This Installation Guide details the initial setup and steps to get the AX200 software operational.  
For further information and additional features please refer to the AX200 software manual.  
Complete software installation and TCP/IP configuration must be performed whilst logged into  
Windows with full Windows Administration rights.  
AX200 Software Setup  
1. Install the AX200 software. Insert the CD, if auto run is disabled then click Start and  
select Run. Enter d:\setup.exe in the text box and click OK. (Note substitute the CD-ROM  
drive letter in place of d) Follow the on screen instructions to complete the installation.

the AX200’s are connected to  
the network but powered off.  
3. Ensure that the PC has a  
fixed IP address.  
4. Start the AX200 software and  
enter the user name and  
password to login. The  
default user name is “1” and  
the default password is “1”.  
Allow the software to  
initialise.

the Server IP address will  
match for the first 3 numbers  
(Segment address) and the  
last number will be unique to  
the AX200.  
10. Enter a name for the AX200 and an IP address for the device. To ensure that this IP  
address is not already assigned click on the ? next to the device IP address. Do not use  
an IP address that is already assigned as this will cause the system not to operate  
correctly. Enter the subnet mask and if advised by the network administration manager,  
enter the gateway IP address for this device.  
11. Click on the download button  
and confirm by clicking yes.  
After approximately 5

IP Address  
An IP address is a unique identifier for each controller, PC or other Ethernet device.  
The IP address range is fro 0 to 255, where 0 is null, 1 to 254 are valid numbers and 255 is a  
broadcast number. (Example – 10.1.1.25) Note – Consult with the Network Administrator before  
using any IP address to avoid duplicate numbers  
Subnet Mask  
This is the mask or range of address that the device is allowed to talk to, typically the broadcast  
number is used (Example 255.255.255.0 in this example permission is granted to talk to all  
devices on the network)  
LAN  
Local Area Network refers to structured Ethernet cabling within a local area such as a single  
building.  
WAN  
Wide Area Network, refers to a group of LAN’s connected together such as a group of buildings.  
VPN  
Virtual Private Network, refers to a separate IP numbering system applied on WAN’s that allows  
different equipment in various locations to communicate as a LAN  
Gateway  
The Gateway is the device used to channel IP traffic between LAN’s over a WAN.  
IP Port number  
The IP port number is the number assigned for the communications over TCP to that specific IP  
address. The AX200 uses Port numbers 4848 for the controller and 1818 for the AX200 software.  
Firewall  
A firewall may comprise of a physical device or software on a PC and it is designed to stop  
malicious attacks by computer hackers or virus. Note Firewalls may also stop communication  
between the AX200 and the software unless the specified IP port numbers are listed in both the  
TCP and UDP protocol safe list on the firewall.  
LAN Configuration  
When working on a local area network (LAN) all devices that are configured to operate with fixed  
IP address such as the AX200 controller, will require the same segment address. So if the Server  
(PC) IP address is 10.1.1.15 then the AX200 will require an IP address with the same segment  
such as 10.1.1.52. When building a private network (if there is not already one there) it is

Installation & User Guide  
recommended that the segment address is 10.1.1.x Use the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and  
the gateway IP address should be 0.0.0.0  
WAN Configuration  
When working on a wide area network (WAN) all devices that are configured to operate with fixed  
IP address such as the AX200 controller, will probably have a different segment address. So if  
the Server (PC) IP address is 10.1.1.15 then the AX200 will require an IP address with the  
appropriate segment such as 10.1.2.52. Use the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and the gateway  
IP address must be configured (Please consult the Network Administrator for all IP Settings)  
VPN Configuration  
Generally configure Virtual Private networks as per the LAN Configuration setup. (Please consult  
the Network Administrator for all IP Settings)

The AX200 software is where all the programming data and cardholder information is entered.  
It consists of the following:  
Cardholder  
Access Point  
System Settings  
Format & Statistics  
Security  
Reports  
Environment  
The PC is where all the system configuration and data management is stored. The optional data  
transfer unit (DTU) enables the data that has been entered at the PC to be downloaded to the  
controller without the need of a physical PC connection.  
The AX200 system supports a wide variety of card technologies, including proximity, magnetic  
stripe (AX Series), Wiegand and Wiegand compatible card types.  
Operating Systems  
The AX series supports a wide range of operating systems and can run on Windows NT  
Workstation, NT Server, 2000 Professional and Advanced, ME, XP and Vista without the need for  
different CD’s or drivers. A number of checks are implemented within the software to ensure that  
the correct files for the operating system are present. The installation process automatically  
detects the operating system and installs the correct files and drivers.  
If you are using windows Vista please note:  
The recommended screen resolution for running the AX200 software  
on Windows Vista is 1024¯768.  
If you receive a message at the start-up saying that the “User does not  
have write access to the database”, right click on the AX200 icon and  
select “Run as Administrator”. After doing so, this icon  
in front of the AX200 icon.  
might appear

The AX software has a built-in backup utility. Backups can be done automatically at preset times  
and days, or manually with network backup support. Backups from older software versions are  
automatically converted avoiding the need for multiple steps to restore the software.  
A backup can be restored in one single step. Automatic backups are numbered using the date  
and time the backup took place. If you wish to delete older backups, highlight the appropriate file  
by clicking on it and press delete, confirmation of this action is requested. It is useful to create a  
complete system backup as soon as all the system settings have been entered. Create a backup  
as normal, go to restore, highlight the newly created file and right click with the mouse and select  
rename – rename the file e.g. Master settings. This backup will allow you to restore the system  
back to its original programmed settings, if required. To restore an existing database go to the  
File menu • Database Restore.  
When exiting the software, if any data has changed, the application will automatically perform the  
database backup. There is no need to close the program or cardholder screen for the automatic  
backup to execute. Partial backups can also be selected for database or history files only.

Backup time settings window can be reached through the File menu. The default day and time for  
automatic backup is displayed on the left side of the window. By default, the application will take a  
backup of your database at 23:59:00 every night.  
Settings on the right hand side give you more options on how to manage your backup files.  
Normally the backup process saves both, the Main Database and Log & Events; however you  
can exclude either of them from the backup process simply by removing the tick in the check box.  
You can also set the application to automatically delete the backup files after a specific number of  
days or once they exceed a certain size (in MB).  
Once the Zip Compression is enabled, the software will automatically compress the backup file  
into a zip file. Since the .mdb file cannot get through the fire wall, zip compression is very helpful  
when you wish to email the backup settings.

