Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. SOFTWARE OVERVIEW The OSI Wireless Access Management Solution (WAMS) provides powerful tools to manage your system: WAMS Configurator, WAMS Transactions, WAMS Statistics Monitor. View and print reports from WAMS Configurator and WAMS Transactions using WAMS Reports. If you are the Program Administrator responsible for setting up communications between WAMS software and system portals and readers; you will spend most of your time using WAMS Configurator. If you are in personnel or security, you may be the person who adds users to the system and gives them access priviliges and IDs. You will spend most of your time on the Users tab of the WAMS Configurator. If you are responsible to oversee security for your organization, you will monitor all access and alarm activity using WAMS Transactions. If you are the person responsible to ensure the system is operating at maximum performance, you will use the WAMS Statistics Monitor. If your organization is small, you may use all three!

WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

6 - USER’S GUIDE Once the software is installed, you will find the WAMS Configurator shortcut on your desktop. You can access all applicaltions from the WAMS Configurator main menu. You can also access these applications from the Windows Start Menu. WAMS Users WAMS Users, as opposed to reader users, are those individuals who will operate one or all of WAMS software applications. For example, a WAMS User might be a person in the Security department who will use only WAMS Transaction software to monitor system access activity. Another WAMS User might be a person in Human Resources or Administration who is assigned to add users to the system, or change their settings. Most WAMS users will be added to the system as reader users because they will have some type of physical access to the facility, but they must also be assigned as WAMS Users and be given Usernames and Passwords if they are to access and operate WAMS application software. User Types WAMS Users can be one of four User Types: Administrator, Manager, Service, and General. You will be assigned a User Type depending on which WAMS applications you will log in to and operate. Administrator - An Administrator has access to all WAMS applications and all facilities. This User Type would be assigned to a System Administrator, that is, someone who is responsible for set up and configuration. Manager - Can access all WAMS applications. This type would, for example, be assigned to someone responsible for adding users to the system. As an additional security measure, this type could be restricted to access specific facilities only. WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

USER’S GUIDE- 7 Service - Can access WAMS Transactions and WAMS Statistics Monitor. This User Type can also be restricted to specific facilities only, if needed. General - Can access only the WAMS Transactions and WAMS Reports applications for specific facilities. This user type would be assigned to someone in Security for example, who will monitor daily entry and exit activity and system alarms. They can not access the WAMS Configurator application. Once an Administrator has logged in to the system, they can add WAMS Users to the system. If you are designated as a WAMS User, you will be assigned a login User Name and Password to access the Software Application(s) you need. USING WAMS CONFIGURATOR If you are in Human Resources, Personnel, or Security; you may be the person who adds users to the system and gives them access priviliges and IDs. You will spend most of your time on the Users tab of the WAMS Configurator. The following sections describe how to launch WAMS Configurator, provide a brief overview of the WAMS Display and Tab options. Launching WAMS Configurator When WAMS software is loaded onto your computer, it places a shortcut to WAMS on your desktop. Double-click the WAMS Configurator icon to start the application. The OSI WAMS splash screen appears briefly, then the Login dialog box opens. If you are a WAMS User, your System Administrator or IT representative must provide you a Login Name and Password. You will need this to login the WAMS Configurator. If you are a System Administrator, see the Administrator’s Guide for more information about Launching WAMS for the first time. To Login to the WAMS Configurator: 1. Enter your case-sensitive Login Name and Password. 2. Select Login. WAMS Configurator opens at the Reader Tab. WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

8 - USER’S GUIDE If the System Administrator has created only one facility, you are ready to begin. If more than one facility has been created, select the facility from the drop-down list. Any elements you access in WAMS Configurator will be directed to that facility. IMPORTANT: Once the System login and password have been personalized for your facility, it is important to record the information in hard copy form and safeguard it in a location known to management. Display Options All tasks in WAMS start from the WAMS Configurator, which has four tabs: Readers, Facility, Timezones, and Users. Following is a brief description of WAMS display options and how the tabs are used to perform tasks. WAMS operates in the Windows environment using its standard conventions. You can use WAMS full screen or resize the window using the min/max buttons in the top right corner of the Configurator. In minimized view, use the up or down arrows to select from a list of categories or options. Following is the Facility Tab in minimized view with the scroll bar visible. Minimize, maximize, and close. Up and down arrows In the Facility and Users Tabs you can display items by category or sort alphabetically. This is useful when displaying the Configurator in full-screen view. Tab Options The WAMS Configurator contains four tabs: Readers, Facility, Timezones, and Users. You will select these tabs depending on which program tasks you wish to perform. If your Program Administrator has created more than one facility, you will need to select the facility you wish to work with from the Facility Tab before moving on to add or maintain users assigned to that facility. Following is a quick tour of the WAMS Configurator tabs. Facility Tab Most Facility set up tasks are performed in the Facility Tab. Here, the Program Administrator will create User Groups, Timezones, and configure WAMS software to work with the type of facility access cards or keypad credentials you will use. If your Program Administrator has created more than one facility, you will first select the facility you wish to work with in the Facility Tab before moving on to add or maintain users assigned to that facility. Following is the Facility Tab displayed in full-screen, category view. Once you select a category, you can drill down to additional settings using the ellipsis button. WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

