1. Introduction

The Messerschmitt Handheld Terminal HHT 2008 is used to initialize and to readout transactions of

reader units of the Messerschmitt Door Locking System HOCAS.

The device is scheduled for the contact free transponder card system and the magnetic card system. The

communication with the reader units can be made via serial cable connection or infrared.

The programs and the data base which included in delivery are located in the non volatile memory of the

Handheld Terminal – on an external memory card.

Even after voltage breakdown, the data and the applications, which stored on the memory card, stay

there.

The following documentation refers to the handling of the Handheld Terminal as well as the related

PC Software “hhtdock_v3.exe“.

You can find technical details of the reader units in the corresponding descriptions.

The HHT 2008 disposes of a colour display with a

resolution of 320x240 pixels and an integrated touch

screen.

into a spreadsheet and can be transferred later to the Messerschmitt PC to work on it.

ill. The Transactions dialog

The “Transactions“dialog offers next to the reading out of saved transactions the possibility to analyse

happened access failures.

Button "Read"

It will be display the new entries since last reading out. The transactions memory of the reader units can

store a maximum of 400 actions.

If this memory is filled up, the oldest entries will be overwritten by the newest transactions.

Button "Back"




2.5. Initialisation of a reader unit

Every reader unit has to be initialized and to be configured after the installation. This procedure happens

with the menu item „Initializing“

In the process the reader gets the room number (e.g. number of the guest room for guest readers) as well

as additional data to limit the access (personal areas / groups and so on).

Furthermore the clock of the reader unit will be synchronized with the clock of the Handheld Terminal.

The data for the reader units have to define on the Messerschmitt PC with the application “HOCAS2004“

and have to be transferred via data transfer to the Handheld Terminal.

ill. Initializing dialog for guest readers

The initialisation of a reader unit starts with the choice of a room ( „Room no.“). Depending on the type of

the reader unit, it will be displayed a specified input mask, in which the access data for the chosen room

will be shown. This is used for the initialisation and data can be adjust, however the changed data will not

be written into to the Handheld Terminals data base. Because of that, modifications of the access data

should be done on the Messerschmitt PC. They can be transfer to the Handheld Terminal later.

The input field "log. no." has only relevancy for locker locks and is locked for all other types of devices.

Button„Init“

During the initialisation, the access data will be transferred to the reader unit.

Finally, the “Transactions“memory will be reset.

Button „Back“




2.5.1. Initialisation of a guest reader

Guest readers are generally reader units which are installed on guest doors. These doors only accept the

cards, that are encoded for that room and additional staff cards (e.g. Housekeeping), too.

ill. dialog INIT guest reader

The values that have to be set are stored in the database of the Handheld Terminal for each room and

will be set in the input mask of this dialog with the choice of a room number. Here you can change the

values afterwards if it is necessary, but changes will not be written into the database of the handheld!



2.5.2. Initialisation of a group reader

Group readers can be configured in away, that they accept guest cards from several rooms, which is

suitable to manage suites. The assignment, which guest card will be accepted, have to be done with the

help of the management software HOCAS on the System PC.

ill. Dialog INIT group reader

The values inclusive the guest room relationship, that have to be set are stored in the database of the

Handheld Terminal and will be loaded in an internal puffer with the choice of a room number.



2.5.3. Initialisation of a staff reader

Staff readers check only the special areas besides the temporary limited permissions of a card.

In distinction from special readers, staff readers don’t accept guest cards.

ill. INIT a staff reader






2.5.4. Initialisation of special area readers

Special area readers check, if a temporal valid access card has the permission to access a special area.

If the area checking is disabled (special area = “none”), every valid card of the house will be accepted.

Because of that, special area readers are often used on main entrances.

ill. INIT a special area reader






2.5.5. Initialisation of lift readers

The initialisation of a lift reader always depends on the structural conditions of the current house.

ill. INIT a lift reader




Choice “Special area control“

Only the floors with the correct permissions to the encoded special areas will be approached

Choice “Floor control without tableau activation”

The floor will be directly approach without an input on the tableau, if a guest card is used.

Here the tableau is disabled. The relevant floor will be detected by the room number of a guest card. If

staff cards are used, the tableau is enabled.

