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 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.

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.

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
1 to 6 numbers – the default setting is 4.
This field is required if PIN Settings (found on the Access Point screen) is enabled and a keypad
or reader with keypad is used. If a reader with PIN is selected, the card is presented to the
reader first followed by entry of the 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
week plus an extra column for holidays.
To create a new time zone press add and enter an appropriate name for the time zone. You can
program up to 256 different time zones. Any record after the 256th time zone will not be

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.

Access Identity
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
length of the field allows up to 50 characters e.g. Building 1 Section West Door 28 Admin. The
first 20 characters are displayed on the current controller information.

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
Settings” button. The door can be programmed simply by clicking and dragging the mouse. The
green zone is the time period during which the door will be unlocked.
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
camera.

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

PIN Timeout: Indicates in seconds, the time required to enter the PIN number before clearing the
buffer or sending the data as invalid or incomplete. A longer time might be required for elderly,
disabled or specific locations i.e. car parks.
High Security activates PIN: The system normally operates in card only mode and changes to
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

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,

DB Maintenance
Database maintenance is normally done by the AX200 automatically. If data is corrupted
because of an unexpected shutdown of the PC this is repaired automatically when the software is
restarted. All erase functions require an override password and are normally never used. After
each backup, files are automatically deleted.

Installation & User Guide
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.
Export Photo ID Templates
Exports all the photo ID templates in a mdb file. You will need Microsoft Access to open that file.

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.

access control security and environmental
monitoring. Each i-BOX includes a built in
temperature, humidity, light and voltage
sensor with 14 ports for plug and play
connections of additional smart sensors,
together with 2 access control ports.
When presenting a card to a reader connected to the i- BOX, the transaction will be recorded,
providing a date and time stamp. Detailed reports of all the transactions can be filtered by single
or a group of doors, employee name, company or department, individual date or date range.
These reports can be printed or exported into a database or spreadsheet for analysis. Just go to
Reports • Environment and select the appropriate criteria.
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.
These reports can be filtered by a single or a group of locations, sensor’s type, name & ID and I-
box Name & ID.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

Proximity Readers
Honeywell proximity readers have been designed to be installed
for use with access control systems. The following instructions
outline the connections between the reader and the AX200 access
control system as well as the software configurations that need to
be carried out in order to make the system ready to operate.

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.
Technical Details
ꢁ Power Requirement: 10-14 VDC (15mA Quiescent. 35mA Operated)
ꢁ Changeover relay contacts rated 30VDC Max. 1A non-inductive.
The diagram below shows the connections between the proximity
