1. Introduction
The Messerschmitt Handheld Terminal HHT 2008 is used to initialize and to readout transactions of
reader units of the Messerschmitt Door Locking System HOCAS.
The device is scheduled for the contact free transponder card system and the magnetic card system. The
communication with the reader units can be made via serial cable connection or infrared.
The programs and the data base which included in delivery are located in the non volatile memory of the
Handheld Terminal – on an external memory card.
Even after voltage breakdown, the data and the applications, which stored on the memory card, stay
there.
The following documentation refers to the handling of the Handheld Terminal as well as the related
PC Software “hhtdock_v3.exe“.
You can find technical details of the reader units in the corresponding descriptions.
The ports for the wall plug transformer and the USB
cable are located at the top of the device. Here you
also can find the infrared interface and the power
switch.
The SD card slot is located at the bottom of the
device.
The accumulator panel and the RESET button are
located on the backside of the device.
Pay Attention!
Don’t use the Messerschmitt HHT with customary
batteries!
Just use the original power adaptor (don’t use power adaptors >9VDC)!
With switching on or resetting the Handheld Terminal you get to the login dialog.
Before using the handheld application, the users have to authenticate themselves.
The login data will be established with the HOCAS software on the Messerschmitt PC and will be
transferred during the data interchange with the Handheld Terminal.
Like in the program HOCAS2004, the users have to login with their name and password.
According to the user rights the menu items of the main menu will be fade in, if the login was successful.
Over the different buttons, depending to the rights of the logged in user, the user can access to the
different functions of the application.

Button „Setup“
Displays a dialog, where settings of the application can be changed.
Button „About“
A dialog with information about the software version and the contact addresses of the support.
Button „Logout“
The software will be terminated after confirmation.
The basic settings like the used interface will be made during the setup of the Handheld Terminal with the
PC Software. You also can directly change this settings with the “Setup“ dialog in the Handheld
application.
Listbox „Interface“
Here, the user can choose the used communication interface. The possibilities are communication via
infrared ("IrDA") and communication via cable ("COM1: cable").
Listbox „Card format“
The card format has only effects to specific parameters during the initialisation of reader units and to
listed data, which are displayed in the information dialog.
Listbox „Time until IDLE Mode“
If there are no submissions on the Handheld Terminal during this time, the device switches automatically
in the IDLE mode – the maximum time that can be choose are 5 minutes.
Listbox „Time until Sleep Mode“
If there are no submissions on the Handheld Terminal during this time, the device switches automatically
off – the maximum time that can be choose are 10 minutes.
The Setup dialog loads the current settings. After quitting this dialog with the “OK” button, the set values
are immediately active.
The dialog “Information“provides information about the current configuration of the current reader unit. It
will be shown without limitation, the room number, the type of reader, the security numbers, the special
areas and the current date and time of the unit.
Button „Read“
Reads out the configuration of the current reader unit and shows the information in a list.
Button „Back“
The dialog will be quit immediately.
Every card action on a reader unit will be saved in a special memory. This memory can be readout with
the help of the “Transactions” dialog. The containing entries will be referred to the current room, saved
into a spreadsheet and can be transferred later to the Messerschmitt PC to work on it.
The “Transactions“dialog offers next to the reading out of saved transactions the possibility to analyse
happened access failures.
Button "Read"
It will be display the new entries since last reading out. The transactions memory of the reader units can
store a maximum of 400 actions.
If this memory is filled up, the oldest entries will be overwritten by the newest transactions.
Button "Back"
The dialog will be quit immediately.
Every reader unit has to be initialized and to be configured after the installation. This procedure happens
with the menu item „Initializing“
In the process the reader gets the room number (e.g. number of the guest room for guest readers) as well
as additional data to limit the access (personal areas / groups and so on).
Furthermore the clock of the reader unit will be synchronized with the clock of the Handheld Terminal.
The data for the reader units have to define on the Messerschmitt PC with the application “HOCAS2004“
and have to be transferred via data transfer to the Handheld Terminal.
The initialisation of a reader unit starts with the choice of a room ( „Room no.“). Depending on the type of
the reader unit, it will be displayed a specified input mask, in which the access data for the chosen room
will be shown. This is used for the initialisation and data can be adjust, however the changed data will not
be written into to the Handheld Terminals data base. Because of that, modifications of the access data
should be done on the Messerschmitt PC. They can be transfer to the Handheld Terminal later.
