Overview of Access Easy Controller 2.1
The basic AEC2.1 system consists of a single metal enclosure with three components: CPU, 4Reader board, and Power Supply Unit (PSU). Space is provided for a 12-volt standby battery
to sustain the system in event of a power failure. The PSU in the controller has an input power
of 100~240 VAC.
The enclosure is key locked and is equipped with a tamper switch to detect any tampering of
the panel, and/or when the controller door is being opened.
Figure 3.1: AEC2.1 Main Enclosure
In its minimum configuration, an AEC2.1 system supports one 4-Reader board. The board
comes with, 4 card reader, 8 input, and 8 output ports to support all necessary hardware
(door lock/strike outputs, door contact inputs and request-to-exit inputs). A full AEC2.1
system supports up to a maximum of 16 interface boards (eight 4-Reader boards and eight 8IO boards). This allows the AEC2.1 system to support up to 32 card readers, 64 alarm type
input and 64 controllable output points.
CPU Board - The CPU board contains a microprocessor, RAM memory and all necessary
electronic circuitry to interact with other circuit boards. The CPU board contains the hardware
and software needed to interface to an Ethernet-type network and to communicate with host
computers using TCP/IP protocol.
4-Reader Board - The 4-Reader board is an interface board for AEC2.1. The reader board
contains all circuitry necessary to interface with, and operate, up to four card readers. The
reader board also provides wiring termination points for the readers, door strikes or magnetic
2013.05 | V1.0.5 | F.01U.122.797 Software Manual Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd
Access Easy Controller 2.1 Overview of Access Easy Controller 2.1 | en 15
locks, door contacts and request-to-exit devices. The first interface board of the system
communicates with the CPU board via the RS232 channel. The subsequent interface boards
are linked through a multi-drop communication channel, RS485, to form the system. The PSU
supplies the required 12V DC power to the board.
8-Input-Output Board -The 8-IO board is an interface board for AEC2.1. The 8-IO board
provides the necessary circuitry to monitor 8-alarm type (non-reader) inputs, and to control up
to eight external devices, such as bells, fans, lights, etc. The board also provides wiring
termination points for the input and output devices. The first interface board of the system
communicates with the CPU board via the RS232 channel. The subsequent interface boards
are linked up through a multi-drop communication channel, RS485. The PSU supplies the
required 12V DC power to the board.
Access Easy Extension - Access Easy Extension is a metal enclosure identical in size to the
basic AEC2.1. The Extension unit contains a Power Supply Unit, and space to install up to two
additional 4-Reader boards and/or 8-IO boards. Space is provided for an optional 12V, 7AH
standby battery to sustain the system in time of power failure.
Notice!
AEC2.1 does not come with the 12V DC standby battery.

point of time.
The screen below shows the card functionality page.
Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd Software Manual 2013.05 | V1.0.5 | F.01U.122.797
en | Card Administration Access Easy Controller 2.1

