DBS (also System server): see System server
E
Ethernet
Ethernet is a widespread and standardised communication infrastructure for local networks (LAN).
All devices to be networked have their own IP (Internet Protocol) address, which is used for
communication independent of the location. The consistent use of the Ethernet standard for all
components enables a diversity of access possibilities and networking types (e.g. fibre optics or
wireless LAN).
L
LAN
A LAN (Local Area Network) is a locally limited network under control of the owner. In the ABACUS
system, the LAN is the car park network achieved via Ethernet. This can include just the car park
or also company units or networked partners (e.g. multi-facility centres).
S
System server
The System server is the PC or the server platform for controlling, monitoring and administrating
the parking system ABACUS.
The operating interface WinOperate is installed at the DESIGNA operating work station WS 120
and communicates via Ethernet with the System server. The application WinOperate is located on
the actual System server (ABACUS DBS COMPACT and COMPACT PLUS) for smaller car park
systems.
W
WinOperate
The WinOperate is an easy-to-use graphical Windows
®
interface which allows the user to check,
monitor and control processes in ABACUS as well as manage system data and present business
figures.
The operating interface WinOperate is installed at a DESIGNA operating work station WS 120,
which communicates via Ethernet with the System server. The application WinOperate is located
on the System server ABACUS DBS COMPACT and COMPACT PLUS for smaller car park
systems.
WS 120 (also work station, operating PC)
The WS 120 is the operating work station of the ABACUS parking system which communicates
with the System server via Ethernet. In connection with WinOperate the WS 120 provides
extensive monitoring, controlling, administrating and reporting functions. Several WS 120s can be
networked and access the data and control of one car park.
The application WinOperate is located on the actual System server (ABACUS DBS COMPACT and
COMPACT PLUS) for smaller car park systems, a separate PC WS 120 operating work station is
then not required.
