2 Operation Guide

2.1 Synchronizing People

Person synchronization is automatic. Person records and their credentials are copied from AMAG Symmetry to SAFR Server and from there pushed to all readers. Synchronization occurs continually in the background.

SAFR will synchronize people and credentials as follows:

At initial connection time, all records pre-existing in Symmetry are copied to SAFR.

From then on, records added to Symmetry are copied to SAFR.

Records in SAFR are NOT copied to Symmetry.

Changes to records in Symmetry are updated in SAFR.

If record is changed in SAFR, a warning is displayed and sync to Symmetry will be disabled for that record.

Only records with access credentials and image will be copied to SAFR.

Removing credentials or the image in the Symmetry results in the record being removed from SAFR.

Setting record to inactive in Symmetry removes the record from SAFR.

Below describes the process (which is automatic).

1. Add a person in AMAG.

That person record and the corresponding credentials are be copied to SAFR and viewable in SAFR Person Window.

2.2 Card Format

SCAN reader card format config must be set to match the card format imported by AMAG. Moreover, only 1 card format can be supported at once.

Here is an example of how to set SCAN custom card format for the following AMAG 37 bits card format:

SCAN custom card format:

It’s important to mention that for people imported as "Legacy" and SCAN card format set as AUTO - No data will be sent to the Panel.
