Temaline Specification DataSection 5.1: Access Control SolutionsMULTI-SITEThe multi-site functionality is a logicalconcept that can be used with only oneserver or over a Distributed SystemArchitecture (i.e. multi-servers) to managethe TemaServers and peripheral devicesinstalled over a Wide-area Network (Wan).TEMAPOWERThe TemaPower is an active power supply device that does not only supply power, but isalso able to exchange messages with the TemaServer controllers thus providing continuousinformation on the status of the main power supply and of the batteries.Multi-site allows the management of up to255 different sites per system. Each sitehas its specific terminals, behaviour models,calendar and zones. The employees,visitors, vehicles, available cards can beenabled to have multi-site capabilities. Usingthis function information can be distributedin the most suitable manner relating toemployees, visitors, vehicles and availablecards to the appropriate sites.TemaPower ATemaPower BIn emergency situations, the devices can be configured in a redundant mode. Each devicethen has the ability to manage additional TemaKeys normally managed by another TemaPower, which is temporarily in failure.The multi-site functionality is often used in acampus or business park type facility.HARDWARE COMPONENTSTemaServerThe TemaServer is the heartof the Temaline architecture.Each TemaServer has itsown database and is able to communicatewith other TemaServers via peer-topeercommunications. It represents thedistributed intelligence of the systemproviding an operating environment thatseamlessly supports inter-operability ofAccess Control, Time & Attendance andIntruder Detection.TemaServers connect to the EBI TemalineSupervisory System via Ethernet. Theconnection between the TemaServer andthe field devices is via Echelon bus protocol.Muster StationsThe Muster Station providesthe ability to electronicallymanage a muster point in the event of anemergency. Any TemaServer or TemaKeyequipped with a graphic display can beconfigured as a Muster Station. Cardholdersare linked to a Muster station via thebehaviour models as for the other types ofreaders in the system.Each Muster Station supervises specificzones of the plant displays a list ofcardholders still present in these zones(including detail on their last recorded zone).Proper site mustering is a critical requirementfor any facility that requires a structured,secure and on-line evacuation plan.TemaKeysThe TemaKey devices are theinterface to all cardholders(e.g. company employees, visitors and sub-contractors). The modularity of the devicesallows each customer to select the rightTemaKey to suit their requirements.In its smallest form, a TemaKey is a singlereader but larger TemaKeys can also includeadditional readers, displays, keypads and/orI/O modules.Standard reader technologies supportedinclude:llllllMagnetic stripeProximity – HID, Motorola, NexWatch,Sokymat, and othersLCD devices – 16 characters x 2 rowsand graphic display with 16 lines x 40columnsWiegand interface devicesDigital I/O devicesSpecialist smart card technologiesincluding: Mifare, Legic, ST Micro andothersSECTION 5: page 12
