Overview
Thank you for your purchase of the Access Control Manager software.
This configuration and workflow guide will walk you through the steps required to connect and
configure your new Access Control Manager system.
This is not a comprehensive guide of every feature and field in the system. For that, you can
review the Access Control Manager online help files. This guide handles the initial setup of your
system through the Access Control Manager appliance and bypasses some of the advanced
features and tasks that you may want to use later but don’t really need initially.
To that end, we begin with a flowchart of the steps you should take to get your Access Control
Manager system up and running.
We hope you enjoy your user experience with the Access Control Manager.

Express
Enterprise
The following workflow is divided into sections and subsections representing the steps you will
take in configuring the Access Control Manager system.
Connecting and Accessing the Access Control Manager Appliance
Required Items
This is a list of items you will need to configure your new Access Control Manager appliance:
• Access Control Manager Appliance (or Access Control Manager Virtual Appliance DVD
with License)
• Power Cable
• Crossover Cable (not included)
• Static IP address
• Domain Name Server that will be responsible for resolving the static IP address to a name.
Configuration Procedure
1. Connect the power cord to the power connector on the Access Control Manager
appliance then plug the other end into an available electrical outlet.
If this is a Access Control Manager virtual appliance, skip Steps 1 and 2.

6. Proceed to add Areas (page 19).
If you do not require areas in order to define the doors, you can skip Areas and go
directly to Doors (page 21).
18
Areas
3
Areas are zones the Access Control Manager assigns to define a physical area within a secured
location. This area can be relatively small, like a lab or a store room, or large, like a collection of
buildings. Areas often incorporate one or more doors with their attached inputs and outputs. Once
an area is defined, it can be assigned to a role or policy indicating that portion of a facility or
company to which assigned users are limited.
For example, a scientist works in an area designated as Laboratory A. As long as he accesses
doors leading into or exiting that area, he is granted access. But if he attempts to enter an area
designated as Administrative A, he is denied access.
To define an area:
1. From the icon task bar on the home page, click or mouse-over Physical Access.
The Physical Access main page appears.
2. Click the Areas submenu option.
The Areas Listing page appears like this example:
3. Click the button.
The Area Add page appears like this example:
