Programming the Onboard Reader
The onboard reader is programmed in exactly the same way as any other reader module is. It can be thought
of as if it were a normal Reader Expander module on a separate circuit board. By default the onboard reader
is disabled. To enable it, configure the address at which you want it to register using the Synergis user
interface. Note that any physical Reader Expander module that is connected with the same address will be
treated as a duplicate and will fail to register so care should be taken to ensure the address is unique.
The onboard reader uses inputs 1 and 2 as its door contact and REX respectively. If either of these inputs is
not configured for use with the onboard reader, it may be used as general purpose input. If the onboard reader
is enabled and you wish to use either of these as general inputs, you will need to disable the associated
function input in the Reader Expander programming section of the Synergis user interface
The default settings are shown in the following table:
Input
Access Control Function
Default Setting
Input 1
Door Contact, Port 1

Input 2
REX Input, Port 1
REX Input, Port 1
The controller's onboard reader port supports an RS-485 reader interface allowing Genetec 485 readers to be
configured. The option is available to select the onboard reader's port type to Genetec 485 from the Reader
Expander menu.