Choice “Floor control with tableau activation”

The floor will be directly approach without an input on the tableau, if a guest card is used. Additional the

tableau is enabled for entries, too. The relevant floor will be detected by the room number of a guest card.

If staff cards are used, the tableau is enabled.

The time of the activation of the tableau will be display in the field „Time of activation“. (stated in seconds)



2.5.6. Initialisation of locker locks



values afterwards if it is necessary, but these will not be taking over in the database of the handheld!

ill. INIT a locker lock

variable (every valid guest card)

If the locker is opened, he accepts any guest card.

static (only assigned guest card)

Only guest cards, where the locker number is set, can open the locker

Staff locker

The locker can be used with a staffcard. The staffmember has to be assigned manually by choosing from

the drop-down list.



2.6. Parameterize reader units

Additional to the data for the initialisation, the reader unit needs information about the type of opening the

door (e.g. how and how long should be open). These values are pre-defined and can be configured in the

menu “Parameter”.

ill. the „Parameter“ dialog

Button "Read all parameter"

Displays the current values of the reader unit and puts them in the input mask.

Button "Set all parameter"

All displayed values in the input mask will be transferred back to the reader unit.

The changes will be active immediately.

Pay Attention: Before the values can be written, the current values of the reader unit have to be loaded

(Button "Read all parameter").

Button "Back"

The dialog will be quit immediately. Changes of the parameters of a reader unit will not be made.

Duration door open

Duration in milliseconds in which the door or the door contact will be switched on and the green or blue

LED will be light up.



Opening mode

This choice gives information about the kind of installation of the Key Card unit. That means, if the unit is

placed on the door or placed on the wall (for special doors). For wall installations, a potential-free contact

will be switched during the green LED is lighted up.

Daylight saving

These 2 values give information about the intercalary months from the standard to the daylight time and

from the daylight to the standard time.

The values are needed for the automatic correction of the internal reader clock. If there is no value set,

the automatic time correction is disabled.

Alternate opening

This value defines weather the reader opens and closes the door alternate. That means, the door will be

stayed open till a valid card is used to close the door.

Group reader: check area

Only for card format 4: The reader unit checks the staff areas, too.

DND: staff card opens the door

Contrary to the standard, the staff can opens a door, when the “Do not disturb” is set.

DND: Guest can not open door

For special doors (e.g. conference rooms) it is maybe necessary, that guest cards can not open the door,

when the “Do not disturb” is set.

HHT: wakeup by IrDA

This parameter activates the automatic wakeup, when data is detected via the IrDA interface.



2.7. Set the internal Clock of a reader unit

Every reader unit has got an internal clock. After a battery change, that means when the power supply of

a reader unit was interrupted, the clock has to be corrected.

It can be made with this Date/Time dialog or with the help of a Date/Time card

ill. the Date/ Time dialog

Button „Read“

This option reads out and displays the internal clock of the current reader unit.

Button „Set“

This option corrects the internal clock of the current reader unit with the given values for date and time.

Button „Back“


Pay Attention : The internal reader unit has to be corrected, if the power supply was interrupted (e.g.

battery change). The clock will automatically be set with the initialisation of reader units via Handheld

Terminal.



2.8. Timeslots of the special area readers and staf f readers

The reader units save the timeslots in form of a spreadsheet with 32 entries. The entries 0 to 29 are used

for the staff entrance.

Entry 30 describes the time period for the automatic door opening and the entry 31are used for the guest

entrance on special area readers. These values can be set here.

Pay Attention: There will be encoded the number of the timeslot on the staff cards, not the times.

Because of that, the timeslots on the System PC have to be the same like the timeslots in the reader units

and the timeslots, which are set in the Handheld Terminal. Potential changes have to be changed first on

the System PC. Values, that are changed via Handheld Terminal will not be stored in the handheld

terminal and so, they can not transferred to the System PC

Examples: Entrance for the whole day: 00:00 - 24:00

No automatic Locking : 24:00 - 24:00 (Timeslot 30)

Automatic Locking at 18:00, but no automatic opening: 24:00 - 18:00 (Timeslot 30)

ill. The timeslot dialog

Button „Read“

The dialog reads out the timeslot of the current reader unit and displays it on the screen.

Button „Set“

This option transfers the displaying timeslots of the list to the reader unit.

Button „Back“
