Activating Device and Creating Password
Purpose:
If the access control device is not activated, you are required to create the password to activate them before they
can be added to the software and work properly.
Steps:
1. On the Device for Management or Online Device area, check the device status (shown on Security column)
and select an inactive device.
2. Click the Activate button to pop up the Activation interface.
3. Create a password in the password field, and confirm the password.
STRONG PASSWORD RECOMMENDED– We highly recommend you create a strong password of your own
choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters, including upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and
special characters) in order to increase the security of your product. And we recommend you reset your
password regularly, especially in the high security system, resetting the password monthly or weekly can
better protect your product.
4. Click OK to create the password for the device. A “The device is activated.” window pops up when the
password is set successfully.
5. Perform the following steps to edit the device’s network parameters.
1) Click Modify Netinfo to pop up the Modify Network Parameter interface.
Note: This function is only available on the Online Device area. You can change the device IP address to
the same subnet with your computer if you need to add the device to the software.
2) Input the password set in step 3 and click OK to complete the network settings.
