Temaline Solutions

Temaline Specification DataSection 5.1: Access Control SolutionsTherefore, in the example below:lllThe TemaKey # 4 is associated to thegroup of TemaKeys that manage anarea, for example the Canteen (Group 4)TemaKeys # 1 and 2 are associated tothe Group 1The control rule that is to be associatedto the terminal # 4 must verify thepreceding transit through the terminalsassociated to the Group 1123Mandatory PathIn the following example, a transit atTemaKey # 8 associated with Group 8 willonly be authorised following a transit atTemaKey # 4, associated with Group 4,and a transit at the latter, in turn, will begranted only after a transit at TemaKey # 1associated with Group 1.13SECTION 5: page 16448Timing BarrierIn this instance, the terminal verifies boththe terminal group through which the userhas transited as well as the time elapsedbetween transits before making the decisionto allow access.For example, a timing barrier can beestablished between a TemaKey associatedwith Group 8 and a TemaKey associated withanother Group – say 7. The rule associatedwith Group 8 will verify whether the user hastransited at any of the terminals associatedwith Group 7 within a configurable time (lessthen 24 hours or 1440 minutes).Note: This type of control is a multi-gatecontrol. It relies on information from severalgate control terminals and, if communicationwith one of the terminals involved isinterrupted, the control can no longerbe guaranteed. In this case, the systemautomatically degrades the functionalityand disables the control until the conditionsnecessary for reliable execution arerestored.TIME AND ATTENDANCETRANSITSThe EBI Temaline Interface provides theability to define a specific use for eachTemaKey based on the specific transactionfor which the terminal/reader will be used.These include:lllAccess ControlTime & AttendanceCanteenl SAP ®The Time and Attendance (T&A)transaction is generally used to supportT&A requirements of HR departments andpayroll. EBI Temaline provides the requiredtransactions via ASCII file, Excel file or via adatabase table.EBI Temaline allows the user to manageT&A transactions, not only covering thecompany’s employees, but also for externalpersonnel such as consultants, contractorsor employees of sister companies.Canteen TransitsEBI Temaline provides the ability to checkthe number of canteen transits allowedand executed for each cardholder per day.TemaKeys are configured specifically for thispurpose and the information is collected byEBI Temaline and then normally exportedto an external application for canteenmanagement.Reasoned TransactionsA reasoned transaction is a transaction thatincludes an associated code identifyinga specific reason in addition to the normalinformation such as the card number, thedate and time of the transit, the transitdirection and the terminal identification.Reasoned transactions are extensivelyused for T&A transactions in order to allowcardholders to identify an exceptional orunusual transit. A reasoned transaction canalso be used to send feedback to activate/deactivate the lights of an office or enable/disable the intrusion detection of an area.Length of Stay ControlsEBI Temaline has the ability to verify theamount of time that a user remains in asecurity-sensitive zone. This can be donebased on two thresholds:llHigh pre-alarm threshold: indicatesthat the user has remained in the zonebeyond the pre-alarm limitHigh alarm threshold: indicates thatthe user has remained in the zonebeyond the time limit set for the alarm.
