6 PRT-WX-DIN Using Protege WX Installation and Programming Manual | June 2013
Introduction
Protege WX is an all-in-one, web-based, cross-platform system that gives you a fully functional access control
and intrusion detection solution in a fraction of the time of conventional software. With no software to install,
setup is quick and simple. Connect the Controller and system components, then open a web browser to launch
the intuitive wizard-driven interface which guides you through the process of configuring your system.
Operation Mode
Protege WX launches in basic mode with full access control and intrusion detection ready to go. This hides the
more complicated features making the system more intuitive and simple to use. Undertake an optional training
course to become a 'WXpert' and unlock the advanced features including building automation, programmable
functions, and elevator control.
This manual covers basic mode only. Documentation on the advanced features is available upon enrolment on
the Protege WX training course. To find out more about training and unlocking advanced mode, please contact
