Programming
Readers can be programmed for use in ‘unsecured’ or ‘secured’ mode (see
16—Security mode
on page 14 for
details).
There are two main methods that can be used to program (configure) readers:
•
Using an LCD RAS on the system LAN (or on the door/lift controller sub-LAN) and polling the reader. See
Method
A — Using a RAS
below.
•
Using a reader configuration card. See
Method B — Using a reader configuration card
on page 10.
Method A — Using a RAS
This method is not suitable for the initial programming of readers for use in secured mode. Use only
Method B —
Using a reader configuration card
on page 10 for secured mode.
In order to program a reader via an LCD RAS, you must first be able to communicate with the reader. This is
accomplished by polling the reader from the panel, or the door/lift controller, as applicable. You must have an LCD
RAS connected to the system LAN (or on the door/lift controller sub-LAN).
•
When connected to the system LAN, polling is enabled via Installer menu 3-RAS Database.
•
When connected to a door/lift controller sub-LAN, you must first enable polling for the address of the controller
via Installer advanced menu 28 – To Remote Devices, option 1 (DGP). The Door/Lift Controller Options menu is
used to enable polling at the RAS address.
Refer to the specific control panel or door/lift controller programming manuals for details about accessing the RAS
menu and enabling polling.
In both cases, the overall process is:
1
Poll the reader at address 16.
2
Use an LCD RAS to program the required address (except for a reader that’s supposed to be at address 16).
You can also change other reader programming from the factory defaults at this time. Refer to
Reader
programming
on page 12 for details about the programming options that apply to the TS0870x-series Smart
Card Readers.
3
When finished programming the reader, exit the RAS menu to apply the new programming.
4
Poll the reader at the required address.
5
When finished adding readers, de-poll address 16 (if not needed for a reader).
