Door Control Unit User Manual
Updated until firmware 404p - 32 -
times for each person. These can be linked to two security cameras
on each side of the door to record entry and exit events.
3. Can I monitor the Door Control Unit with AKCess Pro Server Software
without a securityProbe?
The Door Control Unit is a standalone product. The AKCess Pro Server
is required to configure the Users of the system and the Intelligent
Sensors and cameras. However, once configured the Door Control Unit will run
independently without the need for a direct connection to the AKCess
Pro Server.
4. If my requirements are to monitor 50+ Racks with the Cabinet Control Units. Is this
right that I need ONLY 1 Door Control Unit for this? What happens if the power is
cut? How many CCU’s can I daisy chain off of 1 DCU?
The Door Control Unit has x2 Front Panel RJ45 Expansion Ports. Each expansion cable
has a run length of 300m. However, as Expansion Units are connected in Series, if one
unit encounters a communication problem all 50+ units would be un-accessible. Note that
unless there was a power outage the cabinet lock WOULD remain locked.
A best practice, we would suggest you divide the CCU‟s up over a sufficient number of
DCU‟s to prevent widespread inaccessibility in the event that a problem occurs on a
single unit.
The best practice for daisy-chaining CCU‟s to the DCU‟s is 25 per string. That means 50
CCU‟s in total per DCU. The reason for this is to reduce the risk of chain communication
failures.
5. The Key Cards we are to use with the AKCess Pro Software and the USB Desktop
Card Reader. Can I define a Master Key Card for all Racks?
The AKCess Pro Server has the ability to set up Groups of Users. These can be
configured to your requirements such as Super Administrator, Regular Employee,
Cleaner and so on.
Each Group of Users can have their own specific range of accessible cabinets or doors.
These can also be tailored to specific access schedules.
You can get a better idea of this by clicking on the Access Control tab of our AKCess Pro
Server web page http://www.akcp.com/products/akcess-pro-server/*
6. On every Cabinet Control Unit I can connect 2 sensors. The sensor I can control
with the Door Control Unit without a securityProbe – is this correct? How do I
configure the sensors on a DCU and CCU?
The Sensors need to be configured from the AKCess Pro Server Application. There is no
User Interface on the Door Control Unit to configure Sensors. However, we have included
the ability to create sensor notifications stored locally to the Door Control Unit.
7. What license do I need (AKCess Pro Sever Software. Do I need 1 license for 1 DCU
and CCU? What are the costs for 1 license?