Email settings could be sent to a specific group of people via Email. You need to specify the time  
period during which you would like the email to be sent out (Time Zone), the information you want  
to include (Attachments) and the name of the recipients (Groups).  
Enter the name and email address of the sender on the left. If you’re using a local server enter  
the name of your local SNMP server for email.  
Group settings on the right include the name and email address of the people who will receive the  
email. These settings are divided into to blocks. The people on the top section will only receive  
the email if the backup has taken place during a green time zone and the people in the bottom  
section will receive the email if the database has been backed up during a blue time zone  
(exception monitoring).  
A number of optional settings are also included in this screen. You can set priorities for your  
emails and choose the maximum email messages sent in a minute. There are also a number of  
different options for email format. MIME is the default.  
MIME (default): Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) is an Internet Standard that  
extends the format of e-mail to support text in character sets other than US-ASCII, non-text  
attachments, multi-part message bodies, and header information in non-ASCII character sets  
UU Encode: UUencoding is a form of binary to text encoding that originated in the Unix program  
uuencode, for encoding binary data for transmission over the UUCP mail system. The name  
"UUencoding" is derived from "Unix-to-Unix encoding".  
Standard Query Language (SQL)  
The database structure is based on Microsoft SQL. This ensures stability and a high data  
throughput with easy interfacing to other applications. The database handles up to 65,525  
cardholder records with over 60 fields per cardholder. Card numbering is up to 10 digits allowing  
support for a wide variety of formats e.g. existing cards or multi-purpose cards (vending machines  
etc.)

Database Integrity Check  
A mains failure or system crash with an open database normally requires running a separate  
application to repair the data. All data in the AX200 database is automatically checked on start up  
and repaired if necessary.  
At the start-up, the software automatically checks the database version. If the database is too old  
and not supported by the new version of software the following transaction will appear on the  
screen asking you to check the version of the database.  
You can view the version of your database in the Performance Analyzer screen; under Tools •  
Enable Optional Software. This problem usually occurs when you manually copy a new database  
over the old database in the AX200 folder. That’s why we strongly recommend that you use  
the restore function only!  
Communication between the AX200 Software and Controller  
A benefit of the AX200 software is its plug and play ability to detect new devices when they are  
installed. The New Device Wizard will automatically detect the controller and its unique device  
ID. Follow the on-screen prompt by selecting Add.  
The following screen will ask whether you are using PIN codes only, a card reader and a PIN  
code or a card reader only. Please select the appropriate radio button for your installation,  
followed by Next.

Provide a name for the access point i.e. the location and select OK.  
Plug & Play Devices  
The PC communication port is automatically setup and new devices connected will be  
automatically detected and can be added (or replaced) using the new device wizard, which allows  
setting up a new controller in seconds. When enabled under system settings, Plug & Play is  
active at all times and does not require a restart of the application or computer. This allows  
addition of new controllers on the fly. AX readers are also entirely Plug & Play being automatically  
identified with the relevant information displayed under access points. COM ports 1 to 16 and  
TCP/IP (TCP/IP AX200 only) addresses can also be set up manually if required. Error correction,  
speed, bit length, parity etc are all automatically set up for the optimum performance of the  
system. Once the controllers are in the system, the new device wizard also allows auto-replace.  
This feature allows replacement of controller data with the press of a single button.  
All the Plug & Play devices have a unique identity number so no jumpers or switches have to be  
set on either controllers or readers.

four times consecutively at the reader. To change back to the normal  
mode use a card with the HSM feature four times consecutively.

Door Unlock Mode  
This feature can be activated from the PC  
or cards with the “set unlock” feature  
enabled. Using a card with this feature  
twice consecutively at the reader will  
permanently unlock the door. To return to  
the normal mode, use the card again  
twice consecutively. Typical applications  
include reception doors during normal  
office hours or for goods inward  
deliveries.  
Date and Time  
The date and time formats are obtained  
by default from the operating system and  
therefore no user intervention is required.  
The 12 hour time format is NOT  
supported by this application. If you are  
using the 12h time format you need to go  
to Control Panel • Regional and  
Language Options • Regional Options •  
Customize… • Time and choose the 24  
hour (H) time format. You also need to  
make sure that your PC is set to UK time format which is (dd/MM/yyyy).  
You can change the date settings in the same window under the Date tab.  
On & Offline Operation  
The AX software enables the use of on and offline controllers from within the same software  
simultaneously. The AX100 controller can also be updated using a portable data transfer unit  
(DTU). This allows the use of remote doors or doors not requiring online information to be used  
at the same time as doors with real-time online information. This reduces costs substantially with  
full control from a single software package.

Imprint Number  
If the number on the card is not the ‘true’ number in the card, then this printed number can be  
entered here. Alternatively this field can be used for other data e.g. membership numbers etc.  
Employment  
To indicate the type of cardholder, fields can be selected from the drop-down box or entered  
manually. When entered manually it will ask for confirmation when you save the record and can  
be selected the next time from the drop-down box.  
Department  
Select a department from the pop-up window, departments can be added or deleted as required.  
Access Group  
An access group is a collection of doors. When a group is selected, the cardholder will have  
access to the doors assigned in the access group. Two groups are fixed and cannot be deleted –  
All and None. The group All automatically includes all the doors including those added by the  
device wizard. If the group None is selected, the cardholder will not have access to any of the  
doors.  
Card Type  
The card type is by default greyed out. If under System Settings, General Settings the Multiple  
Card Format is enabled, then this field can be used if you require cards from other system to work  
as well.  
A card type is the name given to the card format and facility code combined. It is recommended  
that you use the card format wizard if you wish to add new card types.  
Card Status  
This field overrides all settings, if the card is set to: Destroyed, Inactive, Lost, Stolen or  
Suspended. The card will not have access unless set to Active.  
It is recommended that you use this field if a card is for instance stolen instead of deleting the  
whole cardholder record. By using this method, you can always see at a later stage why the card  
was inactive.  
Pin Code

