MC16 Operating Manual 09.01.2020
Main Board
Main Board is logic object which is created automatically when MC16 controller is enrolled into system and
its hardware resources are detected. The Main Board represents MC16 module and it enables to define
such objects as Inputs, Outputs, Function keys and Local Commands with functions dedicated to the Main
Board. Tamper detectors for peripheral devices (MCT, MCX, PRT) are configured within the Main Board
inputs.
Tab Inputs
The tab enables to define Input objects on the level of Main board. Parameter and functions are listed in the
description of Input objects.
Tab Outputs
The tab enables to define Output objects on the level of Main board. Parameter and functions are listed in
the description of Output objects.
Tab Function keys
The tab enables to define Function key objects on the level of Main board. Parameter and functions are
listed in the description of Function key objects.
Tab Local commands
The tab enables to define Local commands objects on the level of Main board. Parameter and functions are
listed in the description of Local commands objects.
Access Terminals
Access Terminals are logic objects representing physical devices which can be used for user identification
and for starting action(s) by user. Each Access Terminal must be linked with physical reader, keypad,
touchpanel or other device which enables certain actions. Access Terminals are assigned to Access Points
within further configuration.
Area General
Text box Name – enables to name the terminal.
Text box Description – enables to enter custom description of the terminal.
Area Object
Parameter Object – enables selection of physical reader (CDI object).
Info box Device – specifies reader model.
Info box Name – specifies type of object.
Info box Comment – displays comment which was assigned to the reader (DEV) during low level
configuration.
Info box IP Address – specifies IP address of host device (controller) with connected reader.
Info box RS Address – specifies RS485 address of the reader.
Info box Hardware version – specifies hardware version of the reader.
Info box Firmware version – specifies firmware version of the reader.
Access Points
Access Point represents one or more equally treated Access Terminals. Access Point can be used for
access granting at Access Door or for starting other actions in the system e.g. Alarm Zone
arming/disarming, Time&Attendance registration, etc. Access Point can be a component of Access Zone as
Entry, Exit or Internal Point. In such scenario it can be used for anti-passback, occupancy limits, and
neighboring zones. Access Point does not have to be linked to Access Door and it can be used for
identification of users for the purpose of Time&Attendance, building automation control, authentication
before input (button) activation, etc. The identification of user at Access Point must be in accordance with
Authentication Policy (e.g. Card and PIN, Only card, etc.)
Read in/out doors can be linked with two Access Points each with single Access Terminal or with single
Access Point including two Access Terminals. In the first scenario Authorisations (access rights) can be
defined separately for each direction while in the second case there is a single Authorisation for the door
regardless of user movement direction.
