interface successfully. Automatic IP address retrieval from the DHCP server is set by
default in the . Thus, if connected to a network in which a DHCP 2N Access Unit
®
server configured to assign IP addresses to all new devices is available, the will device
obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. The IP address can be 2N® Access Unit
found in the DHCP server status (according to the MAC address given on the
production plate), or will be communicated to you by the voice 2N® Access Unit
function; refer to the Installation Manual.
If there is no DHCP server in your LAN, use the RESET button to set 2N® Access Unit
the static IP address mode; refer to the respective Installation Manual. Your unit

5.2 Directory
Here is what you can find in this section:
5.2.1 Users
5.2.2 Time Profiles
5.2.3 Holidays

5.2.1 Users
The Users list is one of the crucial parts of the intercom configuration. It contains user
information relevant for such intercom functions as quick dialling, RFID card/code
door unlocking, missed call e-mails and so on.
The User list contains up to 1999 users – typically, each user is assigned just one
position. The User list provides information on the users that are granted access to the
building via the RFID cards.
If your external card reader is connected to the intercom via the Wiegand interface,
the card ID is shortened to 6 or 8 characters for transmission (depending on the
transmission parameters). If you apply a card to the reader, you will receive a
complete ID, which is typically longer (8 chars or more). The last 6 or 8 characters,
however, are identical. This is useful for comparing card IDs with the intercom
database: if the IDs to be compared have different lengths, they are compared from
the end and match has to be found in 6 characters at least. If they have identical
lengths, all the characters are compared. This ensures mutual compatibility of the
internal and external readers.
All cards applied via the reader or the Wiegand interface are recorded. Refer to the
menu for the last 10 cards including the card ID/type, card Status Access Log/
tapping time and other information if necessary. With small systems, you can make a
trick to enter card IDs: tap the card on the intercom reader and find it in the Access
. Double-click to select the card ID and push CTRL+C. Now that you have the card Log
ID in your box, you can insert it with CTRL+V in any intercom setting field.
Having been read, the card ID is compared with the intercom card database. If the
card ID matches any of the cards in the database, the appropriate action will be
executed: switch activation (door unlocking, etc.). To change the switch number to be
activated, use the parameter in the menu Associated Switch Hardware Card Reader/
or the parameter in the menu of the card Associated Switch Hardware Modules/
reader module.

Refer to the menu for the User list settings. Use the navigation panel Directory / Users
for selecting user positions easily and arrows for scrolling pages. Or, you can enter the
position number and push to move to the position quickly. If you know the user’s
name, push to find its position.
The Search in directory function works as a fulltext search in position numbers, user
names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses. The match is found in all the positions.
Every record in the Users list includes the following parameters:
Name – a mandatory parameter for easier user search, for example.
E-mail – user e-mail address for sending missed call information. You can enter
more e-mail addresses separated with commas.
User switch codes – enter the switch activating user codes (door lock activation,
e.g.). A time profile can be assigned to each code.
User cards – enter the user-defined access cards with/without a time profile.
Enable/disable double authentication (valid user card + switch activating code)
for each user.
User mobile key – allows to authenticate users using a mobile app 2N Mobile

Refer to the menu for the Users settings. Use the navigation panel Directory / Users
for selecting the user positions easily and arrows for scrolling pages. Or, you can enter
the position number and push to move to the position quickly. If you know the
user's name, push to find its position.

List of Parameters
– all the user data will be deleted after the user is removed.Remove user
Name – enter the user name for the selected user position. This parameter is
optional and helps you find items in the user list more easily.
E-mail – enter the user E-mail to which information on missed or successful calls
can be sent. Refer to the E-Mail subsection for more details.
Each user is assigned an access mode for intercom authentication.
Acces Profiles – assign an access profile to user Auth ID to control its validity. If
the profile is inactive, the user Auth ID is considered invalid. If assigned multiple
profiles at the same time, Auth ID is valid only if one of the profiles is active at
least.
Authentication mode – set the authentication mode for a user - either simple or
a combination of the user card, numeric code and fingerprint, depending on
which authentication devices are installed. To activate the switch in the multiple
authentication mode, it is necessary to perform all the selected authentication
actions sequentially in ten-second intervals.
Valid from – set the beginning of the mode validity term.
Valid to – set the end of the mode validity term.
23/103
Each user can be assigned a private switch activation code. The user switch codes can
be arbitrarily combined with the universal switch codes defined in the Hardware |
menu. If the codes are identical with the codes already defined in the Switches
intercom configuration, the mark will appear at the colliding codes.
Code – set a private user switch activation code: up to 16 characters including digits 0–
9 only.
Each of the intercom users can be assigned one access RFID card.
Card ID – set the user access card ID: 6–32 characters including 0–9, A–F. Each
user can be assigned just one access card. When a valid card is tapped on the
reader, the switch associated with the card reader gets activated. If the double
authentication mode is enabled, the switch can only be activated using both a
card and numeric code.
Tip
The user card ID can also be entered via an external USB card reader
(Part No. 9137421E).
Press and swipe the card through the USB card reader. The card
number will be automatically entered into the Card ID field.
Make sure that a PC driver is installed to make the USB card reader work
.properly. Refer to www.2n.cz

) Repeat the process if any inconsistency occurs during fingerprint reading.6
7) If fingerprint scanning is successful, confirm the settings by clicking DONE.
27/103
To apply the fingerprint settings, confirm the process by clicking SAVE AND QUIT.
8) You can check the current settings in the User tab.
– set a unique mobile device/user identifier. The parameter value is Auth ID
automatically generated for pairing. You can move Auth ID to another user or
copy it to another device in the same location.
– assign a time profile to user Auth ID to control its validity. If the Time profile
profile is inactive, the user Auth ID is considered invalid. If assigned multiple
profiles at the same time, Auth ID is valid only if one of the profiles is active at
least.
– display the current pairing state (Inactive, Waiting for pairing, PIN Pairing state
validity expired or Paired).
– display the date and time of the generated authorisation PIN Pairing valid until
