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.

HWg-SH4

Usage examples

A solution using remote HWg-SH4e/HWg-SH4s units

One of the main advantages of the HWg-SH4 system is the option to use one control unit with several subordinated HWg-SH4e or HWg-SH4s units. In such cases a use of RFID reader with a keyboard connected to HWg-SH4 is expected. Individual doors have their own unique numbers corresponding with a door (key/lock) number or with a number of the rack cabinet (where the number is then used as a door code). Subordinated units HWg-SH4s or HWg-SH4e, which directly control the door locks, are installed in individual rack cabinets.

NOTE: The units (both head and subordinated) can also use relay type objects for example for lighting

control in racks or for identiﬁcation of the unlocked door. This function is not active in default.

A user enters a door code on the RFID reader’s keypad and conﬁrms the code with his RFID tag. The system then evaluates the request and opens the required door.

Modules

A tab for modules management, allows adding and removing of modules. Objects can be also managed from this tab.

A list of currently connected modules is displayed on the Modules page. Only HWg-SH4e and HWg-SH4s modules and Hermes 10 (discontinued) can be connected to HWg-SH4.

Adding modules

Using the Add Module link can add new modules.

On this page it is necessary to add:

• Module Name – the module will be identiﬁed under this name in the HWg-SH4 and HWg-DCD systems.

• Type – type of the connected module. Available options are HWg-SH4e, HWg-SH4s and Hermes10 (discontinued).

• IP Adress – IP address of the connected module. If you enter an address of a device, which was not assigned to any system yet, HWg-SH4 will automatically reconﬁgure the device for cooperation.

• Username/Password – communication between the modules and the control unit is secured with a user login and a password. Username and Password in the subordinated unit have to correspond with details in HWg-SH4.

After adding a module to the system, a conﬁguration is automatically downloaded and the objects can be then managed as a part of the system.

HWg-DCD

The HWg-DCD application is used for centralised management of users and end points (objects) of the HWg-SH4 access system. This application offers easy and fast adding and editing of objects, with options for sorting by groups or locations. It also offers a register of users with options for sorting into groups, and a complete control over access rights for doors and users.

Basic features

• Quick object overview (open/closed, unlocked/locked, set/open)

• Manual door control

• Options for sorting objects into groups by locations

• Options for sorting objects into groups by types (door)

• Complete management options for objects, including the locks settings, RFID readers settings, etc.

• User accounts management with e-mail addresses and phone numbers log.

• Sorting users into groups

• Drag and drop options for managing users and objects

• Remote management options in client/server system

• Server application with extended logging capacity.

• Access log and event log mirroring from HWg-SH4 to HWg-DCD

• Communication between the device and HWg-DCD based on events or periodical checks (Heartbeat)

Ways of communication between HWg-SH4 and HWg-DCD

Communication between HWg-SH4 and DCD is done via a closed and encrypted protocol of HWg-DCD, based on the TCP/IP principle where the HWg-SH4 is a TCP client. Each unit creates a permanent TCP connection after it is powered on and in case that any event appears on the side of HWg-SH4 (loaded card, entered code, door opened…), the device notiﬁes the server. The device also periodically notiﬁes the server conﬁrming that all functions are working correctly (heartbeat). Administrator of HWg-DCD will immediately know about any change of states, but also about connectivity losses. After the device is connected, the HWg-DCD downloads conﬁguration from the device. Based on that it creates a template and changes the conﬁguration according to actual settings of the device. These parameters can be conﬁrmed or changed by administrators.

HWg-SH4

HWg-DCD

Conﬁguration changes are processed in both DB and the device at the same time in order to make work with HWg-DCD more ﬂuent.

Connection between HWg-SH4 and HWg-DCD is caused by any action on the side of the HWg-SH4, or randomly in 30-90s period. Any changes done in HWg-DCD will then be applied in less than 90 seconds. Information window shows details about the synchronization.

HWg-DCD interface

Visual interface of the HWg-DCD is designed to be intuitive and familiar to most users. You can control the application by dragging items between the windows or by using the context menu available under right-clicks on items or in the window ﬁeld.

View selection

Allows switching the view in HWg-DCD and it is the most important part of the application.

• Locations – Locations deﬁne the physical position of objects (doors, readers, relays). Allows deﬁning and grouping of components placed at the same locations. Door objects connected to the same device can be placed in different groups; also door and reader objects can be placed in same or different groups based on their real position. Groups can be created in more levels, but each object can be placed only in one location. Locations can have sublocations to be more accurate:

• Server House Brno

• Building A

• 1st ﬂoor

• Section A

• Section B

• Row 1

• Row 2

• 2nd ﬂoor

• Doors – Shows individual door type objects and allows administrators to group the objects into logical units (HW group Praha, HW group Wien, HW group London, etc.). One door can be part of any number of groups. This view does not show RFID or relay type objecs, only the door objects.

• Users – shows individual users and allows administrators to group them into logical units (HW group, workshop, sales, etc.)

• Add/Edit Devices – Used for adding and editing devices and objects and for their sorting by locations. Groups shown in the Locations and Add/Edit Devices lists are identical, but offer different view on the situation. Add/Edit Devices does not show the locations of devices, but locations of HWg-SH4 and HWg-SH4e control units.

• Settings – Basic settings of the application, server’s service IP address (In case the service is not running on the same device as user GUI), behaviour of GUI for folders browsing and default display options.

Group Window

Group window displays the trees of locations, doors and users. Default view is All xxxxx (All doors, All users, All devices, All Objects). In the objects window you can then see contents of the selected group. All xxxxx and Unlocated (Ungrouped) groups are system groups and cannot be removed.

Objects window

shows a complete list of objects connected to a selected group.