Time Zone  
An important part of the AX200 software; this feature allows you to determine exactly when a card  
holder is allowed to have access through a particular door. To open the time zone window click  
on the  
icon.  
This page contains a time table which includes eight columns representing seven days of the

downloaded onto the controller. Every day of the week has been divided into the periods of 15  
minutes. Red zone is when the card holder will not gain access through the door. If the  
cardholder presents his/her card during this period the message on the screen will say that the  
time zone is not active and therefore access will be denied. To grant access to a cardholder  
during a specific period of time, click on the start time, hold the left click down and drag the  
mouse to the end time. The selected period will be displayed in green. Alternatively you can give  
exception access to the cardholder by selecting the “Exception Monitoring” and follow the same  
procedure. In this case the selected area is displayed in blue. So when the cardholder presents  
his/her card to the reader the transaction on the main screen will be of “Access granted –  
Exception” type.  
Access granted – Exception <Cardholder’s Name> <Card No.> <Door’s Name>  
Once you’ve finished programming your time zone press Save. Use the  
button to scroll  
through the existing time zones. The first 9 records including No Access, Always Access, Always  
Exception and TZ1 • TZ6 are the defaults and included in the blank database.  
Access on holidays could be programmed separately. To change the holiday settings press “Edit  
Holiday”. Mark the holidays in the calendar simply by clicking on them. Once you’ve highlighted a  
date, it is added to the selected holidays list on the right. If you need to take a day off the list click  
on it once more. Some holidays are not fixed and move every year. Tick the check box next to the  
regular holidays (like Christmas) so you won’t have to program them again next year. You can  
enter a brief description for each holiday by pressing the “Edit Description” button. Click save and  
close the screen when you’re finished.

Every device has a unique “Access Identity” and is given a distinctive “Access Point ID” when  
connected to the PC. Each controller has a serial number and this is used to communicate with  
the PC. If the identity has been entered manually during a system setup or where controllers are  
connected using a DTU, then the replace function should be used when the controllers are  
operational.  
Access Point Name  
Access Point Name is specified by the user and could be changed at any time. The extended

Every reader can be programmed as Normal, In Reader and Out Reader.  
If a reader is set to operate as an In Reader, the card number and the person’s name would  
appear on the “who’s in list” when the card is presented to it.  
If a reader is programmed to be an Out Reader, the card number and the person’s name would  
be removed from the “who’s in list” and appear on the “who’s out list” when the card is presented  
to the reader.  
If a reader is set on Normal mode, access will be granted to the person holding a valid card.  
However it doesn’t affect the who’s in/out list. In other words it doesn’t influence the count of the  
people inside the building.  
Time settings button becomes active by ticking the Door schedule box and clicking on the save  
button.  
You can schedule a door to be open during a specific period of time by clicking on the “Time

Note: Please note that the door status selected in the main screen overrides the door schedule.  
This means that once the door has been unlocked by using the controller buttons on the main  
screen, it will remain open even thought it has been scheduled to be closed.  
CCTV: opens the CCTV configuration window. You will then have to either enter the IP address  
of the PC running the I-Catcher software or enter address of the web page containing the

Door Release Time  
Standard door release time is the amount of time it takes for the door to be locked again, after  
being opened by a valid card. (Range: 1•255s)  
If the “Extended door open time” option has been activated in the mode settings of a card; then  
the door will remain open for the amount of time entered in the Extended field. (Range: 1•255s).  
It allows individual cardholders to have the door open for a longer period of time e.g. disabled or  
elderly people.  
Request to Exit This time can be individually set and is often set longer when the REX is used at  
the reception allowing visitors a slightly longer entry time. When the REX Button is used, the  
reader fitted outside can be set to sound twice to indicate the door has been released for visitors.  
This feature is particularly useful when used with magnet locks since their operation is totally  
silent.  
Start-up Mode Settings  
The start-up mode settings enable you to determine how the door operates in case of total power  
failure, including exhaustion of the battery back-up. All the data is stored permanently in the  
controller for up to 100 years without the need for any power and upon power-up will continue to  
operate without the need for a database download.  
High security mode  
Normal mode  
Only cardholders with the high security mode  
enabled will have access.  
Returns to normal mode from whatever the  
status was prior to power failure.  
Door unlocked  
The door unlocks permanently until a valid card  
with the unlock feature is used twice, or the  
door is changed to normal mode from the PC.  
This will return to the status the door was set to  
prior to power failure.

Door contact settings are enabled by ticking the Door Contact box.  
Door Forced Alarm: generates an alarm immediately after the door has been opened by using  
force. The alarm is cleared automatically as soon as the door has been closed. However the  
sounder remains active until you select the appropriate reader from the menu on the right hand  
side of the main screen and press “Clear Alarm”, or present a valid card.  
Relay Reset: De-activates the relay timer instantly when the door is opened. By choosing this  
option only one person gets access after presenting a valid card and the possibility of tailgating is  
reduced.  
Reader off When Open: the reader will be disabled (not the REX) if the door contact is open.  
This feature can be used for alarm systems e.g. the alarm is on so the door cannot be opened,  
Parking application - there is no car on the presence loop, so the barrier cannot be activated by a  
pedestrian or for air locks, one of the two doors is open so the second remains closed.  
Door Held Open Alarm: the length of time after the relay expires the door is allowed to be open  
before an alarm is generated.  
Local door held open: This is a local alarm activating the sounder in the reader but does not  
send an alarm to the PC (if online).This feature is normally used in conjunction with door held  
open alarm and warns people local to the door to close the door or a full alarm will be raised.  
This feature is particularly useful with online systems where security guards are called out a  
number of times whilst people are talking in the doorway.  
PIN Settings  
Card Only: PIN pad is deactivated when the Card Only mode is selected. Access is granted only  
when a valid card is presented.  
PIN Only: A Personal Identification Number (PIN) only is required to open the door. This can be  
an individual number per user or a number for a group of users. The system supports 2,000 PIN  
only or 2,000 card and PIN users. In this mode, if different PIN lengths are used per person, less  
than the maximum PIN length set under “general settings” the number requires # to complete the  
entry. If the maximum length is set to four then only four digits have to be entered.  
Card + PIN: First a valid card must be presented to the reader followed by the individual PIN of  
the cardholder. In this mode the controller will know from the card what the PIN length will be and  
no # will be required

card + PIN when a High Security card is used four times at the reader. This is normally used at  
the end of the day to increase security after normal office hours.

