Aperio® AH40 IP Communication Hub
The Aperio® AH40 is a IP Communications (Comm) Hub designed to work with the Aperio® devices and lock
sets. The lock sets and Devices include smart cylinder locks, integrated lock/door sensor combo’s, cabinet
and handle lock/reader combo’s. Please contact your local RSM for more information or the list of lock sets
and devices offered by acre Security
Aperio® Hub Integration
The Aperio® AH40 Ethernet Enabled Communication
Hub functions as a bridge between ASSA-ABLOY/
Aperio® enabled locks and a variety of acre Security
enabled access control systems such as DNA Fusion.
This allows users of systems such as DNA Fusion
operators to control the Aperio and ASSA-ABLOY
(ASSA) locks remotely from the software.
The Mercury LP 1501, 1502, 2500 and 4502
controllers with the latest Firmware Version or
1.30.1.0663 or higher will support the Aperio®
Hub integration. The controllers support Ethernet
communication to up to 32 Subcontrollers and 64
ACMS. The Aperio® Hub communicates directly with
Aperio®-enabled locks via an encrypted 2.46-Hz
wireless link on 16 distinct channels using AES-128
Bit Encryption. Each Aperio® Hub includes mounting
hardware and instruction manual.
When a cardholder presents a card to an ASSA/
Aperio® lock, the credential information is sent
wirelessly to the Aperio® Hub. The hub then routes
the information to the controller, which verifies the
access rights. The resulting decision is communicated
back to the Aperio® Hub, which either grants or
denies access.
The integration process includes two (2) steps:
●
Hardware Setup - Wire the Aperio® Hub using CAT-5e Ethernet Connection and power from either
POE+ enabled switch devices or from a standalone power source.
●
DNA Fusion Integration - After the hardware is connected, add the Aperio® Hub to DNA Fusion
and build doors in sequence from the readers, inputs, and outputs associated with the Aperio®
Hub.