All the card functions are explained in detail below
Cardholder is able to Arm/Disarm
If this feature is checked, it implies that the cardholder is given the authority to arm/disarm a
specific Alarm Zone or All Alarm Zones as defined in the field. Select the alarm zone from the
Zone dropdown list.
This functionality works in conjunction with the reader that is set to arm/disarm the alarm
zone. Refer to Door Output Settings (for Entry Reader, Entry and Arm/Disarm Reader), page 80
for more details.
If this function is enabled on the cardholder, then the alarm zone will toggle from arm to
disarm or vice versa when the cardholder presses 0 before presenting the card to the card
reader. However if the cardholder presents the card to the reader without activating the arm/
disarm function on the reader keypad, it will unlock the door and disarm the alarm zone
depending on the cardholders access right.
Cardholder must abide by holiday schedules (to work in conjunction with Reader Options)
If this feature is checked, it implies the cardholders' access rights are different during
holidays. It works in conjunction with the Reader Options on holidays followed by the holiday
schedules. If checked, the 4 sets of Regular or Special Holiday schedules are used to operate
the access mode, e.g. Cardholder is allowed to access the controlled area during weekdays
and during office hours. However during holidays, the cardholder is allowed to access this
area as defined by the Holiday schedule intervals.
Allow exit reader usage only in accordance with time schedules
This mode is valid only if there is an exit reader. If this function is checked, the Reader will
allow the cardholder to exit the area within the valid Schedule intervals. When the function is
unchecked, the reader will allow the cardholder to exit the area at all times.
Card holder can enable enrollment operation
If this feature is checked, it implies the selected cardholders have the right to use their card to
activate a Reader to be in enrollment mode. Refer to Card Enrollment using Pre-assigned
Enrollment Card, page 61 for more details.
2013.05 | V1.0.5 | F.01U.122.797 Software Manual Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd
Access Easy Controller 2.1
Card Administration | en 55
Disable card from all access permanently
If this feature is checked, it implies the cardholder will be denied access from the system
immediately. This feature is useful to prevent illegal access to the system if the cardholder
loses or misplaces the card.
Card holder with one time access only
If this feature is checked, it implies the cardholder will have only one time access to the
system. This means that after the card holder has gained access, the cardholder's access will
become invalid immediately. To gain access again, the AEC2.1 system administrator has to
reactivate the one time access right. This function is useful in a remote station delivery
application.
Ensure the Valid radio button is selected for the Access Status. After the card has been used
for one time access, the Access Status will expire immediately and the Access Status will be
updated to Expired automatically.
Card + PIN is required on Keypad readers
This mode works only when the Card Reader's PIN mode is set. If this feature is checked, it
implies the cardholder must enter the PIN after presenting the card to the reader to gain
access. The cardholder can configure up to 7 digits for the PIN.
When using it on the reader, the cardholder must enter the PIN followed by the ‘E’ key for C3
readers and S-Series reader or ‘#’ for HID compliant readers. For example, if the cardholder
configures less than 7 digits as the pin, for example ‘5566’, then the cardholder must enter
‘5566#’ for the PIN.
Enter user PIN (1-7 digits)
This field is to be used for the Card + PIN mode (default PIN code 1234000).
Extended duration for door access
This function is to facilitate special card holders to have extended duration for Door Strike and
Keypad Time-out. If this feature is checked, it allows the cardholder to keep the door open for
a longer time after a successful access is granted before a Door Held Open alarm is activated.
The Keypad Time-out duration is also extended by the selected time on top of the normal
Keypad Time-out duration. An example of such an application is for the handicapped people
who need a longer time to access the door.
To select the extended time duration, select the time in seconds from the dropdown list
beside the extended duration for door access. The range is from 0 to 255 seconds.
Card Validation Dates
This feature defines the start and end date parameters.
The Start Date is the date from when the card is valid and End Date is the date from when the
card is no longer valid. The card will not be able to access any door before the Start Date and
after the End Date.
Cards having such parameter settings are normally issued to contractors or temporary staff
who will only be allowed to access the controlled area for a known period of time. The usage
of this feature can be either one or the combination of both. You can define a card that only
allow access after a specified future date but doesn't have an expiry date. In this case, you
only select and set the Start Date but leave the End Date unchecked.
Alternatively, you can define a card that is valid with immediate effect but is valid only for 2
days; in this case you can leave the Start Date unchecked but check and select the End Date.

Notice!
You must check the respective box for Start Date or End Date in order for it to be effective.
Dual Card Assignment
This mode is useful if 2 cards are required to be presented in sequence to the Reader to
unlock the door. This mode works in conjunction with the Dual Card Configuration. Refer to
Dual Card Configuration, page 87 for more information. The First Card has to be presented
first before the Second Card is presented, else the door will not unlock. A Don't Care Card
can act as the first or second card. In this setup here, you will need to define whether a card
is a First Card, Second Card or Don't Care Card, and which group it belongs to. Cards from
different groups cannot unlock the door.
Select the radio button besides Dual Card presentation sequence to enable this mode. You
will need to define whether a card is a First Card, Second Card or Don't Care Card from the
dropdown list. You will also have to select the Dual Card Group ID from the dropdown list. 2
cards from the same Dual Card Group ID must be presented to the Reader to unlock the door.

