SIP PoE IP65 Wiegand
Akuvox is a global manufacturer of SIP-based smart intercoms, combining security, Android OS, cloud management, ONVIF, and AI facial recognition. The R29 is a professional IP video door station with a 7-inch Android touchscreen, facial recognition, RFID card reader (13.56 MHz and 125 kHz), built-in camera, and PoE power. The E16 is a 5-inch IPS indoor monitor that receives calls from the R29 and allows remote door release. Both devices are SIP-standard compliant and integrate with third-party access control systems via Wiegand and RS485 outputs. UK distribution is through CIE-Group and Akuvox UK.

Door Strike Wiring: All door strike wiring should be home-run directly to the R29 relay interface. Do not daisy-chain door strikes. Check the relay contact rating (3A 30VDC) against the door strike specification before connection. For magnetic locks drawing more than 3A, use an external relay or power supply with relay output.
Installation Notes
The Akuvox R29 is surface-mounted or flush-mounted using the supplied bracket. Install at a height suitable for both standing and wheelchair users (800–1,200 mm to centre recommended for DDA compliance). The camera is fixed-angle — ensure the installation height provides a clear view of visitors' faces. The E16 indoor monitor is typically wall-mounted at 1,400–1,500 mm to centre. Ensure adequate network infrastructure (PoE switch with sufficient budget) before installation.

## Zone Types and Descriptions

**Regulated Zones (Feature 8.60)**
This feature introduces a new 'Regulated Zone' Command Centre item for monitoring Cardholders. The Regulated Zone is separate from Access Zones (but potentially encompasses one or multiple Access Zones), and is used to define the on-site area that is monitored by pre-configured time limits.

The 'Regulated Zones' feature monitors Cardholders using the following parameters (rules):
1.  **Cumulative duration:** Used to monitor Cardholders' accumulated time-on-site across multiple shifts. An event is raised when a Cardholder has been inside the Regulated Zone for a period greater than the configured cumulative shift duration, within a specified period of time.
2.  **Break duration:** Used to monitor Cardholders' minimum break periods between shifts. An event is raised when a Cardholder re-enters the Regulated Zone within the minimum break period. A temporary exit grace period can be configured to define a period of time a Cardholder is allowed off-site before they are considered to be between shifts.
3.  **Maximum duration:** Used to monitor Cardholders' time-on-site within a single shift (period of time). An event is raised when a Cardholder has been inside the Regulated Zone for a period of time greater than the configured shift length.
4.  **Predictive cumulative duration:** Used to monitor Cardholder accumulated time-on-site across multiple shifts and predict if a Cardholder will exceed the cumulative limit (total time limit across shifts). When a Cardholder enters the Zone, a rule is checked: will the Cardholder end up at or above the cumulative limit if they stayed in the Regulated Zone for the Expected shift duration. If yes, a predictive alarm is raised.
5.  **Shift management:** Used to monitor Cardholders' shift patterns and optionally enforce Cardholders' compliance with shift patterns. An alarm is raised when a Cardholder enters the Regulated Zone before the first day of their shift. An alarm is also raised when a Cardholder does not exit site when their shift ends. Grace periods can be configured to allow Cardholders to enter site one, two or three days before their shift starts, and leave one, two or three days after their shift ends.

### Programming and Commissioning from ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROLLER-6000 / EASY-SOFT 6000 manual
**1.5 Modes of Use**
The Controller-6000 can operate in two modes:
*   **Autonomous mode (with PALM):** The controller operates independently, typically with an IRDA connection module and the PICADOR handling program for PALM devices. This mode is limited to a single controller and does not support parallel connections. Switches 7 and 8 must be in the ON position for this mode.
*   **Centralised mode (with PC):** This mode allows multiple controllers to be connected in parallel and managed through the EASY-SOFT 6000 program. Each controller needs to be codified with its network position using DIP-switches. For remote control, a CONTROLLER-6000 modem is connected between the RS485 interface and the controller, along with a telephone line.

## Common Fault Diagnosis

### Gallagher SMB Troubleshooting for Installers (General Troubleshooting)

**Controller Offline Incident:**
*   **Step 1: Check Config app and Controller state.** Monitor the Config app to confirm when the Controller comes online. Inform the customer when the system has reconnected.
*   **Step 2: Check Bluetooth reader flashing orange.** If it is, there may be an issue with the Controller. Check the power supply (voltage should be 13.6V ±15%). Then, power cycle the controller.
*   **Step 3: Check internet connection.** If the site doesn't have a cellular router installed, check the site's internet connection and restart the site's internet router. If this doesn't resolve the issue, restart the Controller.
*   **Step 4: Contact Gallagher Support Team.** If the Controller is still failing to connect.

**AC Mains Fail Incident:**
*   **Step 1: Check Customer app for active alarm.** If the red alarm icon has disappeared, the alarm is no longer active, indicating the system has power again. The incident can now be closed. If still active, check power and battery on-site.
*   **Step 2: Check site power.** If no power, there may be a power cut, and the battery should have kicked in.
*   **Step 3: Check and replace battery if necessary.**

**Low Battery Incident:**
*   **Step 1: Check Customer app for active alarm.** If the red alarm icon has disappeared, the alarm is no longer active, indicating the battery is no longer low. The incident can now be closed. If still active, check battery on-site.

## Zone Types and Descriptions

**Regulated Zones (Feature 8.60)**
This feature introduces a new 'Regulated Zone' Command Centre item for monitoring Cardholders. The Regulated Zone is separate from Access Zones (but potentially encompasses one or multiple Access Zones), and is used to define the on-site area that is monitored by pre-configured time limits.

The 'Regulated Zones' feature monitors Cardholders using the following parameters (rules):
1.  **Cumulative duration:** Used to monitor Cardholders' accumulated time-on-site across multiple shifts. An event is raised when a Cardholder has been inside the Regulated Zone for a period greater than the configured cumulative shift duration, within a specified period of time.
2.  **Break duration:** Used to monitor Cardholders' minimum break periods between shifts. An event is raised when a Cardholder re-enters the Regulated Zone within the minimum break period. A temporary exit grace period can be configured to define a period of time a Cardholder is allowed off-site before they are considered to be between shifts.
3.  **Maximum duration:** Used to monitor Cardholders' time-on-site within a single shift (period of time). An event is raised when a Cardholder has been inside the Regulated Zone for a period of time greater than the configured shift length.
4.  **Predictive cumulative duration:** Used to monitor Cardholder accumulated time-on-site across multiple shifts and predict if a Cardholder will exceed the cumulative limit (total time limit across shifts). When a Cardholder enters the Zone, a rule is checked: will the Cardholder end up at or above the cumulative limit if they stayed in the Regulated Zone for the Expected shift duration. If yes, a predictive alarm is raised.
5.  **Shift management:** Used to monitor Cardholders' shift patterns and optionally enforce Cardholders' compliance with shift patterns. An alarm is raised when a Cardholder enters the Regulated Zone before the first day of their shift. An alarm is also raised when a Cardholder does not exit site when their shift ends. Grace periods can be configured to allow Cardholders to enter site one, two or three days before their shift starts, and leave one, two or three days after their shift ends.

# Genetec Security Center Access Control - Comprehensive Technical Reference

## Manufacturer and Product Name

**Manufacturer:** Genetec Inc.
**Product:** Security Center (specifically Synergis Access Control)

## 1. Synergis Master Controller (SMC) Configuration Guide 2.1

### 1.1 Introduction to Synergis Master Controller

**What is Synergis Master Controller?**
Synergis Master Controller (SMC) is Genetec’s access control unit that supports a variety of third-party interface modules over IP, USB, and RS-485. SMC is seamlessly integrated to Security Center, and is capable of making the access control decisions independently of the Access Manager. SMC and accessories can be housed inside an enclosure that make up the Synergis access control system.

**Components:**
*   **Controller module:** Processing component of SMC with IP capability, pre-loaded with the controller firmware and a web-based administration tool, Controller Portal.
*   **Four-port RS-485 module:** RS-485 communication component of SMC with four ports (or channels) named A, B, C, and D. The number of interface modules you can connect to each channel depends on the type of hardware you have. In configurations where interface modules only use IP or USB connections, the Four-port RS-485 module is not needed.

### 1.2 Getting started with Controller Portal

Synergis™ Cloud Link is an intelligent and PoE-enabled access control appliance of Genetec Inc. that supports a variety of third-party interface modules over IP and RS-485. Synergis™ Cloud Link is seamlessly integrated with Security Center and is capable of making access control decisions independently of the Access Manager. Synergis™ Cloud Link and accessories can be housed inside an enclosure that are part of a Synergis™ IP access control system.

**Hardware Features:**
*   **RS-485:** Four embedded RS-485 communication ports (or channels) named A, B, C, and D. The number of interface modules you can connect to each channel depends on the type of hardware you have. When starting an RS-485 bus from the Synergis™ Cloud Link for HID module communication, you must set the associated termination DIP switch to ON. You must also set the termination jumper on the last connected module on the RS-485 bus.
*   **USB1 and USB2:** For maintenance use only. Not evaluated by UL.
*   **LAN1 and LAN2:** Two Ethernet LAN ports for connection to the IP network. Synergis™ Cloud Link can be powered using an Ethernet connection (PoE). Connecting to Security Center through the LAN 2 port has not been evaluated by UL and is for supplementary use only.

### 4.2 DIP Switch Command Codes for Synergis Cloud Link

You can use the DIP switches on the Synergis™ Cloud Link to run hardware commands. There are four DIP switches labelled 1 to 4. To run a command, set the DIP switches as indicated in the table below and press the EC button for one second. If the code is valid, the status LEDs will flash green for the process of the command, otherwise they flash red for one second. Synergis™ Cloud Link automatically performs a software restart after you have run a command.

**BEST PRACTICE:** To prevent an accidental configuration reset, always set the DIP switches back to ON ON ON ON after running a command.

| S1 | S2 | S3 | S4 | Command Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | Resets the Synergis™ Appliance Portal logon password to factory default (softwire). |
| ON | OFF | OFF | OFF | Resets all settings to factory default. This command has the following effects:
    *   Resets the Synergis™ Appliance Portal logon password to factory default (softwire).
    *   Resets the network addressing mode to DHCP.
    *   Resets the discovery port to 2000.
    *   Deletes all hardware (connected interface modules) configurations.

### 1.1 Introduction to Synergis Master Controller

**What is Synergis Master Controller?**
Synergis Master Controller (SMC) is Genetec’s access control unit that supports a variety of third-party interface modules over IP, USB, and RS-485. SMC is seamlessly integrated to Security Center, and is capable of making the access control decisions independently of the Access Manager. SMC and accessories can be housed inside an enclosure that make up the Synergis access control system.

**Components:**
*   **Controller module:** Processing component of SMC with IP capability, pre-loaded with the controller firmware and a web-based administration tool, Controller Portal.
*   **Four-port RS-485 module:** RS-485 communication component of SMC with four ports (or channels) named A, B, C, and D. The number of interface modules you can connect to each channel depends on the type of hardware you have. In configurations where interface modules only use IP or USB connections, the Four-port RS-485 module is not needed.

Synergis™ Cloud Link is seamlessly integrated with Security Center and is capable of making access control decisions independently of the Access Manager. Synergis™ Cloud Link and accessories can be housed inside an enclosure that are part of a Synergis™ IP access control system.

**Hardware Features:**
*   **RS-485:** Four embedded RS-485 communication ports (or channels) named A, B, C, and D. The number of interface modules you can connect to each channel depends on the type of hardware you have. When starting an RS-485 bus from the Synergis™ Cloud Link for HID module communication, you must set the associated termination DIP switch to ON. You must also set the termination jumper on the last connected module on the RS-485 bus.
*   **USB1 and USB2:** For maintenance use only. Not evaluated by UL.
*   **LAN1 and LAN2:** Two Ethernet LAN ports for connection to the IP network. Synergis™ Cloud Link can be powered using an Ethernet connection (PoE). Connecting to Security Center through the LAN 2 port has not been evaluated by UL and is for supplementary use only.

### 4.2 DIP Switch Command Codes for Synergis Cloud Link

You can use the DIP switches on the Synergis™ Cloud Link to run hardware commands. There are four DIP switches labelled 1 to 4. To run a command, set the DIP switches as indicated in the table below and press the EC button for one second. If the code is valid, the status LEDs will flash green for the process of the command, otherwise they flash red for one second. Synergis™ Cloud Link automatically performs a software restart after you have run a command.

**BEST PRACTICE:** To prevent an accidental configuration reset, always set the DIP switches back to ON ON ON ON after running a command.

| S1 | S2 | S3 | S4 | Command Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | Resets the Synergis™ Appliance Portal logon password to factory default (softwire). |

HID Reader Configuration — Wiegand Output
HID readers default to 26-bit Wiegand output. The Wiegand format can be changed using HID's configuration cards or the HID Reader Manager app (Bluetooth-enabled readers).
FormatStructureUse Case
26-bit H103013-byte facility code + 16-bit card numberMost common — default for most panels
34-bit H1030616-bit facility code + 16-bit card numberLarger card number range

Corporate 100035-bit — HID proprietaryHigh-security HID deployments
OSDPSerial protocol — not WiegandRequired for SEOS and encrypted comms
HID Signo Reader — Programming
  1. Download the <strong>HID Reader Manager</strong> app on iOS or Android
  2. Enable Bluetooth on the mobile device
  3. Hold the phone near the Signo reader — the app detects it automatically
  4. Authenticate with the HID Reader Manager credentials
  5. Configure card formats, LED behaviour, and output protocol (Wiegand or OSDP)
  6. Apply configuration — the reader restarts and applies the new settings
Mobile Access Setup (SEOS)
  1. The access control system must support HID Mobile Access (most major platforms do)
  2. Administrator logs into the HID Origo portal
  3. Invites the user by email — user receives an invitation link
  4. User downloads the <strong>HID Mobile Access</strong> app
  5. User accepts the invitation — a digital credential is provisioned to the phone
  6. User presents the phone to a Bluetooth/NFC-enabled reader
Credential Cloning — Security Warning
125kHz proximity cards (HID Prox, EM4100) can be cloned in seconds using a commercially available device costing under £50. Any site still using 125kHz credentials should be upgraded to iCLASS SE or SEOS as a matter of urgency.

