# Gallagher

> Connect Gallagher Command Centre to Nexudus, so customers open doors with their cards or PIN based on their passes, bookings and contracts, and zone access checks them in.

## Overview

**Gallagher Command Centre** is access control that runs on a server at your location. Nexudus connects to it through Gallagher's cloud gateway. The integration adds your customers to Command Centre as cardholders and puts them in the right **access groups** based on what they have in Nexudus. You decide which doors each group opens in Command Centre; Nexudus decides who's in each group.

The integration costs **£50 a month per location** (shown in your currency), on top of what Gallagher charges. You need a Command Centre system, and Gallagher must set up the cloud gateway for it — contact Gallagher support to arrange this.

## How access works

| Customers get access through | When |
| - | - |
| **Passes** | While the pass is active — including passes included in their plan, passes shared by their team, and the pass they're checked in with. |
| **Resource bookings** | From about 15 minutes before the booking starts until it ends. Customers added as guests to the booking get the same access. |
| **Desks and offices** | While the desk or office is on one of their active contracts. If a team's paying member holds the contract, the whole team gets access. |

The access times and days set on a group in Command Centre always apply — Nexudus can't change them. Make sure they match when your passes can be used.

Desk and office access ends shortly after midnight at the start of the contract's cancellation date. To let a customer in on their last day, give them a pass with access, or move the cancellation to the next day.

## Before you start

* Get your **API key**, **Division ID** and **Card type** from Gallagher, and the **Access event types** you want Nexudus to read.
* Create your access groups in Command Centre — they can only be created and edited there. Each group should include every door a customer needs, such as the building entrance as well as the room.

## Settings

| Setting | What to enter |
| - | - |
| **Region** | Your cloud gateway region: **United States** or **Australia / New Zealand**. |
| **Gallagher API Key** | The API key Gallagher gave you. |
| **Division ID** | The Command Centre division customers are added to. |
| **Issue Level** | The issue level for new cards. Leave at zero unless Gallagher tells you otherwise. |
| **Card type** | The card type customers' cards are created as. The most common type is filled in for you. |
| **Access event types** | The Command Centre event types that count as access, separated by commas. The most common ones are filled in for you. |
| **Use customer Pincode as Gallagher User code** | Customers use their Nexudus PIN as their Gallagher PIN. |

## Giving customers cards

Open the customer, go to **Account → Access rights**, and enter each card number in **Access cards**, pressing Enter after each one. Nexudus adds the cards to the customer's cardholder record in Command Centre.

## Checking customers in from zone access

Under **Presence tracking**, set each zone's **Action**: **Check customer in** (for example, your main entrance), **Check customer out**, **Toggle customer check-in status**, or **Do nothing**. Customers without a valid pass can still open doors their groups allow, but their check-in is recorded as failed.