Card Fields Configuration
This chapter explains the configuration of the card information fields.
Access Groups
An Access Group defines a list of readers that the cardholders can access within certain
authorized time periods (pre-defined Schedule). This means that only within this Schedule,
cardholders in this access group can access this reader. AEC2.1 supports upto 254
programmable Access Groups.
In addition, there are two more unique access groups. They are the Full Access group that
allows cardholders to access all readers at all times, usually reserved for the President,
Chairman or Directors of the company and the Unused group that prohibits cardholder to
access any reader at all times. All these features are explained in this chapter and this chapter
covers a step by step guide to set up the Access Groups.
Access Group is implemented to simplify the process of assigning cardholder's access rights
to each reader. Usually a group of cardholders can access the same group of readers, using a
common Schedule. Assigning access groups reduces the pain of going through the same steps
repeatedly. Rather than assigning each reader to one of the cardholder and going through the
same steps repeatedly, grouping of Access Group is implemented. It is highly recommended
that detail planning be done before setting up the Access Groups. Each Access Group can
configure up to 32 readers with each reader linked to a Schedule.
Click the link Card > Access group to access the access group page. The screen below shows
the Access Group main page.
Click the corresponding range link at the top right to view the access groups.

Parity Format fields).
Notice!
The entries to this field must not contain Parity Bit Location that depends on the resultant
Parity Bit of the next or higher (Parity Format 2 to 8) Parity Format field entries.
If the Card Format doesn't support Parity checking, leave the All Parity Format fields blank.
In order to understand how to configure the different format, the standard 26-Bit Wiegand
Card Format will be used as an example.
Example: 26-Bit Wiegand Card Format
The 26-bits of transmission from the reader to the AEC2.1 consist of two parity bits and 24
code bits. The first transmitted bit is the even parity bit E, it is calculated over the first 12 bits.
The last bit transmitted is the Odd parity O, it is calculated over the last 12 bits.
The string of bits for this code format is shown in the following tables. Due to the lack of
space, the 26-Bits are split into two separate rows of 13 each.

Door Settings (Card Reader Settings)
AEC2.1 software is designed to integrate with its hardware to provide a total solution as an
integrated Access Control System.
Before the System is fully functional, we have to set up the hardware-related parameters. This
chapter explains how to setup the most essential parameters of the AEC2.1 system, namely
the Card Reader parameters, comprising of the following sections: -
– Reader Function
– Reader Options
– I/O Settings
– PIN Code Settings
– Anti-Passback (APB) Settings
– Dual Card Configuration
All AEC2.1 Card Readers can be configured to work either as an Entry Reader, Entry and Exit
Reader or an Elevator Reader.
To Setup the Card Readers
1. Click the link Configuration > Device > Door to access the door settings page. The screen
below shows the door settings main page.
2.
Click the add button to add a new door setting, the screen below appears. The door
function tab is the default page of the door settings menu.
3. Enter a description for the door in the Description field.
4. Select a door type from the door model dropdown list. The system provides two types of
door models namely Entry and Exit reader and Elevator reader.

