XPressEntry Admin Console

The XPressEntry Admin Console is the administrative console that manages all aspects of the XPressEntry system, including device and user management, live data feeds, reporting, and configuring connections to more than 36 access control systems.

• Seamless Access Control Integration: Ensure two-way communication between handheld devices and access control systems via configurable APIs and connection settings.
• Advanced Device Management: Control handheld reader profiles, activation of key features, and customization of validation screens to meet site-specific security protocols.
• User Role and Permissions Control: Manage who can access critical system data, configure security badges, and operate handheld devices in real-time.
• Live Data Monitoring & Reporting: Track entry / exit activity, occupancy levels, and handheld device statuses with real-time updates, supported by customizable reporting features.
• Robust System Configuration: Tailor protocols, security certificates, and settings for your organization’s unique security needs, whether deploying on-premises or via the cloud.
• Web Interface and Dashboard: Use any modern web browser to view and update any XPressEntry settings as well as see summary information in our updated dashboards.

The XPressEntry admin console is a powerful web-accessible administrative console that makes it easy for IT and Security administrators to manage and monitor the XPressEntry system. It provides a user-friendly interface to view important live data feeds and system information to make the most of the deployed XPressEntry handled badge and biometric readers in the system, enhancing physical security and worker safety in the workplace. For on-premises access control implementations, the XPressEntry admin console exists securely behind the firewall within the corporate local area network (LAN). All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Access Control Management

The XPressEntry Admin Console data manager manages the connection to the access control system and XPressEntry handheld badge and biometric readers. Specific capabilities include pulling live changes to access control data into XPressEntry, monitoring facility occupancy information, and pushing handheld data back to the access control system. Administrators can customize user defined fields (UDFs) to adjust what is seen on both the XPressEntry Admin Console and handheld readers. Running dual data managers in parallel is also available for facilities with two or more access control systems or for transitions from one access control system to another. The XPressEntry Admin Console software is built to keep up to date with updates to access control system APIs and versions.

Device Management

The XPressEntry Admin Console manages each XPressEntry handheld badge and biometric reader individually and assigns unique handheld reader profiles to any number of groups of devices as necessary. Administrators can design and customize validation screens and enable/disable specific modes and features. For example, administrators can enable or disable any variety of XPressEntry modes (Entry / Exit, Muster, Events, Enroll, Freedom, Survey, Visitor, Multi-User Entry), scanning (facial recognition, fingerprint, iris, OCR, Mifare NFC, and PIV credential scanning), and other features (PIN, automatically determine doors or gates based on handheld GPS location, anti-passback, cardholder search, camera, and validation color for different groups).

User Management

The XPressEntry Admin Console can manage who has access to the XPressEntry Admin Console and XPressEntry handheld badge and biometric readers. Administrators can create user roles and customize permissions for each role, controlling who can view and edit data, print security badges, and log in to handheld readers. For example, admins have full control, while others may only log in to XPressEntry handheld badge and biometric readers or the Client XPressEntry Admin Console with limited control. This feature ensures that only authorized personnel have access to devices, helping you maintain a high level of security.

Data Feeds and Reporting

The XPressEntry Admin Console provides visualizations of real-time facility occupancy information and entry / exit activities pulled directly from the access control system and all connected XPressEntry handheld readers. Administrators can monitor devices in real time and keep informed of any changes as they occur. This includes tracking where the last scans took place, handheld readers’ online or offline status, software version, and which door a handheld is assigned to. The XPressEntry Admin Console also supports SMTP email reports, making it easy to analyze data, help administrators make informed decisions, and improve physical security and worker safety.

System Configuration

The XPressEntry Admin Console provides various configuration options to tailor the system to meet IT and business requirements. Administrators can set up the XPressEntry Admin Console and configure HTTPS certificates, communication protocols for any security badge type or Wiegand format, long range RFID, and more. Telaeris technical support is always available to assist with installation and configuration of the XPressEntry Admin Console.

Don’t have a physical access control system (PACS) onsite? No problem. XPressEntry also works as a stand-alone solution, fully managed by the XPressEntry Admin Console.
