Article Summary

Integration via Wiegand

The Wiegand feature enables Akuvox door phone to act as a controller or a card reader.

Navigate to the web Intercom > Wiegand interface.

Parameter Set-up:

  • Wiegand Display Mode: select Wiegand Card code format among 8H10D; 6H3D5D(W26); 6H8D; 8HN; 8HR; 6H3D5D-R(W26); 8HR10D; RAW.

  • Wiegand Card Reader Mode: set the Wiegand data transmission format among three options: Wiegand 26, Wiegand 34, and Wiegand 58. The transmission format should be identical between the door phone and the device to be integrated.

  • Wiegand Transfer Mode:

    • Input: when the door phone acts as a controller, users can swipe the RF card on the third-party card reader to open the door.

    • Output: users can only open the door by entering a PIN code or swiping an RF card.

    • Convert To Card No. Output: when users are assigned by multiple door-opening methods, data needs to be converted to the card number that the third-party device can verify.

  • Wiegand Input Data Order: when Normal is selected, the card number is displayed as received. When Reversed is selected, the order of the card number is reversed.

  • Wiegand Output Data Order: determines the sequence of the Wiegand output data. When Normal is selected, the data is displayed as received. When Reversed is selected, the order of the data bits is reversed.

  • Wiegand Output CRC: it is enabled by default for Wiegand data inspection. Disabling it may lead to integration failure with third-party devices.

When the door phone is in Wiegand output mode, you can configure the Wiegand PIN code output format that determines how data are transmitted. The format should be the same as that of the third-party device.

Parameter Set-up:

  • PIN:

    • 8 bits per digit: when users press "1" on the keypad, the binary data will be transmitted in 8 bits "11100001".

    • 4 bits per digit: when users press "1" on the keypad, the binary data will be transmitted in 4 bits "0001".

    • All at once: after users enter the whole PIN code, the data will be transmitted according to the Wiegand card reader mode.

Integration via HTTP API

HTTP API is designed to achieve a network-based integration between the third-party device and the Akuvox device.

Navigate to the web Intercom > HTTP API interface.

Parameter Set-up:

  • Enabled: if the function is disabled, any request to initiate the integration will be denied and be returned HTTP 403 forbidden status.

  • Authorization Mode: select from None, Normal, Allowlist, Basic, Digest and Token for authorization type, which will be explained in the following chart.

  • User Name: enter the user name when Basic and Digest authorization mode is selected. The default is admin.

  • Password: enter the password when Basic and Digest authorization mode is selected. The default is admin.

  • 1st IP-5th IP: enter the IP address of the third party devices when the Allowlist authorization is selected for the integration.

Please refer to the following description for the Authentication mode:

NO.

Authorization Mode

Description

1

None

No authentication is required for HTTP API as it is only used for demo testing.

2

Normal

This mode is used by Akuvox developers only.

3

Allowlist

If this mode is selected, you are only required to fill in the IP address of the third party device for the authentication. The whitelist is suitable for operation in the LAN.

4

Basic

If this mode is selected, you are required to fill in the User name and the password for the authentication. In Authorization field of HTTP request header, use Base64 encode method to encode of username and password.

5

6

Token

This mode is used by Akuvox developers only.

Lift Control Configuration

The door phones can be connected to the Akuvox lift controller for the lift control. Users can summon the lift to go down to the ground floor when they are granted access through various types of access methods on the door phone.

Navigate to the web Intercom > Lift Control interface.

Parameter Set-up:

  • Timeout (Sec): enter the lift controller timeout. For example, if you set the timeout as 30 seconds, users have to press the lift button corresponding to the floor they are going to within 30 seconds, otherwise, the button will be locked again, and users have to go out of the lift and do it all over again.

  • User Name: enter the user name of the lift controller for the authentication.

  • Password: enter the password of the lift controller for the authentication.

  • Floor NO. Parameter: enter the Floor number parameter provided by Akuvox. The default parameter string is “$floor”. You can define your own parameter string if needed.

  • URL To Trigger Specific Floor: enter the Akuvox life control URL for triggering a specific floor.
    The URL is “/cdor.cgi?open=0&door=$floor”, but the string " $floor " at the end must be identical with the parameter string you defined.

ZKT Lift Controller

Navigate to the web Intercom > Lift Control interface and select ZKT.
