Article summary

Unlock by RF Cards

The RF card should be assigned to a particular user for door opening.

When adding a user, you can also customize settings such as defining the door access schedule to determine when the code is valid and specifying which relay to open.

To add a user, go to Intercom > User interface and click Add.

  • User ID: The unique identification number assigned to the user.

  • Name: The name of this user.

  • Role: Define the user as a General User or an Administrator. The Admin card can be used to add a user card. Please refer to Configure Admin Cards and User Cards for detailed configuration.

  • Code: The card number that the card reader reads.

Note:

  • Each user can have a maximum of 5 cards added.

  • The device allows to add 5,000 users.

  • RF cards operating at 125 KHz and 13.56 MHz frequencies are compatible with the door phone for access.

You can enable or disable the use of Admin Card on the Intercom > Card Setting > Admin Card interface.

You can enable or disable the IC/ID card function on the Intercom > Card Setting > Card Type Support interface.

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.

To set it up, go to the Intercom > Card Setting > RFID interface.

  • IC/ID Card Display Mode: Set the card number format from the provided options. The default format in the device is 8HN.

  • ID Card Order: Select Normal or Reversed ID card number reading order.

  • ID Card Reading Bytes: Select the number of bytes read from the ID card.

Access Settings

After user information and RF card code are entered, you can scroll down to the Access Setting and configure RF card access control.

  • Relay: The relay to be unlocked using the door-opening methods should be assigned to the user.

  • Web Relay: Specify the ID of web relay action commands that you’ve configured on the Web Relay interface. A default value of 0 indicates that the web relay will not be triggered.

  • Floor No.: Specify the floor(s) that are accessible to the user via the elevator.

  • Schedule: Grant the user access to open designated doors during preset periods by relocating the desired schedule(s) from the left box to the right one. Besides custom schedules, there are 2 default options:

    • Always: Allows door opening without limitations on door open counts during the valid period.

    • Never: Prohibits door opening.

Import/Export User Data

After adding users, you can export the user data and import it to another intercom device for quick management.

On the Intercom > User interface, scroll to the Import/Export User section. If the file is encrypted, enter the password in the AES Key For Import box.

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.

Set it up on the Intercom > Card Setting > Mifare Card Encryption interface.

  • Type: There are three options, None, Classic, and Plus.

  • Classic:

    • Sector/Block:  Specify the location where encrypted card data is stored. A Mifare card  has 16 sectors (numbered 0 to 15), and each sector has 4 blocks  (numbered 0 to 3).

    • Block Key: Set a password to access the data stored in the predefined sector/block.

  • Plus: There are three block choices. The device can read the encrypted data in SL1 and SL3.

    • Block: The block number where the encrypted data is located.

    • SL3: The key number within 32 bits.

NFC Card

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.

Enable the NFC function on the Intercom > Card Setting > Contactless Smart Card interface.

Note

  • The NFC feature is not available on iPhones.

  • Please refer to Open the Door via NFC for detailed configuration.

Actions Triggered by Swiping Cards

You can set up the actions triggered by swiping cards to open doors on the Intercom > Card Setting > Card Event interface.

  • Action To Execute:

    • FTP: Send a screenshot to the preconfigured FTP server.

    • Email: Send a screenshot to the preconfigured Email address.

    • HTTP: When triggered, the HTTP message can be captured and displayed in the corresponding packets. To utilize this feature, enable the HTTP server and enter the message content in the designated box below.

  • HTTP URL: Enter the HTTP message if selecting HTTP as the action to execute. The format is http://HTTP server’s IP/Message content.

Unlock by DTMF Code

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.

To configure DTMF codes, go to Intercom > Relay interface.

  • DTMF Mode: Set the number of digits for the DTMF code.

  • 1 Digit DTMF: Define the 1-digit DTMF code within the range(0-9 and *,#) when the DTMF Mode is set to 1-digit.

  • 2-4 Digit DTMF: Set the DTMF code based on the number of digits selected in the DTMF Mode.

Note

To open the door with DTMF, the intercom devices that send and receive the unlock command must use the same mode and code. Otherwise, the DTMF unlock may fail. See here for the detailed DTMF configuration steps.

DTMF Data Transmission

In order to achieve door access via DTMF code or some other applications, you are required to properly configure DTMF in order to establish a DTMF-based data transmission between the door phone and other intercom devices for third-party integration.

Set it up on the Account > Advanced > DTMF interface.

  • Type: Select from the following options: Inband, RFC2833, Info, Info+Inband, Info+RFC2833 based on the specific DTMF transmission type of the third party device to be matched with as the party for receiving signal data.

  • How to Notify DTMF: Select Disabled, DTMF, DTMF-Relay, or Telephone-Event according to the specific type adopted by the third-party device. You are required to set it up only when the third-party device to be matched with adopts Info mode.

  • Payload: Set the payload according to the specific data transmission payload agreed on between the sender and receiver during the data transmission.

DTMF White List

To secure 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.

  • Assigned The Authority For: Specify the contacts authorized to open doors via DTMF:

    • None: No numbers can open doors using DTMF.

    • Only Contacts List: Doors can be opened by numbers added to the door phone's contact list and pressing the push button.

    • All Numbers: Any numbers can unlock using DTMF.

Unlock by HTTP Commands

The device supports remote door unlocking via an HTTP command. Simply enable this feature and input the HTTP command (URL) for the device. This will trigger the relay and open the door, even if the users are away from the device.

Set it up on the Intercom > Relay > Open Relay Via HTTP interface.

  • Session Check: Enable to enhance data transmission security.

  • Username: Set a username for authentication in HTTP command URLs.

  • Password: Set a password for authentication in HTTP command URLs.

Tip

Here is an HTTP command URL example for relay triggering.

Note

The HTTP format for relay triggering varies depending on whether the door phone's high secure mode is enabled. Please refer to this how-to guide Opening the Door via HTTP Command for more information.

Unlock by Exit Button

When users need to open the door from inside by pressing the Exit button, you need to set up the Input terminal that matches the Exit button to activate the relay for the door access.

To set it up, go to the Intercom > Input interface.
