Adding a Credential Type
At least one credential type must be defined for the system. The default credential type in WAMS
is Keypad. If you use other then keypad credential types, you can add them to the User
Credentials Setup dialog box. For example, if your facility will use Smart cards, you can add
Smart Card to the list.
To add a card type to the list:
1. In the Users Credentials Setup dialog box, select the Add button. The Add Credential to
User dialog box opens.
2. Select the Credential Type from the drop-down list.
3. Select Finish. The User <Smart Card> Credential Number Setting dialog box opens.
The default Credential Number displays in the text box at the top.
4. If you selected a user before you added the new type, you can enter or scan in the
credential number. If you did not select a user, select Finish to return to the User
Credentials Setup dialog box. The new credential type will display in the list of types.

PIN
You can add a level of security by requiring PIN numbers in addition to credentials for all users, or
for specific Timezone Intervals. The default displays the PIN number as asterisks in the fields;
however you can choose to show the actual PIN numbers.
To add a PIN Number for a User:
1. Under Credential Settings, click in the field next to PIN. The Set Personal Identification
Number dialog box opens.
2. Select the Show PINs check box if you wish to view the numbers instead of asterisks as
you type them in.
3. Enter a PIN number for the user.
4. Click Finish to save the PIN and exit the dialog box.
Settings
Each facility user will be assigned a user type and access type, depending on the tasks they
perform and the access mode needed to perform those tasks. The system supports four different
types of users: General Users, Managers, Programmers, and Service users. You can have up to
65,000 individual users in the system and they can be of any User Type. User types are briefly
described in the following paragraphs.
General Users
The majority of users will be assigned as General Users. They are allowed entry only when the
access level is set to ID Required. General Users never have access when the reader is in
Lockout.
To assign User Type:
1. In the Settings category, select the field next to User Type.
2. Select a User Type from the drop-down list.
Manager
Managers are one of the most useful types of IDs. This User Type provides the capability to
change the access level of a reader with a few simple key presses. These changes can and will
be overridden by the time schedule or another manager or programmer. A user with Manager
privileges is always allowed access to a reader. For example, when a facility requires an
individual to have access at all hours of the day without giving any extra privileges, that individual
will be assigned Manager Privileges.
22 – USER’S GUIDE
WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Programmer
Programmers can scan all channels at the keypad reader as well as reset the reader to respond
to keypad commands as in manager mode. The programmer must enter his or her specific
programmer code then:
Press #7 to scan all channels
Or
Press #8 to use manager codes.
NOTE: Managers and programmers are indistinguishable from a general user when no keyboard
is present.
Reader Control
The system defaults the amount of time from the moment a reader unlocks until it relocks, and
the amount of time a door can stay open before an alarm will be triggered. You can modify
reader operate and shunt times for individual users. For example, to be ADA compliant, a user
who is in a wheelchair, or uses a walker may need more time to pass through a door. You can
increase the shunt time for this user.
To modify reader operate time:
In the Reader Control category, Operate Time, select the amount of time you wish to
leave the reader in the unlocked position from the drop-down list.
To modify reader shunt time:
In the Reader Control category, Shunt Time, select the amount of time you wish to allow
for passage before an alarm will be triggered.

USING WAMS TRANSACTIONS
WAMS TRANSACTIONSWAMS TRANSACTIONS
WAMS TRANSACTIONS
Each time a user accesses the system, WAMS collects a transaction from the reader/portal
gateway network. Once the system is signed on and users begin accessing the system,
transactions begin including any alarm activity. You can monitor all this activity in WAMS
Transactions. Access WAMS Transactions via the Windows Start button.
To Launch WAMS Transactions:
1. Select Start>All Programs>OSI Security Devices>WAMS>WAMS Transactions.
2. Enter your Login and Password. WAMS Transactions opens at the Transactions Tab.
From here you can view all transaction and alarm activity for the facility you select.
NOTE: If you have been assigned the Manager or Administrator User Type, you can launch
WAMS Transactions from the Applications menu in WAMS Configurator.

AMS Transactions Overview
Transactions OverviewTransactions Overview
Transactions Overview
As activity takes place throughout the facility, WAMS tracks each event as a transaction. The
most obvious use of WAMS Transactions is to recognize and investigate when security has been
compromised. You can immediately locate the source of the alarm and take the action necessary
to respond according to your facility policy and procedure.
The WAMS gives each transaction in the database a unique ID, records the time and type of
transaction, the reader where the transaction occurred and the User ID and Group name
associated with the transaction. You can monitor all this activity, real time, from the WAMS
Transactions application. The transactions can be organized and sorted according to how you
want to use the data. In addition, you can temporarily pause data updating if you need to review
a transaction in more detail.
Reader and Portal Controls
WAMS Version 2.0 now provides access to reader and portal controls from within the WAMS
software. From here a user can override access levels of readers to unlock or lockout one or a
whole related group of readers. To use this feature, simply right click on the portal or reader and
select an option. For more information about this feature, see Portal and Reader Controls and
Portal and Reader Messaging in the Administrator’s Guide.
Transactions Tab
You can view all transactions as they occur in the Transactions Tab. Alarm transactions such as
Forced Entry or Anti Tamper display in red. Access requests “attempted but not allowed”
displays in yellow. Successful access requests display in black on a white background.
24 – USER’S GUIDE
WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
System transactions such as changing an access level or clearing an alarm display in blue on a
white background. To review and respond to alarms, select the Alarms Tab.
Alarms Tab
When an alarm is triggered, such as a door is blocked open or forced entry, the system creates
an alarm record. When you select the Alarms Tab, unanswered alarms display in red and
activate an alarm sound .wav file on your computers sound system. When you “silence” an alarm
in WAMS Transactions, you are simply telling the system that you have recognized the alarm
condition. The alarm sound .wav file will stop on your computer system for that alarm and the
display color changes to yellow. A log will be generated as to when the alarm was silenced. The
user can add a comment to this log to further define the incident.
Remember, when you “Silence” an alarm in WAMS Transactions, you are only silencing a .wav
file; you are not resolving the problem. It is important to establish Alarm Response protocols
within your facility and follow up with action. See Responding to Alarms on page 24 for more
information.

