BACTL 32 Front Panel Building Access Controller 32 panel connections Power Connection (+24VDC) The Building Access Controller 32 is powered by a single terminal barrier plug power connector. To connect the Building Access Controller 32 to a power supply, follow these steps: 1.
LAN Connection To connect the Building Access Controller 32 to LAN, insert a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable into the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. If the LAN connection is OK, the LNK LED will light SOLID GREEN. Proxy Card Reader Connection The Building Access Controller 32 uses RJ45 to open-end cables to connect to your door sensors, proxy card readers, and door controller.
Hot Tip! DPS Telecom suggests placing a protection diode across the power supply output if utilizing the same power supply to power both the door strike and RFID access card reader. This will protect the power supply from flyback from the door strike. We have included a 1N4002 (DPS Part # 2-302-04002-00) diode in this package to use for this protection.

BACTL 32 Back Panel Craft Port Use the back panel craft port to connect the Building Access Controller 32 to a PC to give it an IP address. To use the craft port, connect the included DB9 download cable from your PC's COM port to the craft port.
Quick Start: How to Connect to the BACTL 32 Most Building Access Controller 32 users find it easiest to give the unit an IP address, subnet and gateway through the front craft port (TTY interface) to start. Once these settings are saved and you reboot the unit, you can access it over LAN to do the rest of your databasing via the Web Browser interface.

...via LAN Connection through Ethernet port To connect to the Building Access Controller 32 via LAN, all you need is the unit's IP address (Default IP address is 192.168.1.100). If you DON'T have LAN, but DO have physical access to the Building Access Controller 32, connect using a LAN crossover cable (not included).
Quick Start: How to Setup BACTL 32 in T/Mon In order for the Building Access Controller 32 to communicate with a T/Mon master station, it must be added to the T/Mon database. To define the NetGuardian for BAS, go to the Master menu > Files Maintenance menu > LAN-Based Remotes option.

The number of minutes (from 1 to 120) that a user will receive "In-Facility" status after In-Facility Time successfully accessing one door in the facility. Each BACTL manages countdowns after receiving a broadcast. Lights-On Time The amount of time the lights will remain turned on, once the relay is latched. (1-120) Turn COS Mode ON or OFF.
Edit BAC1 (for Doors 1-16) The Edit > BAC1 menu Field Description The DCP address for reporting with T/Mon. You must choose different DCP BAC Unit ID addresses for BAC1 and BAC2. These entry codes (one per door) will be used if codes have not yet been Default provisioned by T/Mon.
Field Description The Identification number. Depending on the BAC function, select either Normal, Elevator, or Floor Lights. Mode Enter the IP Address of the RTU. Enter the ID of the BAP. BAP ID Note: The chosen BAP should be connected to the same RTU specified by the IPA. Specify the Floor number.
Ethernet Access the Edit > Ethernet menu allows you to define and configure your network settings. 1. Configure the Building Access Controller 32 ethernet port by clicking on the Ethernet link from the Edit menu. 2. Enter the appropriate information for your ethernet port in the corresponding fields. 3.
Filter IPA CAUTION: Changing IPA Filter settings may make the BACTL 32 unit unreachable via LAN. Please take caution and only enable the IPA table after submitting and verifying your other Filter IPA settings. The Filter IPA table allows you to increase the device's network security by allowing or blocking packets from specified IP addresses.
Filter IPA warning prompt 3. Once enabled only the IP addresses in the table will be allowed access to the Building Access Controller 32. 4. Select to Enable IPA Table. 5. Enter the IP address of the machine(s) you would like to give access to the Building Access Controller 32.
Date and Time The current date and time can be entered from the Date and Time screen or from an SNMP manager The date is entered in the mm/dd/yyyy format and the time is entered in the hh:mm:ss format. The date and time will need resetting following a power failure or reboot unless your Building Access Controller 32 is equipped with the real-time clock option or network time is enabled.
NVRAM Your Building Access Controller 32 comes equipped with Non Volatile RAM (NVRAM), which enables the retention of data in the event of power loss. This section allows you to write and initialize the NVRAM. NOTE: Some changes require a reboot of the unit to take effect. 1.
9.11 Web Browser (Monitoring) 9.11.1 Mon BAC1 The Monitor > Mon BAC1 menu gives you an at-a-glance view on the current state of half of your doors (1-16). Select "Monitor > Mon BAC2" to view the other half (17-32). The Door column will read Open or Closed. The In-Facility column will display the minutes remaining (if any) of door alarm suppression.
In-Facility Broadcast This is an alternate mode of Building Access Controller 32 operation. In most applications, you will have electronic access control (keypad or proximity card reader) installed on every door. However, in certain high- density applications where it is not feasible to have electronic access control on all doors, you might only install door sensors on each door.

What happens when In-Facility Broadcast is NOT enabled: Once that user has swiped a valid keycard or entered a valid keycode at the main entrance, it is expected that he will also access some of the 4 interior doors for which he is authorized as part of this visit. After all, very few people will enter through the main entrance just to stand around in the hallway.

entrance door alarms would obviously create a large security threat. The number of minutes that door alarms will be suppressed after a user enters - plus several other variables - may be changed in the "Edit >> System" Menu. CAUTION: While In-Facility Broadcast can be a useful tool, it does create certain security exposures. Any time you generate alarms based on general assumptions, such as which users have entered a building in the last 60 minutes, it is possible for unauthorized access to occur without detection.
Console. Their credentials are passed from the access controller to a NetGuardian which verifies the credentials and sends a broadcast packet to all Building Access 32 controllers on the same subnet. The Building Access 32s then process the In-Facility Broadcast based on the user's credentials (as described in the previous section). For ports with elevator mode enabled that the user has rights to access, the relays will latch momentarily (5 seconds by default).

BAC. While you may wire your floors to any ports on the BAC and in any order, DPS Telecom recommends wiring your floors in order, contiguously to prevent confusion in later configuration steps. 1. Configure Ports for Elevator Mode in the BACTL Interface...

10.2 Exit Mode The In-Facility Broadcast Exit Mode allows you to re-enable door violations regardless of the amount of time remaining on an in-facility broadcast upon exiting a facility, preventing users from taking advantage of an In- Facility Broadcast to gain access to otherwise unauthorized areas in the absence of the authorized user (who entered and exited within the 60-minute broadcast).
