The Andover Continuum CyberStation™ workstation software is a Microsoft® Windows®-based, colour graphic user interface. Continuum’s software provides powerful features and timesaving tools to control and monitor your Andover Continuum intelligent building system over a high-speed Ethernet LAN/WAN or single-user network.
Multi-User
Within a multi-user system, the Andover Continuum front end stores all your facility data,alarms, energy usage, building performance, maintenance records, personnel records, and time-and-attendance logs – in a single Microsoft ODBC-compliant SQL database. SQL is an industry-standard for databases, which means Continuum can also share information with your company’s existing information systems and networks.
All of this information is protected from unauthorised access through a sophisticated, yet simple,user-configurable “key” system. Individual keys unlock different portions of the software – for example, classes of objects, actions performed by an operator, and access to individual objects.The system administrator assigns each operator a “virtual key chain”, or access privileges, to these various portions of the software.
The Andover Continuum workstation consists of a series of applications that interact seamlessly and appear transparent to the user. OLE (object linking and embedding) automation provides in-place access to applications such as Microsoft Word™ or Excel™, Netscape Navigator™, and Visio™. In addition, Continuum’s numerous application editors and configuration wizards make setting up your system easy.
