To add a new Identiv EM-100 controller with an optional Exit Reader Expansion Module (which supports both the standard entry reader and an exit reader) to your ICPAM system using a controller template, perform the steps in the following procedure.
Note: Controllers can also be automatically added to the configuration. See Provisioned (Pre-Populated) vs. Discovered Controller Configurations.
Step 1 If necessary, create the locations for the new controller’s door and its devices. (If the locations have already been created, skip to Step 2.)
a. Select Doors > Door/Location-based Hardware.
b. To create a new site, click the Add Base… button in the toolbar.
c. To create a sub-location, right-click on a location and choose New [Element] from the pop-up menu.
d. To change the properties of an element, right-click on a location and choose Edit from the pop-up menu.
Tip You can create any combination of location elements. Door , and door configurations can be assigned to any level of the hierarchical tree. For more information, see Creating the Location Map.
Step 2 Open the Hardware Tree module by selecting Doors > Hardware - Tree, and if necessary select View > Device.
Note See Viewing Doors and Devices in the Hardware Tree View for more information.
Step 3 Expand the Driver Manager portion of the tree so the appropriate Identiv EM-100 Driver is visible, then right-click on it and choose the New Identiv EM-100 Controller Wizard… command from the pop-up menu.
Note Controllers can also be automatically added to the configuration. See Provisioned (Pre-Populated) vs. Discovered Controller Configurations.
The Choose Template for Controller wizard appears.
Step 4 In the Template drop-down list, select the EM-100-Single Door, Two Readers template.
Step 5 Click Next.
The next page of the controller wizard appears.
Step 6 Specify the new controller's name:
a. Name: type a descriptive name for this controller, which must be unique within the Identiv EM-100 Driver portion of the Hardware Tree.
b. Append device model to the name: Leave this field checked if you want to have the text “EM-100R2” added to the end of the controller’s name, or clear the check box if you do not want that text added to the controller’s name.
Step 7 Click Next.
The third wizard page appears.
Step 8 Specify the new controller’s location.
a. Check the box for the Inherit location from parent option if you want this controller to inherit its location from the location specified for the Identiv EM-100 device driver.
b. If the hierarchical location map has been defined for your ICPAM system, then you can select this controller’s location from the Location drop-down list.
To view the available locations as the hierarchical location map (instead of a flat drop-down list), click the Choose… button.
To clear the current value displayed in the Location drop-down list, click the Clear button.
For more information about locations, see Viewing Doors and Devices by Location and Creating the Location Map.
c. (Optional) Type the Latitude and Longitude coordinates for this controller's location. If this controller is attached to a Network Time Protocol server, the Latitude and Longitude fields are automatically populated.
Step 9 Click Next.
The fourth page of the wizard appears.
Step 10 Supply the following values.
a. IP Address: type the designated IP v4 address
for this controller. (Hostname is not supported for an EM-100 controller.)
This value must match the value specified using the EM-100 controller’s
built-in configuration utility. For details, see “Configuring an EM-100
Controller’’ in the ICPAM Installation
Guide.
b. (Optional) In the MAC address field, type the Media Access Control address of this controller, which is a unique 12-digit hexadecimal number (such as 00:06:8E:40:XX:XX) plus 5 colons separating the 6 pairs of hex digits. The MAC address is located on the EM-100 controller. The MAC address is printed on a label located on the bottom edge of the EM-100 controller.
c. Time Zone: From the drop-down list, select the time zone where this controller is currently located.
For details on this feature, refer to Controller Calendar and Time Zone Page.
Step 11 Click Next.
The fifth page of the wizard appears.
Step 12 (Optional) Enter configuration values for each door.
Note If door configurations are not included in the controller template, complete these instructions, and continue to Subscribing a service to a VoIP Phone.
a. In the Name field, type a name for this door, which must be unique within the Identiv EM-100 Driver portion of the Hardware Tree. (If your site does not follow a specific naming convention, you might want to use a descriptive name such as “Enter QA Lab”.)
b. From
the Access mode drop-down list, select the access mode for this door’s
entry reader. Depending on your System Configuration settings, the
choices might include Card only, PIN only, Card and PIN, and Card or PIN.
Note that to use one of the PIN access modes, the card reader must be equipped
with a numeric keypad, and user credentials must include a PIN code. For
more information, refer to Configuring
an EM-100 Controller with the Desired Access Mode.
c. If this door is equipped with a contact switch, select the type of supervision to be applied for that switch, from the Door contact supervision drop-down list.
d. If this door has an associated Request to Exit (REX) button, select the type of supervision to be applied for that button, from the REX supervision drop-down list.
e. From the Keypad type drop-down list, select the appropriate value for this exit reader. The choices are [no keypad], 4-bit burst mode, 8-bit burst mode, or Mercury.
f. Click Next.
Step 13 On
the resulting Door 2 page of the wizard, configure the exit reader (for
this EM-100 single-door controller):
a. In the Name field, type a name for this exit reader, which must be unique within the Identiv EM-100 Driver portion of the Hardware Tree. (If your site does not follow a specific naming convention, you might want to use a descriptive name such as “Exit QA Lab”.)
b. From the Access mode drop-down list, select the access mode for this door’s exit reader. Depending on your System Configuration settings, the choices might include Card only, PIN only, Card and PIN, and Card or PIN.
Note that to use one of the PIN access modes, the card reader must be equipped with a numeric keypad, and user credentials must include a PIN code. For more information, refer to Configuring an EM-100 Controller with the Desired Access Mode.
– The Door contact supervision drop-down list is disabled on this page about the exit reader; its value is specified on the previous Door 1 page about the entry reader.
– The REX supervision drop-down list is disabled on this page about the exit reader; its value is specified on the previous Door 1 page about the entry reader.
c. From the Keypad type drop-down list, select the appropriate value for this exit reader. The choices are [no keypad], 4-bit burst mode, 8-bit burst mode, or Mercury.
Step 13 Click Finish to close this wizard.
This new controller and its door (with both an entry reader and an exit reader) are added to the hardware tree.
Step 14 (Optional). If necessary, modify the door and device properties.
a. Open the Locations hierarchical map by selecting the Doors > Location & Doors command.
b. Expand the hierarchy as needed and navigate to the new door. (The door appears where you specified on the Location page of the wizard for adding a new EM-100 controller, in Step 6 of this procedure.)
c. Open the door’s properties window, either by double-clicking on it, or by right-clicking on it and choosing Edit... from the pop-up menu.
For example:

· System Configuration Settings
· Door Configuration Properties
· Device Configuration Properties
Tip You can also modify doors using the Hardware Tree module. Doors are listed under the logical device driver, or in the Hierarchical Locations view.
Step 15 Download the configuration to this new EM-100 controller, by right-clicking on that controller (in either the Hardware Tree or the Locations hierarchy) and choosing the Apply Configuration Changes command from the pop-up menu.
For more on this, refer to Applying Configuration Changes to Controllers.
