Doors associated with the Mx controller can be considered either master or slave. Slave doors possess the same reader values as the master on which they depend. An example of a slave door would be an exit reader on the other side of an entry reader, sharing the same relays and contacts as the master.
To add a slave door:
Enter a new slave door name. A unique number
will be assigned by a system. This is the reader ID of the door (by
default the slave door ID will start from 9).
The
reader protocol will be set to Wiegand
(via Match DS47) indicating
that it takes the same configuration as the primary or master reader.
Click Finish.
The
created slave door (Second Reader) is initially in an unknown state.
To
bring up the second reader the controller needs to be disconnected
then reconnected using the right-click option list.
