Axess Oracle Database: The database used for storing all Axess configurations, Sales transactions and guest photos (forwarded from Siriusware) and gate validation activity.

 

Axess Gate: The physical hardware used to grant/deny entrance to a given lift/location and encode RF chips from WTP reloads.

 

Axess SOAP EDE: A service installed by Axess that allows communication between Axess and Siriusware.

 

Siriusware Sales: The application used to sell and encode new Axess media and sell and encode reloads to existing Axess media. WTP reloads can also be generated from Sales for media-not-present transactions.

 

Siriusware E-Commerce: The Siriusware on-line shopping cart. Processing of web reload transactions via Sales Host utility updates SiriusSQL application and send updates to the Axess system for subsequent encoding of new information into corresponding RF chips directly by the Axess Gates. E-Commerce module can also sell new media, but the encoding process must occur by recalling a ticket sale and finalizing at a salespoint with an Axess printer or by looking up a finalized pass sale and printing/encoding a new piece of media for the new pass sale.

 

Siriusware SOAP EDE Interface: Stored Procedures within the SiriusSQL database used to forward new or updated WTP information to the Axess Oracle database. This interface is also used to gather scan data from the Axess Oracle database in order to generate scan (usage) data within SiriusSQL database.

 

Siriusware RF Serial Number (Axess Serial Number): A number that is a combination of the Site ID ([SmartPrinter] Project=## setting), Salespoint ID ([SmartPrinter] POS=## setting), and an incrementing number that is unique per every 50,000 access records (1-49,999) and every 50,000 pass records (50,000-99,999).

 

Note: The idea behind restarting the count with every 50,000 tickets or passes per salespoint is that at any given time, only one of those RF Serial Numbers are active. So, even though throughout several years the same RF Serial number could be generated, only one of those numbers would be relevant.

 

Siriusware WTP Number (Axess Chip ID): An alpha-numeric number that is unique per piece of RF media. The WTP number is a combination of several factors including the manufacturer chip number, the project or site ID and a check sum digit. The WTP number is used during the reload process in E-Commerce module and for media-not-present reloads in Sales.

 

Note: The same WTP number is written into the WTP field across multiple gst_pass and access records as these records represent the full history for that particular piece of media (all original purchases and reloads).
