Notes
3 In the Name field, enter a name for the Controller.
4 In the Description field, enter a description of the
Controller.
5 Select the controller type from the drop-down list. AC301
and AC512 are the only controllers applicable to an offline
system.
6 Click the checkbox next to 4-State Override if this type of
monitoring of the controller is used.
The 4-state circuit (fully supervised circuit) monitors the con-
dition of the cabling as well as the activation circuit. This pro-
vides additional security to the override activation circuit and
helps avoid an unnoticed trouble condition in the field wiring.
A break in the wiring may not unlock the doors but instead
will cause a supervisory condition to be reported to the soft-
ware.
7 Click the checkbox next to Lock Sharing if the lock is
controlled by an in and out reader on door channels n and
m (specified by check box). This should only be used with
1100/2100 Series Door Controllers or Wiegand in and out
readers.
8 Click Add.
A new controller icon appears in the window.