Access Groups  
Access groups give you the possibility to gain access through more than one door by using a  
single card. Once the access group is assigned to a card (in the card holder section) you can  
open all the doors listed in the access group.  
The menu on the right hand side of the screen contains all the access groups created in the  
software. All & None are the defaults. The first group in the list is automatically highlighted when  
you open the Access groups tab.  
Access group tab contains two separate lists: Controller(s) available & Selected Controller(s)  
in Group. The first list contains all the access points that have not yet been assigned to the  
highlighted access group. Therefore if group “All” was highlighted the “Controller(s) available” list  
would be blank. The access group ‘All’ gives access automatically to all AX200 controllers  
including new ones added at a later date and cannot be deleted or altered.  
The Fixed sign in the Group Configuration section means you cannot change any information  
displayed on the screen.

configuration the software will automatically download the IP address of the new PC onto  
all the devices connected to the local area network. In other words all the devices on the  
network are now configured to communicate with the new server (current PC).  
If however the IP address of the server is changed while the DHCP is not running; you will have 2  
options available: 1) you can download the current server IP onto all the devices connected to  
LAN, by pressing Global change device server IP; or 2) you can change the current IP address  
of the PC, back to the last recorded IP address in the database, by pressing Set PC IP address

Fire alarm  
This section gives you the ability to unlock all the  
doors in your building simultaneously by using only  
one controller. The way it works is that, if the fire alarm  
is triggered on the current controller all the access  
points listed in the doors selected list will be opened at  
once. To enable the settings tick the Enable Fire  
Alarm box.  
Doors available list contains all the access point  
configured on your PC. By default the Doors selected  
list contains only the reader(s) that are connected to  
the current controller and you cannot remove them.  
You can add more doors to your list by double clicking  
on them or using the buttons bellow the list. Press the  
download button once you’re finished.  
Test Connection  
Test communication checks the communication  
between the PC and the device through transmitting  
messages from one to the other. The number of these  
messages is given in the Packets field.  
When you press the Test Connection button the PC  
will start sending 500 (default) packets to the device  
and the device responds by sending 500 packets back  
to the PC.  
You can control the speed of the process by  
specifying the delay between 2 packets. The number  
in the delay field is in milliseconds.  
The connection is considered to be in a good  
condition, provided that no more than 15% of the sent  
packets are lost.

A continuous check is carried out on the PC’s system resources. These graph bars are located  
under the system settings menu and indicate the performance of the system. Often systems grow  
bit by bit and no care is given to memory, hard disk space or CPU usage. This can result in very  
slow operation or, in the case of lack of hard disk space, a computer crash.  
Real-time indicators are:  
CPU usage  
Memory  
The CPU usage displays how hard the processor is working. If this is  
continuously on 100% the system will be slow and would improve substantially if  
the processor is upgraded. During backups etc. this indicator will go to 100%  
which is quite normal since these tasks are processor intensive.  
This displays the amount of RAM in use by the computer in total. Often other  
applications running in the background occupy a lot of memory leaving less than  
expected for the access control application. A continuous 100% bar shows that  
adding memory will improve performance substantially.  
HDD Usage  
This should never come to close to 90%. Clean up unwanted and very old files  
on the computer to free up disk space. If there is not sufficient hard disk space  
available, the computer will become very slow and eventually will stop operating.  
Refer to your Windows manual for further details.  
Site Info  
The site info tab under “general settings” contains 11 data fields including contact name, address,  
telephone and system reference numbers. This information is automatically included in various

E-Mail Facilities  
When additional cards need to be re-ordered, it is often difficult to know the type of card, facility  
code etc. which can result in delays of card supply or the supply of incorrect cards for the system.  
The send card numbers and facility code, emails all the relevant data to the installer. This feature  
requires an internet connection.  
E-Mail Unknown Format to Axxess ID  
If existing cards are used which are not known to the AX200, the data collected under Format and  
Statistics – Card Matching can be e-mailed from here. This avoids the need to send cards in the  
post for verification. New formats created can then be e-mailed back.  
When you press one of these buttons, the program will try to send the relevant information to the  
manufacturer ([email protected]) on your behalf. The application will use Microsoft Office  
Outlook to transmit e-mail messages.

The database can become slow if a large number of additions and deletions of records occur.  
The compact database function reorganises the database which reduces the database size and  
improves the speed. Compacting the database is recommended every three months or every 500  
cardholder changes.  
Backup Settings  
It is strongly recommended to backup the system frequently. This can be done manually or  
automatically at preset times and days. The backup path is by default to the same hard disk as  
the AX200 software (C:\Program Files\AX200\backup). It is recommended to backup to tape in  
case of hard disk failure.  
Log and event files can be deleted after a specified amount of time (Backup settings), to prevent  
the hard disk becoming full. Using the report module, backup events can be viewed and printed.  
Database Restore  
In the unlikely event that a database corruption cannot be repaired, (automatically on start-up),  
this feature allows you to restore a backup database. Cardholders or system changes made since  
the last backup will be lost.  
Export Cardholders  
Cardholder details can be exported in standard .CSV files for use in other software programs.  
You will need Microsoft Excel to open that file.  
Import Cardholders  
Contact factory for details.  
All of the above features are also accessible under the File menu in the main screen.

Most card manufacturers have their own specific format, providing a higher security than the  
‘open standard’, which is not as secure.  
The default facility code is 50 bit card format, providing the highest level of card number security.  
Card Matching  
The AX200 supports a number of well known formats. Enter the card number and if known, the  
facility code. Present the card to the reader (systems should be online). If know, it will display  
the possible format. Ensure that multiple cards from the same batch are used to verify the card  
format. You can then use the New Format wizard to add this to the AX200.  
The card matching feature automatically identifies known formats and displays the card number  
and facility code. The Card format wizard allows the simple addition and quick addition of new  
facility codes or card formats by presenting the card to the reader. Unknown Card formats can be  
added using the optional Card Analyser Program or by contacting the factory.

