Parameter Set-up:

  • User ID: the user ID is 11 digits maximum in length and cannot be reused for other users. The user ID can be generated automatically or manually.

  • Role: select General User for residents and Admin for the administrator.

  • Code: place the card on the device's card reader area and click Obtain to acquire the card code.

Note
  • RF card with 13.56 MHz and 125 KHz can be applicable to the door phone for door access.

After the user information and RF card are configured, you can configure the access control on the Access Setting section.

Parameter Set-up:

  • Relay: select the relay(s) that you want to apply the private PIN code for the door unlock.
  • Web relay: select the specific number of web relay action commands you have set up on the web interface.
  • Schedule: select from the created door access schedule on the right box and move the one to be applied to the user(s)-specific PIN code door access to the box on the right side.

IC/ID Card Control

Enable or disable the device-supporting card type.

Navigate to the web Intercom > Card Setting > Card Type Support interface.

Configure RF Card Code Format

To integrate the RF card door access with the third-party intercom system, you need to match the RF card code format with the one used by the third-party system.

Navigate to the web Intercom > Card Setting > RFID interface.

Parameters Set-up:

  • IC Card Display Mode: select the card code format for the IC Card for the door access among seven format options: 8H10D; 6H3D5D(W26); 6H8D; 8HN; 8HR; 6H3D5D-R(W26); 8HR10D. The card code format is 8HN by default in the door phone.

  • ID Card Order: select ID card reading in normal order or reversed order. You might need to select card orders for third-party integration (eg. third-party access control). and you can also reverse the card number for card protection.

  • ID Card Display Mode: select the card format for the ID Card for the door access among seven format options: 8H10D; 6H3D5D(W26); 6H8D; 8HN; 8HR; 6H3D5D-R(W26); 8HR10D. The card code format is 8HN by default in the door phone.

Mifare Card Encryption

The door phone can encrypt Mifare cards for greater security. When this feature is enabled, it reads the data in the cards’ designated sectors and blocks, not the UID.

Navigate to the web Intercom > Card Setting > Mifare Card Encryption interface.

Parameter Set-up:

  • Sector/Block: the sector and block that you want the card number to be written into the Mifare Card. For example, you can write the card number into sector 3 and block 3 in the card.

  • Block Key: the block password for access.

NFC Card Setting

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a popular way for door access. It uses radio waves for data transmission interaction. The device can be unlocked by NFC. You can keep the mobile phone closer to the device for door access.

To enable it on the web Intercom > Card Setting > Contactless Smart Card interface.

Import and Export User Data

You can export the user data in batch to modify such information as RF card codes. Then, import it to other devices for efficiently managing users.

Navigate to the web Intercom > User interface.

Parameter Set-up:

  • AES Key For Import: enter the AES code before importing the AES-encrypted .tgz file to the door phone.

Configure Open Relay via HTTP for Door Unlock

You can unlock the door remotely without approaching the device physically for door entry by typing in the created HTTP command (URL) on the web browser to trigger the relay when you are not available by the door for door entry.

Navigate to the web Intercom > Relay > Open Relay Via HTTP interface.

Parameter Set-up:

  • Session Check: enable it to protect data transmission security.

  • User Name: customize the username as part of the HTTP command, for example, admin.

  • Password: customize the password as part of the HTTP command. For example: 12345.

Please refer to the following example:
http://192.168.35.127/fcgi/do?action=OpenDoor&UserName=admin&Password=12345&DoorNum=1

Note:
  • DoorNum in the HTTP command above refers to the relay number #1 to be triggered for the door access.
  • The device with high security mode enabled only supports the new HTTP formats. Please refer to Security.

Configure Exit Button for Door Unlock

When you need to open the door from inside using the Exit button installed by the door, you can configure the door phone Input to trigger the relay for the door access.

Navigate to the web Intercom > Input interface.

Parameter set-up:

  • Trigger Electrical Level: select the trigger electrical level options between High and Low according to the actual operation of the exit button.

  • Action To Execute: select the method to carry out the action among four options: FTP, Email, HTTP, and SIP Call.

  • HTTP URL: enter the URL if you select the HTTP to carry out the action.

  • Action Delay: set up the delay time when the action is carried out. For example, if you set the action delay time at 5 seconds, then the corresponding actions will be carried out 5 seconds after your press the button.

  • Action Delay Mode: if you select Unconditional Execution, the action will be carried out when the input is triggered. If you select Execute If Input Still Triggered, then the action will be carried out when the input stays triggered. For example, if the door stays open after triggering input, an action such as an email will be sent to notify the receiver.

  • Execute Relay: set up relays to be triggered by the actions.

Configure DTMF for Door Unlock

Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling(DTMF) is a way of sending signals over phone lines by using different voice-frequency bands. Users can use the DTMF function to unlock the door for visitors during a call by either typing the DTMF code on the soft keypad, or tapping the unlock tab with the DTMF code on the screen.

Navigate to the web Intercom > Relay > Open Relay Via DTMF interface.

Parameter Set-up:

  • DTMF Mode: the number of DTMF digits for the door access control(Ranging from 1-4 digits).

  • 1 Digit DTMF: select the code from *0-9 and ,# if the DTMF Option is set as 1 digit.

  • 2~4 Digits DTMF: set the DTMF code according to the DMTP Option setting. For example, you are required to set the 3-digits DTMF code if DTMP Option is set as 3-digits.

Note

Intercom devices involved must be consistent in the DTMF type, otherwise DTMF code cannot be applied.

DTMF White List

In order to secure the door access via DTMF codes, you can set up the DTMF whitelist on the device web Intercom > Relay > Open Relay Via DTMF interface so that only the caller numbers you designated in the door phone can use the DTMF code to gain door access.

Parameter Set-up:

  • Assigned The Authority For: All Numbers allows all numbers for the DTMF door unlock; None denies all numbers for the DTMF door unlock; Only Contacts List allows the contact numbers in your door phone.
