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 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.