In addition to the Light/Voltage & Temperature/Humidity sensors placed inside the i-BOX during  
manufacturing; there are 16 different types of plug & play smart sensors which can be plug into  
one of the 14 ports on the back of the i-BOX. Each sensor can be programmed to take readings  
as frequent as 1 every second. Maximum and minimum values could be set for every sensor and  
once the reading exceeds the limits an alarm transaction will be generated and displayed on the  
main screen, providing the time, date, type of the alarm, I-BOX and the sensor’s name. Accurate  
reports of all the readings taken by all the sensors could be obtained in Reports • Environment.

i- BOX Parameters  
The diagram on the left shows all the i-box units configured on your PC. On-line units are  
displayed in green. Clicking on + will display all the sensors connected to that i-box. Other than  
the first two sensors which are already in the i-box, there are 14 empty ports for smart sensors to  
be plugged in. Once a new sensor is plugged in, a new device wizard will be opened and you can  
easily configure your sensor. Once a sensor is highlighted on the diagram, all the sensor settings  
will be displayed on the screen.  
The blue list on the bottom of the screen displays all the readings taken by all the online sensors.  
Sensor Settings  
Sensor’s specifications are displayed on the top of the page. Sensor Identity and Sensor Type  
are automatically detected by the application once the sensor is connected to the i-box. These  
values cannot be changed.  
Note: the Serial Number of the sensor is not shown on this page however it is displayed on the  
new device wizard once you plug in the sensor for the first time.

Sensor Name is specified by the user and can be changed at any time.  
Port No displays the number of the port which the sensor is connected to (1•14). In the case of a  
built-in sensor like Temperature/ Humidity, it shows Internal.  
To enable a sensor tick the check box and click the save button on the bottom of the page. Once  
the sensor is enabled it will start taking readings.  
Read frequency specifies how often you want the  
sensor to take a reading. This number is in seconds  
and could be in the range of 1 • 255.  
Reporting frequency tells you how often the reading  
is displayed on the screen. The blue list on the right  
hand side shows all the readings taken by the current  
sensor.  
Store frequency is how often the reading is stored in the i-box. This option is only applicable for  
certain types of sensor.  
Advanced settings include more information on sensor’s name and identity, hardware and the  
firmware version. It also includes the calibration settings for the sensor. Do not attempt to change  
these settings if you’re not sure as this will affect the performance of the sensor.  
Alarms  
Any sensor could be given a maximum and minimum reading value. Once the current reading  
exceeds those limits, it will generate an alarm. In the case of High/Low limit alarms the Max/Min  
fields will become amber. In the case of the pre-alarm they become yellow. Simultaneously, an  
alarm transaction will appear on the main screen providing the sensor’s type, alarm description, i-  
BOX name and sensor ID. An “Alarm cleared” transaction will follow once the current reading falls  
back within the limits.  
You can also program a sensor to generate an alarm once the reading changes considerably.  
Once you’ve ticked the check box you can specify the magnitude of this change in the “Change”  
field.

When a door is opened there might be a dramatic change in the sensor readings (especially  
temperature and light sensors), which may results in generating a false alarm. By enabling this  
feature the application will ignore the alarm generated by that sensor once the door has been  
opened.  
Shunt alarm on delay  
In the same way, when the door is closed the reading will go back to its original status quickly  
which may cause in generating an alarm. To avoid this; once you have activated this feature, you  
can specify the shunt delay time in the i-BOX settings. To view these settings just click on the i-  
box name. As the result, when the door is closed, any generated alarm would be ignored until the  
delay time is over.  
i- BOX Settings  
More information on the i-box such as i-BOX identity, firmware version or the serial number could  
be obtained by clicking on the i-box name (on the diagram on the left).  
Host Online Timeout  
Is the number of seconds after which the I-box assumes that the PC is offline when it does not  
receive a response for the link-alive. So during this time if the I-box does not receive any  
response for link alive the software will report “PC off line”!  
Force time Update  
Specifies the amount of time before the clock on I-box is synchronized with the PCs clock!  
Alarm Strobe Period  
Indicates how long the strobe light will flash once the alarm goes off. (Triggered by Pin 9 on the 9  
way connector on the i-BOX [Ref. page 12])  
Handshake Period  
Determines the period of the initial interaction when two units on the network start communicating  
with each other.  
Shunt Delay  
The period of time during which any alarms generated by the sensors connected to this i-box  
would be ignored after the door is closed. (Shunt alarm on delay needs to be enabled)  
Alarm Sounder Period  
The amount of time that the sounder is activated when the alarm is generated. ( Triggered by Pin  
4 on the 9 way connector on the i-BOX [Ref. page 12])

The default maximum value is 5 seconds. This means, when the I-box sends a transaction to the  
PC it will wait for a response from the PC. If it does not receive any response it will wait for 5  
seconds before sending another message. This number is doubled with every try, until it reaches  
80 seconds (Minimum Timeout).  
Accumulation Period  
Number of seconds that the transactions will be accumulated in the transaction queue in the I-box  
before they are sent (applicable in case of block transaction: max 15 transactions can be in a  
block). If it is set to 2 sec then all the transactions accumulated during 2 sec will be sent.  
It’s the delay period of block transaction but if the queue is already filled with 15 transactions it is  
sent anyway.  
The bottom part of the page contains some information about the network settings on the i-box  
such as the IP address, MAC Address and… it also displays the access identity of the readers  
connected to the access control ports on the back of the i-box.  
PDU (Power Distribution Unit)  
The Power Distribution Units (PDU) are part of the family of plug & play sensors manufactured by  
Axxess Identification; representing a streamlined and more efficient use of power delivery into the

High and low limits could be defined for both voltage and current. Once the reading exceeds  
these limits it will trigger an alarm and the appropriate transaction will appear on the main screen,  
providing the sensor’s type, alarm description, i-BOX name and sensor ID.  
Details  
The status of the sockets is displayed on the left hand side. Each status has a unique colour.  
Colour green means that the socket is switched on and colour red indicates that the socket is  
switched off. If there is a fuse failure in any of the sockets, it will be displayed in amber and the  
appropriate transaction will appear in the main screen. There is a space in front of every socket to  
enter a brief description of the equipment connected to that particular socket.  
The Delay Start-up column includes the number of seconds before a socket is activated when  
the PDU is switched on. If the input value is zero, the socket will not be switched on. (Range: 0s •  
255s)  
The Delay/Current column indicates the upper limit of the current in the unit before a particular  
socket is switched on. For example if the input value for a particular socket is 5, it will not be  
switched on until the current in the unit has dropped down to 5 amps or less.  
If there is a mismatch between the database and the PDU settings, these fields become yellow.  
All you need to do is to press the save button to synchronize the database.

