This section lists the settings found in Synergis™ access control unit Properties tab, in the Access control task. This tab lets you update the connection parameters after the Synergis™ unit has been discovered, such as its logon credentials.
Connection settings
The connection settings are initialized when the Synergis™ unit is enrolled in your system. Do not change these settings unless you changed the unit's settings with the Synergis™ Appliance Portal after the unit has been enrolled, or one of our representatives instructs you to do so.- Web address
- Web address for contacting the Synergis™ unit's portal. If you change the web address to use the unit's IP address after it has been enrolled using its hostname, make sure to delete the IPV6 address from the Accepted Access Manager connections list on the Network page of the unit's portal. If the IPV6 address is not removed from the list, the next time the unit is disconnected, it will not reconnect.

- Unit password history