USER’S GUIDE- 9 Use the drop- down list to select a facility to work with. Ellipsis Button Displays brief description of the field selected above. Readers Tab The Readers tab displays the Facility Tree, which is a visual representation of all portal gateways, readers, and I/O devices connected to the WAMS software. Once the devices are organized in the Facility Tree, the various paths to associate readers and portals are available when you add new users to the system. If you are using dialup gateway modems in your system, you can perform an automatic dial out from here. Information about creating the Facility Tree and assigning devices to the various folders in the tree is presented in the Administrator’s Guide. Typically, only the Program Administrator will perform tasks using the Readers Tab. WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

10 - USER’S GUIDE Timezones Tab The WAMS program automatically assigns all readers to a Master Timezone. Your Program Administrator can create any number of Timezone Intervals and Timezone Groups to modify user access within the Master Timezone. The Timezones tab displays the default Master Timezone, a calendar that operates similar to Microsoft Outlook, and any Timezone User Groups that have been created. (For more information about creating Timezone Intervals and Timezone Groups, see the Administrator’s Guide.) Default: Master Timezone Calendar Detail Defined Timezone Interval Message Field displays the access parameters set for the selected Timezone Users Tab If you have been assigned responsibility to add users to the system, your tasks will be performed in the Users Tab. This tab is described in detail in the following section. Adding Users to the Facility Once all hardware and software have been configured, the system is ready for you to add users to it. Follow the steps in this section the first time you enter users, and each time you add a new user to the system. To get started, launch WAMS Configurator. The program opens at the Facility Tab. If your organization has been configured with more than one facility, select the facility you want to work with, then select the Users Tab. WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

USER’S GUIDE- 11 Before You Begin Before you begin adding users to the system for the first time, be prepared to address the following items: IF THEN _ You plan to use WAMS assigns a unique keypad credential number to each new user and only automatically registers it with the system. keypad readers You must know the card type and settings required for that type. _ You plan to use card The scanning device must be attached to ht e computer com port and you must be readers able to identify that port (Com1, Com 2) when you register the credential. _ You plan to use a serial scanning device at your Know the reader name and locations to be used. computer to register user credentials _ You plan to use Have a credential number list or creating conventions ready to enter. local readers to register credentials _ You plan to manually enter the credential numbers NOTE: If you do not have this information, contact your System Administrator before you continue.

WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

12 - USER’S GUIDE Users Tab Overview In the Users Tab, all users currently in the system display in the list on the left. If you have a large number of users, you can use the alphabet buttons on the far left to sort through the list quickly. User Categories display on the right. By default, these categories display as shown; however you can click the A-Z sort button to display categories alphabetically. Here you can add or remover users from the system, set their credentials, and include any personal information needed to identify that person in the system. Click to sort categories alphabetically Category If an ellipsis button displays when you select a field, additional parameters are available for selection. From here you will define user name and address information and access parameters such as readers, user groups, credentials, PIN, and so on. NOTE: If you see a need for additional fields to define for your Users, contact your System Administrator. They can add more fields to the Users Tab, or create additional User Fields unique to your organization. The following sections provide a brief description of each category in the Users Tab, and present steps for adding and configuring users in the system. WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

