 A Quick Glance
WIN-PAK is a one-stop gateway for all your access control needs. It helps you to
maintain employee access details, track and control access at entry and exit areas, and
generate reports for system and user events. The WIN-PAK application is divided into
three components: Database Server, Communication Server, and User Interface. These
components can run on a single computer or on multiple computers, allowing flexibility

A QUICK GLANCE
in configuring a networked system.
• Database Server - The database tables can store, organize, and retrieve data using
the WIN-PAK Database Server. The Communication Server and User Interface
access the data from the Database Server and generate various reports. The Data-
base Server can be installed on the client computer or any other computer con-
nected to the network.
• Communication Server - The Communication Server sends the user Interface
requests and the access transactions to the access control panel. The access con-
trol panel processes the transactions and sends the information to the Database
Server for storage, and the responses are sent to the User Interface through the
Communication Server. When the Communication Server is sending information
to the Database Server, it can receive a request from the User Interface. In these
cases of conflict, the Communication Server considers the user request as a
higher priority and temporarily stops the panel-database server communication
till the time the user request is processed. The Communication Server can be
installed on the client computer or any other computer connected to the network.
• User Interface - The User Interface, also called as WIN-PAK Client helps the
WIN-PAK operators to communicate with the access control system. The User
Interface can be installed on the computer where the Database Server or the
Communication Server is installed or any other computer connected to the net-
work. You can run several client computers and can access the Database Server
simultaneously. The number of client computers that can be connected depends
on the license that you procure for WIN-PAK.

Salient Features of WIN-PAK

• Installation - Handles large and complex installations including the configuration
of the WIN-PAK environment.
• Secured Environment - Supports Tracking and Mustering reporting to indicate
the location of people for enabling the secured environment. Additionally, intru-
sions at different areas can be monitored, if you have the license for the Galaxy
and/or Vista features in WIN-PAK. Procure the license for the Galaxy panel and/
or Vista panel from your Honeywell Access Systems representative.

11
 WIN-PAK Services
In addition to the Database Server and the Communication Server, WIN-PAK contains
the following other servers also called as WIN-PAK Services.
• Command File Server - Text files containing device instructions are stored in the
Command Files database. The commands in the command files can be sent to the
devices automatically on receiving, acknowledging, or clearing an alarm. The
A QUICK GLANCE

command files can also be executed manually.

• Guard Tour server - A Guard Tour is a defined series of check points a guard
must activate within a given amount of time. The check points are readers or
input points where the guard presents the card or presses the button.
• Tracking and Muster Server - A Muster Server is enabled in the event of an emer-
gency and allows the card holders to swipe the readers. Muster areas are logical
areas that contain readers to be used by the card holders, only if there is a call for
muster (for example in the event of a disaster).
• Schedule Server - The Schedule server schedules the list of events to be per-
formed at predetermined time and intervals such as hourly, daily, or monthly.
• Video Management Server - This Video Management server provides an inter-
face to connect to various DVR's/NVR's. In addition, it also provides CCTV con-
trol with Live Monitor Display, PTZ control of cameras, Video Playback
operations, and so on. The Video Management functionality is not applicable to
WIN-PAK XE.

Note:
The WIN-PAK services are installed when you install the Database Server or install
WIN-PAK with all the components. These services start automatically after successful
completion of the installation.

Getting Started with WIN-PAK

To get started with WIN-PAK:
1. Install WIN-PAK SE/PE/XE on your computer.

To configure WIN-PAK:
• See “Basic Configuration” on page 3.
• See “Advanced Configuration” on page 36.
To monitor and track access control activities in WIN-PAK:
• See “Monitoring Actions” on page 46.

Basic Configuration
In WIN-PAK, you must configure the mandatory settings that are explained in this
section to work on the access control system.

Note:
You can also configure the basic settings using the Quick Start Wizard (QSW) that auto-
matically starts each time you log on to WIN-PAK. For more information refer to the
WIN-PAK User’s Guide or WIN-PAK Online Help.

Configuring automatic log on and log off settings

You can set the WIN-PAK system to log on automatically, when you launch WIN-PAK.
In addition, you can set to close the WIN-PAK User Interface when you log off from the
system.
The Adding operator or Deleting operator functionality must be performed through
Active Directory in the domain controller.

Adding an Account

Note:
The “Adding an Account” feature is specific only to “PE” version of WIN-PAK.

The Communication Server establishes the connection between panels and WIN-PAK or
other servers. The servers must request the Communication Server to interact with panels.
To communicate with system devices such as panels, readers, inputs, or outputs, you must
configure the Communication Server for your access control system. The Communica-
tion Server can be installed on the same computer that has the Database Server or on any
other computer in a networked system.

(ADVs) and must be configured.

Adding Panels to the Communication Server

Local or remote Panels can be added in the communication server. Local panels can be
added directly to the server (Direct P-Series Panel) or through panel loops(R2-232 Panel
Loop, C-100 or 485/PCI Panel Loop , P-Series Panel Loop).
A communication loop is an interface between the panels and the communication server.
It must be added to an existing communication server on the Device Map. You must have
an available communication port, for each panel or a communication loop to be added to
a loop.
To add panels:
1. Choose Configuration > Device > Device Map.
2. Right-click the panel loop and select a panel.
3. Provide the basic information for the panel such as name, panel type.

For a P-Series panel, you need to configure SIO boards too. SIO Board is an extendable
board that enables you to connect multiple readers, input points, and output points to a
single panel. The available SIO board types are:

BASIC CONFIGURATION
• 16-Zone Input/Output and 16-Relay Output
• 2-Reader I/O and 1-Reader I/O

NetAXS Panels
The NetAXS panels can be added to the communication server.
Following are the two types of NetAXS panels that are available.
• NetAXS-123
• NetAXS-4
The NetAXS-4 panel and NetAXS-123 panel is called as a “Gateway” when added
directly to the communication server.
• NetAXS-4 panel as a Gateway supports adding 30 downstream* NetAXS-4 pan-
els.

WIEGAND card format, which supports 128 different card formats limited to a
maximum length of 128 bits. Among this 128 card formats, the following eight card
formats are standard to all the NetAXS panels (NetAXS-4 and NetAXS-123).
• Default 26 Bit Wiegand
