In this chapter we will cover adding door controllers and doing the basic setup of AXIS Camera
Station Secure Entry.
Add AXIS A1601s to AXIS Camera Station
Start the AXIS Camera Station Client if not already started.
From AXIS Camera Station version 5.35 AXIS A1601 Network Door Controllers can be added as
a device. Add AXIS A1601s to the system just as you are used to doing with your cameras.
6
To change the name of your door controller: Go to Configuration → Devices → Other Devices
and edit the system names. Setting a name for your door controller can also be done when
adding the device.
7
Upgrading firmware of the AXIS A1601
Go to Configuration → Devices → Management and update the Firmware of the added A1601s
Time setup of the AXIS A1601
Set the correct Date and Time for all your controllers.
Factory defaulting when doing a firmware upgrade is required
when going from the Active firmware track to the Secure
Entry firmware track
8
Since it is important in an access control setup that all devices and the server is in sync when it
comes to time, specifying an NTP -server for time synchronization or having the AXIS Camera
Station Server act as an NTP server is strongly recommended. You can setup the Server to act
as an NTP under Configuration→Server→Settings
9
An identification profile is a profile applied to one or many doors that defines how a cardholder’s
access attempt is validated through the sides of a door. The identification type needs to be
associated with a door to have an effect on the system.
Identification profiles are configured under Configuration → Access control → Identification
profiles. There are four system default Identification profiles available as reference that you can
edit to achieve the system functionality you need, or you can create your own identification
profiles from scratch.
The solution contains identification profiles by default. If you have no
special needs that you know of, you can skip this section and come back
to it later if there is a need.
10
Adding and editing identification profiles
When creating an identification profile, you combine the means of identification such as Card and
PIN with a schedule as to when the created identification type (for instance card + pin) should be
active on the specific side of the door or doors that will later have this identification profile applied
to it.
You can combine many identification types on different schedules to configure exactly how your
means of identification should be applied on, for instance entrance doors.
Clicking on the small calendar icon to the far right of the identification profile’s respective door
side will give you a visual calendar representation of the identification profile applied to that side
of the door. Remember, you need to add an identification type for both Side A and B
11
Let’s say you have a reader (or all readers) in the system providing you with a card number that
is not what is expected/printed on the card. A card format can adjust this inside each door
controller so that the validation data are matched correctly with the credentials connected to the
cardholders in the system.
The solution contains card formats by default. If you have no special
needs that you know of, you can skip this section and come back to it
later if there is a need.
12
Configuring Card formats are done under Configuration → Access control → Card formats and
PIN. What is done here is setting up the translation table between the data that the door
controllers in the system receive from their connected card readers and the wanted data that
access validations are based on.
The system has a few predefined commonly used card formats that you can use as they are or
use as reference when creating custom card formats. Each card format has a different set of data
parameters, field maps, for how the information stored on the card is organized. By defining a
card format you tell the system how to interpret the information that the controller gets from the
reader. For information about which card formats the reader supports, see the manufacturer’s
instructions. In this view you also have the possiblity to adjust your systems PIN code length.
Settings done in this section are applied generally on all readers in the system unless they have
been changed to local settings with deviations from the general settings.
PIN length configurations
Press the PIN length button to adjust the wanted PIN lengths in the system.
13
Here you can adjust your systems minimum pin length as well as maximum pin length. If you
have a difference between the minimum and maximum values, you need to set an end of pin
character for the system’s door controllers to know that a cardholder with a shorter PIN is finished
inputting the PIN at the card reader.
Adding and editing card formats
Give your new card format a name.
Define the bit length of the format enabling the systems door controllers to use this format when
card data with 32 bits are received from the card reader. Check the boxes if you want to invert bit
or byte order of the entire data received.
Inverting bit order
Inverting the bit order of the incoming data is basically switching the reading of the
bits (ones or zeroes from reading from left to right to reading from right to left)
19 275 = 0100 1011 0100 1011 → 1101 0010 1101 0010 = 53 970
→ Read from left Read from right←
Inverting byte order
Firstly, we must establish that one byte equals eight bits (ones or zeroes). Same as for
inverting the bit order we switch the reading of bytes from left to right to from right to left.
64 332 = 1111 1011 0100 1100 = FB4C → 4CFB = 0100 1100 1111 1011 = 19 707
F B 4 C
14
Choose if card number and/or facility code should be data fields that are active in your card
format and set the bit ranges for the respective fields to get the field representation out from the
binary card data.
Choose what output format you want from the respective field for your system’s credential
validation. If it should be decimal (Int) or hexadecimal output.
Choose the bit order of the data field.
