OpenPath Options Tab

The Options tab contains all the necessary settings for logging into the Avigilon Alta system.

 

User Name (email)
Enter the email address of the user that will be used to access the Avigilon Alta system.  It is recommended that you create a new user account as a service account with only enough permissions to send commands to door entries.

Note:  The user name used must be a valid user which has the necessary permissions to lock/unlock doors.

Password

Enter the password to login to the Avigilon Alta system.

Organization

Select the organization from the dropdown list that you want to control.  This list gets populated when the “Test Login” button is pressed and the connection test is successful.

Test Login Button

This button will attempt to login to the Avigilon Alta system.  If successful, the Organization list will be populated with all the organizations that the user has access to. In most cases, there will just be one organization listed.

Log API Requests

Check this option to generate DEBUG log entries for each request from Events2HVAC to the Avigilon Alta system.  This is primarily used temporarily for troubleshooting.  The logger must be logging DEBUG events for this data to show up in the log files.

Check this option to generate DEBUG log entries for each response from the Avigilon Alta system.  This is primarily used temporarily for troubleshooting.  The logger must be logging DEBUG events for this data to show up in the log files.

Note:  Make sure you turn this feature off after troubleshooting so that the response files don’t fill up your hard drive.
