To synchronize synchronize and manage the Castle ACS and Intellect ACFA configurations configuration, do the following:

1. Go to the Synchronization parameter group on the settings panel of the Castle server object.
   

2. Set the Use auto synchronization checkbox to automatically rewrite all access parameters to Castle Server with a specified interval (1). The synchronization is only performed if a change occured in users' parameters between synchronization intervals. If there were no changes, the configuration is not rewritten.

3. In the Synchronization interval, h field, set the period (in hours) of parameters synchronization (2).

4. To read Castle ACS access points configuration stored on Castle server click the Hardware synchronization button (3).

5. (1) if it is necessary to send data from the Access Manager module to the Castle server after a specified time period.

6. In the Password field (2), enter the time period in hours after which the data of the Access Manager module will be sent to the Castle server.

   Info
   title Note
   The time period count starts from the moment the Castle integration module is launched.

   
   

7. Click the Hardware synchronization button (3) to read the Castle ACS configuration stored on the Castle server and to build the corresponding object tree in the ACFA-Intellect software package.

8. Set the Dynamic checkbox (4) if it is necessary to automatically send the changed data of the Access Manager module to the Castle server

   To send ACFA Intellect configuration to Castle server click the Save configuration button (4).

   Note
   title Attention!
   This action is to be performed after configuring interaction between Intellect and Castle servers.

   Set the Dynamic sending checkbox to enable constant connection between Intellect and Castle servers (5).

   Note
   title Attention!
   The Dynamic sending checkbox is always to be checked for To ensure the proper operation of Castle integration  integration module. If it is not, use Save configuration or Send AM data to controllers every time you change hardware or user parameters correspondingly.

9. Click Send AM data to controllers to send configuration of ACFA Intellect users to Castle controllers (6).

Set the Transmit command to record to controllers checkbox to enable automatic sending of ACFA Intellect users configuration to controllers after clicking Save configuration (7).

Info
title Note.
If the Transmit command to record to controllers checkbox is not set, click Send AM data to controllers (6) every time after clicking Save configuration (4).

10. Click the Apply button.

11. , it is required that the Dynamic checkbox is always set.

    
    

12. Info
    title Note
    In order to speed up the autosync process, the following user sending logic is used. The users who have at the time of synchronization:

...

1. the card issue date, which has not yet

...

1. come;

...

1. the card expiration date that has already passed;

...

1. access levels that are unrelated to the the controllers of this Castle server;

...

1. or the User locked property are not written to the controller.

   
   

2. Click the Send SPR button (5) to send the data from the Access Manager module to the Castle server.

   Note
   title Attention!
   The Castle server connection to ACFA-Intellect should be configured prior to performing this action.

   
   

3. Click the Send AM data to controllers button (6) to send the previously sent data of the Access Manager module to the Castle controllers.
4. Click the Apply button (7).

Synchronization and management of Castle ACS configuration are now complete ACS and Intellect ACFA configurations are now synchronized.
