WIN-PAK PE API ® Application Programming Interface (API)

WIN-PAK® PE API
Application Programming Interface (API)
Honeywell’s WIN-PAK® software suite provides a range of
solutions from access control only to fully integrated security
solutions. WIN-PAK’s powerful user interface allows integrators to
install a single software for all of their customers’ security needs.
When using WIN-PAK's excellent access control functionality,
certain applications require connectivity to third party systems,
where multi-technology and multi-brand integration is needed.
WIN-PAK PE (Professional Edition) API provides the interface
between WIN-PAK SE 4.0/PE 4.0 and third party systems, such
as Human Resources (HR) systems or software monitoring
platforms.
The API is a tool for software developers, with Visual C++
programming knowledge, that allows WIN-PAK to be connected
with the client system. The API operates with the access control
part of WIN-PAK only and consists of two parts:
Database API: This API provides the tools to add, delete and
modify the WIN-PAK database records, such as card holder and
card information, access levels, holidays and time zones.
Communication API: This API provides the programming
interface to monitor and control the access control hardware
devices and elements, such as access control panels, inputs,
outputs and readers.
WIN-PAK PE API optimises system performance between
WIN-PAK PE 4.0 and the WIN-PAK API Client (3rd party system).
In these scenarios the WIN-PAK system provides an excellent
access control solution, where the API client is the overarching
system that monitors and controls WIN-PAK’s access control
hardware.
In customer applications where multiple systems need to
communicate with one another in real-time, WIN-PAK’s API provides
the tools to create the solution for the access control part.
When the integrated application has been completed, the Host
platform is then able to lock and unlock doors and change reader
modes in the WIN-PAK controlled hardware. Also adding and
modifying cards and card holder information, time zones, holidays
and access levels can be done from the host platform.
For applications requiring a single point of data entry and control
of employees and subsequent card holder status, such as a
Human Resources application or even government systems,
the API is the right tool for the job.

BENEFITS
Save time by controlling and
monitoring access functions
from a host platform
WIN-PAK access control in third party,
multi brand platforms
Access control has traditionally been brand
specific business where software relates only to
hardware of the same brand. Open platforms
that support multi brand technologies and
functionality are becoming more common in
security systems and building management/
administration systems. The WIN-PAK PE API
allows WIN-PAK to connect to those third party
systems, making WIN-PAK an even more
popular platform for integration.
The API provides communication with
the host platform, enabling operators to
control doors and readers in the
access system without switching
between systems. This saves time and
effort for the operator in responding to
in security events.
Sharing and connecting
WIN-PAK database records for
common use
Compatibility with Human Resources
and other administrative systems
More and more organisations are requiring a
single point of entry for their employees data
and access security levels. Human Resources
or Time and Attendance systems are commonly
used as the single point of entering data and
when integrated with the API, the HR system
would automatically write the security elements
for the access control system into the WIN-PAK
access control system.
Using WIN-PAK PE API, solutions not
previously supported by WIN-PAK,
such as biometric systems, can be
supported. By connecting the biometric
templates database to the WIN-PAK
card holder records, WIN-PAK API is
able to seamlessly deliver full system
functionality.
