In this guide, we will use the term Card or Key from time to time. Both term refers to the Mifare Card or Mifare key fob in issued by Pamex Kapture solution. MP100 is the only device you use to issue card/key. Note that sometimes you have to re-place (take card off the reader then place the card on the reader again) the card on the reader to successfully complete your card operation.
Construction Phase Make sure you have Crypto Cards and Construction Cards on hand. Crypto Card and Construction Card are shipped from Pamex together with physical locks.(See Appendix : Card Types) In the scenario that wifi network and MF-Admin Server is not ready, and you have installed locks on the doors, you will need Construction Cards to unlock and open the door.
Lock Registration Phase MF-Admin Server is required to complete all the tasks in this phase. Please follow the MF-Admin Server & MP100 Installation Guide to install MF-Admin Server. MF-Admin Server is a web-based application with access controlled by login id and password.
Plan your area tree Area tree is the topology of your property. Before you can register your physical locks and link the locks to their corresponding lock place, you have to build the area tree in MF-Admin Server. There are three types of areas : group, unit, public (See Appendix: Area Types for detail).
Build the area tree using MF-Admin Server Navigate to build area tree page. Property Management => Build Property For a brand new property, you will see only one node at beginning. Click and edit root area name. Click edit button on Root Area and select Add Public Area. Click the name text to edit public area name and lockplace name.
Page 53
Click menu button on Root Area and select Add Group. Click name text to edit group name. Click menu button on Group Area M and select “Add Lock Place”. Edit lockplace name. Click menu button on Group Area M and select “Add Unit”.
Page 54
Click name text to edit unit name and lockplace name. Keep adding unit from B to D Click Save To Server to save the area tree. Note that there are many ways to build an area tree as above. You may find other techniques in MF-Admin Server User Manual.
Plan your programming cards The area tree is now ready to be linked to physical locks. Pamex Kapture locks support WPA2 encryption to connect to the Wifi AP. When a lock is scanned by a programming card, the preferred Wifi AP SSIDs will be loaded into the lock from programming card.
Page 56
For SIMPLE project, AP1 and AP2 can be saved into one programming card. Programming card can be created using MF-Admin Server and you may create several cards with the same settings in order to programm locks in parallel by several workers.
Setup Wifi AP and Create Programming Cards Navigate to system parameters page. System Management => System Parameters Select Wifi AP Setting Click Add One to add wifi ap and click Save to save wifi ap. Navigate to create programming cards page. Property Management => Issue Programming Key...

D. Go to Room A E. Scan programming card to the lock Lockplace A. You will see the physical new lock connect to MF-Admin server. F. Link physical lock on Room A to lockplace. Click lock icon near Unit Area A. A pop-up window will show up listing all the locks not linked yet.
Verify lock registration using Master Card Master Card is granted unlimited access to any locks in the project. After locks are registered to MF-Admin server, they now only recognize Residential Cards plus Master Cards. To verify that all the locks are successfully registered and linked to the right lock places in the area tree, let’s first create the master card.
Page 63

Page 64
The green light LED on Read should blink. If Read Key From Reader failed with three beep sounds and display following message, please re-place key/card and click Read Key From Reader again. If read key successfully click Write Key/Card to issue master key.
Page 65
Write Key/Card successfully with two beep sounds. ● How to verify Master Card to a lock : Prepare a invalid Mifare Card X (You may issue an invalid card easily by assigning no area to the card). By default, a lock will report to MF-Admin Server and get the newly create card list from MF-Admin Server every 30 mins.
Page 66
○ If lock A is still not opened, please unlink the lock and register/link again. Then repeat the verification steps. ○ If problem still exist, please contact your reseller for help. Please keep the Master Card safe and secure. Congratulations ! The system is ready and let’s go to Go-Live phase.
Go-live Phase We will present several daily operations when the system goes live. Most of the daily work of an administrator or property owner should be card/key management. You have seen several card types in the previous sections: Crypto Card, Construction Card, Programming Card and Master Card.

Shutdown Public Area The only public area we have in SIMPLE project is the swimming pool. Suppose you need to close the swimming pool in the winter or for maintenance purpose, it is not a good idea to re-issue all the cards to remove the swimming pool access right. MF-Admin server has two features: Area Time Control and Lock Scheduling which will help you to complete this task in a second without re-issuing any cards.
Page 102
Assume the area time control of swimming pool is only for Saturday and Sunday 24 hours . Let’s edit swimming pool time control to meet the requirement, click Save to save time control setting. You can see the lock on Public Area P turn to light green color which means there is a time control setting over this area .
● Lock Scheduling Lock scheduling has nothing to do with Mifare card. It can be used to control the schedule to lock/unlock a lock. In SIMPLE project case, we may use lock operation mode to control the locking status. Three modes are available for a lock (not an area): ❖...
Page 104
Click the lock icon in Public Area P . In Operation Mode dialog, select Private and click Save . The Public Area P lock icon color will turn to light green which means it is not normal setting .
Page 105
As you can see in the previous screenshots, there is also a time control table which you can set when operation mode is in normal mode. It is used to manage a public/group area where you like it to be passage mode for some period of time of a day in a weekly manner.
Access Control Rule It is time to elaborate how access rules works. All the locks will apply the access rule when scan a card. Below is the default access rule settings : You have to choose one of the three settings to apply to a combination of card types and area types.
Page 107
System Management => System Parameters According to the document, we would want to block all users including the staff to enter swimming pool in private mode. Find out the Staff field and edit NoPrivacy to No and click Save . Now, the swimming pool has been shut down completely except Master Key.
Time Control - Add/Remove Holidays Time control settings can be found in many places in the system and it is straightforward to use. There is only one thing to remind, the holiday. In addition to the settings for 7 days a week, you have another row (the bottom row) to set time control which is the holiday setting.
Page 109
Click the blank field to edit holiday assume that 2019/01/01 is a holiday. Click Save to save the holiday. ❖ Remove holiday Click X to remove holiday and click Save . The holiday setting takes precedence over weekly settings. It means if today is holiday and Monday, then the system will check holiday’s settings instead of Monday’s settings.
Advanced Setup Guide Note : Do not try this section without assistance from reseller or Pamex. Changing any of the parameters in this section to unreasonable value might lead to strange system behavior. Lock Report Interval Lock report interval can be changed at the Lock Operation function.