Access Easy Controller 2.1 Door Settings (Card Reader Settings) | en 75
Entry and Exit Reader
All 64 readers are configured as Entry Reader allowing Door Access. When this mode is
selected you can define an Entry and Exit reader. A reader must be assigned to the Entry
reader and assigning an Exit reader is optional. This Exit Reader will follow the operational
behavior of the Entry Reader such as Door Open Timer and Door Strike Timer. If the Entry
Reader for this Exit Reader is also a Arm/Disarm Reader, you can also arm/disarm the same
Alarm Zone at the Exit Reader, as the Exit reader now has the operational behavior of the
Entry Reader.
Notice!
Once a Reader is configured as an Exit Reader, the Reader will only be accessible to Reader
Functions. The rest of the configuration, such as Reader Options, I/O Settings, PIN Code
Settings, Anti-Passback (APB) Settings and Dual Card Configuration will not be available until
it is changed to an Entry Reader, or an Entry and Arm/Disarm Reader.
Elevator Reader
Similar concept of door access right assignment in door Readers is also implemented in the
Elevator Reader floor assignment. However, there are a number of differences between an
Elevator Reader and an Entry & Exit Reader. The differences are listed below:-
– No Anti-Passback Setting
– Floor Output Settings instead of Door Output Settings and Door Input Settings
– Output Link can control only Invalid Card Output
– Cannot be used as a arming/disarming reader
Each item is explained in detail below.
– No Anti-Passback (APB) Setting
Elevator Readers do not have the function Anti-Passback (APB) Settings. This is because
it would be complicated to register a zone for the cardholder after entering the elevator
and flashing the card to the elevator reader, as the elevator has exit to more than one
floor. (You can consider the Elevator has more than one exit).
– Floor Output Settings instead of Door Output Settings and Door Input Settings
The settings of an Elevator Reader is also different from that of an Entry and Exit Reader.
Elevator Reader only has Floor Output Settings whereas an Entry and Exit Reader has
Door Output Settings and Door Input Settings. This can be seen in the screen below.

Reader Function
This section allows you to define the use of the Reader in an Entry and Exit Reader or an
Elevator Reader.
A screen of the Reader Function page is shown earlier.
Arm/Disarm
When this mode is selected, this can be used for Arming and Disarming a specific Alarm Zone.
Select an Alarm Zone from the Arm/Disarm drop-down list.
To arm an Alarm Zone using the same access Reader, a card holder with the Arm/Disarm
control just has to press the <0> key on the Keypad before presenting the card. During an Arm
state, all valid access cards will be disabled. Only a Arm/Disarm card (Card must be checked
at Card holder is able to Arm/Disarm under Card Assignment.) can disarm the Alarm Zone
and enable the door back to normal card access operation or manually disarm the alarm zone
through input control.

