E-Plex Advanced ACS User’s Guide

 

Doors 

 

 

From the 

Doors

 menu, you can add, edit, or delete any number of physical doors that have 

an E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700 lock in the software. 

Access Assignment 

 

 

Note:

 The 

Access Assignment

 menu is the most important menu; everything related to 

access control is tied together in this menu. 

From the 

Access Assignment

 menu, you must select a door and assign the door schedules, 

holidays/vacations, and the users who should have access to this door. When you assign the 
access schedules to the door, you must also specify if the door schedule requires PIN 
access, Prox Card access (for E-Plex 5700 only), or dual credential access (for E-Plex 5700 
only) and ensure that these schedules do not overlap. Also, for each user type, you must also 
assign a schedule and, optionally, assign any one or more of the following three privileges: 

 Override 

holidays/vacations 

 Override 

deadbolt 

  First user passage entry 

Finally, you also have the option to enable the passage mode function (by default, it is 
disabled). After this process, the lock configuration data is set up and prepared to be 
HotSynced to the M-Unit, and then uploaded to the door/lock. 

Program 

 

 

The 

Program

 area of the software is selected when the lock configuration data have been 

prepared to be uploaded to a door/lock. If data have been prepared, you can transfer 
(HotSync) the data to the M-Unit, so they can then be used to program the lock(s). 

Audit 

 

 

The 

Audit

 area of the software is selected when new audit data have been received from a 

door/lock via the M-Unit for reporting purposes. The data will then be available to view or print 
as an audit report. Each lock will always hold up to the last 30,000 audit events in its memory. 

Reports 

 

 

From the 

Reports

 menu, you can generate reports from the E-Plex Advanced ACS data. If 

data have also been received from a door/lock, you can select an option to generate a report 
from that data.
