A system administrator populates the access application database with necessary system information, defining the hardware component’s operational characteristics, cardholder database, alarm monitoring and control functions, system display graphics and third-party interfaces. Such interfaces can include security video, an intercom or human resources, to name a few.
All of this information must be entered accurately for errorless operation. Unfortunately, no one is perfect; so time is required to test and troubleshoot the system’s hardware and software during commissioning.
