 GMS Web Client - Operator Guide

Introduction
The GMS Web Client provides a simplified access control management module that can be operated using Internet
browser software.

Note: This documentation refers to Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 browsers. The
GMS Web Client may work with other browsers, however, they are not officially supported.
It is assumed that you are familiar with card management and access control functions in GMS. As such,
this document does not fully detail card management operations as they are identical or very similar to
GMS card management functions.

Use the GMS Web Client to:

Search cardholders.
Create and modify cardholders and cards.
Assign and modify cardholder access levels.
Create and print cardholder access reports.
Send commands to readers.
Capture ID card images and print ID cards.

Note: For GMS Web Client installation and configuration instructions, refer to the GMS Installation Guide.

GMS Web Client - Operator Guide

To access and use the GMS Web Client, you need:

A valid GMS user name and password with appropriate card access permissions.
Mozilla Firefox 3.5/Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 7.0 or later.
All time schedules (time zones), Global Reader Groups (GRGs), Global Access Groups (GAGs) and Floor Access
Levels (FALs) have been correctly configured in GMS.

Note: If operator partitioning has been enabled in GMS, the cards and readers you can access using the
Web Client is dependent on what your particular operator partition allows you to view. This also affects
search results and the total number of cards value, where only cards you are allowed to access are shown
(see Configuring GMS - Administrator Guide, Configuring GMS Operators).

 GMS Web Client - Operator Guide

Logging On/Off
The GMS Web Client supports normal GMS authentication to maintain security. Only GMS users can log on to the Web
Client and, if your GMS user ID is set to be valid only during certain times of the day, this also applies to the Web
Client.
The maximum number of simultaneous GMS Web Client connections allowed is controlled by the GMS license. The
system monitors the number of sessions in use and will only allow users to log on if the number of current users is
less than the licensed maximum. As soon as a user session is terminated, the license allows for another session to
start.
A session terminates when you click Logout in the main page of the application.
A session terminates automatically if you leave the Web Client inactive for a certain period of time. The timer
has a default value of 20 minutes and can be configured as a property of the web application in IIS.
If you do not click Logout, but close the browser, the session may terminate instantly or only when the
inactivity timer expires, depending on the type and version of browser.

Logging On to the GMS Web Client

To log on, proceed as follows:

Note: GMS must be running in order to use the GMS Web Client.

1. Open a web browser and enter the GMS Web Client web address. For example, "http://server/GMSWebClient/".

2. Enter your user name and password in the User Name and Password fields respectively, as required by the
current GMS configuration (that is, using initials, user name or full name).
3. Click Login. The Card Search page displays.

Searching and Viewing Existing Cards/Cardholders

You can search the GMS cardholder database at anytime. From the search results you can perform a range of tasks,
including:
Modify cardholder details and card settings (see Creating New Cards/Cardholders 13 ).
Modify cardholder access levels (see Assigning Access Levels 17 ).
Use SQL wild cards "%" and "_" when entering search criteria to logically filter the search.

Note : '%' is a wildcard representing any number of characters; '_' represents as single character.

Search Syntax Functions:

Search Syntax Description

%smi% Search all items containing "smi".
smi% Search all items beginning with "smi".
%smi Search all items ending with "smi".
_smi_ Search all items with one character before and after "smi".
_smi Search all items with one character before "smi".
smi_ Search all items with one character after "smi".
%smi_ Search all items containing "smi" with one character after "smi".

Note: If operator partitioning has been enabled in GMS, the cards and readers you can access using the
Web Client is dependent on what your particular operator partition allows you to view. This also affects
search results and the total number of cards value, where only cards you are allowed to access are shown
(see Configuring GMS - Administrator Guide, Configuring GMS Operators).

Performing a Search
To perform a cardholder search, proceed as follows:
1. In the main GMS Web Client browser window, Web Client region, click Card Search. The Card Search page
opens.
2. Specify the search criteria using the available fields. You can use any combination of fields as search criteria,
with each criteria being additional filters. That is, search results will have cards that satisfy every selected
condition. For example, all cardholders with a surname containing "son", plus a card number starting with "3"
and having a user type of "ATM". Any fields left blank are ignored from the search filter.

Note: You need to enable the checkbox next to the relevant fields to activate them for selection or editing.

3. Click Search. The search results are displayed in the same window along with general card and cardholder
details (name, department and card status).
To move between search result lists click (forward one page), (back on page), (go to last page) and (go
to first page).

 GMS Web Client - Operator Guide

Assigning Access Levels

You can assign reader and floor access to existing or new cards.

Note: If GMS has been configured to allow multiple access for cards, you will be able to assign up to eight
different Global Access Groups (GAGs) and Floor Access Groups (FAGs) to a card.
Complex systems may involve large numbers of different access level options (GAGs, FAGs, etc) for cards.
The total number of available access level options can be limited to make selections easier (see Limiting
the Number of Displayed Access Items 26 ).

