1 About ACIS
Access Control Installer Station (ACIS) is a Web-based application used by the Installer during the set up of
Access Control System and its configuration.
Each client will have an account. The premises of the client (where access control system is going to be
implemented) would be divided into one or more sections (A section is an area that divides the account into
logical configurable units). Each section is managed independently. When an account is created, a Main Section
and a Main Installer are created. The Main Installer has access to all the sections in the account and can create
new installers. An employee of an installer company would go to the customer site and do the physical setup
and wiring, installation and configuration of the devices.
This application will enable you to configure devices for each section. The devices that you configure from ACIS
are:
• Proxy: Proxy is the communicating device between the Access Control Controller Board and
Risco Server Platform
• ACCB known as Controller takes the access control decisions. You can configure Controller from
ACIS.
• Access Control Input/Output Board: The ACIB is connected to the ACCB, when you configure
doors, relays and sensors, ACIB is configured. You can upgrade the ACIB version from ACIS.
• Doors: You can configure Door settings in ACIS.
• Relays: You can connect Door Lock, Alarm and Devices on the Relay. You can configure the relay
setting from ACIS.
• Sensors: You can connect any type of Sensor to the ACCB. You can configure the sensor setting
from ACIS
• Readers: Readers are devices that read the card or any data and send message to ACIB. You can
configure the reader settings from ACIS.
You have to register and configure Proxy and Controller and configure Doors. You can upgrade the firmware
version. You can create new sections and create installers.
ACIS is available in following languages:
• English
• French
• Italian
• Hebrew
When you log on to ACIS, you need to perform the following tasks in order to start the RAC system:
1. Register a Proxy. You boot up a Proxy using a USB and register it using its unique reference ID.
2. After the Proxy is registered, you need to configure Proxy.
3. After you configure Proxy, you register Controller. A controller is booted through a Proxy. All the
unregistered controllers are available to be registered.
Uncontrolled when printed © RISCO Group 1
User Manual for ACIS Version
4. After registering, you Configure Controller and create doors as required.
5. After doors are created, you can configure sensors and relays as required. Each door has four relays and
four sensors and two readers. A door can accommodate up to four readers.
6. The relays and sensors that are not connected to any door are external relays and sensors. You configure
external relays and sensors along with controller in the Configure Controller screen.
7. After the proxy is registered and configured, you may perform Built-in Test for Proxy, which provides the
Memory information, CPU Information, Virtual Memory Statistics, Stack Memory, RAM Information, Flash
Information, Active/Backup Proxy Connections and Hardware Information about the Proxy.
8. After the controller is registered and configured, you may perform Built-in Test for Controller, which
provides the Memory information, CPU Information, Virtual Memory Statistics, Stack Memory, RAM
Information, Flash Information, Active/Backup Proxy Connections, Access Authorization Data Count, ACIB
Communication Status and Hardware Information about the Controller.
9. You can upgrade Proxy, ACCB, ACIB, and Reader versions using Firmware Download.
After these tasks are performed, there are some generic tasks that you can do as per your requirement:
You can add a Template Proxy. A Template Proxy is not an actual device but created in case you want to
configure the Proxy settings and keep it ready till the time an actual device is available. When you obtain the
Real Proxy, you can replace the Template Proxy with the Real Proxy. Similarly, you can add and configure a
Template Controller and replace it with the real controller whenever required.
You can transfer proxies between sections provided there are no devices connected to a Proxy. You can transfer
controller between sections. The default configurations for the controller are applied. The doors created for the
controller in the original section are deleted.
You can create new sections in the account. The Main Installer can create other installers and assign sections to
them. Only the main installer has access to all the sections in the account. You can view the section level reports
for Proxy Configuration, Controller Configuration, Door Configurations and other system parameters in ACIS.
The procedures to perform each of these tasks are explained in this manual.

