ACTsmart2 Operating and Installation Manual Rev. 1.3
Programming a Network System
Up to 8 ACTsmart2 devices can be connected on the network. See the ACTsmart2 Network Installation
diagram to complete the necessary connections.
Programming Door Numbers
To allow some users through a door and prevent access to other users, each ACTsmart2 on the network
must be given a door number (1-8). An ACTsmart2 Proximity Only unit (1070) requires a door number
if it is to be programmed with advanced options.
Set a Master
Set one device on the network to be the Master. This device will be used for programming the entire
network and should be a PIN and Prox unit (1080). The Master is automatically assigned door number
1. The other ACTsmart2’s on the network (door numbers 2-8) are referred to as Slave Units. No
programming is allowed on a Slave (except to default it - see Restoring Factory Defaults).
Enter programming mode. Press buttons 3,8 followed by 1 to set the device to be the Master. The rest of
the units on the network are assigned door numbers by following the procedure below:
Assign Door Numbers:
Assigning Users to Doors
When each ACTsmart2 has been given a unique door number, then users may be given access through
specific doors. In most programming menus, there is an optional step to program specific doors. For
example, when programming a Card Batch, the user may select which doors the Card Batch applies to
(Step 4 in Adding Card Batch, see above). Skip this optional step if programming is to apply to all doors
on the network.
Checking Network Programming
The door number of any ACTsmart2 on the network can be found using the following menus. This is a
useful check to perform to verify communications from the Master to the Slave units and to check that
the Door Numbers have been assigned correctly.
Step Keypad Entry Operation
1 60 Assign Door Numbers
2 Any ACTsmart2 units without a door number start to beep. The
number of beeps is determined by the door number to be
programmed. Eg. If door 5 is to be programmed, all unassigned
ACTsmart2s will beep 5 times.
3 Present card or press This operation should take place on the desired door number. The
key on Slave ACTsmart2 stops beeping.
4 Repeat step 2 until all ACTsmart2s have been assigned a door number.
