allows administrators to work with unknown tags, that can be loaded into the system and assigned, after the user is authorized.

Online mode requires a central server and the HWg-DCD application. However this server does not have to be constantly online, in case a permanent survelience is required.

Usage options

Control without door codes (without the keyboard)

One standard RFID reader is connected to HWg-SH4 in basic conﬁguration. After reading a tag with access rights for door opening, the device unlocks the door. One RFID tag can be allowed to open front, back or both doors connected to the unit.

Control with door codes (with the keyboard)

In this mode you need to connect the RFID keypad reader to the HWg-SH4. Each door has its own numeric code which has to be entered and then conﬁrmed by an RFID tag in order to unlock the door. HWg-SH4 then evaluates the code and the tag and opens each door associated to this code and also each door with no code assigned.

HWg-SH4

Usage options of HWg-SH4 and its subordinated units

Up to 16 HWg-SH4e and HWg-SH4s units can be connected to HWg-SH4:

• HWg-SH4e units contain two independent channels (modules) for door control

• HWg-SH4s units contain one channel (module) for door control

• HWg-SH4s and HWg-SH4e units can be combined within one system

• max number of door channels (modules) controlled by one HWg-SH4 unit is 34, including two channels on HWg-SH4

Connected modules communicate with HWg-SH4 using a TCP connection. Subordinated units can be connected to HWg-SH4 on a conﬁguration level. These units are identiﬁed as modules of their master HWg-SH4.

Adding HWg-SH4x module into HWg-SH4 system

Units subordinated to HWg-SH4e and HWg-SH4s can be added through the WWW interface of HWg-SH4 on Modules page by Add Module link.

You need to enter the following

Module Name – under this name the module will be identiﬁed in the HWg-SH4 system

and eventually also in the HWg-DCD application

Type – type of the subordinate module IP Address – IP address of the connected unit Username – username for communication security, defaults to „user1“. The subordinated unit

has to be reconﬁgured manually in case any changes are done. More information can be found in the manual for the units

Password - password for communication security, defaults to „pass1“. The subordinated unit

has to be reconﬁgured manually in case any changes are done. More information can be found in the manual for the units

HWg-SH4

Logic architecture of the system

HWg-SH4 system is built on a hierarchy of MODULE => OBJECT => ELEMENT.

• Modules are physical devices like the HWg-SH4, HWg-SH4e, HWg-SH4s and others. Each module contains one or more objects.

• Object represents door type objects, RFID readers and relay type objects – (Relay type objects chapter). Each object contains one or more elements.

• Element represents the lowest point of hierarchy. Represents output relays, binary inputs, Wiegand interface or RS-232. Elements ARE NOT deﬁned by users!

Door type object

Door objects are used to control locks, lock sensors, for door opening detection or for connecting exit buttons. This object consists of four elements – 3 binary inputs + 1 relay output. Elements create a whole unit and CANNOT be managed separately.

Predeﬁned objects:

RFID type object

Used for connecting RFID readers through Wiegand interface or RS-232 into an RJ45 connector.

Predeﬁned objects:

Both RFID readers are connected independently and types of the readers can be combined. You can then for example connect an EM4100 together with Mifare reader, which would allow its users to use RFID tags they already have. Or you can use one reader with a keyboard at the enatrance to a building and another reader withouth a keyboard at the exit.

More object types can be added on request. If you have a request on object types, please contact your distributor.

Usage examples

Relay type object

Relay type objects CANNOT be controlled manually in standard version of the product. They can be used to control signalization, to identify selected door in large rack systems or for switching internal lighting in telco rooms, etc. To get more information on possible usage options of the relays, please contact your local distributor with your request.

Usage examples

Using HWg-SH4 in small applications

The small applications can be for example apartment houses, small companies, or systems using existing RFID tags.

Apartment building access system

HWg-SH4 can be used as an access system for apartment houses or ofﬁces. A typical application can be using RFID reader for access from the outside of the building, together with an exit button installed on the inner side of the door. To enter the house you can then simply use the RFID tag and to leave the building you can press an exit button. The door can be also opened remotely from individual apartments. The system can also be used to control the gate to a parking lot. Using HWg-DCD is in such cases is optional, as it is not needed for direct administration. However it can notably simplify registering of access tags and deactivation of the lost ones.

Access into a company building with a gate

HWg-SH4 can be used for entry gates on company parking lots. One RFID reader with a keyboard would control the entry gate and another reader with a keyboard would then control access into the building (the gate and the door require differend codes assigned). An exit button can be used for leaving; eventually a second RFID reader can be used at the gate (can be then used for evidence of cars parked in the parking lot). Using the HWg-DCD is optional here as well.

Building access system with availability for other applications

Thanks to the ability to use common RFID readers the HWg-SH4 is optimal for integration into existing systems. For instance in many schools and libraries there are some RFID tags systems already installed. With HWg-SH4 you can easily assign access rights to a building by using the same tags. Also late arrivals are then recorded, the log can also be sent as e-mail or SMS notiﬁcations. The same can be applied in different ofﬁce or storage premises.

Usage examples

Using HWg-SH4 in IT environment

A typical example is use of HWg-SH4 for access into rack cabinets and technological rooms.

Standalone solution for racks

A typical application for HWg-SH4 is in a rack cabinet, not only in individual cabinets but also as a part of a data center. HWg-SH4 unit is then installed inside the rack and the RFID reader is placed on one of the doors (or both). If there is only a single HWg-SH4, it can be simply conﬁgured in ofﬂine mode through its WWW interface. However if HWg-SH4 is installed in a data center where one unit is installed in every cabinet, it is recommended to use the devices in online mode with HWg-DCD.
