How to Set Up a Site
42 AxTraxNG™ Software Installation and User Manual
Use two readers per door when one door acts as both the entrance and exit to
an area of the site. When only an entry reader is required, use one reader per
door.
For example:
Use configuration with two readers per door set to IN and OUT to
produce attendance reports.
Use one reader per door configuration to control two doors with an IN
reader only (premises will be exited using a REX switch or a mechanical
door handle only).
When there is communication with the panel, the Tx and Rx LEDs flash.
5.4.1 General Panel Settings
The
General
tab of the Door Controller Panel Properties window displays the
following:
The panel's address and status
The DIP switch settings for the panel
If panel expansion boards are installed, the tab also displays:
The input and output connections for the panel
The panel's hardware version
Refer to AC-525 Hardware manual for further details.
5.4.2 Adding a Panel
You can add an individual panel using the Tree View.
Alternatively, it is possible to search for panels over the access control network
using the
Find Panels
option. This is particularly useful during installations.
AxTraxNG™ finds all connected panels in the network and checks them.
Panels can then be quickly activated and updated.
To add an individual panel:
1. In the Tree View, click AC Networks.
2. Select an available network.
3. On the toolbar, click the icon.
The
Add
Panel
window opens.
