If an access control unit fails, you can replace it with a new, compatible unit. This
process copies over the configuration settings; associations to doors, elevators, and zones;
and event logs to the new unit.
What you should know
Replacing your access control unit requires that you temporarily deactivate the
Access Manager role.
CAUTION:
Not all settings are copied by the Unit
replacement tool. If you were using supervised inputs on the old unit, you will have to
reconfigure the inputs on the new unit.
