1 Installing the Gitcon Access Management Software

The Gitcon Access Management Software is only one part of the Gitcon Access Control System. Several applications must interact in order to provide you with the full functionality of the lock unit, user and transponder databases, the client administration tool, and the Pocket PC maintenance software.

The Gitcon Access Control System

There are several different software applications at work in the Gitcon Access Control System. The Gitcon Access Management Software Installation CD-ROM contains the following applications:

  • Gitcon Access Management Software This is the database administration software through which you configure your lock units and users.
  • Gitcon PPC This is the Pocket PC software that allows you to perform maintenance at the lock units with upload files that have been synchronized (with Microsoft ActiveSync) from the PC version of the Gitcon Access Management Software.
  • MS SQL Server or MS SQL Server Express These database applications contain the lock unit, person, and transponder configuration information. You access the MS SQL database through the Gitcon Access Management Software, which provides an easy-touse graphical interface.
  • MS .NET Framework 2.0 This application allows a single PC to act as a database server to enable client PCs to connect to it or to enable the PC to act as a complete client/server system.
  • Crystal Reports for .NET Framework This application plugs into the Gitcon Access Management Software to allow you to produce detailed reports from the lock audit data, as well as database actions.

The Installation CD guides you through installing all of these applications.

Note: The Microsoft ActiveSync application is also recommended to synchronize the Pocket PC with the PC. This application should be included with your Pocket PC's starter kit.

Database Installation Options

The Gitcon Access Management System offers three different installation options for the MS SQL database:

  • Client Only This option installs only the client version of MS SQL and the Gitcon Access Management Software on the local PC. You will use these client applications to access the MS SQL database on an external server.
  • Database Only This option installs MS SQL Server Express on the local PC and creates the database to be accessed by other client PCs.
  • Complete Installation This option installs MS SQL Server Express and the Gitcon Access Management Software on your Local PC to act as a complete client-server system on a single PC.

Selecting one of these options is the first decision that you must make when installing the Access Management System. If you want to install and administrate the Access Management System on a single workstation, a complete installation is recommended.