        *   **Provisioning Methods:** Manually in Configuration Editor, automatically by placing in `C:\ProgramData\Lnl\clientConnect.ogcc`, or during unattended installations using `ClientConnectFilePath` parameter.

#### System License
*   Embedded into Setup Assistant.
*   Installs or verifies a valid license.
*   Requires a valid license to continue configuration.
*   Run manually when purchasing additional licensable features.

#### Service Log On
*   Enter Windows user name and password for the account that will run OnGuard software.
*   User must have database access and read/write access to OnGuard directory for log files.

#### Database Installation
*   For new server installations using SQL Express, Setup Assistant installs a new `ACCESSCONTROL` database.
*   **Steps:**
    1.  Optionally browse for alternate source database (.MDF) file.
    2.  Optionally browse for alternate database storage path.
    3.  Click [Install database].
*   **Archival Database:** Option to back up the new `ACCESSCONTROL` database if archiving is configured.

#### Database Backup
*   For updating existing installations, Setup Assistant provides a method to back up SQL Server or SQL Server Express database before upgrade.
*   **Strongly recommended** to make a backup.
*   **Procedure:**
    1.  Accept or modify `Backup set name`, `Backup set description`, `Server backup file path`.
    2.  Confirm warning.
    3.  Click [Backup].
    4.  Troubleshoot errors if backup fails.
*   **Notes:**
    *   Backup path is on the database server workstation (e.g., `C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\...`).
    *   Backup path cannot be a network drive; must be local.
    *   `Browse` button available only if Setup Assistant runs on database server; otherwise `Reset Path` button.
    *   Only creates backup; use standard SQL tools for restoration.

#### Database Setup and Encryption
*   For server installations, Setup Assistant runs Database Setup automatically.
*   Sets up database for current OnGuard version, installs reports, sets encryption key management/recovery, updates field encryption, runs Forms Translator.
*   **Encryption Key Entry:** Dialog opens for first-time installations, upgrades from OnGuard 8.0 or earlier, or re-encryption.
    *   Must be performed on workstation with LS Login Driver installed.
    *   **Options:** `Generate a key from a passphrase` (10-36 characters), `Generate a random key`, `Import a key from a file` (*.og file).
    *   **Recommendation:** Export encryption key to a file for restoration. Mandatory for random keys.
    *   **Important:** Exported key file is a tightly-controlled cryptographic resource for disaster recovery.
*   **Blocking Database Connections:**
    *   OnGuard 8.1+ automatically blocks connections for Microsoft SQL.
    *   For Oracle, manual blocking is required (disconnect from network or limit access via `SQLNET.ORA` with `tcp.validnode_checking = yes` and `tcp.invited_nodes = (localhost,<yourOracleServerHostName>)`).
    *   Stop all OnGuard services except LS License Server, LS Message Broker, LS Login Driver.
    *   Re-enable connections after re-encryption.
*   **Encryption Key Troubleshooting:**
    *   **Issue:** Encryption key not generated (Login Driver not installed or not Message Broker host).
        *   **Resolution:** Confirm empty `Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Lenel\OnGuard\LD` registry entry. Run Database Setup on the correct workstation and provide encryption key details.
    *   **Issue:** `Login Driver is not connected to the message broker.`
        *   **Resolution:** Stop LS Login Driver service, run as application, check for errors. Refer to specific error messages below.
    *   **Issue:** `Encryption key set up for this Login Driver does not match the database in use.`
        *   **Resolution:** Open Login Driver as application, `Edit > Set Encryption Key`, provide correct passphrase or *.og file.
    *   **Issue:** `Encryption key loading failed...The data is invalid.`
        *   **Resolution:** Configure Login Driver with same encryption key as database (`Edit > Set Encryption Key`).
    *   **Issue:** `Encryption key loading failed...Login failed for user.`
        *   **Resolution:** `Edit > Change Database Password`, update password to match LENEL password.
    *   **Issue:** `Login Driver is not connected to the Message Broker because you must set the RabbitMQ LD credentials.`
        *   **Resolution:** Provide encryption key and connect to database via ODBC. Login Driver will prompt for RabbitMQ LD credentials.

#### OnGuard Logs Folder
*   Default location: `C:\ProgramData\Lnl\logs`.
*   Users need Read, Write, and List Folder Contents permissions.

#### Remotely Hosted Databases
*   If using Windows Authentication and Live database is remote, LS Site Publication Server (Enterprise/Distributed ID) might need to log on as a specific user with NT authentication access.
*   **Configuration:**
    1.  `Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services`.
    2.  Double-click target service.
    3.  `Log On` tab, select `This account`.
    4.  Enter username and password (use [Browse] and [Check Names]).
    5.  Click [OK].
    6.  Restart service.

### Installing OnGuard on a Client Machine
*   Two general steps: install software, verify license.
*   Does not require database installation, Database Setup, license installation, or hardware key.
*   **Methods:**
    *   Install from `OGCLIENT.iso` (client-only features, smaller size, excludes Crystal Reports, RabbitMQ, Erlang, OnGuard Modules).
    *   Silent installation using PowerShell wrapper script with `OGCLIENT.iso` or `OG.iso`.

### Database Authentication for Web Applications
*   Required for Oracle databases and browser-based OnGuard applications.
*   **Methods:**
    *   **Windows Authentication:**
        *   **SQL Server:** Add Windows user to SQL Server (SQL Server Management Studio: `Security > Logins > New Login`). Set `Login name` as `<server-name>\<username>`, select `Windows authentication`. Map user to `<Server Name>lenel` database with `db_owner` and `public` roles (or minimum `public`, `db_datareader`, `db_datawriter`, `db_ddladmin`, `db_executor`). Verify `application.config` for Windows authentication.
        *   **Oracle:** Create new Oracle user with Windows authentication credentials (SQLPlus: `CREATE USER "<OPS$DOMAIN>\<DOMAINUSER>" ... IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY ... GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, LENEL_RESTRICTEDUSER_ROLE TO "OPS$DOMAIN\DOMAINUSER";`). Verify `sqlnet.ora` has `SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS)`.
    *   **Provide Credentials in Protected File:** Store authentication information in `application.config`. Highly recommended to secure with Access Control Lists (ACL). Not recommended if Windows authentication is not used.

### Logging Into the OnGuard System

#### Windows User Permissions
*   Windows user logged into OnGuard applications must have read/write access to the OnGuard directory for log files.

#### Error Messages (Password-related)
*   **Database password violations:** `Your password is a keyword that is not allowed.` (Corrects Database password)
*   **Database password violations:** `Your password cannot be blank. Please enter a password.` (Corrects User password)
*   **User password violations:** `Passwords cannot be the same as the user name.` (Corrects User password)

#### Accounts
*   System Administrator creates unique accounts for each user with specific permissions.
*   **Default Accounts (samples):**
    *   `SA` / `SA` (system account, unlimited access, cannot be deleted, password must be changed on first login).
    *   `admin` / `sample` (user)
    *   `user` / `sample` (user)
    *   `badge` / `sample` (user)
*   **Security Recommendation:** Create an SA Delegate user with all permissions, then disable the default SA account.

#### Log In (without Single Sign-On)
1.  Start desired application.
2.  If prompted, select database from ODBC system databases. Click [OK].
3.  Log On window:
    *   `User name`: Type assigned user name (first time: `SA`).
    *   `Password`: Type assigned password (first time: `SA`). Characters appear as `*`.
    *   `Directory`: Select directory (default: `<Internal>`).
    *   `Remember user name and directory`: Optional checkbox.
    *   Click [OK].
4.  If authorization warning appears, click [Yes].

#### Single Sign-On (SSO)
*   Logs into OnGuard with same user name and password as Windows authentication (or LDAP).
*   **Notes:**
    *   Windows Authentication should be used for SSO. Anonymous Authentication for other scenarios.
    *   Explicit username/password for directory authentication is discouraged; use view-only accounts if necessary.
    *   Assigning both internal and directory accounts increases flexibility but also security risk. Standardize on one.
*   **Directory Types Supported:** Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Windows NT 4 Domain, Microsoft Windows Local Accounts, LDAP.
*   **Automatic SSO:** Users start OnGuard and are automatically logged in under their Windows account/directory. Supported with Windows domain accounts.
*   **Manual SSO:** Users manually enter Windows or LDAP account information (user name and password). Can select different configured directory. Supported with Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Windows NT 4 Domain, and LDAP.
*   **Configuration:** System Administrator must add a directory and link a user account to it.

#### Troubleshoot Logging In
*   Verify correct user name/password for selected directory.
*   Accept authorization warning.
*   Verify valid license is installed:
    *   License Server settings correct (Configuration Editor).
    *   LS License Server service running.
    *   Software-based licenses activated.
    *   USB licenses have License Key Drivers installed.
*   If SSO, ensure PC user is linked to an internal OnGuard user via operational directory.
*   Verify LS OpenAccess service is running.

#### LenelS2 Console
*   Web-based application to launch OnGuard web/desktop applications and third-party apps/websites.
*   Access via `https://<hostname>:8080`.
*   Requires OnGuard username and password.
*   Displays cards for licensed/installed applications.
*   Desktop applications must be installed locally to be launched from Console.
*   Users can re-arrange, re-color, create custom cards, or modify templates (depending on permissions).

### Accounts and Passwords

#### Accounts
*   System Administrator creates unique accounts and assigns permissions.
*   SA Delegate user can be created to disable default SA account for enhanced security.
*   **Default Accounts Table:**
    | User name | Password | Type |
    | :-------- | :------- | :--- |
    | SA        | SA       | system account |
    | admin     | sample   | user |
    | user      | sample   | user |
    | badge     | sample   | user |
*   **Note:** Default SA password must be changed on initial login.

#### Passwords
*   OnGuard checks user passwords against standards if SSO is not used.
*   **Password Policies (configurable):**
    *   Minimum password length.
    *   Complex passwords (mix of uppercase, lowercase, numeric, non-alphanumeric).
    *   Case-sensitivity.
    *   Password expiration (after specified days, warning, force change on next login).
    *   Rejection of prohibited keywords.
    *   Rejection of prior passwords (based on specified number).
    *   Inactivity timeout.
    *   Invalid login lockout.
*   **Notes:**
    *   Upgraded systems support current passwords until policies require change.
    *   OnGuard database user password checks: not blank, not same as username, not prohibited keyword.
    *   Database passwords conform to specific database rules (e.g., SQL Server/Oracle 12c are case-sensitive).
    *   Password policies can be configured via OnGuard Users browser-based client application.
    *   Oracle databases: `System`/`Manager`, `Internal`/`Oracle`, `Sys`/`Change_On_Install` are not allowed together.
*   **Password Standards (for strong passwords):**
    *   Cannot be blank.
    *   Cannot be same as user name.
    *   Cannot be on list of prohibited keywords.
    *   May require numbers, letters, symbols (spaces acceptable).
    *   Case-sensitive.
    *   Maximum length: 127 characters. Minimum: 1. Default: 8.

#### Change the Database Password
*   Default database password: `Secur1ty#`.
*   Database password must be synchronized between SQL Server/Oracle/SQL Server Desktop Engine and Login Driver.
*   **Procedure (using Login Driver):**
    1.  Stop LS Login Driver service, run as application.
    2.  Right-click system tray icon, select `Open`.
    3.  Login Driver window: `Edit > Change Password`.
    4.  If password is weak, Account Passwords window appears (refer to Password Standards).
    5.  Click [Continue]. Select `LENEL` account, click [Change Password].
    6.  Enter `Old password`, `New password`, `Confirm password`.
    7.  If Login Driver and database are on different machines, checkbox `When I change this password on the Login Driver, do not change the password on the database server. I will change the password manually on the database server.` appears.
        *   Unselected (default): Password changed in both places (sent as plain text over network).
        *   Selected: Password changed in Login Driver only; manual change required on database server.
    8.  Click [OK] to save.
    9.  Exit LS Login Driver application, restart service.

#### Change the System Administrator Password for the Database
*   For SQL Server Desktop Engine and SQL Server, this is the `SA` account.
*   For Oracle, there are several system accounts.
*   **Procedure (using Database Setup):**
    1.  Launch Database Setup.
    2.  If upgrading, select `Live` or `Archival` database. Select `Add/remove missing system data for current build`.
    3.  Click [Continue].
    4.  Database Setup Progress window: Click [Execute].
    5.  If upgrading, warning to back up database appears. Click [Yes].

*   **Advanced Database Section (page 93 of Installation Guide):** Used to verify `application.config` for Windows authentication and store `lenel` user account credentials.

