For your door entity to be functional, you must match the hardware wiring you made to
the door (reader connections, door locks, door sensors, REX’s, buzzers, and so on) in Security Center, so the Access Manager knows how to control the
door.
What you should know
The way you wire your door and assign the hardware interfaces affects how the door can
be secured and monitored. For example, if the door has an entry sensor, you can monitor
Door forced open and
Entry detected events. If a door side is configured with
an REX, access rules cannot be applied to that door side.
IMPORTANT: The door’s
hardware configuration must correspond to the I/O configuration you set for the access
control unit controlling the door.
Procedure
-
From the Config Tool homepage, open the Area
view task.
-
Select the door entity to configure, and click the Hardware
tab.
-
From the Preferred unit list, select the access
control unit that is connected to the door.
-
In the Door side (In) section, select the
Reader, Request to exit, and
Entry sensor from the drop-down lists, based on the door
wiring.
-
To change the door reader settings, click Reader settings
(
), configure the following, and then click Save:
- PIN entry timeout
- Sets the time that you have to enter the PIN after the card has been read. By default,
you have 5 seconds to enter all the PIN digits.
- Reader mode
- When the Unit default option is selected, the reader behaves in
either Card only or Card or PIN mode, depending on the unit-wide
parameters configured in the portal of the Synergis unit. For HID units, the reader
behaves in Card only mode. When the Card and PIN option is
selected, the reader behaves in Card and PIN mode when the selected
Schedule is active. Outside of the selected schedule, the
reader behaves as if you selected the Unit default option.
NOTE: Make sure your settings match the capabilities of your reader. The system cannot
validate the capabilities of your hardware. You can configure this type of reader on the
unit's Peripherals page.
-
Repeat the steps for the Door side (Out) section.
-
In the Additional connections section, assign the inputs and
outputs for the buzzer, door lock, lock sensor, and so on.
-
Click Apply.
-
Assign cameras that display each side of
the door to the door entity.
Example
If a physical door has the following installed, then the door entity must have a Card
In/REX Out configuration in Config Tool:
- A reader wired on Door side In
- An REX wired on Door side Out
- A strike relay on the door lock
- A door sensor
- An auxiliary relay wired to a buzzer
