Tamper Alarm
The tamper alarm function prevents anyone from removing the device without permission. The device’s AUX IN can be connected to a sensor, detecting illegal movement of the device.
To set it up, go to the Access Control > Auxiliary Input interface.

Apply To: The input that is connected to the detection sensor. The default is AUX IN4. When applying AUX IN to the tamper alarm, its settings will be unavailable.
Key Status: The tamper alarm will not be triggered unless the key status is shifted from Low to High status.
Note
The disarm tab will turn grey when the tamper alarm is cleared.
Disarm Setting
You can set the automatic disarm time and the time for users to disarm manually when alarms are triggered.
Set it up on the Access Control > Auxiliary Input > Disarm Setting interface.
Enabled: The disarm feature is disabled by default.
Reset Time: Define the time(10-240 minutes) to clear the alarm automatically after the alarm is triggered.
Disarm Time: Admin users can use their credentials twice within the time to clear the alarm, like swiping the card twice, or entering the PIN followed by swiping the card.

High Security Mode
High security mode is designed to enhance the security. It employs encryption across various facets, including the communication process, door opening commands, password storage methods, and more.
Disable High Security Mode on the System > Security interface. It is enabled by default.
Important Notes
1. The High Security mode is off by default when you upgrade the device from a version without the mode to one with it. But if you reset the device to its factory settings, the mode is on by default.
2. This mode makes the old version tools incompatible. You need to upgrade them to the following versions or higher to use them.
PC Manager: 1.2.0.0
IP Scanner: 2.2.0.0
Upgrade Tool: 4.1.0.0
SDMC: 6.0.0.34
3. The supported HTTP format for relay triggering varies depending on whether high secure mode is enabled or disabled.
If the mode is on, the device only accepts the new HTTP formats below for door opening.
http://username:password@deviceIP/fcgi/OpenDoor?action=OpenDoor&DoorNum=1
http://deviceIP/fcgi/OpenDoor?action=OpenDoor&DoorNum=1
If the mode is off, the device can use both the new formats above and the old format below:
http://deviceIP/fcgi/do?action=OpenDoor&UserName=username&Password=password&DoorNum=1
4. It is not allowed to import/export configuration files in tgz. format between a device with the high security mode and another one without it. For assistance with file transfer, please contact Akuvox technical support.
