Set up as card reader - network connection

To use the door station as a card reader, you must connect it to a door controller. The door controller stores all credentials and
keeps track of who is allowed through the door. In this example we connect the devices over the network. We also modify the
allowed card types.
Important
The network connection only works with Axis door controllers. To connect to a non-Axis door controller, you need to
physically connect the devices with wires. See Set up as card reader - wired connection on page 10.
Before you start
Configure the door controller's hardware, using the Wiegand protocol for the reader. See the door controller's user manual for
instructions.
Set up the door station as a card reader
1. Go to Hardware > Reader > Reader protocol > Protocol and select VAPIX reader.
2. Click Connect to Axis door controller.
3. In the pop-up, select the protocol for communicating with the door controller.
4. Enter the IP address and credentials for the door controller.
5. Click Save.
6. In Selected reader, select the reader.
7. Click Save.
8. In the Card types tab, select the card types to allow.
Note
You can keep the default set of card types or modify the list according to your needs.

Set up as card reader - wired connection

To use the door station as a card reader, you must connect it to a door controller. The door controller stores all credentials and keeps
track of who is allowed through the door. In this example, we connect the devices with wires, we use the Wiegand protocol, activate
the beeper and use one I/O port for the LED. We also modify the allowed card types.
Important
Use I/O ports that are not already in use. If you use I/O ports already in use, any events created for these ports will stop
working.
Before you start
• Physically connect the door station to a door controller. Use the electrical wiring drawings available at

manual for instructions.
