Create a Borealis System

1.0 Introduction

Every Borealis installation will require a ‘System’ to initially be added. The system is created and authorized by Keri Systems and you will be added to the system as an operator with full administration rights.

2.0 What is a System?

A System is a container for everything related to an organization's access control installation, including:

• Operators - Software users permitted to interact with the System.
• Sites - Logical groupings of physical security assets by geographical location.
• Hardware - Controllers, readers and many other types of electronic security equipment.
• Cardholders - People enrolled into the System with tailored security permissions, granting them access to physical locations with the use of a security credential.
• Credentials - A token assigned to a cardholder, examples include proximity cards and fobs, a PIN or biometric attributes.

Examples of when to create a new System:

• First Time Adding Hardware - All hardware must be part of a System, with a minimum of one site. To add hardware, such as hubs, controllers and peripherals, connect to an existing System or create a new System here.
  
  
• New Dealer System - Security dealers providing a managed service for their clients should create a new System for each client.
