Adding Mx Doors

Doors associated with an Mx controller can be added initially through the New Mx controller wizard. However, once a controller has been created and configured, additional doors can be created and configured using the right-click options.

To add new doors to an existing Mx Controller:

  1. Open the Hardware System Tree window.
  2. Right-click an existing Mx controller.

    The option list appears.
  3. Select New Door...

    If you want to create a door that is slaved to another door, such as an exit door paired to an entry door, select New Slave Door...

    The MX Door property sheet appears.
  4. Enter values on the door property pages as required.
  5. When you are finished, click Save and Close.

    The new door appears in the hardware system tree below the selected controller. Elements associated with this door -- such as the readers, door contacts, and door locks -- appear.
  6. Edit these objects as required by double-clicking on the object and modifying the associated property sheet.
  7. Apply configuration changes to the system.
