There are six different types of templates. Each template is as a building block to provide pre-defined configurations for the next level.
· Gateway Templates: define basic attributes of the gateway controller such as the time zone, support for one or two doors, the attached expansion modules, and the door templates assigned to the controller. Changes to a gateway template do not impact configured controllers (only new controller configurations).
· Controller Templates: define the basic attributes of the Identiv EM-100 controller, such as time zone, support for doors, and door templates assigned to the controller.
· Understanding Door Templates: define a set of door hardware devices and settings. Door templates are assigned to controllers to simplify door configuration. Door templates also reference device templates (see below) to simplify device configuration.
Note Changes made to door, device, and credential templates also change any doors or devices configured with those templates.
· Understanding Device Templates: define typical settings for devices, such as locks and sensors. Device templates are used to help define door templates.
· Understanding Gateway Credential Templates: define the card data format for a reader, including how to extract and encode the data collected from the reader or keypad.
· Understanding Reader LED Profiles: define the LED states on a reader interface for a gateway or Reader module.
Note See also the Configuring Badge Templates. Badge templates define common settings for badge types. In the personnel record, select the badge template to quickly populate the badge fields, and then make additional changes, if necessary.
