Sites basics

Accessia uses real world concepts to represent your building and how hardware is placed

In Accessia;

• A site represents a single physical location or address - a headquarters or regional office, for example.
• A site is made up of one or more floors
• Floors are constructed by uploading a floor plan image and then placing rooms on it. For example, meeting rooms, server rooms, and kitchens
• To connect rooms together on the floor plan, place doors between them, just as they are in reality
• Add hardware such as cameras, beacons, and kiosks inside rooms or by doors on the floor plan
• Rooms can be grouped together into optional zones when they share the same access rules, for example, rooms that only engineering teams have access to can be grouped into an engineering zone

In the example below,

• Doors are connecting rooms
• Hubs are in Server Room A
• Both Server Rooms are in a secure zone, highlighted in pink, and sharing the same access rules
• The Kitchen and Reception are in a common areas zone, highlighted in green, and also sharing the same access rules

Setting up a site

   1. Enter a name for your site, for example ‘New York - Avenue of the Americas’
   2. Select the local timezone of the site from the dropdown menu
   3. Enter the longitude and latitude of the site. You can find these using external tools such as https://www.latlong.net/

Accessia requires longitude and latitude information for location services features to work when users are onsite
