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 4.0/PE 4.0 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 4.0 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.

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 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. 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.
