TDSI Access Control

TDSi is an access control system from Time and Data Systems International Limited.

The TDSi system is connected by the export of the text-files from TDSi which are read by the Ocularis Recorder system.

Configuring the TDSi connection
  1. Create a new module with the following settings:
General
  1. Activate access control.
  2. Optionally, change the name of the device.
  3. Select the DeviceManager server to manage the TDSi connection.
  4. Specify the TDSi export directory where the EXgarde Event Exporter will store events.
  5. If the directory was not created locally on the OnSSI server, enter the full UNC path.
  6. Enter the TDSi export delimiter.
Event Groups

Creating of event groups is optional. Event groups will be used in a rule as starting event for alarm scenarios. Thereby always the same alarm scenario can be started, regardless of the event.

  1. To create a new event group, click Add.
  2. Set the name of the event group in the text field.
  3. In the Event group list, select one or more events assigned to the event group.
Rules
  1. Click Add one rule or Add 10 rules to add one or 10 rules at once.
  2. Set the name of the rule in the Name column of the table.
  3. For the event, select a single event or an event group that you have previously created.
  4. Optionally, fill out Source, Detail 1, Detail 2 and Detail 3 fields. The fields correspond to the fields in the EXgarde Explorer overview. The case (upper/lower case) in the Source field as well as Detail 1 through Detail 3 must be exactly the same in the EXgarde Event Exporter and the Ocularis Recorder configuration. Otherwise the alarm scenario will not be triggered.