### Certificates

#### General Description
*   **TLS (Transport Layer Security) / SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificates:** Installed on web servers and clients for secure encrypted connections.
*   Private certificate on server, public certificate sent to client.
*   Used by LS Message Broker service, LS Site Publication Server, LS OpenAccess, NGINX clients (OnGuard Monitor, OnGuard Credentials, LenelS2 Console).

#### Where to Get Certificates
*   **Trusted Certificate Authority:** Certificates expire in 1-3 years.
*   **Self-signed certificate:** Installed by default during OnGuard installation/upgrade. Expires in 3 years (OnGuard 8.1+). Primarily for evaluation/demonstration/stand-alone systems. Causes browser security alerts. Cannot be revoked; must be replaced/rotated if compromised.

#### Certificate Management
*   If LS Web Server (NGINX) and LS Message Broker Service (RabbitMQ) are on the same server, they use the same certificate. Otherwise, each requires a unique certificate.
*   **Viewing Existing Certificate:** Refer to `Configure the Name and Location of the Certificate` (page 107).
*   **Installing a Certificate Manually:**
    *   Delete existing certificates if re-issuing.
    *   Install trusted certificate on OnGuard server (where OpenAccess service runs) for mobile live events.
    *   Restart LS Web Service and LS Message Broker service after changes.
    *   **Self-signed certificate re-issue:** Run `lnl_app_server_certificate_installer.exe` with `-key`, `-cert`, `-keystore`, `-cn` parameters (e.g., `C:\ProgramData\Lnl\nginx\conf\ls_server_cert_key.pem`, `C:\ProgramData\Lnl\nginx\conf\ls_server_cert.pem`, `C:\Program Files (x86)\OnGuard\LicenseServerConfig`, `<virtual computer name>`).
    *   **Import custom certificate:** Generate CSR, obtain certificate from CA, install certificate and key onto NGINX/LS Web Server. If private key is encrypted, configure NGINX/RabbitMQ with passphrase or decrypt key.
    *   **Decrypt private key file:** `openssl rsa -in key.pem -out server.key`.

#### LS Web Server (NGINX) Certificate Configuration
*   Default certificate location: `C:\ProgramData\Lnl\nginx\conf`.
*   `nginx.conf` file contains `ssl_certificate` (public key, `ls_server_cert.pem`) and `ssl_certificate_key` (private key, `ls_server_cert_key.pem`).
*   Intermediate certificates: Concatenate server certificate and intermediate certificate into `ls_server_cert_key.pem` (server first, then intermediate).
*   **Encrypted private key:** Add `ssl_password_file ls_server_cert_key.pass;` to `nginx.conf` and place passphrase in `ls_server_cert_key.pass` file.
*   **Important:** Repeat process if OnGuard is reinstalled or upgraded. Never share key file.

#### LS Message Broker Service (RabbitMQ) Certificate Configuration
*   By default, uses same certificate as NGINX.
*   **Changing certificate location:** Edit `C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\advanced.config`.
    *   Update `ssl_options` section: `cacertfile`, `certfile`, `keyfile` paths.
    *   **Encrypted private key:** Add `{password, "passphrase"},` after `keyfile` line.
*   **Performing Peer Verification:** Configure LS Message Broker server to reject clients without valid certificates.
    *   Edit `C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\advanced.config`: Add `{verify, verify_peer},` and `{fail_if_no_peer_cert, true}`.
    *   Add `[LSMessageBrokerClientSecurity] CertificatePath=<"path to client-side certificate">` to `acs.ini` on all clients/servers.
    *   Modify `appSettings` in application configuration files (e.g., `Lnl.OG.EventContextProviderService.exe.config`): Add `<add key="X509CertPath" value="path/to/client/cert/cert.p12"/>`.
    *   **Notes:** Client-side certificates must be `.p12` format and decrypted.

#### Apple Wallet Certificates
*   For visitors to add passes to Apple Wallet.
*   **Requirements:**
    1.  Obtain certificates from Apple Developer portal (`http://developer.apple.com/account`). Requires Apple Developer account.
    2.  Download Apple Wallet Intermediate CA certificate `AppleWWDRCA.cer`.
    3.  Generate a pass signing certificate (`<YourCertificateName>.p12`) for your organization with specific Team identifier and Pass type identifier (format: `pass.com.<your organization domain>.OnGuard-Visitor`).
    4.  Install certificates:
        *   Install `AppleWWDRCA.cer` into Local Machine certificate store, in the Intermediate Certification Authorities folder.
        *   Install `<YourCertificateName>.p12` into Local Machine certificate store, in the Personal folder.

### Uninstallation

    *   **Issue:** `Encryption key loading failed...Login failed for user.`
        *   **Resolution:** `Edit > Change Database Password`, update password to match LENEL password.
    *   **Issue:** `Login Driver is not connected to the Message Broker because you must set the RabbitMQ LD credentials.`
        *   **Resolution:** Provide encryption key and connect to database via ODBC. Login Driver will prompt for RabbitMQ LD credentials.

#### OnGuard Logs Folder
*   Default location: `C:\ProgramData\Lnl\logs`.
*   Users need Read, Write, and List Folder Contents permissions.

#### Remotely Hosted Databases
*   If using Windows Authentication and Live database is remote, LS Site Publication Server (Enterprise/Distributed ID) might need to log on as a specific user with NT authentication access.
*   **Configuration:**
    1.  `Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services`.
    2.  Double-click target service.
    3.  `Log On` tab, select `This account`.
    4.  Enter username and password (use [Browse] and [Check Names]).
    5.  Click [OK].
    6.  Restart service.

### Installing OnGuard on a Client Machine
*   Two general steps: install software, verify license.
*   Does not require database installation, Database Setup, license installation, or hardware key.
*   **Methods:**
    *   Install from `OGCLIENT.iso` (client-only features, smaller size, excludes Crystal Reports, RabbitMQ, Erlang, OnGuard Modules).
    *   Silent installation using PowerShell wrapper script with `OGCLIENT.iso` or `OG.iso`.

### Database Authentication for Web Applications
*   Required for Oracle databases and browser-based OnGuard applications.
*   **Methods:**
    *   **Windows Authentication:**
        *   **SQL Server:** Add Windows user to SQL Server (SQL Server Management Studio: `Security > Logins > New Login`). Set `Login name` as `<server-name>\<username>`, select `Windows authentication`. Map user to `<Server Name>lenel` database with `db_owner` and `public` roles (or minimum `public`, `db_datareader`, `db_datawriter`, `db_ddladmin`, `db_executor`). Verify `application.config` for Windows authentication.
        *   **Oracle:** Create new Oracle user with Windows authentication credentials (SQLPlus: `CREATE USER "<OPS$DOMAIN>\<DOMAINUSER>" ... IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY ... GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, LENEL_RESTRICTEDUSER_ROLE TO "OPS$DOMAIN\DOMAINUSER";`). Verify `sqlnet.ora` has `SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS)`.
    *   **Provide Credentials in Protected File:** Store authentication information in `application.config`. Highly recommended to secure with Access Control Lists (ACL). Not recommended if Windows authentication is not used.

### Logging Into the OnGuard System

#### Windows User Permissions
*   Windows user logged into OnGuard applications must have read/write access to the OnGuard directory for log files.

#### Error Messages (Password-related)
*   **Database password violations:** `Your password is a keyword that is not allowed.` (Corrects Database password)
*   **Database password violations:** `Your password cannot be blank. Please enter a password.` (Corrects User password)
*   **User password violations:** `Passwords cannot be the same as the user name.` (Corrects User password)

#### Accounts
*   System Administrator creates unique accounts for each user with specific permissions.
*   **Default Accounts (samples):**
    *   `SA` / `SA` (system account, unlimited access, cannot be deleted, password must be changed on first login).
    *   `admin` / `sample` (user)
    *   `user` / `sample` (user)
    *   `badge` / `sample` (user)
*   **Security Recommendation:** Create an SA Delegate user with all permissions, then disable the default SA account.

#### Log In (without Single Sign-On)
1.  Start desired application.
2.  If prompted, select database from ODBC system databases. Click [OK].
3.  Log On window:
    *   `User name`: Type assigned user name (first time: `SA`).
    *   `Password`: Type assigned password (first time: `SA`). Characters appear as `*`.
    *   `Directory`: Select directory (default: `<Internal>`).
    *   `Remember user name and directory`: Optional checkbox.
    *   Click [OK].
4.  If authorization warning appears, click [Yes].

#### Single Sign-On (SSO)
*   Logs into OnGuard with same user name and password as Windows authentication (or LDAP).
*   **Notes:**
    *   Windows Authentication should be used for SSO. Anonymous Authentication for other scenarios.
    *   Explicit username/password for directory authentication is discouraged; use view-only accounts if necessary.
    *   Assigning both internal and directory accounts increases flexibility but also security risk. Standardize on one.
*   **Directory Types Supported:** Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Windows NT 4 Domain, Microsoft Windows Local Accounts, LDAP.
*   **Automatic SSO:** Users start OnGuard and are automatically logged in under their Windows account/directory. Supported with Windows domain accounts.
*   **Manual SSO:** Users manually enter Windows or LDAP account information (user name and password). Can select different configured directory. Supported with Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Windows NT 4 Domain, and LDAP.
*   **Configuration:** System Administrator must add a directory and link a user account to it.

#### Troubleshoot Logging In
*   Verify correct user name/password for selected directory.
*   Accept authorization warning.
*   Verify valid license is installed:
    *   License Server settings correct (Configuration Editor).
    *   LS License Server service running.
    *   Software-based licenses activated.
    *   USB licenses have License Key Drivers installed.
*   If SSO, ensure PC user is linked to an internal OnGuard user via operational directory.
*   Verify LS OpenAccess service is running.

#### LenelS2 Console
*   Web-based application to launch OnGuard web/desktop applications and third-party apps/websites.
*   Access via `https://<hostname>:8080`.
*   Requires OnGuard username and password.
*   Displays cards for licensed/installed applications.
*   Desktop applications must be installed locally to be launched from Console.
*   Users can re-arrange, re-color, create custom cards, or modify templates (depending on permissions).

### Accounts and Passwords

#### Accounts
*   System Administrator creates unique accounts and assigns permissions.
*   SA Delegate user can be created to disable default SA account for enhanced security.
*   **Default Accounts Table:**
    | User name | Password | Type |
    | :-------- | :------- | :--- |
    | SA        | SA       | system account |
    | admin     | sample   | user |
    | user      | sample   | user |
    | badge     | sample   | user |
*   **Note:** Default SA password must be changed on initial login.

#### Passwords
*   OnGuard checks user passwords against standards if SSO is not used.
*   **Password Policies (configurable):**
    *   Minimum password length.
    *   Complex passwords (mix of uppercase, lowercase, numeric, non-alphanumeric).
    *   Case-sensitivity.
    *   Password expiration (after specified days, warning, force change on next login).
    *   Rejection of prohibited keywords.
    *   Rejection of prior passwords (based on specified number).
    *   Inactivity timeout.
    *   Invalid login lockout.
*   **Notes:**
    *   Upgraded systems support current passwords until policies require change.
    *   OnGuard database user password checks: not blank, not same as username, not prohibited keyword.
    *   Database passwords conform to specific database rules (e.g., SQL Server/Oracle 12c are case-sensitive).
    *   Password policies can be configured via OnGuard Users browser-based client application.
    *   Oracle databases: `System`/`Manager`, `Internal`/`Oracle`, `Sys`/`Change_On_Install` are not allowed together.
*   **Password Standards (for strong passwords):**
    *   Cannot be blank.
    *   Cannot be same as user name.
    *   Cannot be on list of prohibited keywords.
    *   May require numbers, letters, symbols (spaces acceptable).
    *   Case-sensitive.
    *   Maximum length: 127 characters. Minimum: 1. Default: 8.

#### Change the Database Password
*   Default database password: `Secur1ty#`.
*   Database password must be synchronized between SQL Server/Oracle/SQL Server Desktop Engine and Login Driver.
*   **Procedure (using Login Driver):**
    1.  Stop LS Login Driver service, run as application.
    2.  Right-click system tray icon, select `Open`.
    3.  Login Driver window: `Edit > Change Password`.
    4.  If password is weak, Account Passwords window appears (refer to Password Standards).
    5.  Click [Continue]. Select `LENEL` account, click [Change Password].
    6.  Enter `Old password`, `New password`, `Confirm password`.
    7.  If Login Driver and database are on different machines, checkbox `When I change this password on the Login Driver, do not change the password on the database server. I will change the password manually on the database server.` appears.
        *   Unselected (default): Password changed in both places (sent as plain text over network).
        *   Selected: Password changed in Login Driver only; manual change required on database server.
    8.  Click [OK] to save.
    9.  Exit LS Login Driver application, restart service.

#### Change the System Administrator Password for the Database
*   For SQL Server Desktop Engine and SQL Server, this is the `SA` account.
*   For Oracle, there are several system accounts.
*   **Procedure (using Database Setup):**
    1.  Launch Database Setup.
    2.  If upgrading, select `Live` or `Archival` database. Select `Add/remove missing system data for current build`.
    3.  Click [Continue].
    4.  Database Setup Progress window: Click [Execute].
    5.  If upgrading, warning to back up database appears. Click [Yes].
    6.  Database installs. Anomalies may be checked. Select known anomalies and click [Continue].
    7.  Database is encrypted using encryption key from Login Driver.

### Configuration Editor
*   Used to modify `application.config` and `ACS.INI` files.
*   **Database Section (page 92 of Installation Guide):** Used to modify database settings, including the database name (default `AccessControl`).
*   **Advanced Database Section (page 93 of Installation Guide):** Used to verify `application.config` for Windows authentication and store `lenel` user account credentials.

