2 System Overview
The Aperio system
The Aperio system is used in the following way:
The user holds an RFID card in front of the lock.
The lock sends card credentials wirelessly to the
Communication Hub and the Communication
Hub (wired through RS-485, Ethernet or Wiegand)
then communicates with an EAC (Electronic
Access Control) system. The EAC system then
makes the access decision. The decision is sent via
the Communication Hub to the lock and access is
granted or denied.
The Aperio Programming Application
The Programming Application is used for the
configuration of a door installation. It is installed
on a laptop. The laptop has an Aperio USB radio
device connected to one of its USB ports. The USB
radio device enables the application to connect
via a Communication Hub to the door lock. The
lock communicates via the Communication Hub
either with the EAC or with the Programming
Application. Read more in the Aperio Online
Programming Application Manual.
Regulatory and security information
Refer to the Programming Application manual for
regulatory and security information.
