Atlas Bio Series Access Control Panels Installation Guide
Copyright©2020 ZKTeco USA. All rights reserved.
1. Understanding the Atlas Series Network
All Atlas Series systems have a single “Primary” controller. Many “Secondary” controllers may be added to support
additional doors. All secondary controllers maintain a connection to the primary, and the primary provides all
data and configuration, the secondaries need to operate.
The primary controller has a
Web Management Application
you can log into from a web browser. Through this
application you can configure the entire system.
Important:
The primary controller must support biometrics if any biometric controller is used in the system.
Requirements
1.
Obtain an available static IP address and configuration from the network administrator.
2.
(Optional) Obtain a signed HTTPS certificate. This provides some additional security and avoids web browser
warning messages. The supported certificate formats are PEM or PFX. Check
for
more details.
3.
Make sure whether using Network Time Protocol(NTP) to automatically update the controller's clock over
the Internet is possible and acceptable. Also, make sure whether non-standard time servers are used (such
as Corporate time servers). With a typical small network, it is safe to assume NTP will work with default Atlas
Series settings.
Help
This guide provides you online help for the detailed operation of the controller. The help is available once you
have connected the primary controller and logged in to the Web Management Application. Open the help
guide by selecting “
Help
” from the menu in the upper right corner.
Procedure
1.
Understand how an Atlas Series system networks together by reading the brief section under “
”.
2.
Connect a computer directly to a controller and run the initial configuration program. This step must be
completed before the controller operates on the network.
3.
Connect the controller to the local network.
4.
Log in to the Web management application and complete the basic configuration.
5.
Add a user and test door access.
6.
Add any secondary controllers as required.