### Certificates

#### General Description
*   **TLS (Transport Layer Security) / SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificates:** Installed on web servers and clients for secure encrypted connections.
*   Private certificate on server, public certificate sent to client.
*   Used by LS Message Broker service, LS Site Publication Server, LS OpenAccess, NGINX clients (OnGuard Monitor, OnGuard Credentials, LenelS2 Console).

#### Where to Get Certificates
*   **Trusted Certificate Authority:** Certificates expire in 1-3 years.
*   **Self-signed certificate:** Installed by default during OnGuard installation/upgrade. Expires in 3 years (OnGuard 8.1+). Primarily for evaluation/demonstration/stand-alone systems. Causes browser security alerts. Cannot be revoked; must be replaced/rotated if compromised.

#### Certificate Management
*   If LS Web Server (NGINX) and LS Message Broker Service (RabbitMQ) are on the same server, they use the same certificate. Otherwise, each requires a unique certificate.
*   **Viewing Existing Certificate:** Refer to `Configure the Name and Location of the Certificate` (page 107).
*   **Installing a Certificate Manually:**
    *   Delete existing certificates if re-issuing.
    *   Install trusted certificate on OnGuard server (where OpenAccess service runs) for mobile live events.
    *   Restart LS Web Service and LS Message Broker service after changes.
    *   **Self-signed certificate re-issue:** Run `lnl_app_server_certificate_installer.exe` with `-key`, `-cert`, `-keystore`, `-cn` parameters (e.g., `C:\ProgramData\Lnl\nginx\conf\ls_server_cert_key.pem`, `C:\ProgramData\Lnl\nginx\conf\ls_server_cert.pem`, `C:\Program Files (x86)\OnGuard\LicenseServerConfig`, `<virtual computer name>`).
    *   **Import custom certificate:** Generate CSR, obtain certificate from CA, install certificate and key onto NGINX/LS Web Server. If private key is encrypted, configure NGINX/RabbitMQ with passphrase or decrypt key.
    *   **Decrypt private key file:** `openssl rsa -in key.pem -out server.key`.

#### LS Web Server (NGINX) Certificate Configuration
*   Default certificate location: `C:\ProgramData\Lnl\nginx\conf`.
*   `nginx.conf` file contains `ssl_certificate` (public key, `ls_server_cert.pem`) and `ssl_certificate_key` (private key, `ls_server_cert_key.pem`).
*   Intermediate certificates: Concatenate server certificate and intermediate certificate into `ls_server_cert_key.pem` (server first, then intermediate).
*   **Encrypted private key:** Add `ssl_password_file ls_server_cert_key.pass;` to `nginx.conf` and place passphrase in `ls_server_cert_key.pass` file.
*   **Important:** Repeat process if OnGuard is reinstalled or upgraded. Never share key file.

#### LS Message Broker Service (RabbitMQ) Certificate Configuration
*   By default, uses same certificate as NGINX.
*   **Changing certificate location:** Edit `C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\advanced.config`.
    *   Update `ssl_options` section: `cacertfile`, `certfile`, `keyfile` paths.
    *   **Encrypted private key:** Add `{password, "passphrase"},` after `keyfile` line.
*   **Performing Peer Verification:** Configure LS Message Broker server to reject clients without valid certificates.
    *   Edit `C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\advanced.config`: Add `{verify, verify_peer},` and `{fail_if_no_peer_cert, true}`.
    *   Add `[LSMessageBrokerClientSecurity] CertificatePath=<"path to client-side certificate">` to `acs.ini` on all clients/servers.
    *   Modify `appSettings` in application configuration files (e.g., `Lnl.OG.EventContextProviderService.exe.config`): Add `<add key="X509CertPath" value="path/to/client/cert/cert.p12"/>`.
    *   **Notes:** Client-side certificates must be `.p12` format and decrypted.

#### Apple Wallet Certificates
*   For visitors to add passes to Apple Wallet.
*   **Requirements:**
    1.  Obtain certificates from Apple Developer portal (`http://developer.apple.com/account`). Requires Apple Developer account.
    2.  Download Apple Wallet Intermediate CA certificate `AppleWWDRCA.cer`.
    3.  Generate a pass signing certificate (`<YourCertificateName>.p12`) for your organization with specific Team identifier and Pass type identifier (format: `pass.com.<your organization domain>.OnGuard-Visitor`).
    4.  Install certificates:
        *   Install `AppleWWDRCA.cer` into Local Machine certificate store, in the Intermediate Certification Authorities folder.
        *   Install `<YourCertificateName>.p12` into Local Machine certificate store, in the Personal folder.

### Uninstallation

#### Files Not Removed During OnGuard Uninstallation
*   Installation packages not installed with OnGuard.
*   Common system components shared by other applications (prerequisites).
*   OnGuard localizations with customer data/customizations.
*   Customized configuration files (`.ini`, `.config`, etc.).

### Commissioning Steps

**Initialising a New System (CARDLOCK or PROXIMITY):**
1.  Power up the control unit (it will beep 3 times/second, indicating it needs programming).
2.  **Enrolling a Card Pack:**
    *   Present/swipe enrolment card.
    *   All tokens in the pack are now validated and can be issued to users.
3.  **Adding an Additional Proximity Card Pack:**
    *   Present the enrolment card from the original card pack (amber LED flashes, green & red LEDs off).
    *   Present the enrolment card from the new card pack (reader beeps, all LEDs lit, indicating cards are valid).
    *   Repeat for each reader and additional card packs.
    *   *Note:* Any valid enrolment card from previous packs can add further packs. Incorrect enrolment card results in red LED and beep.

**Initialising a New System (TOUCHLOCK Keypad):**
1.  Follow the steps under "Full Programming Menu Structure" -> "Initialising the Keypad".

**Factory Reset (Switch2 Control Unit):**
1.  Turn off power and disconnect Green and Mauve keypad wires from Switch2 terminals.
2.  Insert a wire link between the Green and Mauve terminals.
3.  Reconnect power (unit will beep 4 times).
4.  Disconnect power and remove the link wire, reconnect Green and Mauve wires.
5.  Reconnect power (unit will beep 3 times/second). The unit is now ready to be enrolled.

**Factory Reset (TOUCHLOCK Keypad):**
1.  Enter programming mode.
2.  Hold down '9' for 3 seconds.
3.  Re-enter the programming code and hold down '9' for a further 3 seconds. The keypad will be reset (except for the programming code).
    *   *Note:* If the master code is lost, the Switch2 must be reset to factory settings using the control unit factory reset procedure.

### Common Fault Diagnosis / Technical Help
*   **Two Readers on the Same Controller:** Wire PROXIMITY or CARDLOCK readers in parallel, colour for colour.
*   **Replacing a White Labelled Control Unit (pre-2004 design):** Old units had 5V DC output on the red voltage terminal. New yellow labelled units have 12V DC. For 5V readers/keypads, the jumper setting on the controller PCB must be changed. Touchlock membrane keypad is not compatible with the new control unit.
*   **Initialising with 2 Keypads (K-Series):** Either keypad can initialise the controller. Wire all wires in parallel, colour for colour.
*   **Initialising with 2 Keypads (Older Touchlock/SS):** Use the master keypad (yellow wire to yellow terminal). Slave keypad has yellow wire to mauve terminal.
*   **Bell/Alarm Output:** A 12V DC alarm sounder (up to 1A) can be wired between 12V and Bell terminals. Load must be considered for power supply rating. If door contacts are fitted, the bell/alarm output activates when the door is forced. On a keypad system, the bell button normally activates this output, but not if a door forced alarm is active.

### Compliance Standards Met
*   **EU Directives:**
    *   Directive 2014/53/EU (Full declaration of conformity at http://paxton.info/3910)

### Commissioning Steps

**Initialising a New System (CARDLOCK or PROXIMITY):**
1.  Power up the control unit (it will beep 3 times/second, indicating it needs programming).
2.  **Enrolling a Card Pack:**
    *   Present/swipe enrolment card.
    *   All tokens in the pack are now validated and can be issued to users.
3.  **Adding an Additional Proximity Card Pack:**
    *   Present the enrolment card from the original card pack (amber LED flashes, green & red LEDs off).
    *   Present the enrolment card from the new card pack (reader beeps, all LEDs lit, indicating cards are valid).
    *   Repeat for each reader and additional card packs.
    *   *Note:* Any valid enrolment card from previous packs can add further packs. Incorrect enrolment card results in red LED and beep.

**Initialising a New System (TOUCHLOCK Keypad):**
1.  Follow the steps under "Full Programming Menu Structure" -> "Initialising the Keypad".

**Factory Reset (Switch2 Control Unit):**
1.  Turn off power and disconnect Green and Mauve keypad wires from Switch2 terminals.
2.  Insert a wire link between the Green and Mauve terminals.
3.  Reconnect power (unit will beep 4 times).
4.  Disconnect power and remove the link wire, reconnect Green and Mauve wires.
5.  Reconnect power (unit will beep 3 times/second). The unit is now ready to be enrolled.

**Factory Reset (TOUCHLOCK Keypad):**
1.  Enter programming mode.
2.  Hold down '9' for 3 seconds.
3.  Re-enter the programming code and hold down '9' for a further 3 seconds. The keypad will be reset (except for the programming code).
    *   *Note:* If the master code is lost, the Switch2 must be reset to factory settings using the control unit factory reset procedure.

### Common Fault Diagnosis / Technical Help
*   **Two Readers on the Same Controller:** Wire PROXIMITY or CARDLOCK readers in parallel, colour for colour.
*   **Replacing a White Labelled Control Unit (pre-2004 design):** Old units had 5V DC output on the red voltage terminal. New yellow labelled units have 12V DC. For 5V readers/keypads, the jumper setting on the controller PCB must be changed. Touchlock membrane keypad is not compatible with the new control unit.
*   **Initialising with 2 Keypads (K-Series):** Either keypad can initialise the controller. Wire all wires in parallel, colour for colour.
*   **Initialising with 2 Keypads (Older Touchlock/SS):** Use the master keypad (yellow wire to yellow terminal). Slave keypad has yellow wire to mauve terminal.
*   **Bell/Alarm Output:** A 12V DC alarm sounder (up to 1A) can be wired between 12V and Bell terminals. Load must be considered for power supply rating. If door contacts are fitted, the bell/alarm output activates when the door is forced. On a keypad system, the bell button normally activates this output, but not if a door forced alarm is active.

Overview – System
The Net2 system is a revolutionary system with hardware and software
developed simultaneously to meet the requirements of a modern day access
control system. The hardware uses the latest in microchip technology
allowing unprecedented levels of speed, resilience and value. The software
is based on the latest Windows interfaces and is developed to enable
powerful functionality whilst maintaining ease of use.
An access control system is an investment. The Net2 system ensures the
future proofing of that investment in several ways:
• Latest micro-controller technology offering solid, capable hardware
platform
• Hardware and software fully year 2000 compliant
• Use of FLASH memory allowing easy upgrades
• Software can be extended in functionality with ‘Modules’
• System can be extended with no redundancy of equipment
The system is capable of controlling up to 200 doors and 10,000 users with

Overview – Net2 hardware
Ease of wiring
Clearly labelled terminals on every access control unit remove the need for
continual referencing to wiring diagrams. Clear colour coding of reader
cables leads to fewer mistakes.
Diagnostic LEDs
An array of LEDs on the control unit indicate the status of key system
features. This will aid commissioning and quick diagnosis of any problems
should they occur.

Chapter 1 Introduction

--- PAGE BREAK ---
FLASH Memory
FLASH memory in the access control units allows the downloading of new
firmware to the control units from the PC over the network. This means that
as new features are added to Net2, systems in the field can be upgraded to
allow the use of the latest software features without any changes to the
hardware.
Open architecture
Relay outputs and digital and analogue inputs allow integration with the
hardware of other systems.
Latest technology
State of the art electronic components create a solid hardware platform,
which is both high performance and compact.
Scaleable architecture
The system will be scaleable. The smallest system will be expandable to the
largest system using the same hardware building blocks with no
redundancy of hardware as the system expands.
Communications
Very high speed and resilient communications offer real time alarm
reporting and the capability for very large systems.
Distributed intelligence
The Net2 single door control units provide fully distributed intelligence
down to individual doors. This gives greater system resilience and makes
support and problem diagnosis easier. Also, event information can be
retained when the system is running off-line (2,300 events per control
unit/door).
Multi-technology
The same control unit will support magstripe, keypads and proximity,
mixed on a single site if required.

Overview – Net2 software
Open architecture
Microsoft Access database allows easy linking of data to other software
systems.
Ease of use
Easy to learn user interface working in Microsoft Windows 98/2000/NT/XP
environments. The user interface looks and feels like the latest Microsoft
Windows explorer and Outlook programs so office PC users will be able to
navigate the system intuitively.
Ease of commissioning
Auto detection and numbering of access control units. No DIP switches to
set or binary numbering to worry about - switch on the software and go!
Modular
The software has the capacity for features to be added as and when they are
required. The modular structure enables the user interface to be as powerful
as required whilst remaining simple.

This unit is now available, part number 857-693. It includes many features
including mounting posts for the Net2 ACU and mains monitoring.

Power supplies – choosing guide
When choosing a power supply for the Net2 system there are several
considerations.

Current rating
The rating of the power supply must be suited to the load. The quiescent
current of the various system components is shown in Figure 3.12.

