Setting Up Your Genea ACS + TK destination dispatch system
1. Navigate to the 'Integrations' tab in your global dashboard.

Designate the controller for TKE integration

Service Types:
Normal: If your controller is to be used for access control only and it is not to be integrated with TK.
TKE: A primary controller communicates directly with the TK DDS and can support up to 128 floors. There can only be one primary controller in the network. If you have more than 128 floors, please contact the Genea support team for assistance with configuration.
Once the controller is added, it is now time to add floors to the elevator.
Note: When the service type of the controller is set to "Normal," it supports regular access control readers. However, when the service type is set to "DD specific," the same controller can support both DD integration and regular access readers.
Adding floors to the elevator
1. To add floors to the elevator, go to Elevators > Floors from your dashboard.
2. Click +Add. Enter the maximum number of floors in a building and click Save.
3. You may also want to define certain floors that should be freely accessed by anyone such as floors comprising of lobby/reception, parking, or cafeterias/restaurants.
In Genea, you can define such floors as Public Floors. To configure any elevator floor as a public floor, click edit, enable Public Floor, select a schedule during which the floor will be having free access. Click Save. Elevator floors that are allowed public‐access will not require an access card to dispatch an elevator car.
Adding kiosks for TK Destination Dispatch System
1. Locate Elevators > Elevator Kiosks from your admin dashboard.
2. Click +Add to add a kiosk. Enter kiosk name, an optional description, and click Save.
3. Once the kiosk is added, it is now required to attach readers. To do so, click on "Attach Reader". Enter all the details and click Save.
Elevator Group: Within TKE, an elevator group signifies a collection of elevators strategically managed as a cohesive unit in a building's vertical transportation system. This arrangement aims to enhance elevator movement and efficiency by tailoring it to the distinct requirements and destinations of passengers. This information is accessible through the TK elevator application.
Kiosk ID: The Kiosk ID serves as a distinctive identifier assigned to an individual self-service kiosk situated on a specific floor within an allocated elevator group. This data is retrievable through the TK elevator application.
Sleep Mode: In Sleep Mode, the kiosk is set to a low-power state. The Kiosk exhibits a Sleep Mode screen until activated by a user swiping a card. Upon card swipe, the access control reads the card, and if access is granted, the kiosk wakes up.
For additional information, kindly reach out to Genea support at acsupport@getgenea.com.
Now that the TK Kiosk setup is done, go forward and create the elevator access groups.