The input field "log. no." has only relevancy for locker locks and is locked for all other types of devices.
Button„Init“
During the initialisation, the access data will be transferred to the reader unit.
Finally, the “Transactions“memory will be reset.
Button „Back“
The dialog will be quit immediately.
Guest readers are generally reader units which are installed on guest doors. These doors only accept the
cards, that are encoded for that room and additional staff cards (e.g. Housekeeping), too.
The values that have to be set are stored in the database of the Handheld Terminal for each room and
will be set in the input mask of this dialog with the choice of a room number. Here you can change the
values afterwards if it is necessary, but changes will not be written into the database of the handheld!
Group readers can be configured in away, that they accept guest cards from several rooms, which is
suitable to manage suites. The assignment, which guest card will be accepted, have to be done with the
help of the management software HOCAS on the System PC.
The values inclusive the guest room relationship, that have to be set are stored in the database of the
Handheld Terminal and will be loaded in an internal puffer with the choice of a room number.
Staff readers check only the special areas besides the temporary limited permissions of a card.
In distinction from special readers, staff readers don’t accept guest cards.
The values that have to be set are stored in the database of the Handheld Terminal for each room and
will be set in the input mask of this dialog with the choice of a room number. Here you can change the
values afterwards if it is necessary, but changes will not be written into the database of the handheld!
Special area readers check, if a temporal valid access card has the permission to access a special area.
If the area checking is disabled (special area = “none”), every valid card of the house will be accepted.
Because of that, special area readers are often used on main entrances.
The values that have to be set are stored in the database of the Handheld Terminal for each room and
will be set in the input mask of this dialog with the choice of a room number. Here you can change the
values afterwards if it is necessary, but changes will not be written into the database of the handheld!
The initialisation of a lift reader always depends on the structural conditions of the current house.
The values that have to be set are stored in the database of the Handheld Terminal for each room and
will be set in the input mask of this dialog with the choice of a room number. Here you can change the
values afterwards if it is necessary, but changes will not be written into the database of the handheld!
The values that have to be set are stored in the database of the Handheld Terminal for each room and
will be set in the input mask of this dialog with the choice of a room number. Here you can change the
values afterwards if it is necessary, but these will not be taking over in the database of the handheld!
Staff locker
The locker can be used with a staffcard. The staffmember has to be assigned manually by choosing from
the drop-down list.
Additional to the data for the initialisation, the reader unit needs information about the type of opening the
door (e.g. how and how long should be open). These values are pre-defined and can be configured in the
menu “Parameter”.
Button "Back"
The dialog will be quit immediately. Changes of the parameters of a reader unit will not be made.
Opening mode
This choice gives information about the kind of installation of the Key Card unit. That means, if the unit is
placed on the door or placed on the wall (for special doors). For wall installations, a potential-free contact
will be switched during the green LED is lighted up.
Daylight saving
These 2 values give information about the intercalary months from the standard to the daylight time and
from the daylight to the standard time.
The values are needed for the automatic correction of the internal reader clock. If there is no value set,
the automatic time correction is disabled.
Alternate opening
This value defines weather the reader opens and closes the door alternate. That means, the door will be
stayed open till a valid card is used to close the door.
Button „Read“
This option reads out and displays the internal clock of the current reader unit.
Button „Set“
This option corrects the internal clock of the current reader unit with the given values for date and time.
Button „Back“
The dialog will be quit immediately.
Pay Attention: The internal reader unit has to be corrected, if the power supply was interrupted (e.g.
battery change). The clock will automatically be set with the initialisation of reader units via Handheld
Terminal.
The reader units save the timeslots in form of a spreadsheet with 32 entries. The entries 0 to 29 are used
for the staff entrance.
Entry 30 describes the time period for the automatic door opening and the entry 31are used for the guest
entrance on special area readers. These values can be set here.
Pay Attention: There will be encoded the number of the timeslot on the staff cards, not the times.
Because of that, the timeslots on the System PC have to be the same like the timeslots in the reader units
and the timeslots, which are set in the Handheld Terminal. Potential changes have to be changed first on
the System PC. Values, that are changed via Handheld Terminal will not be stored in the handheld
terminal and so, they can not transferred to the System PC
Button „Set“
This option transfers the displaying timeslots of the list to the reader unit.
Button „Back“
The dialog will be quit immediately.
With the help of the data transfer software „hhtdock_v3.exe“ data can exchanged between the HHT and