--- PAGE BREAK ---
Battery backup
The time that the Net2 system will continue to operate when the mains
supply fails is dependent on the current consumption of the system and the
battery backup in the power supplies. The relationship is shown in figure
3.13.

Figure 3.13
Relationship between
current consumption and
battery backup time

Backup time (hours) =

Amp hour of backup batteries (Amp hours)
Current consumption of system (Amps)

Power supplies vary in the features they offer relating to battery backup. A
few considerations are:
• Deep discharge – When a backup battery is drained too much it can
reach a state whereby it cannot be recharged. This is deep
discharge. Some power supplies have the ability to prevent this
happening.
• Recharge limit – Some power supplies limit the current
consumption of a battery whilst it is recharging. If a power supply
does not do this then the system may not be immediately
operational when mains power is resumed, i.e. the power will be
consumed by the battery recharge.
• Battery capacity – the size of the enclosure will limit the
amount/size of the backup batteries.

PSU ripple
Not all dc power supplies are smooth. The ripple is the amount that the
voltage fluctuates. The ripple of a supply can be measured by setting a
multimeter to measure ac voltage. If the ac voltage across the power
terminals is greater than 2V, then it is not suitable for use with Net2.

PSU ripple should be measured under full load conditions.

Size of enclosure
If the ACU is to be mounted in the power supply enclosure then there must
be sufficient space. An enclosure of 350x350mm or larger is recommended.

Figure 3.15
Recommended size of PSU

Alarms
The Net2 system has the capacity to report PSU tampering and mains
failure. If the monitoring of these features is required then the chosen power
supply must have tamper and mains fail clean contact outputs.

Inputs
Exit button
Any push to make button can be used. The button should be physically
robust to suit the volume of traffic through the access point and the
environmental conditions. An exit button is not required if exit is by using a
handle or an out reader.

Door contact
To enable door monitoring, door contacts must be used. The door contact
circuit must be closed when the door is shut. Two states of alarm can be
generated with door monitoring, door forced open and door left open.
Autolock means that when a door closes, the locking mechanism
automatically locks even if the door open time has not expired. This feature
can help to reduce tailgating. If autolocking is required then a door contact
must be fitted.

Power supply tamper
This input is for a power supply tamper switch. This will allow tampering
to appear as an alarm event at the PC. The Net2 plastic enclosure also has a
tamper switch fitted. Where there is a separate PSU and enclosure, the
tamper switches can be wired in series.

PSU
This input is for mains monitoring. This requires the power supply to have
a mains fail relay output. The ACU will report a mains fail alarm if this
input changes state.

Chapter 3 About

17


--- PAGE BREAK ---
Outputs
Relay 1 - lock
The lock is controlled by door relay 1. Relay operation is described in
Appendix (i). The relay contacts are voltage free and are rated 5Amps at
12V ac or dc. Having relay contacts means that this output is very versatile
and can operate virtually any electrical equipment including fail open and
fail closed locks, electric gates, electric barriers, lifts…
There are two main types of locking devices - fail open and fail closed. Refer
to Appendix (iii) for more information.
When using the same power supply for the ACU and electric release, diode
suppression must be fitted. A standard 1N4001 diode is fitted as shown in
Wiring – inputs and outputs.

Relay 2 – toggle/doorbell
Relay 2 can be configured to toggle in the software (See ins-113). It can be
toggled by either reader 1 or by reader 2. If the relay has NOT been set to
toggle then the doorbell of a TOUCHLOCK keypad fitted to the system will
operate it. The output is rated 5Amps at 12V ac or dc. Relay contacts can
operate virtually any electrical equipment including buzzers, lights etc…

General purpose output - alarm
This is the alarm output and is a FET, open drain that is capable of
supplying 1Amp at 12-24Vdc. The FET acts as a switch to 0V.

User tokens – choice
Users of the Net2 access control system will be required to carry a user
token. Paxton manufacture a number of token formats.

Magstripe card
Credit card sized plastic card with a standard high coercivity (hi-co)
magnetic stripe for use with magstripe card readers.

Proximity token
Tokens are about credit card size but are thicker. They can be used from
inside wallets or handbags. Adhesive plastic stickers can be applied for
photo ID and the slot in the tokens makes them ideal for use with low cost
badge clips.

Proximity keyfob
Keyfobs are for applications where convenience is important. They are
made of hard plastic and will fit onto a keyring. They can be attached to
car/house keys for reduced losses, hence reducing the cost of replacing fobs.

Chapter 3 About

--- PAGE BREAK ---
Proximity ISO card
ISO cards are the same size as standard bank or credit cards. They can be
used with standard card printers for photo ID. They also have a magnetic
stripe that can be encoded for use with other systems such as vending.

User tokens – photo ID
There are several photo ID options with varying degrees of cost for both
magstripe and proximity.

Magstripe
Magstripe ID cards can be produced in one of three ways.
1.

The photo ID card is supplied encoded and has insets for a passport
photo and some text. This is laminated with a standard office laminator.

2.

A specialist bureau produce photo ID cards with corporate artwork.
Paxton Access Ltd can encode these cards if required.

3.

For large sites, an on-site photo imaging and card printing system can be
purchased. Paxton Access Ltd can supply encoded blank magstripe
cards if required.

Proximity
Proximity ID devices can be produced in any of the following ways.
1.

The PROXIMITY token photo ID pouch overlay has inserts for a
passport photo and some text. This is laminated in a standard office
laminator and applied onto the face of the token with the adhesive
backing.

2.

The PROXIMITY token plain overlay can be printed with graphics using
the desktop card printers used with on site photo imaging systems.
They are applied to the token using the adhesive backing.

3.

PROXIMITY ISO cards have the same dimensions as standard magstripe
cards. This allows them to be printed using either a specialist bureau
service or on site photo imaging systems. ISO cards are always supplied
with a blank white face for printing.
There is a small area on the bottom right hand of ISO cards which may
cause printing irregularities and should be avoided when designing
card artwork. Refer to Appendix (vi) for details.

User tokens – encoding
The Net2 system accepts many different encoding formats.

Paxton Net2 tokens
Magstripe and proximity tokens can be supplied encoded with an 8 digit
number. This number will be unique to that particular token and the tokens
will be labelled with the same number. To enrol a token the Net2 system
will require this printed number to be entered either by typing it in or using
a desktop reader.

Chapter 3 About

19


--- PAGE BREAK ---
CARDLOCK and PROXIMITY tokens
Magstripe and proximity tokens can also be supplied with an encoded
number containing a site code and user code. These are the same tokens that
are used with the CARDLOCK, PROXIMITY and NETWORK systems. The
Net2 system can utilise the same user tokens as an existing Paxton system if
required. Alternatively, the Net2 system can be used in conjunction with
Paxton stand alone systems. These tokens do not have their number printed
on them and so enrolling requires a desktop reader.

Third party user tokens
At present only proximity tokens manufactured by Paxton Access are
compatible with the Net2 system. Third party magstripe cards can be used
however. This is useful if the Net2 system is to be installed on a site where a
magstripe card system (time and attendance, cashless vending, member’s
card…) is already in use. Figure 3.17 shows how Net2 interprets various
formats of encoded numbers. If the number on the magstripe card is not
known then a desktop reader will be required for entering the token
number.

Access control magstripe cards have a high coercivity (hi-co) magnetic strip.
Some magstripe cards are low coercivity (lo-co). Bankers cards for example
are lo-co. These cards are not recommended for access control. They are not
as resilient to corruption as hi-co cards and wear at a much quicker rate
giving a much shorter card life. Lo-co cards can be recognised by their
brown magnetic strip; hi-co cards have a black magnetic strip.

Desktop reader
When a card is presented to the desktop reader, if it is known to the system
the user record will be displayed, if it has not been previously entered on the
system a blank record is displayed with the new card number displayed in
the card number field.
A desktop reader is designed to be at the PC and used to administer the
Net2 system. Alternatively, standard magstripe or proximity readers can be
used but will have to be mounted appropriately. The desktop reader can
read all Paxton magstripe and proximity tokens and is mounted on a metal
plate designed to sit next to the PC.

Desktop reader prox and magstripe

The desktop reader can be wired to a spare reader terminal of any control
unit on the system. BEWARE – the maximum cable distance from reader to
control unit is as shown in figure 3.9. If there is not an ACU with a spare
reader terminal within the required range of the PC, a dedicated ACU will
be required.

Where Net2 tokens are being used the encoded number is supplied with
the device, allowing the token number to be typed in manually or by
swiping through the desktop reader.

Network – architecture
Daisy chain
The Net2 system communicates using an RS485 data line. Communication
is full duplex at 115K BAUD giving up to 1,000 messages per second.
Because communication is duplex, all four cores of the network cable are
used. The cable consists of two individually screened twisted pairs – white
& green and red & black. One pair is used for transmitting, the other
receiving.
Maximum of 1000m

RS485
repeater

Figure 3.20
Daisy chain network with
RS485 repeaters

PC

The data line must be wired in ‘daisy chain’ formation with one control unit
after the other. If the data line is over 1,000m a RS485 repeater (part number
477-836) should be used.

Chapter 3 About

21


--- PAGE BREAK ---
The PC can be located at the most convenient point along the network. This
may be at the end of the network OR in between control units.

Termination resistors
At each end of the data line a termination resistor is required for each of the
twisted pairs.

* Resistors

Figure 3.21
Termination resistors

* Resistors

*

120 Ohm resistors - supplied in the fitting kit

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The latest R485/232 converters do not contain termination resistors. If the
converter is wired at the end of the network two 120 Ohm resistors must
be wired between terminals 1 and 2, and 3 and 4.
Older RS485/232 converters may contain termination resistors. This type
can be identified by two internal jumpers. If this type of converter is
wired at the end of the network then these are left in place. Otherwise
these jumpers have to be removed (JP1 and JP2 from converter PCB).

Network – data line cable
If unscreened cable is used, the unused cores should be connected into the
screen terminal connection.
The recommended network cable is either CAT5 (Screened or unscreened)
or CR8723.

Network – RS485/232 interface
As the network protocol is standard RS485, a standard RS485/232
communications converter can be used. The converter will have to be
capable of 115,200 BAUD and full duplex. Paxton Access Ltd manufacture a
suitable interface.

Network – RS485 repeater
The RS485 network can span 1,000m (1km) from one end to the other. If the
network is to exceed this length, repeaters will be required every additional
1,000m, see figure 3.20.

PC
Requirements
The Net2 system does not require a dedicated PC, other applications can be
run alongside the Net2 user interface. Due to distributed intelligence, the
Net2 system does not require the PC to be on for the system to be running.
Each ACU has a capacity of 2,300 events, if the PC is off and this number of
events is exceeded then the most recent events will overwrite the oldest
events.
The minimum specification for a PC running a Net2 system are - Pentium
800Mhz processor, 128 Mbytes RAM, hard disk with 1 Gbyte free space,
800x600, 256 colour monitor, a free UART 16550 serial port, mouse,
keyboard and a CD ROM drive. For best performance, increase the speed of
the processor, the memory to at least 256Mb and hard disk size for systems
over 50 doors or 1,000 users. The operating system should be Microsoft
Windows 98, Windows NT with SP6, Windows 200 or Windows XP. Access
to the Internet will enable easy system updates.

System backup
All system settings and user details are stored in an Access 7 database
(Net2System.mdb). If this database is corrupted or deleted, the system will
have to be reconfigured and all user records will be lost. For this reason it is
essential that a backup copy of this file is made on a regular basis.

Chapter 3 About

23


--- PAGE BREAK ---
The Net2 software creates backup files automatically. A separate copy of the
Net2System.mdb database is made every day the software is used. The
backup file for a day has the date included in the file name (Net2System
YYYYMMDD.mdb). The backup file is created either:
1.

When the application is closed down

OR
2.

At the automatic backup time as set in Options\Backup

If a backup file has already been created for that day, the file will be over
written with the most current version of the database.
The retention period dictates the number of days that the backup files are
kept for.

Note: Backup files should be saved on a different drive to the
Net2System.mdb file.

Event backup
10,000 events are stored in NetSystem.mdb. These are the events that are
displayed in the event screen. In addition, 12 months worth of events are
stored in Net2Events.mdb.
Events are automatically archived to the backup folder. The archived event
files are split into individual years (i.e. Net2 Events 1999.mdb and Net2
Events 2000.mdb).

Software controlled fire doors
Fire doors can also be configured through the Net2 software. A fire alarm
relay, whose contacts will open in the event of a fire alarm, can be wired into
any unused input of any control unit. For instance, to wire it into the
Tamper input, it should be connected between 0V and the Tamper input.
Under the doors configuration for the ACU with the fire alarm relay
connected to it, on the Fire doors tab, you can specify which input is to be
used as the fire alarm input (Tamper in this case) and which doors should
open. It is also possible to specify that a roll call report for a certain area
group should be generated if a fire alarm should occur.

Important note: This feature requires the Net Server to be running, and the network to be functional. If the
server is not running for any reason, this feature will not operate as expected. Consequently, break-glasses
should be fitted, in conjunction with fail open releases, to all fire doors, to ensure a reliable egress method in
the event of an alarm.

Data cable
The resistance between each pair must be measured. This ensures that the
termination resistors are connected and the cable is continuous.
1.

Using a Multimeter, measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of
the network connection.. A resistance of between 50 and 70 Ohms is
normal.

2.

Repeat step 1 for terminals 3 and 4.

