The ICPAM 2.1 release introduced support for Identiv’s EM-100 single-door controller, which provides support for a single reader. The ICPAM 2.2 release introduced support for the optional Exit Reader Expansion Module, which enables you to add a second (exit) reader to the door of an EM-100 controller. Having an exit reader makes it possible to better track a person’s location or movements, and provides more flexibility when defining and enforcing anti-passback areas. For detailed information about installing this optional module, see “Connecting an Exit Reader Expansion Module” in the ICPAM Installation Guide.
If you are adding a new EM-100 controller with an optional Exit Reader Expansion Module to your ICPAM system, see Adding an EM-100 Controller with an Exit Reader Expansion Module.
If you are adding an optional Exit Reader Expansion Module to an EM-100 controller which is already part of your ICPAM system, then after installing the module, you must configure it by performing the following steps.
Step 1 Open the Hardware Tree module by selecting Doors > Hardware - Tree, and if necessary select View > Device.
Step 2 Expand the tree under
the Driver Manager > Identiv EM-100 Driver so the elements
of the desired EM-100 controller are visible, then right-click on the
element and choose the New Slave Door…
command. For example:
Step 3 On the resulting Slave Door dialog, configure the new 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 Engineering Lab through South door”.)
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 new exit reader; this configuration value was specified on the Door 1 page when this controller was added to your ICPAM system (with only the standard entry reader).
The REX supervision drop-down list is disabled on this page about the new exit reader; this configuration value was specified on the Door 1 page when this controller was added to your ICPAM system (with only the standard 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.
d. Click Finish to close this wizard.
Step 4 Check the Hardware Tree to ensure that the new exit reader appears beneath the selected EM-100 controller.
Step 5 Restart the Identiv EM-100 Driver, to activate the new exit reader.
The sequence to create a slave door for the Mx controller is similar. For more on this, refer to Adding New Slave Doors and Adding MX Doors.
