Communication software B-COMM
The integration platform
Companies use a wide range of hardware platforms, network technologies, operating systems, and software applications for their IT structures. Organisation and production sequences are often supplemented by systems for time and attendance, shop floor data collection and access control. The integration platform B-COMM has been developed for integrating all data collection processes into the IT structures. Programmed in modern Java architecture, it allows communication between the recording terminals and the software applications, independently of the computer or operating system platforms.
The decisive advantage of these features is that the interface to the partner's application needs to be programmed only once and can still be used on all platforms. Furthermore, the individual B-COMM modules and the software applications can also be installed on different computers.
Detayları
Depending on the application and application area, B-COMM offers a wide range of optional modules. These can be combined as desired for a tailor-made solution.
User management module
The B-COMM user management is used for creating and managing users of this software and for assigning specific rights. The "Administrator", a user with specific rights for system administration, has a superior function and can define other users with their individual rights or delete created users.
Data communication module
The data communication defines the maximum number of terminals that can be logged on. This modules guarantees and realizes the transfer of recorded data (booking data) from terminals to application. The data communication can be purchased in different scales.
Terminal Status module
Terminal Status is a program that can be installed on any computer in the network. The system administrator can then see the communication states of the different terminals (e.g. "can be accessed/cannot be accessed via the network"), terminal errors or alarms (e.g. "Vandalism: terminal open") or even door alarms (e.g. "door break-in"). The system administrator may select or define the state he/she considers most important.
CardLink module
This module is integrated in the partner application and thus expands your application by a standalone access control. The virtual network "Kaba CardLink" makes it possible to integrate the different wireless door components for access control in the partner solution to obtain an integral system.
Biometric module
This module allows using a biometric solution by means of fingerprints. It is used - in addition to the terminals - to register finger templates, to manage them and to transfer them by means of B-COMM to the connected biometric terminals and subterminals.
AVISO module (user interface for security and property protection)
This programming module simplifies creating and modifying AVISO routines (extension of the firmware functionality of terminals).
Several application interfaces module
This option allows defining more than one online application. The entered data records, e.g. from time & attendance, SFDC or access control, can be distributed and transferred to the different applications depending on the record type / record type modification.
E-mail server module
B-COMM allows establishing a connection to an e-mail server. When any predefined event occurs, e.g. start/stop of a stream, an e-mail is automatically sent to the configured addressees. This allows reacting fast and in a competent way to any occurring faults.
Parameter setting software
The parameter editor allows customizing the numerous functions of the terminal for different requirements. You may edit the initialized parameters or factory settings according to your requirements and save them in the terminal. If an FTP connection (File Transfer Program) is available, it can be used for data transfer.
