Understanding Controller and Door Configurations
This chapter describes the concepts used to configure controllers, doors, and their respective templates.
A door configuration is a collection of devices, such as locks and readers, connected to a controller and configured in ICPAM. To configure a door, add a controller to ICPAM and then assign one or more door configurations to the controller using the pre-defined door templates. Door configuration templates include common sets of devices and configurations to simplify access control configuration. Controllers and the associated doors can be configured either before or after the controller is added to the network.
Tip See Installation and Configuration Summary for a quick summary of tasks.
Door configurations can only include devices not assigned to another door. The configuration wizard only displays unassigned devices. See System Configuration Settings for more information.
