2.Select a door option depending on the number of doors, one (1) or two (2), that will be connected to the Axis product.

3.Enter a descriptive name for each door and click Next. It is recommended to provide the doors with unique descriptive names so that they easily can be identifed by anyone who will administrate the system.

You can also edit the name of the Axis product. The default name includes the serial number for easy identification.

To cancel the hardware configuration, click Cancel. This can be done in any of the hardware configuration pages.

Configure Locks and Door Monitors

2.If the door lock shall lock immediately after the door has been opened, select Cancel access time once door is opened.

3.Specify the door monitor time options or, if no door monitor will be used, the lock time options.

4.Select the options that match how the lock circuits will be connected.

Note

•Most lock, door monitor, and reader options can be changed without resetting and starting a new hardware configuration. Go to Setup > Hardware Reconfiguration .

•You can connect one lock monitor per door controller. So if you use double-lock doors, only one of the locks can have a lock monitor. If two doors are connected to the same door controller, lock monitors cannot be used.

•Motorized locks must be configured as secondary locks.

Door Monitor Options

The following door monitor options are available:

•Door monitor – Selected by default. Each door has its own door monitor that, for example, will signal when the door has been forced open or open too long. Deselect if no door monitor will be used.

-Open circuit = Closed door – Select if the door monitor circuit is normally open. The door monitor gives the door open signal when the circuit is closed. The door monitor gives the door closed signal when the circuit is open.
