Solution overview Each network door controller is an intelligent device that is easily mounted close to a door. It can power and control up to two readers.
Get started Find the device on the network To find Axis devices on the network and assign them IP addresses in Windows®, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager. Both applications are free and can be downloaded from axis.com/support.
Verify that no one has tampered with the firmware To make sure that the device has its original Axis firmware, or to take full control of the device after a security attack: 1. Reset to factory default settings. See Reset to factory default settings on page 29.
The device interface The device interface To reach the device interface, type the device’s IP address in a web browser. Note Support for the features and settings described in this section varies between devices. Show or hide the main menu. Access the product help.
The device interface Access control Alarms Device motion: It is enabled by default to trigger an alarm in your system when device motion of the door controller is detected. Casing open: It is enabled by default to trigger an alarm in your system when casing open of the door controller is detected. External tamper: It is not enabled by default.

The device interface Assign IPv4 automatically: Select to let the network router assign an IP address to the device automatically. We recommend automatic IP (DHCP) for most networks. IP address: Enter a unique IP address for the device. Static IP addresses can be assigned at random within isolated networks, provided that each address is unique.

One-click cloud connection One-click cloud connection (O3C) together with an O3C service provides easy and secure internet access to live and recorded video from any location. For more information, see axis.com/end-to-end-solutions/hosted-services. Allow O3C: • One-click: The default setting. Press and hold the control button on the device to connect to an O3C service over the internet.

Authentication failed: Sends a trap message when an authentication attempt fails. Note All Axis Video MIB traps are enabled when you turn on SNMP v1 and v2c traps. For more information, see AXIS OS Portal > SNMP. • v3: SNMP v3 is a more secure version, which provides encryption and secure passwords. To use SNMP v3, we recommend you to activate HTTPS, as the password is then sent through HTTPS.

To install test firmware or other custom firmware from Axis on the device, you need a custom-signed firmware certificate. The certificate verifies that the firmware is approved by both the device owner and Axis. The firmware can only run on a specific device which is identified by its unique serial number and chip ID.

IoT integration and is used in a wide variety of industries to connect remote devices with a small code footprint and minimal network bandwidth. The MQTT client in Axis device firmware can simplify integration of data and events produced in the device to systems which are not video management systems (VMS).

The device interface Clean session: Controls the behavior at connection and disconnection time. When selected, the state information is discarded at connect and disconnect. Keep alive interval: The keep alive interval enables the client to detect when the server is no longer available without having to wait for the long TCP/IP timeout.

The device interface • All: Send both stateful and stateless messages as retained. QoS: Select the desired level for the MQTT publication. MQTT subscriptions Add subscription: Click to add a new MQTT subscription. Subscription filter: Enter the MQTT topic that you want to subscribe to. Use device topic prefix: Add the subscription filter as prefix to the MQTT topic.

The device interface Reports • View the device server report: Click to show information about the product status in a pop-up window. The Access Log is automatically included in the Server Report. • Download the device server report: Click to download the server report. It creates a .zip file that contains a complete server report text file in UTF–8 format, as well as a snapshot of the current live view image.
Note All Axis device firmware is digitally signed to ensure that you only install verified firmware on your device. This further increases the overall minimum cybersecurity level of Axis devices. For more information, see the white paper “Signed firmware, secure boot, and security of private keys” at axis.com.
Axis device ID Axis device ID works like a digital passport, unique for each device unit. It is securely and permanently stored in Edge Vault as a certificate signed by Axis root certificate. Axis device ID is designed to prove the origin of the device, enabling a new level of device trust through the life cycle of the product.

IP addresses obtained from a DHCP server are dynamic and may change. If the IP address has been changed by DHCP changed, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager to locate the device on the network. Identify the device using its model or serial number, or by the DNS name (if the name has been configured).
