Brivo ACS100 Installation Manual
Pre-Installation Procedures
Before you begin installing the Brivo control panel, perform the following tasks to ensure a safe, speedy, and suc-
cessful installation.
Understand the function of the Brivo ACS100-E control panel.
The ACS100-E is a one door control panel with a single access point. This control panel is considered a
standalone system. The control board has one reader on-board. A second reader is supported for
single door in/out antipassback configurations.
The Brivo ACS100-E uses an on-board Ethernet PoE interface to communicate via any TCP/IP networking
technology that can be connected through a hub, router or switch, including satellite communications. It
is an IP-enabled Access Control System that interacts with the Brivo Onair cloud server via
the Internet application Brivo Onair.
Understand Brivo ACS100 product compatibility.
The ACS100 control panel allows for the attachment of one additional reader directly to the ACS100 control
panel for the purposes of in/out scenarios (anti-passback). As such, the ACS100 is compatible with a
large number of standard OSDP reader models including the following (UL tested for compatibility) reader
models: OSDP reader 921PTPTEK00385. Brivo products are designed to accommodate the latest updates in
OSDP using RS-485 reader formats. The ACS100 control board is compatible with OSDP readers using
RS-485.
A current list of compatible readers and keypads is maintained on Brivo’s website at http://www.brivo.com.
If you have a specific model of reader or keypad that is not listed on the Brivo website, please contact
Technical Support at 1-866-BRIVO-4-U to determine compatibility.
Verify that the client site is ready to support the installation.
1. Check with the IT department to ensure that the ACS100 to be installed is compatible with the
company’s local area network (LAN).
a)
The ACS100 is equipped with a standard RJ-45 socket that accepts a CAT5 cable with an RJ-
45 plug on any 10/100 Ethernet network. Physically connecting the panel is the same
as plugging any computer or other device into the LAN.
b)
Refer to connection instructions on Page 13 or in the Panel Networking Admin Interface
Guide for instructions on connecting to the LAN. The Panel Networking Admin Interface
Guide also contains a complete list of requirements regarding TCP/IP configuration
parameters and information about security considerations.
2.
Download the Brivo Onair Account Quick Start Guide from the Brivo website and provide it to the
Master Administrator. This document provides instructions for registering and configuring the
control panel in the application.
3.
Make sure the account has been created and the control panel is registered through Brivo Onair. If
the control panel has not been registered by the dealer, the installer may either contact Brivo
Technical Support for assistance or simply register the panel directly.
4.
Verify that the Master Administrator and any other employee who will be accessing the system have
Internet access on a computer equipped with a supported Web browser.
