CHAPTER 1
Introduction
TruPortal
™
is a web-based access control solution that is designed to be simple to use, yet
sophisticated. It is compatible with a variety of access control hardware components, including:
•
Input devices that detect conditions or events, such as door bells or alarms.
•
Output devices such as lights and locks that respond to input devices and/or action triggers.
•
TruVision
™
Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) and Network Video Recorders (NVRs).
The TruPortal User Interface software is embedded on the System Controller and can be used to:
•
Control access for up to 64 doors based on user-defined schedules.
•
Configure schedules to include recurring holidays.
•
Add up to 10,000 users and badges to the System.
•
Add reader schedules to help automate the System.
•
Enforce Anti-passback (APB).
•
Create reader groups.
•
Monitor events remotely and automate linking of events to recorded video.
•
Open, lock, lock out and reinstate doors remotely.
Note:
For an Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC) s319-listed installation and/or UL
294 installation, remote access features are supplementary.
Mobile versions of the User Interface are also available for iOS6 and Android
™
devices. These
companion apps can be used to remotely monitor system activity and perform basic administration.
Refer to the TruPortal Release Notes for details.
In addition to the User Interface software, the System includes the following programs:
•
The Installation Wizard can be used to detect the System Controller on a network, synchronize
the time on the System Controller with the time on the local client workstation, and configure
network settings. The Installation Wizard can also be used to determine the new IP address of an
System Controller if the IP address has changed. See
•
The Upgrade Wizard can be used to upgrade the System Controller from an earlier version.
Existing TruPortal 1.0 and goEntry 3.0 customers should use the Upgrade Wizard instead of the
Installation Wizard to upgrade the System Controller. See
