Verkada AC12 is capable of supporting Verkada Readers over RS-485 and standard Wiegand readers.
The following diagram shows the wire types that are recommended for use with the Verkada AC12.
You must use a UL294 certified injector that is compliant with IEEE 802.3 PoE standards to power AC12.
You must use twisted pair for power (+/-) and twisted pair for the data (D0/D1 or A/B).
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, local codes, and the
authorities having jurisdiction..
Required Network Settings
An Ethernet connection with DHCP must be used to connect the AC12 to the Local Area Network
(LAN). You also need to configure firewall settings to communicate with the AC12.
● TCP port 443
● UDP port 123 (NTP time synchronization)
● Multi-MAC address presence for single port in passthrough mode

Installation
Recommended Wiring
You must use shield wiring with the AC12, particularly for the card reader:
● Connect the drain wire (bare metal) from the reader cable bundle to the drain wire in the shielded
cabling. Then, connect the drain wire at the other end of the shielded cabling to AC12 drain wire
screw.
● Improper grounding and shielding may result in unintended product behavior.
You must use a Cat 5e or better shielded cable for PoE In and Out ports.
