Amano AXP-100 Operations Manual 1-1
Section 1: Overview
Scope Of This Manual
This manual contains all the information necessary to correctly install and
configure the Amano Series 100 Application Software. In addition, it
describes how to use the software and provides insight into the effects of the
various options and how to select them.
Important Note:
The initial setting up of the AXP-100 System with the computer software
must be carried out with the unit on the desk within easy reach of the PC
before the installation has been done. This is to enable Tags to be presented
to the unit during the process of adding the Tags to the system.
Note to All Users:
Because this system may be used by persons with little previous PC
experience, care has been taken to explain concepts and terms at a basic
level. Experienced users will not need this information, and should ignore it.
Introduction
The AXP Series 100 is a compact high-security access control system using
passive transponder technology, intended for multiple users through a single
door.
Instead of the normal key, the door can only be opened from the outside
when a valid Tag is presented to the unit. Advanced security features
prevent the latch being operated from the outside even if the wiring is
tampered with, and even if the outside unit is substituted with another unit.
The advantage of using a Tag is that if a Tag is lost, it can be voided from
the system, and there is no need to change door locks.
For added security, the system can be programmed so that a 4-digit personal
identification number [PIN] is also required before access is allowed.
Three tag levels are provided:
Level Constraints
User May enter during specified time periods.
Supervisor Can enter at all times.
Administrator As for Supervisor but is also able to program the system.
The system comprises three major components: Door Entry Unit (DEU),
Door Control Unit (DCU), and PC Software.
