1. ACS
– Access Control Software
2. Optional Mercury LP4502 ACS Interface Board
The Mercury LP4502 Access Control Panel Interface Board can
communicate with up to 32 Wi-Q Gateways with up to 128
Wi-Q Controllers. This interface board is used for third-party
integration into Access Control Software.
3. WQXM-PG Gateway
The Gateway is a wireless device connected to the host com-
puter through a secure IP address, similar to the way the
computer is connected to the Internet. It transfers data signals
from Wireless Controllers to and from the host computer. The
Gateway recognizes all Wireless Controllers within its antenna
range. One Gateway can control as many as 64 Wireless Con-
trollers in a system.
4. Wireless Door Controller
The Wireless Controller is equipped with Wi-Q Technology that
controls user access at the door. The basic configuration is
battery operated, with either keypad or card reading capability
and an internal antenna that communicates with the Gateway.
The Wireless Controller grants user requests according to how
they are configured in the Access Control Software.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The information in this guide is presented in a linear manner;
however, tasks to install hardware and configure the system for
the first time do not necessarily progress in a linear manner. There
is a “Set Up Checklist” in chapter 2 with step-by-step instructions
to walk through the initial setup and configuration tasks in a logi-
cal sequence.