Normal Current: shows the normal amount of current consumed by each device. This value is  
determined by the user and is merely for user’s information and has no effect on the operation of  
the PDU.  
Permit to work & Date/Time: the last two  
columns are for entering a brief explanation in  
case of a socket being switched of by the  
user. To switch off a socket remotely click on  
the ON/OFF buttons on the left hand side.  
Once you click on the ON/OFF button a  
separate window will be opened asking you to  
enter the “Permit to work”.  
Power on delay is the amount of time before any of the PDU sockets becomes activated. Please  
note that once the unit is switched on, this delay time is applied before the delay time set for  
individual sockets. For instance if the overall delay is 10 seconds and the delay time for the first  
socket is 1 second; once the unit is switched on it will take the first socket 11 seconds to be  
activated. To set the overall delay enter the appropriate number of seconds in the field, and press  
save.  
Power feed group  
The units connected to the same power line could be classified into a separate feed group.  
To create a new feed group enter an appropriate name inside the Power feed group field and  
press save. When you add the next PDU, you can select the feed group that you have just  
created and the new unit will be assigned to that group.  
There is also a way to categorize the units that are being fed through different power lines. In this  
case you need to create an Account group which can contain the units that are not connected to  
the same power line.

Sensor  
Redetec sensors are Input/output modules specifically designed to be used with Redetec units to  
provide the ultimate cabinet protection. Redetec is a self-contained automatic fire extinguishing  
unit, which can be used in many industry sectors.  
Like all the other plug & play smart sensors, redetect sensor is connected to the I-box using a  
standard sensor cable only. The unit takes 2 inputs, Faults & Fire. The output signal is the  
Isolate command which puts the extinguishing circuit in complete isolation. This disables the  
extinguishing section for maintenance purposes.  
Hardware Connection Details  
Fault and fire inputs are taken from one  
of the external connector blocks located  
at the rear of the Redetec unit. Both of  
these connections are normally closed.  
The opposite diagram illustrates the  
external connections between the rear  
connecting block and the Redetec  
sensor.  
The output relay on the sensor should  
be connected to the key switch located  
in front of the Redetec unit. There are  
six wires connected to the key switch 5  
of which are connected to the main  
processor card located at the front.  
These connections are in 2 separate  
rows. Looking from the top, from the 3  
wires that are closer to the main  
processor card, the bottom 2 (Black &  
Blue) are the ones that need to be connected to the output relay on the Redetec sensor. Please  
note that there are 2 blue wires connected to the key switch; one of which is connected to the  
relay card on the side. The connection should be made between the blue wire going to the main  
processor card and the out put relay on the sensor.  
Sensor Settings  
Once you’ve plugged the sensor into the I-box a new device wizard will appear and the sensor  
will automatically be added to the database. To view the sensor settings go to the environment  
screen, click on the appropriate I-box and select the Redetec sensor.

Sensor’s specifications are displayed at the top of the screen. You could specify how frequent  
you would like the sensor to take readings and how often you’d like the readings to be reported.  
All the reported and unreported data will be stored in the log file and can be accessed via the  
report section.  
If the Alarm on Fault/Fire is ticked, once there is a fire or fault in the unit, an alarm transaction will  
be generated and displayed on he main screen. This message will include the I-box and the  
sensor’s name + type and the time of the alarm. The AX200 software now has the ability to send  
these alarm messages along with all the necessary information via email.  
Isolate  
In order to switch on the isolate, click on the advanced button. The output settings are located on  
the bottom of the screen. The software will ask you to enter a brief explanation called “permit to  
work” before switching on the isolate. The software reports the isolate state by showing a flashing  
icon below the controller buttons on the main screen.  
Please note that the Isolate is considered an alarm condition so as long as the unit is in isolate  
the sensor’s symbol in the environment screen will remain amber, even if all the other alarms  
have been cleared!  
Once you switch on the isolate the isolate light on the Redetec unit comes on. Please note that  
the isolate command from the software overrides the position of the keys switch.

Note: if the Redetec sensor goes off line for any reason, it will lose control over the Redetec unit.  
This means if the unit has been isolated by the sensor, it will come out of isolate once the sensor  
is disconnected. Therefore we strongly recommend using the key switch for isolation before  
starting any maintenance work.  
PIR  
PIR sensors have been designed to detect movements in an adjustable range  
of 5 to 15 meters.  
PIR sensor is connected directly into one of the free ports on the back of the i-  
BOX using the standard sensor cable only. Once the sensor is connected to  
the i-BOX a New Device Wizard will appear on the screen. Follow the on-  
screen prompts to add the new sensor to the database. To access the settings  
for the PIR sensors go to the environment section, select the appropriate i-BOX  
from the tree menu on the left hand side and select the PIR sensor.  
Once the sensor has been programmed to trigger the alarm on movement, an  
alarm transaction will appear on the main screen when the movement is  
detected. This transaction will include the I-box name, sensor type and the type  
of the alarm.  
All the readings from the PIR sensor could be accessed through the Reports section.  
The three LEDs on the PIR sensor are colour coded as follows:  
PIR Detection: Green/Blue Flash  
Microwave Detection = Orange  
Alarm = Red  
No Movement = Blue (Steady on with short flash)  
No Communication = Blue (Fast Flash)  
Note: To avoid any potential false alarms:  
Make sure the sensor is not under direct sunlight.  
Do not mount detectors near heaters.  
Open windows may induce false alarms caused by draughts and moving objects.

