Introduction EtherProx Entry
Input 2 Monitors request-to-exit button (Normally Open)
For normal door mode access, the reader has one relay reserved for a door strike.
You can configure the relay to Powered to Secure or Powered to Unlock; the relay
automatically fires when a valid card is presented to the reader.
Initially, enter all card ID numbers into the reader's database. When a valid card is
read, access is granted. You can assign PINs to some or all of the cards to
increase security. You can configure the reader to require a valid PIN after
presenting a card. The PIN can be required on either the entry or the exit sides of
the door, or on both sides, depending on your security needs.
You can set up time zones to limit access during specific hours. You can configure
the reader to allow access to cardholders entering a specific Global Pin Code,
without the need to present a card. This is especially useful for time-specific group
functions or for situations where tight security is not required.
Reader Types
Software House manufactures four readers: EtherProx Entry; InfoProx Entry;
InfoProx Exit, and InfoProx Online. The EtherProx Entry is a door control unit that
is controlled through web-based software The InfoProx is a standalone door
control unit that contains memory and data; the InfoProx Exit works with the
InfoProx Entry or the EtherProx Entry. The InfoProx Online will be used with iStar
90X0 series controllers and AC 2000.
Since all the Prox readers look alike, a Sensor Pass (SPASS) identification code
distinguishes one reader from another. The SPASS code appears on the back of a
reader unit so that you can verify that you have the correct type of reader for your
installation. The following table lists the reader units with their SPASS code.
