Page 6 Before you start The Avigilon Access Control Core is an access control unit (ACU) that controls up to 8, 12, or 16 entries through two expansion board connections. This installation guide explains how to install and configure the Access Control Core, as part of the Avigilon Alta access control system, including expansion board connections to HID®...
Page 7 An Ethernet connection with DHCP must be used to connect the ACU to the Local Area Network (LAN). You may also need to configure firewall settings to communicate with the Avigilon Alta access control system, which uses the following outbound ports:...
Page 8 Enclosure requirements The Access Control Core and Avigilon expansion boards are installed in an Avigilon Smart Hub with pre- installed power supply. The Avigilon 4-Door Smart Hub (SYS-4ENT-DVE1 ) is used as an example throughout this guide. For other Smart Hubs, see For more information on page 32.
Page 9 OP-CR-ACC datasheet. Avigilon reader wiring requirements Avigilon readers and ACUs communicate via RS-485. The compatible wire types are listed in order of preference which impacts distance. Shielded CAT6A (recommended; additional two pairs can be used for sensors) Shielded Cat 6...
Page 10 Sometimes legacy wiring (unshielded and straight through, rather than shielded twisted pair, often 22-6) results in slower connections and dropped packets between the Avigilon reader and ACU. To remedy this, you can switch GND and VIN with +B and -A connections on the ACU and readers to ensure the data pair (+B and -A) are using the alternate pair of legacy wires.
Page 11 3. Connect the Access Control Core to a power supply using the included power cable. Warning: Do not apply power during wiring. Ensure the power supply is unplugged until all wiring is complete. 4. Optional. To monitor tamper events, attach the included tamper wire to the tamper switch on the enclosure and plug into the Access Control Core.
Page 12 REX inputs that report events to our system are added as REX inputs. Note: Alta mobile credentials can be issued to users in Alta Control Center and used to unlock their entries using the Avigilon Alta Open app on their mobile phones. System requirements Ensure the SIO baud rate is set to 38400 or higher on the board, and matches the baud rate in Alta Control Center for TLS support.
Page 13 Ensure the bit raw read on the Wiegand or OSDP reader is set to 64-bit for accurate DESFire® card reads. Custom reader wiring is needed to support BZR and LED. The Wiegand reader LED control requires: Wiring the Green LED output to the LED input Wiring the Red LED output to the BZR input on a Mercury reader port If the LED wires are not wired as specified, you will hear a single beep and see a Green LED blink for any card scans that result in a grant or denial.
Page 14 Important: Creating user accounts in the Users menu is recommended during initial setup. 7. When logged in, select Network in the left menubar. a. Select Use Static IP configuration to ensure the IP address doesn’t change at a later time. Set the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
Page 15 Port next to the input to be configured. Example: Mercury board 5. Select a different type from Input type. For an Avigilon board, select Contact sensor, Generic input, Openpath reader, Request to exit device, or Wiegand device. For a Mercury board, select Contact sensor, Generic input, or Request to exit device.
Page 16 Note: Inputs cannot be changed if they are already assigned to an entry. 6. For a Mercury board. In the reader expansion board section, scroll to the right and click Port . In Input type, select Third party reader - OSDP or Third party reader - Wiegand. Note: After the reader port is set to OSDP, ensure the reader is also set up for OSDP communication.
Page 17 1. Go to Sites > Entries, and create or edit an existing entry. For more information on creating entries, see the Avigilon Alta Control Center Administrator Guide . 2. In the Controller field, select the Access Control Core. 3. Assign the contact sensor, REX device, or reader to the entry.
Page 18 Wiring to Wiegand devices on Smart Hubs You can wire third-party Wiegand readers and panels to the ACU to support integrations or Mobile Gateway mode. The extra Auxiliary I/Os on the 4-Port Board (shown below) and 8-Port Board can be used for wiring Wiegand devices (see 2 below), however, any I/O pair may be used including Contact and REX inputs (see 1 below).
Page 19 To add mobile credential features (see 6 below) to a legacy access control system: 1. Install the Avigilon ACU (see 4) between the Avigilon Smart Readers (see 5) and the legacy panel (see 2) connected to legacy software (see 1). See Change input and output types on page 15 to configure the ACU as...
Page 20 In this configuration, the legacy panel controls all locking hardware and entry mechanisms while the Avigilon system lets you use the Avigilon Alta Open app, Smart Reader, and Wave to Unlock functionality. Refer to the Avigilon Alta Control Center Administrator Guide for more information on configuring Mobile Gateway settings.
Page 21 Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries. Add ACUs using Alta Control Center Before you can provision an ACU using the Avigilon Alta Access app, you must first create an ACU in the Alta Control Center. Add multiple ACUs using Quick start option Note: Bulk ACU creation is not supported for the Access Control Core that connects to Mercury expansion boards.
Page 22 Core series ACU — For Core Series Smart Hubs. 5. If your ACU also connects to an expansion board, add the appropriate types in EXPANSION BOARDS: Tip: The Avigilon (formerly, Openpath) boards are most common with the Core Series Smart Hub. Provisioning...
Page 23 Go to App marketplace and ensure the Static Cloud IP app is installed. b. After the toggle is enabled in the Alta Control Center, open the Avigilon Alta Access app and select Provision with Static Cloud IP to provision the devices.

Page 26 8. The app will send notifications when ACU provision state changes from Unprovisioned to Provisioning in progress to Provisioning complete. Note: The ACU will disconnect from the Avigilon Alta Access app app 5 minutes after first pressing the Admin button. Provision the ACU using Alta Control Center on a laptop 1.
Page 27 If the Provision button doesn't appear, contact Avigilon Alta Support at (844) 673-6728 Ext 2 or support@openpath.com. Test internet connection using Avigilon Alta Access app In the Avigilon Alta Access app, you can tap Test Internet Connection to check if the ACU can ping api.openpath.com/health. Provisioning...
Page 28 Configure network settings using Avigilon Alta Access app In the Avigilon Alta Access app, you can configure network settings for the ACU. Ethernet connections can be DHCP (default) or can have a static IP address. Note: Setting DHCP reservation and a static IP address are recommended to support allowlisting or safelisting of the same address during a reboot of the Access Control Core (when new IP addresses are...
Page 29 Control Center. The device continues to operate as expected. The blinking red indicator is expected to be temporary and change back to the solid green indicator. If the device is stuck in this state after 5 seconds, contact Avigilon Alta Support.
Page 30 To soft reset the ACU, disconnect power from the ACU, wait 10 seconds, and then reconnect the power. Hard reset Warning: Only hard reset the ACU if absolutely necessary and if instructed by Avigilon Alta Support. This will clear all of the data off of the ACU and will require reprovisioning.
Page 31 0.12A – 0.25A Assuming a 24V power supply, a Core Series Smart Hub configured with four Avigilon readers and locking hardware uses about 2 Amps. To keep the system running for 3 hours with all entries engaged, you need 2A x 3 hours = 6AH, so two 12V 6AH sealed lead acid (SLA) or gel cell batteries wired in series.