Assigning Reader Access

To assign readers, proceed as follows:
1. In the Access Level page, click the Readers Access tab.

Note: For new cards the Readers Access tab Currently Assigned GAG region will be empty.

2. To assign a Global Access Group (GAG), select one from the Available GAGs list, then click Assign. The GAG is
added to the Currently Assigned GAG region, showing the selected GAG and its contents. A cardholder can be
assigned one GAG only.

3. To add a Global Reader Group (GRG), select one from the Available GRGs list, then click Add GRG. The GRG is
added to the Currently Assigned GAG region, beneath the existing GAG. To add another GRG, select one from
the list, then click Add GRG.

Note: Before you assign a GAG or GRG, you can view its contents by clicking Preview next to the
relevant list The contents are displayed in a dialog box, showing the related GRGs (when previewing a
GAG), sites, readers and time schedules (time zones). You can assign a GAG/GRG from this dialog box
using by clicking Assign.

Performing Common Card Management Tasks

There are a number of common management tasks that occur in access card systems. For example, issuing
replacement and temporary access cards, and deleting cards and cardholders. Most operations are similar to GMS
functionality, except the following:
Deleting a card - Deleting a card from a card page deletes that card and an associated temporary card, if any.
Deleting a cardholder - Deleting a cardholder from a card page deletes that card and an associated temporary
card, plus all cards issued to the same cardholder, if any.
Deleting cards from search results - Deleting cards from search result lists deletes only the selected cards
and any associated temporary cards.

Chapter 1 - Using the GMS Web Client | 21

GMS Web Client - Operator Guide

Generating Card/Cardholder Reports

You can generate, print and export (PDF or XLS, etc) a range of cardholder reports.
There are two major groups of reports:
Transaction Reports - Use these reports to see GMS transaction records based on dates, sites, reader, various
card and/or cardholder details, transaction type and status, in any combination. You can also create transaction
reports on selected cardholders from search results (see Searching and Viewing Existing Cards/Cardholders 11 ).
Standard Reports - Use these reports to see cardholder, card and access level information based on card
numbers.

Generating Transaction Reports

To generate a transaction report, proceed as follows:
1. In the Web Client region, click Transaction Reports. The Transaction Reports page opens.

2. Enter the report criteria details in the appropriate fields as required. For example, a date range, site range, card
number range, etc.

Note: The GMS Time option bases the report on the GMS time stamp in the transaction log (the time the
event data was received by GMS). The Controller Time option bases the report on the local Controller
time stamp in the transaction log (the time the event occurred in the Controller). The report always shows
both GMS and Controller times and dates.

3. In the Transaction Type list select the kind of transaction to report.

4. In the Transaction Status list select the result of the transaction to report.
5. Click Generate Report. A preview of the report displays in a new Internet browser window.
6. Use the browser controls to export and print the report.
There are a number of extra controls or options available as follows:

Control Description
Import Last Search Criteria Populates the transaction report criteria fields with the values used in the last
search made in the Card Search page (see Searching and Viewing Existing
Cards/Cardholders 11 ). This enables you to easily transfer your searches
directly into reports without having to re-enter values.
Reset Fields Clears any previous report criteria fields and restores the default values.
Include all criteria in the Enable to include extra information in the report header, listing the report
report criteria.
When disabled, only the start and end site numbers, dates and times are
included into the generated report.

You can also create transaction reports directly from search result shown in the Card Search page. To do so, proceed
as follows:

22 | Chapter 1 - Using the GMS Web Client

 GMS Web Client - Operator Guide

1. Perform a card/cardholder search (see Searching and Viewing Existing Cards/Cardholders 11 ).

Sending Commands to Readers

The GMS Web Client features reader control similar to GMS 'rapid access' functionality. The 'rapid access' readers that
you can access are configured within GMS (see Configuring GMS - Administrator Guide, Configuring GMS Operators).
You can send certain commands to card readers. The following commands are available:
No Access (Locked) - Locks the reader (and lock its associated Door) and denies access to any person,
whether they have access privileges or not. For example, you may want to prevent any access through a door
during a cash delivery.
No Card Required (Unlocked) - Unlocks the reader and allows access to any person, whether they have
access privileges or not. For example, you may want to allow any access through the door during a fire drill.
Normal (Card Required) - Returns the reader to its default state from a No Access or No Card Required state.
For example, you may have a reader that is currently unlocked (No Card Required command) and you need to
return to its normal access controlled state. Do this by sending the Normal command to it.
Grant Single Entry - Unlocks the reader to allow access to a person that cannot otherwise get in using normal
access control. Once the door closes, it locks again and returns to its normal state. For example, you may want
to allow access through the door for a visitor who has no access privileges to enter the premises.
The Readers Control page also shows you the current status of each reader, using icons.

