The AIM Interface Module's readers are configured on the settings panel of the corresponding object. A Reader object is created based on the AIM Interface Module object.

 

Readers are configured as follows:

  1. Go to the Reader object's settings panel.
  2. From the Enter dropdown list select the Section object that corresponds to the area to which this reader enters (1).
  3. From the Exit dropdown list select the Section object that corresponds to the area to which this reader exits (2).
  4. From the Number dropdown list select the reader's index number (3).

  5. From the Operating mode dropdown list select the reader's operating mode (4).

  6. From the Autonomous operating mode dropdown list select the operating mode to be employed by the reader if the connection with the controller is lost (5).
  7. In the Max number of failed access attempts field, enter the number of failed access attempts that can be made before a Break-in Attempt message is sent (6).
  8. In the Lock opening time field, enter the time period (in seconds) in which the lock will be unlocked (7).
  9. In the Access time field, enter the time allotted for access (8).
  10. Check the Request when access allowed checkbox if an access request must be sent to the operator when an access attempt has been made successfully (9).
  11. Check the Request when access denied checkbox if an access request must be sent to the operator when an access attempt has failed (10).
  12. Check the Control from two cards checkbox if access requires two access cards being presented (11).
  13. If the AIM module's auxiliary sensor AUX is to be used as the door-opening sensor, then check the corresponding option (12).  
  14. If the door sensor should be ignored, then check the corresponding option (13).
  15. If it is not required to wait for the full access time after the card is put to the reader for the lock of the "trigger" type, i.e. the lock is to be closed immediately after the door is closed, set the Do not use the full time for trigger checkbox (14).
  16. If the exit button is to be forbidden, set the corresponding checkbox (15).

  17. By default, the cards are saved in the main AAN controller only. If the cards are to be saved not only in the main controller but in minor controllers too, so that when connection between them is lost the readers could operate off-line, set the corresponding checkbox (16).

    Note.

    Enabling this option increases the recording configuration time.
  18. If impulse reset is to be permitted, set the corresponding checkbox (17).
  19. To save any changes made, click the Apply button (18).

This completes the configuration of the AIM interface module's readers.
