Each definition line corresponds to one deviceroom. The first column defines the device room name. The device room name must be unique and is shown within the item tree the NETx BMS Server. The next column "Device ID" is optional. "Device Name" and "Device ID" are used to assign a web service notification to the corresponding item within the item tree. This means that either "Device Name" or "Device ID" must be the same as the Kaba software uses within the web service request. The 3rd column "Path" is used to must identically be the name that is used within the Fidelio/Opera system. If you do not know them, please ask the Fidelio/Opera integrator for the room list.

The next two columns "Building Name" and "Floor Name" are used to define an optional structure within the item tree. "Description" is used to provide additional information which is stored within the item property "Description". The remaining field "Persistent", "Historical" and "Synchronize" have the same functionality as for all other interfaces within the NETx BMS Server. The following figure shows an example where 1 door lock is defined.

The retrieved information from Kaba Fidelio/Opera is stored as Server Items. Each retrieved field from the web service request is stored as one server item. Regardless which fields are selected within the Messenger LENS interface, all fields are always shown within the NETx BMS Server.
