Creating Mappable Import User Fields in OMNIA

Creating Mappable Import User Fields

When Importing Tagholder information into OMNIA and you want to import information that is not currently into OMINA

Site is importing Tagholders to OMNIA as has .CSV file with tagholder information.

The information currently in the .CSV file has information that is not currently available to map during the import.

For example the site has a column of information called Permit ID, the site would like this permit ID to be visible for tagholders in OMINA.

A User Field will need to be created in OMINA, this user Field will be available for import mapping after the creation.

Go to Enrollment, then Select User Fields.

Select the Plus to add a new User Fields

Name the User Field and Select Save

After you save the User Field you will see a Fields Tab, Select the Fields Tab

Select Add Field

Here you will be able to customize what and how information is entered for this Field.

Name the Field, the Name to be displayed for the User Field for Tagholder.

Select Enabled, 

Select the type of field. In this example we are using Single Line of text for the Permit ID number.

Select Save

After you select Save, more Options become available. You must now configure where the User Field will be visible and to whom.

Select Views

For this example, we only want the Permit ID to be viewable for Tagholders.


When you view a Tagholder, you will now see the User Field.

When you import the .CSV file, select the Destination, Permit ID will be available to select as a destination.

Changing the IP Address of a Previously Installed Controller using the Omnia Software/URL

Changing the IP Address of a Previously Installed Controller using the Omnia Software/URL

How to change controller IP in the OMNIA software using Network Settings.

If you are running OMNIA as a service and do not have the Discovery Tool downloaded on your PC/Server. You can change the IP to a controller using the OMNIA Software. 

Open OMNIA Select Setup>Networking>Network Settings



Choose the correct Controller you would like to make network changes


Once you choose the controller. Make sure to verify the IP you would like to use is available by using Command Prompt. Example type: ping 192.168.100.1 -t
This will perform a continuous ping of the IP address. To cancel: cntrl+c



Fill in the lines for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. Then Check the box to make it static. (NOTE: Do Not Select Safe IP) 
Type in your password. Default: masterkey
Select check mark to save.

Network Configuration – Best Practices

Network Configuration – Best Practices

The world has changed in many ways and computing devices are becoming more mobile and data is rapidly moving into widely distributed environments.  It is clear and increasingly necessary that industries evolve to provide solutions utilizing private and public communications methods in a safe and secure way.  This ranges from large scale complex computer networks down to the simplest of IoT devices.   Somewhere in the middle of all this, lies Physical Access Control Systems (PACS) and Video Surveillance such as those offered by Amano McGann.

Before we begin, it is our recommendation that you consult a network engineer or other professional when configuring your network, especially in cases involving access communications outside your local area network. In general, network configuration lies outside the scope of the access control software and must be configured properly to allow our system to function.

Our products and systems do not have any problem communicating over LAN, WAN and VPN networks where routing is done properly.  Wherever possible, avoid the use of NAT rules, port forwarding, public IP addresses, and the like and instead connect our system components within the same LAN.  If you must connect in any a scenario other than one on a LAN, you may experience difficulty with installation and day to day communications, especially when using public IP Addresses.

If you choose to utilize a public IP addresses (anything other than RFC1918 addresses), NAT rules, port forwarding, public IP addresses, etc. please be aware that we will NOT be able to support or troubleshoot communications issues you experience.

Routers, managed switches, and other complex networking components must be set up by network professionals.  If you must implement complex networking configurations, please realize that you may be utilizing a bit of a trial and error to setup and communicate with various components in the system.  

Network Requirements Specification 

Communications

  • 100Mbps Ethernet Network Interface (between Hardware and Server/Clients)
  • LAN, VPN and most properly configured WANs are supported.
  • Static IP addresses are strongly recommended for all system components including the server(s).

NOTE: While technically possible, hardware connected via the Internet using NAT Translation, port forwarding, public IP (non RFC1918 addresses) is not supported.  Please use a Local LAN whenever possible.

Remote Client Connection

When using a remote client computer, you must be able to communicate with the server via IP address or DNS name on the assigned TCP Port (defaults listed below).  

Network Ports

Both TCP and UDP protocols are utilized and require the following ports be open for the listed components.