During Arm state, if the door is unlocked by Schedule or manually from Door control page, the
alarm zone will be disarmed first before door is unlocked. If the Reader is ONLY used for Arm/
Disarm purpose, you just have to assign the cardholder with Arm/Disarm function without
giving access right to the Reader. This will allow the cardholder to arm the Alarm Zone without
pressing the <0> key.
To disarm the alarm zone, present the arming card to the reader, if the card has access rights,
the door will be unlocked as well.
Notice!
In order for the Reader to work properly, additional wiring is required. Please consult your
System Installer for advice.
Entry
The door settings option consists of the following tabs:
– Function
– IO Configuration
– Advanced
– Video Setup
The reader function tab consists of two options namely Reader Options and Scheduling
Options. The two options are explained in detail in the following pages.
10.2.1
Reader Options
This section allows you to configure parameters in relation to the Reader. You can de-activate
the Reader to prevent access to anyone, or allow access by entering the Card Number
manually, and/or access in accordance to Holiday Schedules.
A screen of the Reader Options page is shown below.
The Reader Options are explained in detail below.
Turn off the reader
If selected, it turns the reader off and does not read any card. The door will be locked and all
access will be denied. For Arm/Disarm Reader, turning off the reader prevents arming and
disarming through the Reader.
Enable Keypad Only Operation
If selected, the cardholder need not present the card to gain access or Arm/Disarm the Alarm
Zone (see NOTICE 1). Instead, the cardholder has to key in the card number, (see NOTICE 2)
followed by its PIN code (Only if PIN function is required) using the keypad.
Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd Software Manual 2013.05 | V1.0.5 | F.01U.122.797
78 en | Door Settings (Card Reader Settings) Access Easy Controller 2.1
Notice!
NOTICE1: Cardholder can still present the card to gain access or Arm/Disarm. If PIN code is
required, cardholder has to present card followed by PIN code.
NOTICE2: Cardholder has to activate the key first before entering the card number.
On Holidays, follow holiday schedules (to work in conjunction with Card Functionality)
This mode works in conjunction with the Card assignment, Cardholder must abide by holiday
schedules. If both are selected and the current date is a holiday, the controller will apply the 4
sets of Schedule intervals setting in the Regular or Special Holiday, depending on which
Holiday Type the current date setting is on, for access right processing (for each cardholder).
Keypad Timeout
Keypad Time-out relates to the interval where the Controller expects key entry via the reader's
keypad from the cardholder. If the cardholder does not press any key within this duration or
when the cardholder forgets to quit from a specific operation, the Controller will return to the
normal mode to wait for card presentation or cardholder action during a PIN change or Manual
Card Number Entry operation. To edit the Keypad Time-out, enter the time-out value. The
keypad time-out can range from 0 - 255. The factory default is 10 seconds.
Enable Reader Lockout
When this mode is selected, there is a restriction on the number of times a cardholder with
invalid access can present the card at the Reader.
1. Select the checkbox beside Enable Reader Lockout. The screen below appears.
2. Choose the events that you would like to lock the cardholder out by selecting from Select
an illegal event and click the add
button.
3. The illegal events will appear on the List of selected illegal events to trigger lockout.
4. To remove the illegal event from the List of selected illegal events to trigger lockout,
highlight the event and click the delete button.
5. Enter the Number of illegal attempts prior to lockout. The default is set to 3. The number
of attempts can range from 0 to 255.
6. Enter the Duration between illegal attempts. The duration can range from 0 to 255
seconds. By default it is set to 10 seconds.
2013.05 | V1.0.5 | F.01U.122.797 Software Manual Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd
Access Easy Controller 2.1 Door Settings (Card Reader Settings) | en 79
7. Enter the Lockout duration. The lockout duration can range from 0 to 255 seconds. By
default it is set to 30 seconds.
In the above example, the cardholder will be lockout after the 3rd attempt when the
cardholder uses an Invalid Card to access the Reader, 3 times within 10 seconds. The
cardholder will not be able to access the Reader for 30 seconds, meaning the Reader will lock
out for 30 seconds. However, if the cardholder only attempted 2 times with an invalid card,
the Reader will reset the illegal attempt counter 10 seconds after the very first time the
cardholder uses an invalid card to access the Reader.
Notice!
Once a reader is lockout, it will not be accessible by any cardholder. The reader can be used
only after the reader lockout duration.
10.2.2
Scheduling Options
The AEC2.1 can be programmed to activate or de-activate the reader based on preprogrammed Schedules. This is particularly useful if the reader is used for controlling door
access and the door is required to be unlocked during certain period of the day, but to be
locked back at different time period for the same day.
The above scenario is a typical operation of a Main Entrance Door of a building. During the
time when staffs normally come to work, you might want to unlock the door throughout the
office working hours and automatically lock back after work.
A screen of the Scheduling Options page is shown in the section Reader Options.
Unlock door
If selected, the door controller by the particular reader is permanently unlocked. There is free
access to everyone. This function is applicable to Entry Reader. For Elevator Reader, this
function is replaced by a similar function Disable Elevator Reader, in the below section.
Disable Elevator Reader (For Elevator Reader Only)
If selected, the elevator that is controlled by the particular reader is permanently unlocked.
There is free access to everyone. This function is applicable to Elevator Reader only. For Entry
Reader, and Entry and Arm/Disarm Reader, it is replaced by a similar function Unlock door, in
the above section.
Schedules will not be used to unlock this door
If selected, the reader access mode will be activated. Gaining access will require the
cardholder to present the card and enter the PIN code (if PIN code is required).