If the measured resistance is not within the recommended range then
connections and cable should be checked throughout until the fault is found.

Screen shorts
1.

At one end of the network check the resistance between the screen and
terminal 1 of the network connection. The resistance should be high.
This means that the screen is not shorted with this core along its length.

2.

Repeat step 1 for terminals 2, 3 and 4.

If the measured resistance is low then the cable and connections should be
checked.

Chapter 7 Commissioning

--- PAGE BREAK ---
Screen continuity
To ensure resilient communications, the network cable is screened. It is
essential to the reliability of the system that the screens are continuous. To
check this:
1.

At one end of the network, connect the screen to terminal 1.

2.

At the other end of the network, use a multimeter to check that the
resistance between screen and terminal 1 is low (Less than 10 Ohms).

If the screens are not continuous then the cable and connections should be
checked.

Once the network has passed the tests, the network terminals must be
replaced in the ACU.

Hardware – the Access Control Unit (ACU)
Once all wiring has been completed and the system is ready to go, each ACU
will require commissioning.

Turning on the power
If an ACU has a backup battery power supply, the mains should be
connected first. Once mains power is being supplied to the ACU, the
batteries can be connected. This will prevent damage to batteries caused by
a sudden surge of current. If power to the ACU is being switched off,
batteries should be disconnected before the mains is switched off.

Once the problem is verified, it may be necessary to do a full system check to
establish which aspect of the system is not functioning correctly. If the exact
nature of the problem is already known then skip to the relevant section in
this chapter.

Communications test
Whilst the Net2 access control program is running walk round and confirm
that the Rx and Tx LEDs are flickering regularly on each control unit. The
system is polling several times per second. The Rx LED flashing indicates
that the ACU is receiving network messages from the PC and the Tx LED
flashing indicates that the ACU is transmitting network messages back to
the PC. If the LEDs are flashing as described then communications are
functioning.
If the Rx and Tx LEDs are not flashing on any or all of the ACUs then there

The OK LED has different flash modes to indicate different system status.
A single short flash, once a second, means that the ACU is functioning
properly, and that it is in communication with the Net2 Server.
A double short flash, once a second, means that the ACU is functioning
properly, but that it is currently off-line.
Rapid continuous flashing means that there is a real time clock failure. The
ACU will allow access to users with 24/7 access rights.
The LED blinking 1 second on, 1 second off means that the ACU has a real
time clock failure, but it has been ‘told’ the time by the Net2 Server. It will
continue to run normally as long as it does not loose it’s power, unless the
Net2 Server is running to set it’s time again. An ACU with a real time clock
failure should be replaced.

System problems – power supply
• 12Vdc supply – Set a multimeter to dc range and measure the supply
across the power terminals of the ACU. If this is not between 10 and 15V
then there is a problem with the power supply.
• Power supply ripple – Set a multimeter to ac range and measure the
supply across the power terminals. This measures the ripple of the
supply. If a voltage above 2V is measured then there is a problem with
the power supply.
• 5Vdc supply – The ACU has an on board regulator.

If the 12V LED is on and the 5V LED is off, the power to the ACU must be
switched off immediately, or damage to the board may result. A typical
cause of this would be an incorrectly fitted or faulty reader.
To confirm that the regulator is functioning correctly, set a multimeter to
dc range and measure the voltage across the Red and Blk/Wht terminals
of each reader. A voltage between 4.8 and 5.2V indicates that the
regulator is working.
If problems persist then contact the Paxton access technical helpline.

Appendix (i) Operation of a relay explained
The Net2 ACU contains two relays. These are very versatile and can be used
to switch electrical devices. A relay consists of a coil and a switch and has
output terminals common (COM), normally open (N.O.) and normally
closed (N.C.).

Figure 9.1
Operation of a relay

Coil not energised
(natural state)

Coil energised

COM N.C. N.O

COM N.C. N.O

In the de-energised state, common and normally closed are connected.
When the coil is energised, the switch moves and common and normally
open are connected. As soon as the coil is de-energised the switch springs
back to the normally closed position.
The output terminals COM, N.O. and N.C. are voltage free. This means that
they can be included as part of a circuit to switch power to OR from an
electrical device.

Chapter 9 Appendix

68


--- PAGE BREAK ---
Appendix (ii) Fail open and fail closed locks explained
Fail open (fail safe)
Fail open devices require power to lock, i.e. if there is no power to the device
it is unlocked. An example of a fail open device is a magnetic lock
(maglock).
A fail open locking device is a requirement for fire doors. This is because it
is not reliant on electrical power to unlock.
It is advisable to have a battery backup for systems using fail open devices.
Otherwise a mains power failure would lead to doors unlocking for the
period of the mains failure.
Fail open devices are inefficient in terms of power consumption when
compared to fail closed devices. This is because they are powered for the
majority of the time, i.e. when the door is locked.

Fail closed (fail secure)
Fail closed devices require power to unlock, i.e. if there is no power to the
device it is locked. Most standard electric releases are fail closed.
If battery backup is not fitted, mains loss would result in doors being locked
for the period of the power failure.
Fail closed devices are more efficient that fail open devices. This is because
they are only powered when the door is unlocked.

Appendix (iii) Difference between code and PIN explained
PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. This is a number that is
specific to an individual user. A user code can be common to many users.
Example of code only: A keypad has two codes to control the access of 1,000
users through an access point. 300 users use one code and 700 use the other.
Codes are very quick to setup; thousands of users can be given access to an
area if the code is disclosed. Access privileges can be adjusted for groups of
users, where the users are grouped together by a common code.
Example of PIN only: A keypad controls the access of eight users through a
door. Each of the eight users has their own PIN, which they use to gain
access.
Using PINs mean that access rights can be changed for every individual
without affecting other users. PINs also allow users to be identified by the
system for reporting purposes. However, more numbers valid on a keypad
will increase the chances of guessing a correct number. This means that a
non-authorised person can gain access by randomly pressing keys on the
keypad. To reduce these risks to an acceptable level it is necessary to
increase the number of digits in the PIN.
Example of card plus code: A proximity reader and a keypad are used to
control access through a door. A user is required to present their proximity
card to the reader and enter a valid code.
This involves two elements of security – possession and knowledge. The
possession of the card is required AND a valid code has to be known. If the
card is lost it cannot be used on its own. If the code is discovered it cannot
be used without a valid card.
Example of card plus PIN: A magnetic stripe reader and a keypad are used
to control the access through a door. A user is required to swipe their card
and enter their PIN number. Only the combination of that user card AND
that user PIN number is acceptable.

Chapter 9 Appendix

69


--- PAGE BREAK ---
This involves both possession and knowledge but increases security even
further. If a user card is lost it can only be used to gain access when used
with the specific PIN number. For security reasons bank cash machines use
a card plus PIN system.

Appendix (iv) Glossary
General access control terms
Access control system

An access control system comprises input for identification (e.g. a keypad
or reader), intelligent electronics for decision making and outputs for
operating access point hardware and the access point hardware itself (e.g.
locks, barriers).

Access Control Unit (ACU)

A general term to describe a range of devices which have the control
electronics and intelligence to make the decision to allow access at one or
several points. It will have connectors or cables ready to link to readers,
keypads, locks, etc.

Bench test

The wiring and configuration of a system at the installers premises before
installation. This is a recommended procedure before installing any system
for the first time. The time spent in becoming familiar with the equipment
will invariably be recouped several times over on site.

Coercivity

Coercivity relates to the resilience of the encoding of a magnetic stripe card.
Hi coercivity encoded magstripe cards are more resilient to data corruption
than Lo coercivity cards.

Common Reference (CR)

CR refers to the cable reference numbers commonly used to identify cable
of a specific type.

Distributed intelligence

In a networked access control system access control units are linked and
communicate with each other or a PC used to control the system.
Distributed intelligence means that the access control units hold user
information and system settings locally. This enables the ACUs to carry on
functioning if communications links are severed.

Door open time

An electric locking device has power supplied/denied to release and allow
access when a valid token is presented. The time period that the electric
release is energised/de-energised is referred to as the door open time.

Event recording

Access Control Units may be provided with memory to record events.
Events recorded should include the access point details, date, time and user
ID for each occasion when access is granted. Many other events may be
recorded depending on the system e.g. details of access denied and alarm
events. Where events are recorded the access control unit will be capable
of sending the information to a printer or computer.

Magstripe

Magnetic stripe reading technology – cards with a number encoded on a
magnetic stripe are swiped through a slot on a reader.

Network system

A system where access control units are linked together by data cable for
the exchange of information between units. The purpose of this is to
provide easier configuration and better management information for larger
and more complex applications. All access points on the system can be set
up from a single point. The access control units on network systems record
events. Most systems allow for a computer to be connected to the network
to allow control and reporting to be carried out from a dedicated program.

Photo ID

Where a photograph of the user is printed or attached to their user token
allowing them to be identified.

Proximity

The proximity device is held close to the reader and sends a unique
number by radio signal to the reader.

Chapter 9 Appendix

70


--- PAGE BREAK ---
Tailgating

A term used to describe an individual gaining access through an access
point by following through after an authorised user.

User token

This is a generic term for the devices that users of an access control system
use to identify themselves and gain entry through access points. User
tokens may be magstripe cards, proximity keyfobs, smart cards, etc.

Paxton Access terminology
Proximity ISO card

ISO cards are the same size as standard bank or credit cards. They can be
used with standard card printers for photo ID. They also have a magnetic
stripe that can be encoded for use with other systems such as vending.

Proximity keyfob

Keyfobs are for applications where convenience is important. They are
made of hard plastic and will fit onto a keyring. They can be attached to
car/house keys for reduced losses, hence reducing the cost of replacing
fobs.

Proximity token

Tokens are about credit card size but are thicker. They can be used from
inside wallets or handbags. Adhesive plastic stickers can be applied for
photo ID and the slot in the tokens makes them ideal for use with low cost
badge clips.

Appendix (v) ISO card unprintable area

Unprintable
area

Figure 9.2
ISO card unprintable area

19mm

24mm

ISO cards are suitable for use with an ID card printer, subject to observance
of the non-useable area on the card. The area is defined in figure 9.2 and is
viewed from the magstripe side of the card. It is advised that there may be
surface distortion here, which although within the specification of ISO 7810,
may give poor results if printed upon. This restriction applies to both sides
of the card.

working hours of employees. You can also note
periods of time out of the office for reasons such
as vacation, appointments and unpaid leave, etc.
Reports can also be exported for use with HR

Security lockdown is ideal for buildings or
sensitive sites that need to secure the premises
in the event of an emergency, allowing only
specific security personnel free movement during
lockdown

Roll call & muster reporting

Roll call allows the system administrator to obtain
a report listing all users currently within a specified
area. This is primarily used in the event of an emergency, such as a fire alarm, when it can be used to
check that everyone is out of the building

PRO

Anti-passback

The main purpose of an anti-passback system is
to prevent a user from passing their token back
to a second person to gain entry into the same
controlled area; for example, a car park

TCP/IP and RS485 LED indication
The Net2 plus performs two functions. It is an access control unit and also a TCP/IP RS485 converter. Information can
pass across the PCB between the TCP/IP and RS485 data port but is not relevant to this ACU.
- Server Connected LED (Steady Green)
This LED shows that the TCP/IP interface is active and receiving data from the Net2 PC server. This includes all data for
other ACU's that may be linked via the RS485 data port.
- Rx and Tx LED's
These LED's show the activity for this ACU only. This is same indication as seen on a Net2 classic ACU.
It is not dependent on the source (TCP/IP or RS485). The Rx LED will flash for all data being received and the Tx LED
will only flash when this unit responds to its own address.

Control unit installation
Wire the components to the unit as shown on the first page. Power up and wait for the OK heartbeat.
Each time the unit is powered on, it will run an internal health check.

SVN · Electronic Locks · ProAccess SPACE · Mobile Access
SVN XS4 / Neo ProAccess SPACE Mobile
Salto Systems is a Spanish manufacturer producing the SVN (Salto Virtual Network) electronic lock system. Salto is widely used in hospitality, healthcare, education, and commercial sites. The SVN system uses smart card credentials to carry access rights directly on the card, eliminating the need for a wired network to each lock. The XS4 and Neo ranges are the current product lines.

## SALTO PPD 500 (Portable Programming Device) - User's Manual

### Overview
The portable programming device is used to communicate data between the electronic furniture and the PC on which we have designed a locking plan using the SALTO RW software.

### Warnings
1. It is very important to make a back-copy of the database you are working with, in your computer. Salto Systems strongly recommends it, in order to be able to react in Emergency Opening situations and when the user has forgotten to enable the lock erasure.
2. Always make an up-date of the escutcheon after a battery change, or when 1 battery has been removed. This is to maintain the proper clock working, because the lock clock stops when the batteries are dead.

### The Display
1. BATTERY STATUS AREA: three bars (high battery), two bars (normal battery), one bar (low battery - replacement recommended), empty icon (very low batteries - not enough energy for emergency opening), flashing icon (batteries completely dead).
2. TIME AREA: shows the current time (taken from PC).
3. MENU LEVEL AREA: Shows the current main menu.
4. MENU OPTION AREA: shows the current menu option.
5, 6, 7. ACTIVE KEY ICONS: Represent which PPD keys are active.

