When you configure the Access Manager module, you can specify the list of control readers used for assigning access cards or adding biometric parameters of users in the Access Manager interface window.

Any reader from the ACS integration modules (see ACS integration modules), FSA/ACS (see ACFA Systems integration modules) can act as a control reader, as well as the control readers from the control reader integration modules (see Control Readers Settings Guide).

To select control readers, do the following:

  1. Go to the Readers tab on the settings panel of the Access Manager object.
  2. If you want the operator to confirm the assignment of access cards to a user, set the Confirm card entered by operator checkbox.
  3. If necessary, in the Filter group, filter the cameras that are used in the Access Manager to assign photos to a user.
    1. To filter by status, from the Status drop-down list, select the camera status: Used, Not used, Any.
    2. To filter by name, enter the camera name in the Name field. The search starts from the first character.
    3. To filter by ID, enter the camera ID in the ID field.
    4. To filter by server, select the required server from the Server drop-down list.
    5. Select one or more control readers with a double click.

      To collapse the structure of control readers, click the Collapse all button. To deselect the readers, click the Clear usage button. To reset the filters and the search result, click the Reset filters button.

  4. Click the Apply button to save the changes.

If you don't select any reader, all readers in the system are displayed (the Any status).

If you select at least one reader, the status automatically change to Used the next time you open the tab.

Configuring control readers in the Access Manager is complete.
