This manual describes how to install and set up the InfoPoint terminal. The product
is intended for use in reservation applications running within the Entro Access Con-
trol system. The unit is usually placed close to where it will reserve times e.g. a
conference room or a laundry room.
Note that the InfoPoint can exist in applications where ordinary PCs are also used
for similar functions.
The InfoPoint is a complete, intelligent TCP/IP-based terminal, which is similar to a
web browser in a PC.
The terminal consists of a colour screen and navigation keys.
The InfoPoint has a proximity reader for identifying the user and has the ability to
send and receive information to and from a web server in much the same way as
you can with a newspaper web site.
Available functions and commands are software controlled by the host system.
The InfoPoint is intended for integration within a system such as, for example, a
reservation system. InfoPoint requires a LAN connection and must have its own IP-
address. Furthermore the InfoPoint must be able to communicate with a web
server such as the Entro SR35i Segment Controller equipped with a CF8 memory
flash card.
Note that the InfoPoint can also operate with the older SR32i Segment Controller
but requires an upgrade of Entro software to version 4.7.
System Power supplies can be located centrally or locally to field hardware de-
pending upon individual installation considerations.
The system requires the use of proximity cards or tags.
