Previous page Configuring access cards in the ApolloSDK integration module  Configuring ports of the AAN controller Next page


The AAN controller is configured as follows:

  1. Create an AAN Controller object based on the ApolloSDK object.
  2. Go to the AAN Controller object's settings pane (1).
  3. If the AAN controller is connected to the Server through a COM port, then do the following:
    1. Set the RS-232 bond type (1)
    2. In the COM port field, enter the number of the COM port used to connect the AAN controller to the Server (2).
    3. From the Speed dropdown list, select the speed of the AAN controller's COM-port connection (3).
  4. If the AAN controller is connected to the Server over Ethernet, then do the following:
    1. Set the IP bond type (1).
    2. In the IP address field, enter the AAN controller's IP address (2).
    3. Enter the AAN controller's port number in the IP Port field (3).
  5. Select the type of AAN controller (AAN-32 or AAN-100) from the Type dropdown list, depending on the type of hardware being used (1).
  6. In the Time confirmed by operator field, enter the time in seconds allotted to the operator to make a decision to grant or deny access (2).
  7. In the Time of presentation the card field, enter the period of time in seconds between the presentation of the first and second access cards which, if exceeded, will result in access not being granted (3).
  8. In the PIN drop-down list select the type of PIN code (4):
    1. Disabled
    2. 1 to 4 digits
    3. 1 to 6 digits
  9. By default, each card has only one access level. It is possible to forcibly enhance the number of access levels per card (up to 6, 32 or 38), but this will reduce the total number of cards that can be recorded to the controller. To enable additional access levels, do the following:
    1. Set the Use 6 additional access levels checkbox to enable 6 additional access levels (5).
    2. Set the Use 32 additional access levels checkbox to enable 32 additional access levels (6).
  10. If anti-passback is to be enabled, set the Use APB checkbox (7).

  11. In the Max number of cards field, enter the maximum number of access cards that will be stored in the controller's memory (8).

    Note:

     The maximum number of access cards that can be stored in the controller's memory depends on the number of memory cards installed in it.

  12. Proceed with binding AAN controller regions with ACFA-Intellect regions —  in the Binding regions table there is a list of Region objects created in the ACFA-Intellect software. Specify the numbers of AAN controller regions corresponding to them (9).

    Note.

    The Region objects are created based on the Area objects on the Programming tab of the System Settings dialog box.
  13. To save any changes made, click the Apply button (10).
  14. To save changes into the controller send the configuration (see Saving configuration of the AAN controller).

This completes the configuration of the AAN controller.
