System Architecture

BTEPS runs on Windows Operating System, developed on .NET platform and Microsoft MSMQ communication method. MSMQ provides
reliable, secure, prioritize, synchronize and asynchronous communication among all clients within the system. implemented in SQL
database has ensure the convenient of integration with 3rd party system.
BTEPS
support single client and multiple client version. Each client able to install on different computer and using LAN or WAN via MSMQ to
realize the communication with CC (Command Center). CC and database can be installed on different computer as reference to the above system
architecture.
 

BTEPS supports 3 types of communication server: CS, CS-POS and CS-CPS using for Door Access System, Payment System and Car
Parking System. Using Communication Server able to realize upload and download data between controllers and system. From the communication
server user interface, able to monitor the communication status of all controller as well as tracing their upload and download data. For a big system
setup, if the number of controller is a lot or distribute across different city or area, multiple CS can be installed to improve the communication
efficiency. Communication Server able to communicate with controllers via TCP/IP or Serial. Controller model include BS10, BS100, BS100-F,
BS200, BS400, BS800 etc. Please refer to Bostex product menu for detail configuration.

Command Center

Command Center (CC) is the “heart” of platform, using MSMQ to secure communicate among application. Setting up priority, CC able
to process important data based on different priorities level. CC enable data distribution among application client to improve system operating
efficiency. From CC user interface, all the connected client and application version can be view in detail.
Command Center using license file to control the number and type of client connected as well as the function. CC auto synchronize feature of
any data changes to all the controllers is one of the key point for to be the most intelligent platform in the industry.

Introduction

DAS Door Access Management System is one of the BTEPS platform basic management module design for managing user information, door
information and assigning user door access right. DAS registration source
which provides department and user information for other BTEPS applications such as Monitoring System, Time Attendance, Human Tracking,
Payment, Meeting Attendance.
User management include changing of department, resignation, resume
resignation, staff replacement, card issuing, fingerprint enrollment, telephone
entry, card printing etc. operation. Up to 15 user definable field has been
reserved for different user requirement. Basic features such as assign right to
user by door or door to user and immediate access right download have
simplified access right assignment operation and increase efficiency. In DAS,
the door access right control is more exquisite; beside time zone control,
holiday control, PIN control and APB control, it also support toggle function,
arm/disarm, monitoring control and control group.

DAS Door Access Management System as compare to other
system in the industry has more complete user information, access
right assignment is more convenient, door control is more exquisite.
Based on the MSMQ communication and middle layer centralize
control and data exchange technology, DAS has wide range of
application implementation option, it can either be used on single
computer or up to 255 concurrent remote client; can be used on
either small factory with 100 staff or big organization with 100,000
user.

Multi- Tenant and Multi- Department Management

In door access industry, Bostex is the first to bring in multi-tenant management concept. Different company sharing the same security
management platform, same controllers and network. Individual company has it own administrator. Administrator and operator can only view and
modify their own company user information, time zone, access right, user group and all the door point detail information assigned by System
Administrator.
Once System Administrator issue door point to Company A, only Company A administrator and Operator can view their own door point. This
process can be described as “Renting out door point to tenant”. When Company A has return back their door point to the System Administrator, these
door point can then be re-isssued to Company B, and the process can be described as “Return renting door point to landlord”. For a multi-door
controller, doors under the same controller can be issued by System Administrator to different company and this can optimize the system equipment
utilization rate
Through Company A authorization, Company B is able to view Company A certain department or user group, and this can facilitate Company B to
assign their door point to Company A user in order to achieve the objective of Company A user gain access to Company B door. In consideration of
company user information privacy, Company A administrator can setup to let Company B operator to view only certain type of user information such as
User ID but not name and age etc..
In multi- tenant version, each company has it own 31 set of time zone
and this will extend the overall system time zone capacity for a large scale
setup. Every company can create up to 10 level of department. Setup also
enable operator to operate their own department which satisfy traditional
departmental management model, i.e. each department manager can only
operate their own department staff and no access to other department staff
information.