2 Getting Started with ACIS
ACIS is a Web-based application. This section describes how to logon to ACIS, log off from ACIS and perform all
tasks in the application. The ACIS user is known as Installer. When a new account is created (for a company that
has bought the RAC System), the operator specifies the installer company that will install the Risco Access
Control (RAC) system at the client side. The installer has a company reference ID and is assigned accounts where
he can install RAC system. The installer manually installs the hardware devices at the client site and then uses
ACIS Web application to configure them with the system.
2.1 Before Using ACIS
Before using ACIS, ensure that you have verified the following:
• You have the correct URL where ACIS is deployed.
• You have the correct user name, password and your installer company reference number to log on to
ACIS.
• To register the devices, you need to have the hardware devices and their details (such as proxy
reference number) with you.
• The devices must be boot up to be able to configure through ACIS.
2.2 Logging on to ACIS
When the operator creates an installer company successfully, then a system-generated email with the User
Name, OTP Device ID and Company reference ID is sent to installer’s email address. The Operator creates a main
installer. The main installer can create other installers.
To log on to ACIS:
1. Enter the URL of the ACIS application in your browser. The URL is in the format:
http://<server name where ACIS is installed>/ACIS

3 Registering Proxy
You have to set up the firmware and then configure the firmware with the RSP. The devices that are setup are
Proxy, Controllers, ACIB, Relays, Sensors and Readers. Refer to the Glossary for the explanation of each of the
devices.
Each reader is connected to an Access Control Input-Output Board (ACIB). Up to four readers can be connected
to one ACIB. The ACIB is connected to the Access Control Controller board (ACCB) and up to two ACIB’s can be
connected to the board. ACCB stores the actual configurations. All the access decisions are taken by ACCB. ACCB
communicates with the Risco Service platform (RSP) through a Proxy. Proxy provides a communication channel
between the ACCB/ACIB and the RSP. This includes proxy to RSP (like events) and RSP to ACCB (configuration
updates) communication
Each section must have at least one primary proxy and can have one standby Proxy. The standby proxy serves as
a backup device in case of failure of the primary proxy, hence, it is recommended to have one stand by Proxy.
Each Proxy can have only one Stand by Proxy.
You have to register a proxy for a section and then only then it will be functional. In case the authentication of
users is through LDAP, then proxy will connect and authenticate through the onsite LDAP server, GSM, WN,
PSTN and other networks.
A proxy uses LAN/WAN first to communicate with the RSP Server. In case LAN/WAN is not available, then a proxy
will first connect to a dial-up (PSTN) connection and if that is not available, to a GSM connection.
You can perform the following actions:
• Register Proxy
• Add Template Proxy
• Transfer Proxy
• Replace Proxy
3.1 Register Proxy
Whenever you create a section, you need to register the proxy to it. For each section in the account, you can
have multiple proxies. Proxies need to be registered and assigned to the sections in order for them to
communicate with the RSP. When we select an account, all the sections in the account are displayed. Each
section displays the total number of proxies, controllers and doors assigned to the section. The number of
disconnected devices are displayed too.
To register Proxy:
1. Log on to ACIS. The home page appears.

4 Registering Controller
The Access Control Controller Board (ACCB) handles all access control logic in the RAC system. It can work
independently from the ACIS and the RSP servers. They supervise the Readers, as well as the Sensors and the
Relays related to the access control.
The ACCB has the following:
• Interface to two Access Control Input/Output board (ACIB)
• Interface to LAN network which connects it using a Proxy to the RSP Servers
• Programming storage and storage for historical events.
An ACCB is connected to the Access Control Input Output Board (ACIB). An ACCB can be connected to up to two
ACIB’s. Up to two doors can be connected to an ACIB. You can also attach a single to an ACIB. Each ACCB can be
connected to four doors, eight relays, eight sensors and four readers through ACIB’s. ACCB stores the actual
configurations. All the access decisions are taken by ACCB. ACCB communicates with RSP server through a Proxy.
You can perform the following actions:
• Register Controller
• Configure Controller
• Add Template Controller
• Transfer Controller
• Replace Controller
• Delete Controller
4.1 Register Controller
To register a controller, you need to search the controller based on its MAC address. You may also perform a