### PPD Keys
- Power/ESC: Turns PPD on, works like ESCAPE key. Press and hold for 3 seconds to turn off.
- OK/Enter: Validates menu option. Press and hold for 3 seconds to enable/disable back lighting.
- Up Arrow: Go through menu options upwards.
- Down Arrow: Go through menu options downwards.
- Minus (-): Decrease LCD contrast.
- Plus (+): Increase LCD contrast.
- PPD turns off automatically after two minutes without activity. Backlight turns off after 20 seconds.

### Connections
1. Serial port connector (DB-9): Used to communicate with the PC through a serial (RS-232) protocol.
2. RJ11 female phone socket connector: Used to communicate with the electronic furniture.
- To connect to Electronic Furniture: Use SALTO RJ11 connecting cable with a special card on one end. Golden contacts must face the chip side.
- To connect to computer: Use SALTO DB-9 connecting cable.

### Working with the PPD
- UPDATE LOCKS: Shows doors requiring an update, or automatically updates the Electronic Furniture connected to the PPD.
- COLLECT AUDIT TRAIL: Collect audit trail events from one or several doors and view them on the computer.
- EMERGENCY OPENING: Open a door without an authorised smart card (e.g., dead batteries). Must be enabled in software (TOOLS/OPTIONS/PPD).
- INITIALIZE: Used the first time downloading data to Electronic Furniture. Transfers name, users, time zones, calendars, automatic opening periods, time, and date. Deletes ALL current information in the furniture's memory.

- Wait 3-4 seconds for DOOR OPENED message.
- Replace batteries and update lock with current locking plan.

## SALTO KS Web App User Manual

### Introduction
This manual is a basic reference guide to operate the SALTO KS web application. It should be used when all hardware is installed and configured.

### Terminology
- **Locks**: Provide access to employees, customers, or guests. Connected to a repeater or IQ to check user access. Salto offers a multitude of lock types.

## SALTO PPD 500 (Portable Programming Device) - User's Manual

### Overview
The portable programming device is used to communicate data between the electronic furniture and the PC on which we have designed a locking plan using the SALTO RW software.

### Warnings
1. It is very important to make a back-copy of the database you are working with, in your computer. Salto Systems strongly recommends it, in order to be able to react in Emergency Opening situations and when the user has forgotten to enable the lock erasure.
2. Always make an up-date of the escutcheon after a battery change, or when 1 battery has been removed. This is to maintain the proper clock working, because the lock clock stops when the batteries are dead.

### The Display
1. BATTERY STATUS AREA: three bars (high battery), two bars (normal battery), one bar (low battery - replacement recommended), empty icon (very low batteries - not enough energy for emergency opening), flashing icon (batteries completely dead).
2. TIME AREA: shows the current time (taken from PC).
3. MENU LEVEL AREA: Shows the current main menu.

# Videx Access Control Intercom Systems - Full Technical Reference

This document compiles comprehensive technical information regarding Videx access control intercom systems, extracted from various datasheets. It includes product ranges, technical specifications, wiring details, and other relevant technical data.

## PABX Interface Unit

### 275 PABX Interface

The 275 interface unit enables a Videx intercom panel to be connected to an analogue extension port on a telephone switchboard (PABX). The unit connects via two wires to a free extension port, allowing the intercom panel to call any other extension or hunt group. When a button is pressed on the intercom panel, the relevant extension or extensions will ring, and once answered, will allow a two-way conversation and the opening of the door by pressing “9” on the telephone keypad.

The 275 can connect directly to a single call button intercom panel or, with the use of the 275-10 interface, an intercom with up to 10 call buttons. The 275-Z or 275-D 5 button diode board is required when using the 275-10 interface (one required for every 5 buttons).

**Key Features include:**
* Connection to a free extension port on a PABX telephone system.
* Can be programmed to call any other extension or hunt group.
* Can connect up to 10 call buttons using the 275-10 interface module.
* With the 275-2W, can be connected to both the VX2200 and VX2300 digital intercom systems using either of the additional bus interface units: the 2280 (for the VX2200) or the 2380 (for the VX2300).

V1.0

Installation Manual
Programming

Installation
1) Before you install this equipment, please read this full manual.
2) Ensure that there is good network reception at the location where it will be installed.
Speech Unit
200mm min

4-5 feet minimum

3) For medium or low reception areas, to reduce audio interference on a call, install an optional external antenna. Ensure it is kept as high as possible, and ABOVE all electronics.

Programming is best done by SMS text. It can also be done by DTMF from a normal telephone.
1) First check reception. Send the following SMS to the unit... *20#
The unit should reply SIGNAL LEVEL = ?
Where ? will be between 1 and 31
Below 14 can cause problems with relay operation, or no voice from the gate to the house. Take action to improve reception.

1-12 Poor
13-20 Medium
21-31 Good

2) Program the numbers you wish the unit to dial when the call button is pressed, up to a maximum of 3 numbers. Each SMS must start with the pass code, default 1234, in the following format *12*1234#, followed immediately by a command. E.g to program the telephone number 0987654321, enter the following SMS..

Entrance Pillar Side View

Wiring

*12*1234#110987654321#

4) Carefully follow the wiring instructions. Additional wiring suggestions for electric strike lock and magnetic lock are shown overleaf.

Pass code Data Function code

Up to 3 numbers can be sent together in a single SMS as follows..

*12*1234#11tel.number1#12tel.number2#13tel.number3#
11 = Telephone number 1
12 = Telephone number 2
13 = Telephone number 3

3) It is recommended to change the “no answer” time if there is more than 1 number stored. This stops the unit ringing a number after a set time, and can be used to prevent voicemail answering the call. Send the following SMS..
*12*1234#52??# Where ?? can be 2 digits from 10-99 seconds, default is 20.
The unit can allow up to 100 telephone numbers to be stored, for users to be able to ring the system for automatic entry. This uses caller ID like a phone to determine the identity of the caller. First, the unit must know what country it is operating in.
4) Program the country code as follows..
Optional Antenna (Elevated position)

Speech panel

GSM module Intercom Transmitter

Shielded CAT5 cable 8 meters max. Keep short as possible for best audio quality.

*12*1234#71??#

Where ?? can be 1-3 digits. For uk, insert 44, for Ireland 353. Do not use any leading zeros.

5) Enter the telephone numbers required to have access control. Do not enter country code, just the complete number as you would dial it..
Up to 3 numbers can be sent together in the same SMS. Just

*12*1234#720987654321# add 72 then the number, then # each time. The pass code only needs to be put at the beginning of each new messge.

Additional Programming Parameters

GSM-3E

SIM card
5) Register your SIM card with the network, and check it works in a mobile phone first. If you are using a Pre-pay or Pay&Go SIM, it will need topped up first. Your SIM should be GSM compatible.
6) Ensure the power is OFF before inserting the SIM card.
7) Carefully slide the SIM holder in the OPEN direction, insert the SIM, and slide in the CLOSED direction to lock it in place. Do NOT Force or use a screwdriver!
8) After a final check of wiring, switch on the power.
9) Allow 20-30 seconds for the unit to boot up and detect the network. Once successful connection has been made, the unit will sound a confirmation tone and the status LED will begin flashing.
If there is a fault or problem, the unit will emit a series of bleeps or warning tones. If this occurs, check...
1) That the SIM card has been activated and has credit.
2) That the SIM card does not require a PIN code, disable this in a phone.
3) That the SIM card can make and received a call on a phone.
4) If the SIM card was purchased with a phone, that it is not locked to that phone. Call the network operator to check.
5) Switch off power, remove and reseat the SIM card and try again.

Q. The audio quality that can be heard on the remote telephone is poor or humming (buzzing).
A. A small amount of GSM buzz can be considered normal on GSM intercoms, but not so much that causes inability to hear the person speaking. This can be caused by the GSM antenna being mounted too close to the speech panel or not mounted high enough.
-Try earthling the speech panel chassis to 0V of the power supply.
-This is also a symptom of poor reception. Try above steps on checking and improving reception.
Q. The * or # key does not work when the intercom calls a phone.
A. Check if you can hear the relay clicking at the gate when the * or # key is pressed during a call. If it can be heard, then the system is working, check wiring between the relay and the lock or gate panel. If the relays do not make a clicking sound, then check this feature on a different mobile cell phone or landline. If it works on a different phone, check the settings on the phone in question under DTMF tones.
Failure of DTMF tones to operate correctly is also a symptom of low reception. Check steps above on improving reception. Try pressing the buttons longer when attempting to activate the gates or door.

4000 Series Surface and flush mounting door station installation
INSTALLING A SURFACE MOUNT DOOR STATION
1. Place the surface box against the wall (165-170cm between the top of the box and the floor level as shown in Fig. 1) and mark the fixing holes for the wall plugs and the hole for the cables E (fig. 2). Observe the orientation of the box with the hinge on the left;
In order to prevent water ingress we highly recommend using a silicon sealant between the wall and the back box C (Fig.3) and around all holes D (Fig.3);
2. As shown on Fig. 2, drill the fixing holes A, insert the wall plugs B and feed the cables E through a previously opened hole in the box. Observe the direction of the box ensuring the hinge is on the left and take care that the box profile is in line with the finished wall profile;
3. Apply the Y silicon sealant on top of each module as shown in Fig. 4;
4. Before installation of the module support frame, hook the modules G to the support frame H as shown in Fig. 5 then, as shown in Fig. 6, fit the two anti-tampering locks W for each module (do the same for the second module support frame);5. When you have more than one support frame, hook the support frame to the surface box starting from the left. For convenience we will described how to attach the left frame but the same must be carried out for the right frame. As shown in Fig. 7, hook the module support frame H (complete with modules) to the surface box C moving the frame as suggested from p

6. As shown on Fig. 9, pull back the module support frame H while moving it slightly to the left as suggested by the pointers;
7. As shown in Fig. 10, open the module support frame H as suggested by the pointer, hook the hinge locks N to the hinges M, make the required connections using the screwdriver provided P (flat blade end) and make the required adjustment by adjusting the settings (through openings O) and adjust trimmers;
8. Repeat the same operations described above for the second module support frame (or for the third if available);
9. When the system has been tested and is working correctly, move back the module support frames carefully, fix them to the surface box using the screwdriver provided P (torx end) and the pin machine torx screws Q (Fig. 11). Note: do not over tighten the screws more than is necessary.
INSTALLING A FLUSH MOUNTING DOOR STATION
When flush mounting and the number of modules is greater than 3, the required back boxes need to be linked together (before embedding them in the wall) as shown on Fig. 14, 15 and 16:
• Arrange the back boxes and remove knockouts to allow cables to be fed from one back box to the other;
• Hook the spacers to first back box then hook the second back box to obtain the result shown on Fig. 16;
1. Protect the module support frame fixing holes from dust then embed the back box into the wall (165-170cm between the top of the box and the floor level as shown on the Fig. 1) feeding the cables E (Fig. 2) through a previously opened hole in the box. Observe the direction of the box ensuring the hinge is on the left and take care that the box profile is in line with the finished wall profile;
In order to prevent water ingress we highly recommend using a silicon sealant between the wall and the back box H (Fig.12);
2. Continue from step 4 of surface mounting instructions , but at step 7 hook the hinge locks N as shown on Fig. 13.
Note: if additional holes are made in the surface box, oxidation problems may appear unless the unprotected metal is coated with a protective paint.
NOTES
• The screwdriver’s blade has two sides, one flat and one torx, to select one of them unplug the blade from the screwdriver body and plug it into the required side.
• The example shows the use of only one back box bottom hole for wires, this is done to keep file drawings clear. Naturally the installer can use the left hole or the right or both if required.
HOW TO REMOVE THE CARD NAME HOLDER
• To avoid damage to the module front plate, tape the side that will be in contact with the screwdriver blade;
• lnsert the screwdriver (flat side) into the card-holder hole as shown in Fig. 17;
• Move the screwdriver to the left as shown in Fig. 18 to extract the card name holder;
• Edit the card name then replace it inside the holder and refit: insert the holder inside its housing from the left or right side then push the other side until it clips into place.

MANUAL INTRODUCTION

The information in this manual is intended as an installation and commissioning guide for the 4000 series GSM PRO audio intercom system. This manual should be read carefully before the installation commences. Any damage caused to the equipment due to faulty installation where the information in this manual has not been followed is not the responsibility of Videx Security Ltd.
It is recommended that the GSM PRO audio intercom is installed by a competent electrician, security or communications engineer.
VIDEX run free training courses for engineers who are unfamilier or who have not installed this system before. Technical help is also available on 0191 224 3174 during office hours (8:30am - 5:00pm MON to FRI) or via e-mail: tech@videxuk.com.
A copy of this Technical Manual can also be downloaded from the Videx website: www.videxuk.com.
SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
The system is designed to work on the same technology as mobile phones. It enables a call to be made from an entry point (door, gate etc), to any telephone number (mobile or land line). Up to 50 call buttons can be connected to the door panel, each able to call four telephone numbers (if the first is busy or not answered, the call can be diverted to up to three different numbers). Features of the system include:
• A dry contact relay output.
• Two open collector auxiliary outputs.
• Two auxiliary inputs.
• A push to exit input.
• Integrated Proximity Access Control (up to 1000 proximity fobs or cards can be stored, these fobs/cards when presented to the name plate window on the GSM PRO intercom will activate the door/gate relay).
• Call progress speech annunciation and call progress LED indication.
• Dial to Open facility (this feature enables up to 1000 stored numbers to dial the GSM PRO intercom, the intercom panel will not answer these calls, but will activate the door/gate relay without being charged for the call).
• Programmable timeband facility.
• Micro USB connection (for ease of programming using the GSMSK PC software).
• Integrated bootloader function (for updating intercom panel firmware via the GSMSK PC software).
• Event logging system (which can record up to 4000 events).
Programming of the telephone numbers and the additional features, including programming key fobs for the integrated proximity access, can be carried out via text messaging (refer to pages 28 to 45) or PC using the GSMSK PC software (refer to the GSMSK PC software manual).
A SIM card is required for this product but not supplied. The GSM PRO intercom can only accept a standard size SIM card (refer to SIM card size chart on page 5), both a micro-SIM and nano-SIM are not suitable. It is recommended to choose the SIM card which has the best coverage for the area in which the intercom panel will be installed. Both contract and ‘Pay as you go’ SIM cards can be used, however if using a ‘Pay as you go’ we would recommend setting up an automatic top up to avoid running short on credit and losing the use of the intercom panel.

