For each of the doors, specify if the lock should be configured as ''fail-safe'' or ''fail-secure''.
The A9161 controller has only one relay to control a lock. Specify which door it belongs to by using the dropdown list.

It is also necessary to specify whether it should be configured as ''fail-safe'' or ''fail-secure'':
* ''Fail-secure'' means that the door is locked if the power fails (it is secure from intruders on the outside). This is the default.
* ''Fail-secure'' means that the door is locked if the power fails (it is secure from intruders on the outside). This is the default.
* ''Fail-safe'' means that the door is unlocked if the power fails (it is safe for people on the inside, e.g. in the event of a fire).
* ''Fail-safe'' means that the door is unlocked if the power fails (it is safe for people on the inside, e.g. in the event of a fire).


NOTE: In order for fail-secure and fail-safe to work as intended it is important to connect the wires from the lock to the relay in the correct way. Minus (-) from the lock should be connected to minus (-) on the controller and plus (+) from the lock should be connected to NO on the controller.

A door monitor can be used. A common type of door monitor is a magnet sensor. The door monitor senses if the door is open or closed and has two purposes:
The door monitor senses if the door is open or closed. A common type of door monitor is a magnet sensor. A "door forced open" alert will be generated if the door is opened without a prior ''access granted'' event (currently, the A9188 does not support ''open too long'' alerts).


* A ''door open too long'' alert will be generated if the door is open too long (configurable for each door).
* A "door forced open" alert will be generated if the door is opened without a prior ''access granted'' event, such as presenting a valid credential to the reader or using the REX button (see below).

For each door, specify if an open circuit means that the door is open or closed. The default is open circuit = open door.

Make the connection between monitor input and door by using the dropdown list. Also specify if an open circuit means that the door is open or closed. The default is open circuit = open door.

The A9188 does not support REX (Request to EXit) devices.
REX (Request to EXit) devices are inputs that trigger by either opening or closing a circuit. A typical REX device is an "open button" that unlocks (or more exactly; grants access to) the door from the inside. One REX device can be attached to an A9161 controller.


[[File:A9161_rex_settings.png|REX settings]]


Make the connection between the REX device and door by using the dropdown list and specify whether opening or closing the circuit should trigger the request to exit.

A special case of using a REX device / input is where a user opens the door manually and the door has a door monitor. Normally, this will trigger the ''door forced open'' alert, but this may not be the desired behavior. In this case, it is possible to use a specific REX device that will trigger as soon as the door starts to open and configure it as either ''Closing circuit allows'' or ''Opening circuit allows''. The effect of this is to prevent the ''door forced open'' alert to be generated.

=== IO port settings ===

When used with Telcred Access manager, the A9161 controller has two configurable IO ports. These ports can be used with [[Commands and triggers]]; an input port can act as a trigger, and a command can activate an output port. In order to use the IO ports, they first need to be configured.

[[File:ioport_settings_a9161.png|IO port settings]]


Each IO port can be configured either as ''input'' or ''output''. It is also necessary to define what the normal state of the port is: ''ground'' or ''open''. For more information on the use of IO ports, see the section on [[Commands and triggers]].

Note that the A9161 has outputs that can be connected to an indicator for ''Door open too long'' alarm (for other controllers, this alarm is typically indicated by the reader). Corresponding outputs for ''Door forced open'' alarm do not exist.

Door

The A9188 controller can control up to eight doors:


Doors


Select the doors from the dropdown list (you may need to create them first).

Lock settings

For each of the doors, specify if the lock should be configured as fail-safe or fail-secure.


Lock settings


  • Fail-secure means that the door is locked if the power fails (it is secure from intruders on the outside). This is the default.
  • Fail-safe means that the door is unlocked if the power fails (it is safe for people on the inside, e.g. in the event of a fire).

NOTE: In order for fail-secure and fail-safe to work as intended it is important to connect the wires from the lock to the relay in the correct way.

Monitor settings

The door monitor senses if the door is open or closed. A common type of door monitor is a magnet sensor. A "door forced open" alert will be generated if the door is opened without a prior access granted event (currently, the A9188 does not support open too long alerts).


Monitor settings


For each door, specify if an open circuit means that the door is open or closed. The default is open circuit = open door.

Reader settings

The A9188 does not support readers and can only be used to remote open doors.

REX settings

The A9188 does not support REX (Request to EXit) devices.

Pin chart

After saving or editing the settings for an A9188 controller, Telcred Access Manager generates a pin chart that summarizes the physical connections on the controller. The pin chart is accessed by clicking the link in the lower right hand corner of the controller detail screen:
