Akuvox Lift Control

The device 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 device.

Click here to watch a demonstration video of configuring the lift control feature.

To set up the lift control, navigate to the web Intercom > Lift Control interface. Select Akuvox in the Lift Control List.

  • Floor Starts From: Set the floor from which the floor count starts. For example, if you select -3, then the 3rd floor in the basement will be considered as the first floor, matched with relay#1 (first floor).

  • Ground Floor: If there are ground floors between the -1 and 1 floors, configure this option.

  • Server 1 IP(Unlock): The IP address of the lift controller that unlocks the elevator button(s). It supports up to 10 server addresses separated by ";".

  • Server 2 IP(Execute): The IP address of the lift controller that sends the lift control commands.

  • User Name: The username of the lift controller for the authentication.

  • URL To Trigger Specific Floor: Enter the Akuvox lift 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 to the parameter string you defined.

  • URL To Trigger All Floors: Enter the Akuvox URL for triggering all floors.

  • URL To Close All Floors: Enter the Akuvox URL used for closing all floors, meaning all the buttons that are triggered for the corresponding floors will become invalid.