USER’S GUIDE- 13 ID When you add a user, the system automatically assigns them a unique ID and displays the number in the User ID field. Name Provides entry fields for user first and last name and middle initial. To add a user name: 1. In the Users Tab of the WAMS Configurator, select the Add User button. In the ID category, the system will display a new unique User ID. 2. In the First Name line, place the cursor in the space following <New> and enter a first name. 3. In the Last Name line, place the cursor in the space following <User> and enter a last name. Do the same for the Middle Initial. NOTE: The Update button will flash to remind you to update your settings. You can update each time you add a user, or wait until all user information is added. The software will automatically update your settings when you leave the Users tab. User Defined Fields If your facility has been configured with User Defined Fields, such as Address, City, Zip Code, enter the information as configured. Associations In this category, you associate users with Readers and User Groups. This task defines which readers will recognize the user’s requests for entry and exit. If User Groups have been created for your organization, these will also be available for selection from the Associations category. Readers When you add a user to the system, you will associate them with the reader(s) that will recognize their requests for entry and exit. To associate a user with readers: 1. In the Associations category, Readers line, place the cursor next to (collection). 2. Select the ellipsis button at the right of the field. The View and Select Readers Associated with User dialog box opens. WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

14 - USER’S GUIDE 3. Select the reader(s) from Readers in Facility. 4. Select Add <<. The selected readers are moved from the Readers in Facility list to the Readers Associated with User list on the left. You can associate a user with any number of readers. 5. Select Finish to save your settings and return to the Users Tab. User Groups If User Groups have been created for your facility, these will already be associated with readers. For example, a User Group may have been defined for Laboratory Building 1. Laboratory Building 1 might have six readers. By assigning the user to the Laboratory Building 1 Users Group, they will automatically be associated with all the readers in that group. A User Group may also be defined as a Timezone Group. Timezone User Groups further define access levels for the Master Timezone. You can restrict access of certain groups of employees to a specific time period. For example, you may have a housekeeping group designated as a Timezone Group with restricted access to dormitories from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., weekdays only. You would then assign users from the housekeeping department to this group. For more information about creating Timezone Groups, see the Administrator’s Guide. Steps to add users to User Groups are presented in the following section. To add a user to a User Group: 1. When adding or editing a User, in the Associations Category, click in the User Groups field and click the ellipsis button. The User Groups of User dialog box opens. WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

USER’S GUIDE- 15 2. Select the group(s) to associate with this user and click the Add << button. The groups are added to the User of Groups list. 3. Select Finish to save your selections and return to the Users Tab. You can add or change User Groups for a user any time by returning to this list. NOTE: You can also add users to User Groups from the Facility Tab, User Groups field. For more information about this feature, see Facility Associations, User Groups in the Administrators Guide. Credential Settings WAMS tracks individual requests for access or exit from the facility by their unique credentials, and each request is recorded as a transaction in the WAMS database for reference. Whether your organization uses keypad readers or card readers, each user will be assigned a unique credential number. Under Credential Settings, you will enter the credential ID and number, select a credential type, and set additional parameters related to the credential type. You can add another level of security by combining an individual’s credential with a personal ID number (PIN). If your organization requires a PIN, you will enter them here. Credential setup is a two-step process: First you will select the credential type to be used, then you will register the credential Keypad Type The default credential type in WAMS is Keypad. When you add a user to the system, WAMS assigns them a unique keypad credential number, then automatically registers it with the system. If your facility uses only keypads, once you add the new user name, you can skip to Adding PINs and Expirations Dates. Card Types If your facility uses card type credentials, you must select the card type, enter the appropriate settings, and then register the credential number with the system. WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

16 - USER’S GUIDE To select the card type: 1. In the Users Tab, Credentials line, place the cursor next to (Collection) and select the ellipsis button. The User Credentials Setup dialog box opens. The credential types are listed on the left and the categories available for each type are listed on the right. 2. Select the type of credential the reader will use, for example, magnetic stripe card (Mag Card). The credential options in the categories on the right will change, depending on the type selected. Now you are ready to register the credential. NOTE: If the credential type you need is not in the list of card types on the left, you can add one. See Adding a Credential Type later in this section. Credential De-Activation You can define whether a user’s credentials can be automatically de-activated. This is useful, for example, when entering credentials for a temporary employee or contractor. If the credential can be de-activated, select True from the drop-down list next to the field, and then enter the de- activation date in the De-Activation Date field. If the credential cannot be de-activated, select False from the drop-down list. The default de-activation date is 200 years to ensure a user’s credential is not inadvertently de-activated. Registering the Credential When you select a credential type, the Specify the Credential Number dialog box opens. From here, you can enter the credential number manually, scan the user’s card with a scanning device connected to your computer, or specify a reader where the user will scan their card. Steps to register each type of card are presented in the next few sections. NOTE: If you use the reader scan method, the card used must be unassigned. You can have any one of the other types, or none. WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

USER’S GUIDE- 17 To register a Keypad credential: 1. Keypad credentials are automatically registered by the system, and no further steps are required.
