WIN-PAK ® PE API
Application Programming Interface (API)
Honeywell’s WIN-PAK® software suite provides a range of
solutions from access control only to fully integrated security
solutions. WIN-PAK’s powerful user interface allows integrators to
install a single software for all of their customers’ security needs.
When using WIN-PAK's excellent access control functionality,
certain applications require connectivity to third party systems,
where multi-technology and multi-brand integration is needed.
WIN-PAK PE (Professional Edition) API provides the
interface between WIN-PAK SE 3.0/PE 3.0 and third party
systems, such as Human Resources (HR) systems or software
monitoring platforms.
The API is a tool for software developers, with Visual C++
programming knowledge, that allows WIN-PAK to be connected
with the client system. The API operates with the access control
part of WIN-PAK only and consists of two parts:
Database API: This API provides the tools to add, delete and
modify the WIN-PAK database records, such as card holder
and card information, access levels, holidays and time zones.
Communication API: This API provides the programming
interface to monitor and control the access control hardware
devices and elements, such as access control panels, inputs,
outputs and readers.
WIN-PAK PE API optimises system performance between
WIN-PAK PE 3.0 and the WIN-PAK API Client (3rd party
system). In these scenarios the WIN-PAK system provides an
excellent access control solution, where the API client is the
overarching system that monitors and controls WIN-PAK’s
access control hardware.
In customer applications where multiple systems need to
communicate with one another in real-time, WIN-PAK’s API
provides the tools to create the solution for the access control part.
When the integrated application has been completed, the Host
platform is then able to lock and unlock doors and change reader
modes in the WIN-PAK controlled hardware. Also adding and
modifying cards and card holder information, time zones, holidays
and access levels can be done from the host platform.
For applications requiring a single point of data entry and control
of employees and subsequent card holder status, such as a
Human Resources application or even government systems, the
API is the right tool for the job.

BENEFITS
Save time by controlling and
monitoring access functions
from a host platform
WIN-PAK access control in third
party, multi brand platforms
Access control has traditionally been brand
specific business where software relates only
to hardware of the same brand. Open
platforms that support multi brand
technologies and functionality are becoming
more common in security systems and building
management/administration systems. The
WIN-PAK PE API allows WIN-PAK to connect
to those third party systems, making WIN-PAK
an even more popular platform for integration.
The API provides communication with
the host platform, enabling operators
to control doors and readers in the
access system without switching
between systems. This saves time and
effort for the operator in responding to in
security events.
Sharing and connecting
WIN-PAK database records for
common use
Compatibility with Human Resources
and other administrative systems
Using WIN-PAK PE API, solutions not
previously supported by WIN-PAK, such
as biometric systems, can be supported.
By connecting the biometric templates
database to the WIN-PAK card holder
records, WIN-PAK API is able to
seamlessly deliver full system
functionality.
More and more organisations are requiring a
single point of entry for their employees data
and access security levels. Human Resources
or Time and Attendance systems are
commonly used as the single point of entering
data and when integrated with the API, the HR
system would automatically write the security
elements for the access control system into
the WIN-PAK access control system.
