    VP-II X or server. When there are more than 64 units of the VP-II X running in the same network, a VP-II X cannot be a master and the server must be run as a master. A VP-II X, when it is configured to a master, can only handle up to 63 slave units.

  • Page 8: Networking Vp-Ii X

    2.2 Networking VP-II X VP-II X units are networked through a TCP/IP network, and all databases of each unit are automatically synchronized. Although up to 64 units can be networked without a server computer, it is recommended that the application software (NetControl-X) running on a server be used in order to utilize the enhanced features of the VP-II X system such as detailed User management, anti-pass back, events, etc.

  • Page 17 Level 3 or higher. The Personal Security Level can be adjusted for individual Users based on their specific requirements. Each VP-II X unit has a security level (System Level), and it can be individually assigned to each User’s (Personal Security Level). When verifying a User, the VP-II X uses either Personal Security Level if assigned or System Level if the Personal Security Level is not assigned to the User.

  • Page 18: Deletion

    For card Users, normally a card User is deleted by its Wiegand PIN when it is enabled; The VP-II X will delete a card User by using its card number. To match the card number exactly, VP-II X has to be set to the proper Wiegand format in the system.

  • Page 19: Verification

    4. Verification Verification is typically made by (1) entering a PIN or presenting a card, and (2) place a hand. When a PIN is entered or a card is presented, a sub-menu appears at the bottom of the screen as shown in the above figure.

  • Page 20: Password User Verification

    To verify a password User, (1) enter a PIN or present a card, (2) press F2 to proceed with a password input, and (3) Place a hand and push the trigger switch (VP-II X does not verify a hand but the User is required to trigger the switch).

  • Page 23: Multiple Template Assignment

    This eliminates the need to re-enter existing information such as User name (in the NetControl-X database), expiration time, etc, this information will all be maintained in the database. This function is not applicable for smart card Users. For a smart card User please see “Chapter 2 5.2.3 Smart Card Update”...

  • Page 24: Chapter 3 Environment Setup

    1. Network Setup It is required that a proper network environment is set in order to run the VP-II X in the TCP/IP network. An IP address (including subnet mask and gateway), master IP address, server IP address (if used), and slave information (only for master unit) must be set.

  • Page 25: Server Setting

    Master IP is not required if the Master Mode is selected. Please make sure that there is only one master unit in the same network. If the server (NetControl-X) is set to master, all VP-II X units must be set to be slaves. In this case you must enter the server IP address as the Master IP.

    VP-II X via RS232 (or RS485; an optional RS485 driver board needs to be installed at both VP-II X and XG to use RS485 interface). The VP-II XG has a relay output to connect an electrical lock and digital input ports for door status monitoring and exit button interface.

  • Page 29: Daylight Saving Time

    2.5 Daylight Saving Time If you are in daylight saving time zone, you can set VP-II X time to be adjusted by setting the start time and expire time of daylight saving time. Once set, the VP-II X’s time will be adjusted automatically based on the timeframe set.

  • Page 31: Aux Settings

    To allow for two Wiegand Input ports, the VP-II X AUX port can be configured to also accept Wiegand Input. This allows for a second Wiegand reader to be used as an exit reader. When VP-II X AUX port is set to Wiegand Input, the VP-II X will work in bypass mode and will check only the following user verification options: 1) User Expiration Date, 2) User Activation and 3) Gate Time zone.

  • Page 32: Operation Settings

    Manager Menu > 2. Operational Settings > 2. Test Mode If the Test Mode is released, the VP-II X does not show the Test Mode menu to enroll an Installer anymore. There are two options in releasing the Test Mode.

  • Page 33: Sleep Mode

    3.4 Sleep Mode VP-II X enters into a sleep mode when there is no User activity for the set period if enabled (factory default). It is not only to minimize power consumption but also to maximize the life time of the system.

  • Page 35: Card Settings

    VP-II X outputs a Wiegand code for interface with an external access control system when a User is successfully verified; (1) For card Users (proximity or smart card), the VP-II X outputs the Wiegand code as it is read from the card; and (2) For PIN Users, VP-II X outputs a Wiegand code created in accordance with the preset format.

  • Page 36: Wiegand Output Options

    The bit 13 is used for both odd and even parity calculation. 5.1.3 Wiegand Output Options VP-II X can also output a Wiegand code for verification failure and emergency notification (duress code). In order for PACS (Physical Access Control System) to recognize the difference for these codes, a separate site code needs to be assigned for each.

  • Page 38 The VP-II X uses a key to encrypt the data stored in a smart card. For security reasons, customers should assign a unique key to be utilized for their VP-II X devices. The key is stored in both VP-II X and the card, and the key in the card must be matched to that in the VP-II X to be accepted.

  • Page 39: Pacs System Settings

    A detection level signal will be sent from PACS system to VP-II X. The detection ime is the expected time when the PACS system will respond to the VP-II X. VP-II X can be configured to detect a signal of 0V or 5V.

    DC JACK / EXT PWR DC JACK is used to plug in a power supply provided along the VP-II X. The input range of the power supply included in the package is AC100~250 / 50~60Hz, and output is DC 12V / 1.5A. If you need to supply the power to an external device connected to the VP-II X, such as an external card reader, you can use EXT PWR port.
  • Page 46 Serial port B is reserved for future uses. RS-485 In case that the distance between VP-II X and VP-II XG is over 15 meters, the RS485 interface can be used. However, an RS485 driver which is not installed by default has to be additionally installed inside both the VP-II X and VP-II XG.

  • Page 47: Event Report Viewer

    3. Event Report Viewer An application (“VP Report”) is provided by Techsphere for implementations where the VP-II X unit(s) are not using a server. In this case, the Manager can export stored events to a USB memory device to see and diagnose user management events.
