11. Status LEDs:
Power-up:
All LED's
OFF
.
Initialization:
LED's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are sequenced during initialization. LED's 1, 3, and 4 are turned ON for
approximately 1.5 seconds after the hardware initialization has completed, then the application code is
initialized. The amount of time the application takes to initialize depends on the size of the database,
about 3 seconds without a card database. Each 10,000 cards will add about 3 seconds to the
application initialization. When LED's 1, 2, 3 and 4 flash at the same time, data is being read from or
written to flash memory, do not cycle power when in this state.
If the sequence stops or repeats, perform the
Bulk Erase Configuration Memory procedure in
section 4.
If clearing the memory does not correct the initialization problem, contact technical support.
Running:
After initialization is complete, the LEDs have the following meanings: At power up, LEDs 2 through 7
are turned ON then OFF in sequence.

Readers (combined):
Clock/Data or D1/D0 Mode = Flashes when Data is Received, Either Input.
RS-485 Mode = Flashes when Transmitting Data
F/2F Mode = Flashes when Data/Acknowledgment is Received
4
Input IN1 Status: OFF = Inactive, ON = Active, Flash = Trouble See Note 1
5
Input IN2 Status: OFF = Inactive, ON = Active, Flash = Trouble See Note 1
6
Cabinet Tamper
7
Reserved for Future Use
YEL
Ethernet Speed: OFF = 10 Mb/S, ON = 100 Mb/S
GRN OFF = No Link, ON = Good Link, Flashing = Ethernet Activity
Note 1: If this input is defined, every three seconds the LED is pulsed to its opposite state for 0.1
seconds, otherwise, the LED is off.
12. IT Security
When installing the EP1501, it is important to ensure that it done in a secure manner.
Upon installation, the user accounts to the web configuration page should be created with secure
passwords, and that all DIP switches are in the off position for the normal operating mode. The EP1501
is shipped from the factory with a default login account, which is enabled when DIP 1 is moved from OFF
to ON. The default login user name and password will be available for five minutes once enabled.
Therefore, it is important that at least one user account is defined, and the DIP switches are set to OFF
before the EP1501 is commissioned. It is also highly recommended not to configure the EP1501 with an
IP address that is accessible from the public Internet.
To further enhance network security, options are available to disable SNMP, Zeroconf discovery, as well
as the web configuration module itself. Additionally, data encryption can also be enabled over the host
communication port.