Network Provider Selection
It is imperative that for the reliable operation of the system that the best network provider for the area is selected. Problems such as network disconnection can occur if the provider has signal or interference problems for that area. We would recommend using a GSM signal strength meter to survey the intended antenna location.
As an initial check we also recommend visiting the ofcom website www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk and enter the postcode of the intended installation. This will show all transmitters in the area. It is advised to choose the closest one or if there are many then choose a transmitter working on 900MHz as this frequency works best through obstacles such as walls, buildings etc. The antenna should always be mounted vertically at the highest point possible. Metal structures and sources of interference such as power cables, control panels etc. can affect signals and so the antenna should be mounted away from these.
When registering a new SIM you may be asked for the IMEI number. This is the unique serial number of the GSM intercom. This number is located internally on the main hardware chip inside the GSM PRO module. To gain access to the GSM module and obtain this number the module will have to be opened. It is recommended that you contact Videx Technical on tel: 0191 224 3174 for advise on how to do this. The IMEI number is printed on the Telit chip label below the chip model number, as shown in Fig.1.

PRECAUTIONARY ADVICE

• When mounting the GSM antenna, choose a location which is away from human interaction and away from the intercom panel. Route the GSM antenna cable from the intercom panel so that it is separate from the power supply cables and microphone wire.
• Always ensure the power is switched OFF to the intercom panel before inserting or removing the SIM card.
• New SIM cards will need registering with the network service provider before they can be used. Full details of how this is done can normally be found in the SIM card pack. It will normally require that the SIM card is inserted into a mobile phone, a number dialled and instructions followed. While the SIM is in the mobile phone it would be a good time to disable any PIN codes, call diverts, ring back and disable features such as voicemail and text alerts. Details of how to do this can be found on the SIM card provider’s web site or by calling their customer services. Recommended SIM card providers are: Vodafone, T-Mobile, O2 or Orange/EE. We do not recommend using the 3 network at this present time.
• To be able to receive text messages from the intercom panel, the SIM card will require an SMS service centre number. This is normally preinstalled on new SIM cards but if you are having trouble receiving SMS messages you will need to confirm this by inserting the SIM card into a mobile phone and using the phones menu options to check it. If a number is not programmed then it should be programmed while in the phone (the number can be obtained from the network service provider).
• Voicemail and text alerts must be switched OFF on the SIM card when using the dial in to release the door/gate feature. For Vodafone and O2 this can be done while the SIM card is in the intercom panel. For Orange/EE, T-Mobile and other providers the SIM card must be removed from the intercom panel, inserted into a mobile phone and the mobile phone menu instructions followed.
• When storing the intercom panel’s telephone number in your own mobile phone avoid using an obvious name such as ‘Front Door, or ‘My Gate’ as this would make it easy to decipher if your phone was lost or stolen.
• The PIN request feature must be disabled on the SIM card before using it in the Intercom panel. It is likely on a new SIM card that it will not be enabled but if it is, it will prevent the system from working at all.
• This product may not be suitable for installation in hospitals, health care facilities or in the presence of flammable gases or liquids. Seek advice and authorisation before installing this product in these locations. This product is not designed to be used as an emergency call point.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE SIM CARD
When using a pay monthly SIM card you must ask the service provider to put a spend limit (credit limit) on the account (Vodafone call this service ‘spend checker’). This is to safeguard against large bills if the SIM card is stolen or used fraudulently.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
ART.4810 GSM PRO INTERCOM

ART.4800 - ART.4800M CODELOCK
The Art.4800 - Art.4800M codelock module can be powered from 12-24V AC or DC and includes three dry contact relay outputs and two switched 0V push to exit inputs which can be used to trigger relay 1 & 2. One code per relay can be programmed into the device. Codes can be between 4-8 digits long. The relay time can be 01-99 seconds or set for latching (00). When in latching mode, enter the code followed by ‘ENTER’ to latch the relay and the code followed by ‘CLEAR’ to unlatch the relay.

Built In Relays Back EMF Protection (Art.4800M only)
The Art.4800M includes selectable back EMF protection jumpers on the relays. These jumpers are marked MOV (one jumper for each relay) are used to select the protection type. When using a fail secure lock with connections C & NO the jumper should be in the NO position. When using a fail open lock with connections C & NC the jumper should be in the NC position, as shown in Fig.5. When using the codelock to trigger a gate controller or another third party controller the jumper should be removed completely (this disables the protection on the relay).

Art.4800 - Art.4800M Programming Guide
Initial Programming

All programming is carried out using the keypad. The programming menu is protected by an engineer’s code. The factory default engineer’s code is ‘111111’ (6x1). This code can be changed to any 4 to 8 digit engineer’s code during the programming, but must be different to the access codes used to gain entry. Follow the flow chart below to setup the access codes:
The red LED will illuminate to acknowledge the Art.4800 - Art.4800M is in programming mode. If the red LED does not illuminate check the engineer’s code is correct. If the engineer’s code has been changed from the factory default and you do not know what it is then follow the factory default procedure on page 14.

Enter the default engineer’s code ‘111111’. Then press ENTER.

Enter a new engineer’s code or enter the same engineer’s code again. Then press ENTER.

This new engineer’s code can be from 4 – 8 digits long and will not activate the relays. It can only be used to enter programming mode. Please note that this new engineer’s code will be needed to re-program the Art.4800 - Art.4800M relay codes in the future.

Enter the access code for relay 1. Then press ENTER.

This access code will be used to open the door/gate for relay 1. The code can be from 4 – 8 digits long and must be different from the engineer’s code and different from the previous access codes.

Enter a two digit relay 1 time from 00 - 99 seconds. Then press ENTER.

This is the time that relay 1 will activate for. It is a two digit number, for example if relay 1 needs to activate for 5 seconds then enter ‘05’ followed by ENTER. ‘00’ will latch the relay when the access code is entered and require the access code followed by CLEAR to unlatch.

More codes?

YES Enter the access code for relay 2 / 3. Then press ENTER.

This access code will be used to open the door/gate for relay 2/relay 3. The code can be from 4 – 8 digits long and must be different from the engineer’s code and different from the previous access codes.

Enter a two digit relay 2 / 3 time from 00 - 99 seconds. Then press ENTER.

This is the time that relay 2/relay 3 will activate for. It is a two digit number, for example if relay 2/relay 3 needs to activate for 5 seconds then enter ‘05’ followed by ENTER. ‘00’ will latch the relay when the access code is entered and require the access code followed by CLEAR to unlatch.

Press ENTER twice to exit programming

The Art.4800 - Art.4800M codelock will play a melody and the red LED will switch OFF to confirm all the settings are saved and exit from programming mode.

Re-programming the Art.4800 - Art.4800M Codelock

If the Art.4800 - Art.4800M codelock has been programmed with an existing access code and it needs to be changed then follow the flow chart below to re-program a new acces code:
Enter the existing engineer’s code. Then press ENTER.
The red LED will illuminate to indicate that the codelock is in programming mode*.

Re-enter the existing engineer’s code again. Then press ENTER.

Alternatively enter a new eningeer’s code (4 - 8 digits).

Enter a new access code for the relay. Then press ENTER.

Relay access code (4 - 8 digits) that operates the door or gate.**

Enter a two digit relay time from 00 - 99 seconds. Then press ENTER.

2 digit relay time (01 - 99 seconds or 00 for latching).

More codes?

NO

YES

Repeat steps for a new access code and time for relay 2 and relay 3

Press ENTER twice to exit programming
The red LED will switch OFF to indicate that the codelock has exited programming mode.

Programming Notes
* If the red LED does not illuminate then the engineer’s code has been previously changed or is incorrect. To reset this code follow the factory reset procedure below.
** On the first loop of the flow chart above the access code is for relay 1 on the second loop the access code is for relay 2 and on the third loop the access code is for relay 3.
Resetting the Engineer’s Code back to Factory Default: ‘111111’ (6x1)
1. Remove/disconnect the power from the Art.4800 - Art.4800M codelock.
2. Press and hold down the ENTER button while the power is switched back onto the codelock.
3. Once power is restored to the codelock release the ENTER button.
4. The engineer’s code has been reset back to the factory default of ‘111111’ (6x1).

Max resistance of all lines: 8 Ohm

INSTALLATION NOTES
• All multipair cables should be compliant to CW1308 specification (0.5mm twisted pair telephone cable).
• Cables for speech line and service should have a max resistance of 10Ω.
• Lock release wires should be doubled up (Lock release wires and power supply wires should have a max resistance of 3Ω).
• The cables sizes above can be used for distances up to 50m. On distances above 50m the cable sizes should be increased to keep the overall resistance of the cable below the RESISTANCES indicated above.
• Double check the connections before power up.
• Power up the system then check all functions.

LOCK RELEASE WIRING AND BACK EMF PROTECTION
A varistor must be fitted across the terminals on AC lock release (Fig.23A) and a diode must be fitted across the terminals on a DC lock release (Fig.23B) to suppress back EMF voltages. Connect the components to the lock releases as shown in figures.

CONNECTION TO MAINS, SAFETY AND GUIDANCE NOTES
The system must be installed according to national rules in force, in particular we recommend to:
• Connect the system to the mains through an all-pole circuit breaker which shall have contact separation of at least 3mm in each pole and shall disconnect all poles simultaneously;
• The all-pole circuit breaker shall be placed for easy access and the switch shall remain readily operable.

POWER SUPPLY INSTALLATION
• Remove the terminal side covers by unscrewing the retaining screws;
• Fix the power supply to a DIN bar or directly to the wall using two expansion type screws;
• Switch off the mains using the circuit breaker mentioned above and then make the connections as shown on the installation diagrams;
• Check the connections and secure the wires into the terminals;
• Replace the terminal covers and fix them using the relevant screws;
• When all connections are made, restore the mains.

PANEL CARE
• The panel should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Fault finding & FAQs

Q. The unit will not power up. No LEDs on.
A. Check power supply voltage is within 11.5V-12.5V DC.

Q. The unit powers up but there is a bleeping from the door station.
A. This means the unit is not able to detect the network for some reason.
-Check the SIM card is activated and has calling credit.
-Power off the unit, remove the SIM and check it in a mobile phone to verify it can make a call.
-Check the SIM does not ask for a PIN code when put in a phone. If it does, then disable the PIN code request.
-Check the SIM is a standard GSM SIM, not 3G or 4G only SIM. If you are unsure, contact your SIM card provider to verify. Frequency of operation should be any one of the international quad band standards, 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz.
-Check the reception is good. Poor reception is not sufficient.
-Check the antenna has been mounted as high as possible, not near large metal objects, or wet green shrubs etc.
-Check the antenna connection. Visually inspect that the centre pin inside the antenna is intact, and has not been pushed back inside the fitting.
Q. The unit calls the first number, but there is not enough time to answer before it diverts to the next number.
A. Increase the no answer time as per programming instructions.

Q. The unit calls the first number but voicemail comes on before it can ring the second number.
A. Decrease the no answer time as per programming instructions.

Q. There is no audio from the gate, but the person at the gate can hear ok.
A. This can be due to low reception.
-Check reception level by *20#.
-Change SIM card if necessary to another network which may have better coverage.
-Purchase a high gain antenna.
This may also be caused by either a defective microphone, or incorrect microphone wiring, or a short circuit by whiskers between the centre core and the shielding, or excessive microphone cable length.

Q. The caller ID part does not work.
A. Be sure to program the caller ID part under 72 feature. If your number is a private or number withheld, then it will not work.
Even if you have already programmed a number to receive a call from the intercom, if you also want that number to have caller ID access, it must be programmed under the 72 feature also.
Ensure the number is entered as you would normally dial it from another phone.
Do not put the country code in front of the number.
Enter the country code in which the unit is operating in separate under the 71 feature.
International callers ringing the intercom may not work.

Q. The audio quality that can be heard on the remote telephone is poor or humming (buzzing).
A. A small amount of GSM buzz can be considered normal on GSM intercoms, but not so much that causes inability to hear the person speaking. This can be caused by the GSM antenna being mounted too close to the speech panel or not mounted high enough.
-Try earthling the speech panel chassis to 0V of the power supply.
-This is also a symptom of poor reception. Try above steps on checking and improving reception.
Q. The * or # key does not work when the intercom calls a phone.
A. Check if you can hear the relay clicking at the gate when the * or # key is pressed during a call. If it can be heard, then the system is working, check wiring between the relay and the lock or gate panel. If the relays do not make a clicking sound, then check this feature on a different mobile cell phone or landline. If it works on a different phone, check the settings on the phone in question under DTMF tones.
Failure of DTMF tones to operate correctly is also a symptom of low reception. Check steps above on improving reception. Try pressing the buttons longer when attempting to activate the gates or door.