Dust Particle Sensor  
Dust sensor has been designed to detect the level of  
dust particles in the air. The air is sucked in through  
the air inlet on the side and released through the  
outlet on the top. Once the air comes in contact with  
the sensor the level of dust particles is measured  
and reported through the software.  
Please note that the dust sensor must be fitted  
sideways and the air inlet and outlet should not be  
blocked.  
Dust sensor is directly connected to the i-BOX  
through one of the 14 ports on the back using a standard sensor cable. Once the sensor is  
detected by the i-BOX, a new device wizard will appear on the screen. Follow the on-screen  
prompts to add the sensor to the database.  
Dust sensor settings could be accessed in the environment section. On the main screen click on  
the environment button. Select the appropriate i-BOX from the menu on the left and click on the  
dust particle sensor.  
You may use the default settings by pressing the Auto Setup button at the bottom of the screen;  
or you can use alternative settings due to different environmental conditions. Read frequency  
indicates how often the sensor measures the level of particles in the air; Reporting frequency  
shows how often the reading is reported & Store frequency indicates how often the reading is  
stored in the log file. The status reading could be in the range of 1000 to 8500. If you wish to  
lower this figure go to the calibration settings by clicking on the advanced button. The status  
reading is directly affected by the value of C2. That means by decreasing the value of C2, you  
could lower the range of status reading.  
By enabling the Change function the software will notify you if there is a sudden change in the  
level of dust particles in the air. Define the minimum and maximum limits and press save.  
Depending on the environmental conditions the normal reading varies in the range of 1500 to  
2500.  
If the level of particles in the air exceeds the defined limits, the software will notify the user by  
going into the alarm mode. Instantly an alarm transaction will appear on the main screen stating  
the date & time and the type of the alarm. All the alarms and routine readings can be observed in  
the Reports section.

Mains Present Sensor  
Mains Present sensor is directly connected to the i-BOX  
through one of the 14 ports on the back using a standard  
sensor cable. Once the sensor has been detected by the  
i-BOX, a new device wizard will appear on the screen.  
Follow the on-screen prompts to add the sensor to the  
database. Use the cable ties on the sensor to strap the  
sensor onto the mains cable.  
Please note: in order for the mains  
present sensor to work reliably, the i-  
BOX must be earthed. Every mains  
present sensor is supplied with an  
earth cable & plug. Connect the earth  
cable to the i-BOX as demonstrated in  
the picture and plug the other end into  
the electrical socket.  
Settings for the Mains Present sensor could be accessed in the environment section. In the main  
screen click on the environment button. Select the appropriate i-BOX from the menu on the left  
and click on the mains present sensor.  
The default settings are displayed in the screen-shot below. You may use alternative settings if  
you wish. Remember you have to press “Save” for the new settings to take effect. If at any time  
you wish to restore the default settings press the Auto Setup button located at the bottom of the  
screen.  
Read frequency indicates how often the sensor checks the presence of mains in the cable;  
Reporting frequency shows how often the reading is reported & Store frequency indicates how  
often the reading is stored in the log file. The Gain value (0<Gain<63) determines the level of  
sensitivity of the sensor. You may need to change this value depending on the thickness of the  
insulation on the mains cable. As this value increases the sensor becomes more sensitive. In  
order to tune the sensor you need to change the value of Gain and try to find the point where the  
sensor starts to detect the mains. Try to find the point where you’re getting Off/Present readings

from the sensor, then add one to whatever the value of Gain is at that moment. For example if the  
sensor starts detecting the mains at Gain = 33, then the suitable sensitivity would be Gain = 34.  
If “Alarm on off” is ticked in the sensor’s settings; once the mains in the cable is lost; an alarm  
transaction will appear on the main screen stating the date & time and the type of the alarm. All  
the alarms and routine readings can be observed in the Reports section.  
D T U ( D a t a T r a n s f e r U n i t )  
Originally introduced as an AX100 component, the data transfer unit is available as an option, to  
transfer database changes from the PC to the controller without the need for a direct PC  
connection.  
After the initial programming, the AX100 controller can be disconnected from the PC and the  
controller will perform all access control functions autonomously. The controller can open and  
close doors without computer intervention.  
The PC is where all the system configuration and data management is stored. The optional data  
transfer unit (DTU) enables the data that has been entered at the PC to be downloaded to the  
controller without the need of a physical PC connection.  
One data transfer unit can be used for up to 255 controllers, or a total of 16,000 cardholders  
distributed over multiple controllers in a single download. E.g. 10 controllers each with 1,600  
cardholders can be downloaded in one go, without the need to go backwards and forwards  
between the PC and controller. Similarly 255 controllers each with 60 cardholders can be  
downloaded to each controller without returning to the PC. Only valid cardholders are  
downloaded to the controller.  
The Data Transfer Unit is fully plug and play at the controller and PC. The AX200 PC software  
allows multiple DTU’s to be used.  
Connecting the DTU  
Make sure the COM port settings are enabled in  
System Settings • General Settings. Connect the  
power supply to the communication cable at the 15  
way connector. Plug in the 9 way connector to the serial port of the PC. Start the AX200  
software. Connect the DTU to the RJ45 connector, follow the on-screen instructions of the install  
wizard.  
After configuring the DTU, the following window will appear on the screen. This window contains  
the list of the doors that require download.

By pressing OK, database changes are automatically downloaded into the DTU. A list of  
controllers requiring a download can be printed using the reporting function.  
Once the data has been downloaded into the DTU, disconnect and plug the unit into the AX100  
controller directly (no cable or power supply is required). The data is now automatically  
transferred into the controller. Once downloaded the LED will go to green (completed) or if  
flashing green then it is completed but other downloads to controllers are still in the DTU.  
Complete downloads to all the controllers until the LED is permanent green. Once complete, go  
back to the PC plug in the DTU. This will confirm all the downloads and remove them from the  
pending list.  
Any outstanding downloads can be viewed by clicking on the green icon.

the PC when connected. If a door is forgotten the  
download required icon remains visible on the main  
screen and by double clicking this, a list is shown with outstanding controllers. The list with  
outstanding controllers can also be printed off as a reminder which doors require a download.  
When a cardholder is added to the database, downloads are only required to those doors the

