Sphinx ACS access point is configured on the settings panel of the Sphinx access point object. This object is created on the base of the Sphinx server object in the Hardware tab of the System settings dialog box.

The Access point object is registered automatically when reading Sphinx ACS configuration.

The following parameters are automatically specified when reading Sphinx ACS configuration:

1. Access point ID in the Sphinx ACS database (1);
   

2. access point configuration (2);

   Access point configuration is set using the switch on the card of corresponding Sphinx ACS controller (see reference documentation about Sphinx ACS).

   
   

3. access control mode (3).

Sphinx ACS access points are configured as follows:

1. In the Entry dropdown list select the Region object corresponding to the area on the side of exit from the access point (4).
2. In the Exit dropdown list select the Region object corresponding to the area on the side of entrance to the access point (5).
3. Set parameters of access control at entrance (6):

   1. In the Entry dropdown list select the one that will decide whether to give access or not and whether to register it or not – Intellect Server or operator;

      To process the request operator is to create a Photo ID interface object and configure it for the Operator’s query (Access granted) event. For more information about this object and its functions, please refer to Photo ID User Guide.

      
      

   2. If it is considered that passing is performed just after placing the access card to the reader, then check the Don’t wait access cycle for exit checkbox. If the passing is considered to be performed only after passing the access point (i.e. door sensor is triggered), uncheck this checkbox.
4. Set parameters of access control at exit (7). The parameters are the same as those of access control at entrance (see the previous item).
5. Click the Apply button to save all changes (8).
6. Repeat steps 1-9 for all required Sphinx ACS access points. 

Sphinx ACS access points are now configured.
