Highpower Management System Enterprise Version 2.0 (HMSE)

HMS Enterprise is a more powerful evolution of the original HMS system.  HMS Enterprise throws out the limitations imposed by compatibility with older network types by being redesigned to work exclusively with the Model 8000 POE based door controller over Ethernet based networks.   HMS Enterprise provides the same familiar program interface as HMS with additional new features and improvements:

  - Designed exclusively to leverage the power of the Model 8000 Power-Over-Ethernet Access Controller.
- Client-Server based technology allows multiple computers managing the same access control system.
- Can handle virtually unlimited number of controllers (2 doors per controller).
- Virtually unlimited number of card holders with up to 10,000 card holders per door with some card formats.
- Real-Time card activity logging.
- HMSE Server runs as a Windows Service to log transactions even when the client software is not running.
- Email Alerts - HMSE can send emails notifying that a particular card or card holder has accessed the system.
- Hyper-Syncing - HMSE can synchronize with multiple controllers simultaneously (up to 32,000 units at one time!)
dramatically cutting down the time to update systems with many 8000 panels.
- Microsoft Excel spreadsheet data import.
- Redesigned Crystal Reports for data export to many formats.
- Re-optimized SQL code speeds up transactions with the Microsoft SQL database.
- Uses TCP/IP based Microsoft .NET Remoting for fast client transactions with the HMS Server.
- Fully .NET 2.0 code base tested to run on 32 & 64 bit Windows XP SP2, and 32 & 64 Bit Windows Vista.
- Software is licensed by number of doors or packaged as a kit with the affordable 8000 door controller.

Highpower Management System Version 1.4 (HMS)

The Highpower Management System is the most sophisticated user management system available for the Smart Series STA Readers and the new Highpower 8000 Door Controller.  The software allows the management of cards and card holders, schedules, holidays and door properties through the use of a Microsoft SQL Server database.  Using the information configured in the database, the software will fully coordinate and transmit information to all of the readers in the system.  The proper schedules, holiday and card information is transmitted to the appropriate reader automatically.  The package is written with the latest development tools and is specifically designed to run with Windows XP under the .NET 2.0 framework. 

The system also retrieves the log information from the reader and records this information in the SQL database.  Using this information, the software has a built-in report generating facility which will allow administrators to generate reports describing system activity.  Reports can be customized based on a particular card holder or door.

All common networks types are supported including RS-232, RS-422 in protocol mode and TCP/IP Addressed Ethernet.  Software fully supports both 7.X and 8.X firmware versions of the Smart series devices.  The system is not limited as to the number of users and cards handled in the system, but limitations can occur if you fill up all of the memory in the hardware.

Demonstration software can be ordered on CD.  The demonstration version of the software allows you to try out the software, and setup your system, but it will not transmit the data to the readers.  Once your system is setup with the demonstration software, you can contact Highpower to obtain a license which will unlock the software for a specific number of doors.  Highpower will provide you with unlock codes via telephone to unlock the software.  See the part number table for the appropriate license part number.