New doors can be added by simply plugging the DTU into the controller and returning back to the  
PC. This will automatically start the new device wizard, which allows you to add the new  
controller. There is no need to pre-program the controller at the PC first; all settings are handled  
by the DTU. Note: - the DTU must be in the current controller list however it does not need to be  
active for this function to work.  
Adding Card Formats using a DTU  
A single transaction can also be brought back to the PC by inserting the DTU into the controller  
and whilst inserted, use a card at the reader. When you return to the PC the transaction will show  
on the transaction screen. If it is an unknown card type, it will automatically start the card format  
wizard allowing the addition of the card type to the database (subject to technology type).  
The DTU does not contain any batteries, which might need replacing. It is powered directly from  
the controller and at the PC by the plug-in power supply which connects to the RJ45 connecter  
plug.  
Data is permanently stored in the DTU without the need for batteries; this means the DTU can  
easily be sent in the post to update for instance remote sites. On and offline controllers can be  
combined within one system.

Sometimes the activities carried out by the AX200 software can be disrupted either by the firewall  
or the antivirus software which is protecting your PC. This section is intended to provide you with  
the solutions to some of the problems caused by the most popular antivirus packages.  
If you are trying to configure an SMTP server for e-mail in the AX2000 software, when you do a  
test send, you may encounter an error the instant the AX200 connects to the sever; "Email  
aborted due to a timeout or other issue". When you click on ok the server disconnects and  
does not send the email!  
The issue is caused by MacAfee Virus scan Enterprise version 8 or higher.  
By default the SMTP port in the AX200 is port 25. The antivirus blocks all mass mail processes  
on port 25.

Configuring Verid+  
Verid+ has been designed to support PIN entry from a variety of devices – track 2 card readers,  
proximity readers, and keypad with Wiegand or track 2 outputs water mark and Wiegand readers.  
All new Verid+ units are delivered to accept input from Wiegand input device .Verid+ will need to  
be configured to expect the appropriate PIN input device. The appropriate data format for the  
finger print reader in order to be compatible with the AX200 system is Wiegand 2601. Therefore  
the reader connected to Verid+ unit needs to be programmed to have Wiegand 2601 output. To  
do this you need to present the appropriate configuration card within 10 seconds of reader start-

up. Note that the card number should be smaller than 65535 otherwise the card number that  
appears on the screen would not be correct.  
To program Verid+ to expect Wiegand 2601  
format you need to use Verid + software (Win 95,  
98) provided with the unit. Use the provided cable  
to connect the unit to the serial port on the back of  
the PC. Then open the software and click on  
Connect in the Connection menu. To enter the  
Configuration mode open the Mode menu. The  
required password is “Config”. Once in the  
configuration mode go to Configuration Options  
and make sure that the input and output formats  
(under Input & Output tabs) are Wiegand 2601.  
You will have more option available to you in the  
Supervisor mode (password: SysManager)  
Remember that these configurations must be  
done on a blank database (you can erase the  
database while you’re in the configuration mode.  
Just go to the database menu).  
Programming a New User  
To program a new user make sure that the database in the reader is empty. When you power up  
the unit it will automatically enter the Super User mode. When “Add a new User” is displayed  
press enter. Select super user if you’re about to enter the first record. Then Select Global  
Settings. The unit will scan your fingerprint 3 times and create a record known as a template. You  
will have the option of adding a second template for your user. When “Enter PIN is displayed”  
swipe your card or enter a PIN number and press Enter. If “invalid PIN” is shown on the screen  
while swiping a card, either the card has not been swiped correctly or Verid+ has not understood  
the card format or data signals. RE-swipe the card a couple of times. Then check the wiring and  
the configuration settings. You can always go back to the super user mode by holding the cancel  
button while swiping a valid card or entering a valid PIN.  
Once you’ve programmed the first user successfully, you can use your valid PIN to unlock the  
door through the AX200 system. To set up a cardholder in the AX200 software you need to  
choose the correct card format through the Format and Statistics section.  
In the Format and statistics go to card matching and swipe your valid card. After the fingerprint  
verification the correct card format will appear on the screen.

2. Install the Verid software provided with the unit and connect the unit to the serial port on  
the back of the PC.  
3. Enter the configuration mode (password: Config)

enter the super user mode at the start up.) If the database is not empty you can erase it  
in the database menu.  
5. Under Options • Configuration Options • Input, select Wiegand 2601 from the drop-down  
menu. Make sure the out-put is the same.  
6. Before exiting the software go to Mode • Start Verification.  
7. Once the unit has been programmed to accept Wiegand 2601 format. Power up the unit  
and add your first user.  
8. In the AX200 software add the correct format through “format & statistics” (26bit Global  
Std)  
9. Setup a cardholder with the correct card number & card format.

AXM Readers  
The AXM magstripe readers provide high performance and reliability for high  
security access control. AXM readers are completely weatherproof and  
suitable for in-door and out-door applications.  
Output Type  
Wiegand 50 bit (Type 5)  
Other output formats available for most OEM applications  
Magstripe cards supplied by Axxess Identification are encoded in order to work  
with 7¯7 format. In this type of encoding the first 7 digits are used to calculate  
the card number and the rest makes up the facility code. For example if the  
card has a 10 digit number; using the 7 ¯7 format, the first 7 digit will form the  
card number and the last 3 digits will form the facility code. If the number of digits is less than 7  
then the facility code will be zero.

All the standard cards supplied by Axxess ID are recognized by the AX200 software and ready to  
be programmed. If you have not purchased your card from Axxess Identification, you may have to  
use the card matching function and activate the appropriate card format in order to make the card  
valid. Card matching feature is available in the Format & Statistics section. For more information  
please refer to the Format & Statistic section on this manual.

Proximity Request to Exit  
The Proximity REX detects the hand within the range of approximately  
5cm. Once the hand has been detected, the relay goes off and closes  
the connection between the relay board and the request to exit terminal  
on the AX100 controller. The Proximity REX acts exactly like the REX  
Button and once the request to exit has been granted, the appropriate  
transaction appears on the main screen stating the time and the name of  
the access point. Please note that this product is based on infrared  
technology; therefore other infrared light sources may affect the performance of this detector.
