This guide walks you through setting up Training Kit 009 so you can demonstrate Akuvox’s multi-reader unlock capability to your customers.
Once configured, a user can present a valid credential on any of the reader devices in the kit, and the door controlled by the A08 will unlock every time, regardless of which reader is used.
Overview
In this solution:
A08 works as the main door controller connected to the lock.
A02/A03, A095, or E16 works as the authentication device.
The trigger device sends an HTTP command to the A08 after successful verification.
Trigger Device A02 / A03 / A095 / E16 | → HTTP → | A08 Controller Door Lock Relay | → relay → | Door Lock Electric Strike / Maglock |
Before You Start
Make sure:
All devices are powered on.
All devices are connected to the same local network.
The door lock is correctly connected to the A08 relay output.
Step 1 — Configure A08 as the Main Door Controller
Open a web browser and navigate to the device IP. Log in with the username and password(The default: admin/admin).
Go to Access Control > Relay > 12V Power Output.
Set Power Output mode to Always.
Scroll down to the Open Relay Via HTTP section.
Enable the feature and customize the authentication username and password.
Click Submit.
Disable High Security Mode
For demonstration purposes, disable High Security Mode if HTTP unlock commands are blocked.
Go to System > Security > High Security Mode.
Disable High Security Mode.
Click Submit.
Step 2 — Add User Credentials on the A08
Register the users who are authorised to unlock the door. Their credentials (PIN, RFID card, etc.) will be authenticated by the A08.
Go to Directory > User.
Click Add.
Enter the username and set up the desired access methods, PIN, RF Card, etc.
Ensure that Relay A box is checked in the Access Setting section.
Click Submit.
Step 3 — Configure the Trigger Device(A02/A03/A095/E16)
Configure the Web Relay feature on the trigger device so it sends an HTTP unlock command to the A08 after a successful credential presentation.
Open a web browser and navigate to the device IP. Log in with the username and password(The default: admin/admin).
Go to Access Control > Web Relay.
Set Type to Local Relay+Web Relay.
In Web Relay Action 1, enter the following HTTP command:
http://{A08_IP}/fcgi/do?action=OpenDoor&UserName={username}&Password={password}&DoorNum=1The username and password are what you set on the A08.
Example: http://192.168.1.100/fcgi/do?action=OpenDoor&UserName=admin&Password=123456&DoorNum=1
Click Submit.
Step 4 — Add User Credentials on the Trigger Device
Register users on the trigger device. Each user’s credentials must be linked to Web Relay 1 so the device sends the HTTP command upon successful authentication.
Go to Directory > User.
Click Add.
Enter the username and set up the access methods, PIN, RF Card, etc.
Select Web Relay 1 in the Access Setting section.
Click Submit.
Step 5 — Configure Door Open Timeout Alert on the E16
The E16 can monitor the door sensor input and trigger an alert if the door remains open beyond a configured timeout. This requires the door sensor to be wired to the E16’s input port.
Go to Access Control > Input.
Set Trigger Electrical Level to High.
Set Execute Relay to None.
Enable Alarm Door Opened.
Set the Door Opened Timeout value to 5.
Click Submit.
Step 6 — Configure Wiegand Reader on the A095
The A095 supports Wiegand-protocol card readers connected to its Reader ports. Configure Reader 1 and Reader 2 that are connected to the Akuvox card readers.
Go to Device, Reader.
Set Mode to Wiegand.
Set Wiegand Card Reader Mode to Wiegand-26.
Enable Door 1 in the Wiegand Open Door setting.
Click Submit.
