PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Before you begin installing the Brivo control panel, perform the following tasks to ensure a safe, speedy, and
successful installation.
Understand the function of the Brivo ACS6000 control panel.
The ACS6000-E and ACS6000-A are four (4) reader control panels with multiple access points (up to four
readers per chassis). This control panel is considered a standalone system. The main board has two (2)
readers on-board, and one additional expansion board can be integrated with the main board which will
form the four (4) reader panel. Additional expansion panels (ACS6000-EXP) can connect to the main
control panel with two expansion boards in each. Each expansion board can be a door board (two (2)
readers on board) or an input-output board.
The Brivo ACS6000-E uses an on-board Ethernet interface to communicate via any TCP/IP networking
technology that can be connected through a hub, router or switch, including Wi-Fi and satellite
communications. It is an IP-enabled Access Control System that interacts with the Brivo Onair cloud server
via the Internet application Brivo Onair.
The Brivo ACS6000-A is identical to the ACS6000-E except that the ACS6000-A communicates to a Brivo
Onsite Server instead of the Brivo Onair cloud server.
The ACS6008-E and ACS6008-A are identical to their respective ACS6000 models except for a larger
enclosure which allows for two additional expansion boards (door board or input-output boards). Also,
the ACS6008 series are connected to two (2) 12V, 7Ah batteries for standby power (Batteries should be
connected in parallel).
Understand Brivo ACS6000 control panel product compatibility.
The ACS6000 control panel is compatible with a large number of standard reader models including the
following (UL tested for compatibility) reader models: HID600, Identiv 8110, HID RPK40, Allegion MTK15,
AWID KP-6840, and OSDP reader 921PTPTEK00385. Brivo products are designed to accommodate the
latest updates in Wiegand and OSDP using RS-485 reader formats. The ACS6000 control board is
compatible with Wiegand devices that transmit up to 255-bit data and OSDP readers using RS-485.
A current list of compatible readers and keypads is maintained on Brivo's website at
http://www.brivo.com. If you have a specific model of reader or keypad that is not listed on the Brivo
website, please contact Technical Support at 1-866-BRIVO-4-U to determine compatibility.
Verify that the client site is ready to support the installation.
1. Check with the IT department to ensure that the ACS6000 control panel to be installed is
compatible with the company's local area network (LAN).
a) The ACS6000 control panel is equipped with a standard RJ-45 socket that accepts a CAT5
or CAT6 cable with an RJ-45 plug on any 10/100 Ethernet network. Physically connecting
the panel is the same as plugging any computer or other device into the LAN.
b) Refer to the Panel Networking Admin Interface Guide for instructions on connecting to
the LAN. The Panel Networking Admin Interface Guide also contains a complete list of
requirements regarding TCP/IP configuration parameters and information about
security considerations.
2. Download the appropriate Quick Start Guide from the Brivo website and provide it to the Master
Administrator. This document provides instructions for registering and configuring the control
panel in the appropriate application.
