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 B-ACS6000-MBE/MBS control panel
The B-ACS6000-MBE/MBS is a control panel with multiple access points with up to six readers per standard chassis
and 14 per large chassis (in chassis with the MAIN CONTROL BOARD). This control panel is considered a standalone
system. The MAIN CONTROL BOARD has two (2) readers on-board, and up to two additional expansion boards can
be integrated with the MAIN CONTROL BOARD in a standard chassis (up to six additional expansion boards in a
large chassis) which will form the control chassis. Additional standard expansion panels (B-ACS6100R-E/S) or large
expansion panels (B-ACS6100L-E/S) can be connected to the control chassis with up to four expansion boards in
each standard expansion panel or eight expansion boards in each large expansion panel. Each expansion board can
be a door board (two (2) readers on board) or an input-output board.
The Brivo B-ACS6000-MBE MAIN CONTROL BOARD 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 Cloud Server via the Internet
application Brivo Access.
The Brivo B-ACS6000-MBS is identical to the B-ACS6000-MBE except that the B-ACS6000-MBS cannot communicate
through the web. Instead, it is programmed through an on-board interface for data management.
The B-ACS6100R-E/S and B-ACS6100L-E/S are identical except for the size of the enclosure which allows for a total
of four expansion boards (door boards and/or input-output boards in any combination) in the B-ACS6100R-E/S and
a total of eight expansion boards (door boards and/or input-output boards in any combination) in the B-ACS6100L-
E/S. The B-ACS6100R-E/S series is connected to either two (2) 12V, 7Ah batteries or one (1) 12V, 14Ah battery for
standby power. The B-ACS6100L-E/S series is connected to two (2) 12V, 14Ah batteries for standby power. Batteries
should be connected in parallel.
Understand Brivo B-ACS6000-MBE/MBS control panel product compatibility
The B-ACS6000-MBE/MBS control panel is compatible with a large number of standard reader models. The
B-ACS6000-MBE is designed to accommodate the latest updates in Wiegand and OSDP using RS-485 reader
formats. The B-ACS6000-MBS is not OSDP compatible. The B-ACS6000-MBE/MBS control board and door boards
are compatible with Wiegand devices that transmit up to 255-bit data. The B-ACS6000-MBE control board and door
boards are also compatible with OSDP readers using RS-485.
A current list of compatible readers and keypads is maintained by Brivo. If you have a specific model of reader or
keypad that you want to verify is compatible, please contact Technical Support at 1-866-BRIVO-4-U.

Check with the IT department to ensure that the B-ACS6000-MBE/MBS control panel to be installed is
compatible with the company's local area network (LAN).
a)
The B-ACS6000-MBE/MBS 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 (or the Brivo Onsite Administrator's Manual in
the case of the B-ACS6000-MBS) for instructions on connecting to the LAN. The Panel Networking
Admin Interface Guide (or Brivo Onsite Administrator's Manual) also contains a complete list of
