Generic Input Device

·         Normal state: The type of device contact:

o          Normally Open: the device is normally open.

o          Normally Closed: the device is normally closed.

·         Supervised: Defines if the device is supervised or unsupervised.

Generic Output Device

·         Name: The template name.

·         Model: The device model.

·         Vendor: The device vendor or manufacturer.

·         Description: A text description of the device.

·         Activation Time (ms): When the command Timed Activate Relay is invoked, this property defines the number of milliseconds the generic output is activated.

Note:  Starting with CPAM Release 1.1.0, generic output and lock devices must use the physical wire connections to the gateway or expansion module to define if the device is normally open or normally closed. In CPAM Release 1.0.3 or earlier, this setting could also be made in software. If you are upgrading from CPAM Release 1.0.3 or earlier, verify that devices are correctly wired to the module as normally open or normally closed. See the Cisco Physical Access Gateway User Guide for more information.

Glass-Break

·         Sensor input: The type of device contact:

o       Normally Open: the device is normally open.

o       Normally Closed: the device is normally closed.

·         Supervised: Defines if the device is supervised or unsupervised.

·         Sensor state: The default state of the device.

Lock

·         Name: The template name.

·         Model: The device model.

·         Vendor: The device vendor or manufacturer.

·         Description: A text description of the device.

Note:   Starting with CPAM Release 1.1.0, generic output and lock devices must use the physical wire connections to the gateway or expansion module to define if the device is normally open or normally closed. In CPAM Release 1.0.3 or earlier, this setting could also be made in software. If you are upgrading from CPAM Release 1.0.3 or earlier, verify that devices are correctly wired to the module as normally open or normally closed. See the Cisco Physical Access Gateway User Guide for more information.

Motion Sensor

·         Name: The template name.

·         Model: The device model.

·         Vendor: The device vendor or manufacturer.

·         Description: A text description of the device.

·         Normal state: The type of device contact:

o       Normally Open: the device is normally open.

o       Normally Closed: the device is normally closed.

·         Supervised: Defines if the device is supervised or unsupervised.

·         Device state: The default state of the device.

Power Fail

·         Normal state: The type of device contact:

o       Normally Open: the device is normally open.

o       Normally Closed: the device is normally closed.

·         Supervised: Defines if the device is supervised or unsupervised.

·         Power fail state: The default state of the device.

REX

Note:   REX is an abbreviation for request to exit. A REX is a type of door hardware, typically a button that allows people to exit through an access point without using a badge or PIN.

·         Rex input: The type of device contact:

o       Normally Open: the device is normally open.

o       Normally Closed: the device is normally closed.

·         Device state: The default state of the device.

·         Supervised: Defines if the device is supervised or unsupervised.

·         Push button: Indicates a push button type of REX.

·         Push button type: Indicates the kind of push button REX.

·         ADA enabled: Indicates if ADA is enabled or not. If ADA is enabled, ADA timespec multiplier property is applied on the door when REX is activated.

Reader

·         Reader type:

o       Card Reader

o       Card and Keypad Reader

o       Keypad Reader

Note:    The device does not support a reader device template with the type keypad reader.

·         Protocol: Only Wiegand is supported.

·         Data format: Only Standard Wiegand is supported.

·         Credential template: Set of credential templates to be used to validate the cards presented to this reader.

·         Category: Entry or Exit reader.

·         Reader connector: Type of connector Ten Wire/Five Wire

·         Use hold pin: Flag specifying if the Hold control line is part of the Reader. Not all readers have or use the Hold control line.

·         Credential order: If the reader is a Card and Keypad Reader this field specifies the credentials order.

Note:  While configuring the reader type as Card and Keypad, the user should declare a PIN for the badge that will be associated with this template. If not, any PIN entered by the user will grant access to the door associated with the template.

·         Maximum timeout (sec): If the reader includes a keypad, this field specifies the maximum time to wait for the user to enter the pins using the keypad.

·         ADA enabled: Specifies if it is an ADA enabled reader. If ADA is enabled, the ADA timespec multiplier door property is used when a valid card with ADA flag set is presented to the reader.

·         Number of duress keys: If the reader has a keypad, this field specifies the length of duress key. If the duress key or triggers as configured on the door is “89898”, then the value of this field is 5.

·         Number of pin keys: If the reader has a keypad, this field specifies the length of the pin to expect.

·         Keys buffered: Specifies if the pins entered are transferred in one frame (keys buffered) or in individual frames (keys not buffered). This is field is set based what is supported by the reader/keypad.

Tamper

·         Tamper input: The type of device contact:

o       Normally Open: the device is normally open.

o       Normally Closed: the device is normally closed.

·         Supervised: Defines if the device is supervised or unsupervised.

·         Tamper state: The default state of the device.
