Praesideo 3.5 | Installation and User Instructions | EN54-16: 2008 en | 49
13.6 Accessibility of indications and controls Praesideo is compliant.
Four access levels shall be provided on the VACIE, from
access level 1 (most accessible) to access level 4 (least
accessible). Manual controls at a given access level shall
not be accessible at a lower access level.The following
shall apply:
The Praesideo system offers three types of user accounts
(with different access rights):
• User: user account type that offers operational
control of the system; meant for operational users
of the Praesideo system;
• Installer: user account type that offers operational
control, configuration and diagnosis of the
Praesideo system; meant for installers and/or
configurators of the Praesideo system;
• Administrator: user account type that offers full
control of the system including user management,
i.e. the ability to add and delete user accounts.
Access level 1 is intended for operational users of the
Praesideo system. It provides direct (unrestricted)
operational access to the Praesideo system via:
• A call station that does not have access control
(call station keys)
Access level 2 is intended for operational users of the
Praesideo system. It provides operational access to the
system after (some form of) identification. The Praesideo
system enforces logical identification for the following
access points:
• A call station with access control (via numeric
keypad); a pin code must be entered before the call
station can be used
• The open interface; a username and password are
needed to connect to the Praesideo system via the
Open Interface); the user of the Open Interface
must at least have a user account of type ‘user’ (i.e.
user, installer or administrator access rights)
Note that access level 2 can also be enforced for the
access level 1 access points by means of physical access
control, which restricts access to persons that possess the
physical access device (e.g. key, access card, et cetera).
This is applicable for:
• Input contacts with physical access control; the
system components offering the input contacts are
located in a room/cabinet that is not generally
accessible
• The front panel menu (with physical access
control); the system components that have a front
panel menu are located in a room/cabinet that is
not generally accessible
• A call station with physical access control; the call
station is located in a room/cabinet that is not
generally accessible
Access level 3 is intended for installers and/or
configurators of the Praesideo system. It provides access
for configuration and diagnosis of the Praesideo system
after logical and/or physical identification. This level of
access is offered through:
• The web interface offered by the web server of the
network controller. A user name and password
need to be provided to get access to this web
interface. The user must have at least a user
account of type ‘installer’ (i.e. Installer or
administrator access rights). The web interface can
be used for configuration and logical diagnosis of
the system.
• Physical access control by means of installing the
system elements in a restricted environment, such
as placing the 19”-units in a 19”-rack with key lock.
This type of access can be used for physical
diagnosis of the system, e.g. inspect
interconnections.
Access level 4 is intended for maintenance personnel of
the Praesideo system. It provides software/firmware
upgrade of the Praesideo system components after logical
identification. This level of access is offered through:
• The file transfer application of the Praesideo
system to transfer message sets to the network
controller and upgrade the system software. A user
name and password is needed to be able to use
the File Transfer Application and get access to the
network controller. The user must have at least a
user account of type ‘Installer’ (i.e. installer or
administrator access rights).