Anti-Passback (APB) Settings
A screen of the Anti-Passback (APB) Settings page is shown below.
Anti-Passback (APB) function prevents a cardholder from passing the card to another person
to gain access to the door after accessing through it. It is normally implemented in sensitive
area having high security.
Three types of APB modes are available namely: - Time Based APB, Soft APB, and Full APB.
Each mode provides different level of security and is explained in detail in the following pages.
APB deactivated
If selected, indicates there is no APB setting for the readers in this AEC2.1. By default, APB
deactivated is checked.
Activate Time Based APB
Time Based APB relates to Entry Readers only. If selected, implies the Controller will not
accept the same card until the time set in 'Activate time based schedule' has elapsed.
After selecting the option, select the time from the dropdown list provided, the time period
ranges from 0 to 60 minutes.
Activate Soft APB
Soft APB mode requires a cardholder to present the card at the Entry Reader and Exit Reader
at all times. However, if the cardholder follows another person in or out the controlled area,
the transaction "Exit Granted, Soft APB" or "Access Granted, Soft APB" will be shown on the
cardholder's next exit or entry respectively. The administrator has to Reset APB in order to
clear the above transaction. Refer to Reset APB, page 72 for more information.
2013.05 | V1.0.5 | F.01U.122.797 Software Manual Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd
Access Easy Controller 2.1 Door Settings (Card Reader Settings) | en 87
Select the radio button besides 'Activate Soft APB' to activate this option. After selecting this
option, select the Entry Zone and Exit Zone from the dropdown for this mode to work
properly.
Activate Full APB
When this mode is selected, the cardholder must first enter using the Entry Reader in order to
exit from the corresponding Exit Reader. If cardholder violates this, access will be denied. The
administrator has to Reset APB before the cardholder can have access again. Refer to Reset
APB, page 72 for more information.
Select the radio button besides 'Activate full APB' to activate this option. After checking this
option, select the Entry Zone and Exit Zone from the dropdown for this mode to work
properly.
The main difference between the Soft APB and Full APB is that, for Soft APB, the cardholder is
allowed to exit the controlled area via the Exit Reader even if the cardholder entered the
controlled area previously by following another person. Full APB does not allow that.
Understanding the APB Zone
APB Zone is applicable to Soft APB and the Full APB mode. AEC2.1 is able to support up to
254 Soft APB Entry Zones, 254 Soft APB Exit Zone, 254 Full APB Entry Zone and 254 Full APB
Exit Zone.
Any Reader assigned to operate Soft APB mode or Full APB mode will be given an Entry Zone
and Exit Zone. When a cardholder presents card at Entry Reader #1, the system will verify
whether the cardholder has been registered in Zone 1. If the cardholder has been registered in
Zone 1, access is granted to the cardholder. When the cardholder opens the door to gain
access such that the door contact sensing is opened, the cardholder is registered to be in
Zone 2. However, if the cardholder is verified to be in other zones instead of Zone 1, access
will be denied to the cardholder.
Notice!
By default all APB settings are based on Door Sensor.
Select Door Contact as None in Device > Door > IO Configuration > Door Input Setting if you
do not want the the APB settings to be based on Door Sensor.
Notice!
In the case that the cardholder is verified to be in Zone 1 and is granted access but the
cardholder did not open the door to gain access, then the cardholder will not be registered in
Zone 2. The cardholder will only be registered in Zone 2 when access is granted. Using this
verification method, no card can bypass any zone to gain access to any other zone. In
addition, zone will only be registered into the card if the cardholder has opened the door
physically (based on door contact sensing).

After using 2 card to initiate the access, the system will switch back to single card access
If selected, it implies that after two cards are presented to the same Reader to unlock the
door, the Reader will switch back to single card access.
An example of the scenario would be as follows:
In the morning, 2 authorized personnel with dual card function have to present their card at
the high security door Reader before the door can be accessed normally. Subsequently the
rest of the employees would access the door using their own card. At the end of the day,
either of the 2 authorized personnel holding the dual card will have to revert the system back
to dual card mode by pressing the <3> key on the Keypad before presenting their cards.
Dual Card access at all time
If selected, implies that two cards should be presented to the Reader at all times to unlock
the door.
This mode works in conjunction with the Dual Card Assignment under the chapter Card
Assignment as to check if there is any order in the presentation of cards.
Notice!
When a reader is set with Dual card mode, the cardholders should be configured with either
1st card, 2nd card or don't care card. Accessing the door will require cardholder to present
their cards in the correct order. Example, 1st card followed by 2nd card.
