4.5 Period and Con ession Memberships


A di ulty o urs if a person has a period type membership su h as a 3 month
general gym membership and also pur hases a on ession based membership for
say spin bikes.

When a person omes in for a general membership workout,

swiping the ard will dedu t a on ession as well. There are some ways to get
around this and we would be pleased to re eive any other suggestions.

23

1. If the on ession based membership is for lasses where the GymMaster


booking system is used, GymMaster will identify if that member is booked
for the lass within the next hour. If the member is booked the on ession
is dedu ted.

This solution will not work if individual members are not

booked into the on ession a tivity in GymMaster.


2. You an have have 2 ard readers at re eption.

One would be learly

labelled as Con essions Only and a on ession would only be dedu ted
if this se ond reader was used. The problem is that the normal reader will
give a ess to the member and you rely on their honesty or sta he king
to make ertain they swipe the Con ession Reader.
3. If on ession a tivities take pla e in a spe i ontrolled area, the se ond
on ession reader an be set up at the a tivity area door or gate. This is
probably the best solution if there is one on ession type a tivity and an
easily ontrolled area.
4. What is frequently done is that a ard is issued for a period based membership and a ardboard on ession ard is physi ally ti ked o as used
for the on essions.

This is not needed if the only membership for the

member is a on ession based one as GymMaster handles this perfe tly.

Cards may be used for a ess-logging, a ess ontrol, and to identify

members in the point-of-sale system.

20.1 Gym Entry Noti ation (Popup)

The full version of Gym Master omes with 'Popup', a noti ation programmes that displays members details as they he k into the gym. This
runs in the ba kground and brings the members details up on the s reen
as they ome into the gym.

your omputer you should start up GymMaster popup. A little i on for

members or entry visitor log windows in GymMaster before it will work.
This is be ause when you present a bar ode, it types in automati ally the
bar ode number and this only works from within GymMaster.
4. If you get garbage on the s reen when people present their ards then you
an x this by editing your popup onguration le from the General
Conguration then Edit Cong Files, followed by popup.

Change

the option transenabled=true to transenabled=false and fadingenabled=true to fadingenabled=false.

81

5. If you play musi for the gym though the omputer that is running popup,
you an disable the sound ee ts on entry by hanging the option soundenabled=true to soundenabled=false. You also need to do this if you do
not have a sound ard installed in your omputer.

20.2 Smart ards

Proximity Smart Cards are onta tless ards, or wireless proximity ards.
They ontain a mi ro hip that identies the ard. The ards have a maximum range of 3-7 m whi h means that in many ases an be read while
still inside a wallet or gym bag. The internal mi ro hip makes it nearly
impossible to forge the ard. So you an be sure that if GymMaster re ognises a ard that it's one you issued.

1. For a ess ontrol the Proximity Card Reader has a apability to operate
an ele tri lat h on a turnstile, gate, or door,
2. The Proximity Card Reader also has small LCD display that an display
short messages to the ardholder
3. Proximity smart ard reader software is started by the  ard sentry programme, the i on for this should be on your desktop. You will need to
plug your reader into the serial port of your omputer.

22 Installation

This se tion goes over installing GymMaster onto your omputer.

22.1 Software and Hardware Requirements


If you are unsure on installing software onto your omputer system or networks
please onsult with your omputer te hni ian/administrator. GymMaster is a
network based system and requires administrative a ess in order for it to be
installed. You will also need a fast internet onne tion.

90

22.1.1 Hardware requirements


A omputer with at least 256MB of RAM is re ommended whi h is at least
500MHz or faster.

Any omputer pur hased in the last 5 years should meet

these requirements. For large s ale network environment or where you require
website integration we re ommend you have a separate database server.

22.1.2 Operating systems requirements

GymMaster requires Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home,


re ommended for a non-windows domain environment.

Windows Vista

also works. Software is also available for Linux on request.

GymMaster Lite works with Windows 2000 also. Windows 95/98/ME/NT


are not supported at all.

