Import Data From Other Access Control Systems (Optional) - infinias S-IMS-A Intelli-M Installation And User Manual

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
If you are new to the infinias system, some concepts and terms used in Intelli-M Access may be unfamiliar. Review these in "1.3
Important terms and concepts" on page 3 before continuing.

2.1 Import data from other access control systems (optional)

If your Intelli-M access control system does not replace or build upon another access control system, skip this subsection and
NOTE
continue with Chapter 3.
Intelli-M Access includes an import/export utility for extracting configuration information from other access control systems
(such as Supervisor Plus) and importing that data into Intelli-M Access. For large access control networks, this can save hours of
configuration time. Because of the complexity of the Door configuration in Intelli-M Access, however, Doors are not imported; they
need to be manually created in Intelli-M Access.
This utility imports data from other systems using a comma-delimited (CSV) text file. Data in CSV format may be exporting from
a third-party access control system, and then imported directly into Intelli-M Access. A sample CSV file is available on the infinias
website that describes the data format information.
To use the Import/Export Utility:
1. Click the Windows Start menu | All Programs | infinias | Import Utility. The startup page will open See below.
