Configuring Axis controller peripherals - Synergis Softwire 11.4.3

To configure the input contacts, output relays, and readers attached to the Axis controller, you must make your changes in Config Tool and the Synergis™ Appliance Portal.

To configure the output settings of an Axis controller:

1. Log on to the Synergis unit.
2. Click Configuration > Hardware.
3. For A1601 controllers, configure the auxiliary I/O ports to be used as inputs or outputs, as required.
4. For A1001 controllers, configure the settings, as required.
   For more information about each setting, see the Axis documentation.

To configure the input settings of an Axis controller:

1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Access control task, and click the Roles and units view.
2. From the entity tree, select the Synergis unit, and click the Peripherals tab.
3. Expand the Axis controller that you want to modify, select an input, and then click Edit ().
   
4. In the Edit input dialog box, make changes, as required.
   Example:

   
   NOTE: The available settings depend on the input that you select. On A1601 units, I/O 1, 2, 3, 4, 13, and 14 cannot be supervised when configured as inputs.

   Name

   Input device name.

   Logical ID

   Must be unique among all peripherals attached to the same unit.

   Shunted

   Select this option to ignore the inputs. Once shunted, the state of the input remains at Normal, regardless of how you trigger it.

   NOTE: If the door is forced open, the Door forced open event is still generated in Security Center, even if the door input is shunted.

   Contact type

   Set the Normal state of the input contact and its supervision mode.

   Not supervised/Normally closed

   The normal state of the input contact is closed, and the access control unit does not report that the input is in the trouble state.

   Not supervised/Normally open

   The normal state of the input contact is open, and the access control unit does not report if the input is in the trouble state.

   4-state supervised/Normally closed

   The normal state of the input contact is closed, and the access control unit reports when the input is in the trouble state.

   4-state supervised/Normally open

   The normal state of the input contact is open, and the access control unit reports when the input is in the trouble state.

5. Click Save, and then click Apply.
