Configuring APACS
& AAN Controllers
Getting Going…
Connect Controller
•
Connect power to the controller
–
12V ~1A
•
Connect the controller to the network
–
Use a network switch or crossover cable
Check Operation
•
When everything is connected
correctly, check the LEDs to confirm
proper operation
Program the IP Address
•
InitAAN utility
to program
•
Ping
to confirm
Connect Reader
Interface
•
Connect the AIM-4SL reader interface
to the first communication port
–
Use ‘crossover’ wiring (T>R, R>T)
–
Set address of AIM-4SL with DIP switch
Connect Reader
•
Follow reader
instructions to
connect wires
for power, comms
and LEDs/buzzer
Install Software
•
Install from CD or download package
from Apollo Website
•
A key is required to use APACS
–
Hardware key – USB dongle that plugs into the PC
–
Software key – A file that is downloaded from Apollo’s
website after providing an activation code. Save the
file in the APACS install directory.
System Configuration
•
Launch System Configuration
–
Default user/password: 1/1
•
Add PC
–
Right-click system tree:
Add
–
Number
isn’t needed
–
IP Address
of local PC, use
numeric address or name
System Configuration
•
Add the controller to the PC
–
Network communication type
•
Set IP Address in
Communication Settings
Add Reader
•
Add the reader to the
controller
–
The first reader on an AIM-4SL
is always
master
(matches
number on DIP switch)
–
Select proper
Port
and
Address
–
If you don’t have a door contact
connected yet, go to
hardware
menu and unselect
door
contact control
Config Check
•
Your system tree should now look like
this:
Permissions
•
Assign
permissions to
the default
permissions
set: ‘1’
–
Make sure
Message
and
Control
permissions are
granted for all objects
Check Global Settings
•
Make sure global settings are correct
for the system
–
Click on root of system tree
•
Save configuration
Start Communication
•
Launch Alarm Mode
–
If messages are displayed for ‘Online’ then
configuration is correct. Also check with Hardware
Status
Test a Card
•
Swipe a card at the reader
–
A message should display with the result
•
Card Format Error or Wrong Facility Code
Set Card Format
•
Change Card Format in Controller
Configuration to match the cards in
use
–
Set the bit length and facility code
•
Save configuration and swipe the card
again
Create Access Level
•
Name the Access Level and then add
reader/time zone
–
Use the system time zone ‘Always’
Create User & Assign
Access Level
•
Use the card number to create a new
user with card and assign the AL
First Access Grant
