Running the RPM and distributing profiles
The Resource Profile Manager (RPM) is an add-on tool that
works with the SDU. The RPM lets you:
• Create a description of the companies and buildings at a site
• Assign security and access control devices to companies and
buildings
• Specify a primary company (owner) for each CRC
• Allocate device resources among companies that share the
devices
This information is displayed in a two-pane window that
includes a tree structure and a data table. The tree structure
shows the organization of companies and buildings and the
assignment of partitions and devices to the buildings. The data
table shows the labels, properties, and allocation numbers for the
current tree selection. You could think of this as the overall
resource profile for the project.
The RPM lets you export resource profiles for individual
companies. These are later imported into the Access Control
Database (ACDB) and Keypad Display Configuration (KDC)
programs.
Once imported, the profiles determine what the users see and
control when creating their portions of the security or access
control system.
To create and distribute resource profiles, you follow these
general steps:
1. Enter company and installer contact information.
2. Create buildings and assign them to companies.
3. Assign partitions and devices to the buildings for each
company.
4. Allocate device resources to each company.
5. Export a resource profile for each company.
The RPM includes a Mass Assign function to help you establish
a uniform baseline allocation of resources. A Summary display is
available so you can review and print the profile in several
different forms.
When your project includes security or access control
applications, run the RPM and distribute resource profile
diskettes to the ACDB and KDC users.
Refer to the SDU Online Help for details on these steps. Refer to
the Card Reader Controller (CRC) Technical Reference Manual
for details on configuring CRCs.
