The operator can select which areas to view by
selecting the appropriate branch on the Tracking
Area tree. If the top level is selected, card reads from
all areas are displayed. Reports can also be generated
from the Tracking Areas.
When a card is presented at a muster reader, it is
removed from the tracking area and is listed in the
muster area. A report of these card reads can be
printed.
Muster Areas
Like tracking areas, muster areas are also logical
areas, not defined by the hardwiring of the system.
[Muster readers are not used for controlling a door.]
Muster areas contain readers that are only used by
card holders if there is a call for muster (e.g. in the
event of a disaster).
Several different muster areas can be created.
The Muster View displays card read events. A report
can be run on cards presented in an individual
muster area or at all muster areas.
In normal conditions no transactions are recorded at
muster readers. They are only used if there is a muster
call, usually in an emergency.
Nesting Areas
The concept of nesting is not unique to the tracking
system, but does take on considerable significance
when planning for disaster management, and can
change the way tracking reports are generated.
When an area is nested in another area, its readers
are also part of that area. The general principle of
nesting is that readers used to enter an area [or move
about within the area] should be listed under the
tracking area in the Tracking Areas database.
