You can configure system parameters of the BioSmart Prox-E controller on the System parameters tab on the settings panel of the BioSmart Prox-E object.

  1. From the Access mode drop-down list (1), select the controller operating mode:
    1. Standard—access by fingerprint or access card.
    2. Multi-access—access to the premises only when different employees simultaneously scan fingerprints (simultaneously put access cards to the scanner) on different readers. To work in this mode, it is necessary to connect at least two readers to the controller.
    3. Gateway—access to a pass-through room. The second door cannot be opened until the first door is closed.
    4. Maintenance—access to the premises only when two employees, who are assigned access to this reader, are successfully identified in turn on one reader.
  2. From the Tamper housing control drop-down list (2):
    1. Select the On value to enable the tamper housing control. When the controller housing is tampered, the corresponding event will be received and the alarm will be activated.
    2. Select the Off value to disable the tamper housing control. When the controller housing is tampered, the corresponding event won’t be received and the alarm won’t be activated.
  3. In the Number of tampering attempts field (3), enter the number of unsuccessful access attempts by any identifier. When this number is exceeded, the controller will be locked for the time specified in the Locking timeout while tempering field (see step 4).

  4. In the Locking timeout while tempering field (4), enter the time in seconds, for which the controller will be locked when the number of unsuccessful access attempts is exceeded (see step 3).

  5. From the Consider door hack drop-down list (5) select the On value to enable the door hack control, so that the controller generates a "Door hack" event when there is an active signal from the door sensor without a preceding "Identification successful" event. The default value is Off.
  6. From the Unblock on alarm drop-down list (6), select the mode of door unblocking in case of an alarm According to sensor or Once.
  7. From the Blocking mode from monitoring drop-down list (7), select the algorithm by which the controller relay will be disabled after it is enabled with the Open button:
    1. By timer—the relay will be disabled after the time specified in the input/output setting of the reader working with the controller;
    2. Manual—the relay will be disabled only when the Close button is clicked.
  8. From the Wiegand output type drop-down list (8), select the protocol type of the Wiegand output interface of the BioSmart Prox-E controller. It is used for integration with the third-party ACS.
    1. Not used—third-party device isn’t connected to the Wiegand output of the BioSmart Prox-E controller.
    2. Wiegand-26 (W/P)—third-party ACS controller using the Wiegand 26 protocol with parity check bits is connected to the Wiegand output of the BioSmart Prox-E controller.
    3. Wiegand-32—third-party ACS controller using the Wiegand 32 protocol is connected to the Wiegand output of the BioSmart Prox-E controller.
  9. From the Bypass mode drop-down list (9), select the On value to enable the bypass mode. In this case, the card not registered in the ACFA PSIM database will be available for transmission to the third-party ACS controller via the Wiegand output of the Biosmart Prox-E controller. The default value is Off.
  10. Click the Apply  button to save the changes.