An internet onne tion is required for GymMaster Full, the system will
onne t to our servers to download the latest software.

The le system needs to be formatted to NTFS.


If you are on a windows network domain, you need to arrange with your
network administrator to install GymMaster. You need to install the software as a lo al omputer administrator, not using your normal omputer
log-in a ount.

For Windows 2000 Terminal Server and Windows 2003 Terminal Server
you need to install GymMaster on the lo al server, not in a remote session. If your installing onto a Windows Domain Server, PostgreSQL needs
installing manually. Please onta t us for our terminal server install manual.

22.1.3 Graphi s ard and s reen resolution

It is re ommended you have a 15 in h or larger display. Your windows resolution display needs to be at least 1024x768. 1280x1024 is re ommended
with a 17 in h display for easy viewing of all data.

The alert monitor popup that tells you when someone enters the building
or is he ked in needs to have a graphi s ard that supports OpenGL. Some
older video ards may not work with the alert monitor.

22.1.4 Networking

GymMaster is a network based system. It works in a server lient environment. When you install GymMaster Lite it installs PostgreSQL whi h
is the database SQL server.

91

If you wish to set up GymMaster on several omputers on a network, you


need to modify the lo al bondfrontend. onf in the GymMaster dire tory.
Edit db_host and hange this from lo alhost to the name or IP address
of the omputer that you want to a t as the main server for GymMaster.

On omputers whi h are needed to be set up as lients to the server, you


should opt out of installing PostgreSQL on these other omputers.

There is more information on the PostgreSQL website http://www.postgresql.org

http://www.postgresql.org for rewall and installation issues for PostgreSQL.

22.1.5 Firewalls

If you have a rewall installed, this must rst be disabled before you
an install GymMaster. PostgreSQL must be able to listen for in oming
TCP/IP onne tions whi h a rewall an blo k.

PostgreSQL listens on

port 5432 on the lo al IP address of 127.0.0.1.

You need to make sure your rewall allows onne tions through on port
5432.

If you want to have GymMaster work over a network you need to allow
a ess to port 5432 through your rewall and edit the pg_hba. onf le

22.2 Installing GymMaster Lite

22.4 GymMaster Regular Updates


New versions of GymMaster are released regularly, normally on e a week. These
updates often in lude new features for the software, improvements to useablity
and xes to any bugs that have been raised by users.

Often these releases

in ludes feature requests made by other users that ould benet you.

We re ommend that you update GymMaster on e a week to get the most


from the produ t.

If operating on Windows XP Home, before doing an update quit all GymMaster related programmes to avoid a potential lo kup during install. We
will write a pro edure to over ome this problem experien ed with XP
Home.

When you install the GymMaster full version, an i on on the desktop will
appear alled 'Gymmaster upgrade'. If you li k this it will go through
and download the latest version of GymMaster.

The rst time you run GymMaster after downloading the updates, the
system will automati ally upgrade the produ t. You will see a series of
bla k boxes as it upgrades the system.

If you are running GymMaster in a network environment, all the omputers in the network need to be running the same version. So you will
need to run the 'gymmaster update' programme on every omputer in the
network.

95

If there are any problems during upgrades, or if you are onfused about
any new features please onta t us.

The system should throw an error

message if there was any problems.

A produ t news box omes up with detailed information about the hanges
to GymMaster that you got when you upgraded.

22.5 Troubleshooting
22.5.1 GymMaster interprets some dates in orre tly

It is essential to ensure that the database date format mat hes the system
date format.

An example of this error would be if the system was set to US format, but the
database was set to NZ format. The date 2007/10/01, 10th of January 2007 in
US format, would be interpreted by the database as the 1st of O tober 2007.
To he k the formats, see the following
Linux

Che k the values by opening a terminal and typing the ommand


lo ale.

The LANG and LC_TIME variables ontrol the system

date. If LC_TIME is set, then this is the lo ale. If not, then LANG
is the lo ale.
Set these variables by modifying /et /default/lo ale le. Appropriate entries (for New Zealand) would look like LANG=en_NZ.