Icon Description
The reader is in its normal state.
The reader is in a locked state.
The reader is in an unlocked state.

To send commands to readers, proceed as follows:

1. In the main GMS Web Client browser window, Web Client region, click Readers Control. The Readers Control
page opens.

Note: Only readers that you have been assigned rapid access to are displayed. Rapid reader access is
configured by an administrator using GMS (see Configuring GMS - Administrator Guide, Configuring GMS
Operators).

2. Click the reader you want to send a command to. The Reader Command panel appears.

Note: The underlined option is the current reader mode.

3. Select the required command.

4. In the Duration field enter how long (in minutes) that the new reader state will last for. If you leave this field
blank, the reader state will be indefinite.
5. Click Send Command.

Note: Refer to the GMS Operator and Administrator guides for further information about configuring card
readers and assigning reader access to operators.

Special Features
The GMS Web Client supports a number of specialized features, such as page header customization and additional
operator partitioning.

Limiting the Number of Displayed Access Items

If there are many available Global Reader Groups (GRGs), Global Access Groups (GAGs) and Floor Access Levels
(FALs), you (or an administrator) can set a limit to the number of access levels appearing in the selection lists. A
separate limit can be configured for search results. This only applies to the Web Client, and not to GMS itself.

Note: If, due to a defined limit, the number of displayed items is less the the available number of items, a
'!' is shown next to the list label.

To limit the number of displayed access levels, proceed as follows:

1. Open the web.config file (in the Inetpub\wwwroot\GMSWebClient folder).
2. Scroll to the <appSettings> section and insert the following lines:
<add key="MaxAccessLevelItemsListLen" value="1000"/>
<add key="MaxAccessLevelItemsListLen_search" value="1000"/>

Note: The "MaxAccessLevelItemsListLen" parameter applies to unsearched lists.

The "MaxAccessLevelItemsListLen_search" parameter applies to searched lists.
If a parameter is not configured, list options are unlimited.

The value parameter is the maximum number of access items to display in the list. That is, in the above
examples, the first 1000 access levels will display.
3. Save the web.config file.
4. Log off the GMS Web Client, then log on again. The settings will now take effect.

Advanced Site Range Filtering

The GMS Web Client application includes advanced operator filtering, based on sites. This filtering is independent of
normal GMS operator partitioning and, when activated, applies whether or not operator partitioning in GMS is
enabled. If GMS operator partitioning is enabled, the GMS Web Client site partitioning works in addition to it.
The additional filtering applies to card searching and assigning access levels. In summary, GMS Web Client operators
will:
Be shown card search results where the card GAG and FAG site fall wholly within the permissible operator site
range.
Be shown card search results where the card has no access level assigned.
Will not be able to assign access to any site outside the permissible operator site range.
Will not be able to assign access using any GAG or FAG that contains any site outside the permissible operator
site range.
Will not be able to assign access to any site outside the permissible operator site range.
To enable advanced site range filtering, proceed as follows:
1. Open the web.config file (in the Inetpub\wwwroot\GMSWebClient folder).
2. Scroll to the <PARTITIONING_RULES> section and edit the following line to:
<add key="ForceAccessItemFilter" value="true"/>
3. Save the web.config file.
4. Log off the GMS Web Client, then log on again for the settings to take effect.

Customizing the Web Client Header

You can change the header area in the GMS Web Client to suit your organization.

Note: The standard header image size is: 970 pixels wide and 76 pixels high at 96dpi resolution.

To replace the header image, proceed as follows:

1. Create the new artwork and save it as 'banner.png'. It must be a PNG format graphic file.

26 | Chapter 1 - Using the GMS Web Client

 GMS Web Client - Operator Guide

2. Place the graphic in the Images folder in your web virtual directory. To keep the original image, save it with a
different name.
3. Open the Web Client to see the new image.

Chapter 1 - Using the GMS Web Client | 27

GMS Web Client - Operator Guide

Internet Browser Security Settings

To run the GMS Web Client to its full capacity, pop-up windows must be allowed by your Internet browser. Disable
any pop-up blockers and also turn off any additional search facilities, such as the Google toolbar.
In order to capture pictures or video from an attached device for ID cards, Internet Explorer requires certain settings
to allow Pacom video capturing to work. Specifically, unsigned ActiveX controls must be allowed to run and ActiveX
scripts must be enabled.
Versions of Internet Explorer may display a dialog box regarding the Information Bar and pop-up security issues each
time you want to view or access card details. You can remedy these issues by making the the IIS web site for GMS a
'trusted' site with security set low, or set options for automatic prompting for ActiveX controls, downloading unsigned
ActiveX controls, and initializing and scripting ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting, to be enabled (see
Internet browser documentation).