Transaction Types
Transaction TypesTransaction Types
Transaction Types
The WAMS database records transactions by category. Under normal operating conditions, the
most common transaction types will be Entry and Request to Exit. The system recognizes
various alarm and status categories, such as:
Alarm Cleared (All)
Alarm Cleared (Forced Entry)
Anti-Tamper
Organizing and Sorting Transactions
Organizing and Sorting TransactionsOrganizing and Sorting Transactions
Organizing and Sorting Transactions
WAMS makes it easy to manage high transaction traffic. You could view every transaction in the
system, real time. However, in large systems where hundreds of transactions can occur in a very
short time, you may want to limit the transactions displayed, or group them in a way that makes
sense for system activity. For example, you can limit the transactions list to only those that
occurred in the last ten minute timespan; you can sort ascending or descending by column
header; and you can arrange the columns in any order you wish. In addition, you can create a
hierarchy, rather than a columnar view.
Display by Timespan
By default, WAMS Transactions displays all transactions in the order they occur. If you are
monitoring all transactions, you may want to simply watch them as they occur. However, in large
systems, your effort may best be served by limiting transactions to only those that have occurred
in the previous ten minutes, or previous hour. WAMS gives you a number of options from All to
year to date.
To set the display timespan:
1. In the Transactions Tab, select the Facility you wish to monitor.
2. Under Timespan, select the timespan you wish to display from the drop-down list. The
display list on the right changes to reflect your selection.
26 – USER’S GUIDE
WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
NOTE: You can choose to always show the last transaction, no matter how you configure your
display. Select Show Transaction at the top of the display.
Sort by Column Header
You can sort WAMS Transactions by column header in ascending or descending order. This is
helpful, depending on what you are looking for. If you simply want to watch transactions in the
order they occur, the default setting—sorted by ID, descending—will display the most recent
transaction on the top line of the list. However, if you have an interest in viewing all the activity of
a particular user, you can sort alphabetically by User credential. As with common database
programs, you can move the columns in the column header to any order you wish. WAMS
Transactions will remember your changes and display in the new order when you next open the
program.
View Transactions in Tree Levels
You can display transactions similar to the way you view the Facility Tree in WAMS Configurator.
This is useful to minimize and organize the amount of data you view at one time.
USER’S GUIDE- 27
WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
In this example, we placed Transactions at the top of the tree; however, you can place them in
any hierarchy you wish. When you select the plus sign next to the top level, the second and third
level items expand to display. It’s easy to create a Transactions Tree: simply drag and drop the
column headers into position.
Responding to Alarms
Responding to AlarmsResponding to Alarms
Responding to Alarms
When an alarm occurs, the system immediately displays it in red in the Transactions Tab. The
alarm will be categorized as either an Anti-Tamper or a Forced Entry type. At this point, you will
take action according to your facility’s security plan. In a small facility, you may simply dispatch a
person to physically investigate the source of the alarm. In larger facilities with I/O devices in the
system, the alarm may trigger a video recorder, a lighting plan, or other I/O device. In either
case, you will respond to the alarm in WAMS Transactions using the alarms tab.
As with the Transactions Tab, you can sort the alarms in ascending and descending order with a
column, and change the order in which the columns display, and create an Alarms Tree.
Drag column headers to
the gray field at the top of
the list.
Click a plus sign to expand
the selection.

Generating Larger Reports
The more records you include in your report, the longer the report will take to generate. During
report generation, you can use other WAMS applications; however, you can generate only one
report at a time in the Reports application. If you define a report that will take more than 30
minutes to generate based on the records included, WAMS will present the following message:
In the example, WAMS detects that the defined report contains about 30,000 records and will
take more than 30 minutes to generate. If this is acceptable, simply select Yes and the report will
be generated. Select No if this is an inconvenient time to generate the report, or review your
report definitions to see if you can further filter the report and still get the information you need.
When you select Yes, the report begins to generate and WAMS displays the Elapsed Time as the
report runs.
Printing and Exporting Reports
Once you are satisfied with your report, you can print to a local or networked printer, or export the
report in several formats. Your results will be determined by the options you select and how you
wish to use the data. For example if you export to an Excel
®
file, you may get a different
formatting result than if you export to an Adobe Acrobat
®
file or print directly from WAMS.
However, you may wish to export to an Excel file and use the data in another format.
The following example was printed from an Adobe Acrobat .pdf file exported from WAMS reports.
It retains all the formatting as displayed in WAMS Reports.
