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 home page, open the Area
view task.
-
Select the door entity to configure, and click the Hardware
tab.
-
From the Preferred unit drop-down 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
(
).
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.
- PIN entry timeout
- This sets the entry timeout for the PIN after the card has been read. For example, at
the default (5 seconds), you have 5 seconds to enter all the PIN digits.
- Use card and PIN
- Set to ON to change the reader mode to Card and PIN and use the
Schedule drop-down list to select when this mode applies. When
not in a scheduled time period, the reader behaves in Card only mode.
-
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.
-
Link 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

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
