AXIS A1810-B Network Door Controller Solution overview Solution overview The network door controller can easily be connected to your existing IP network. Each network door controller can power and control up to 16 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 device software To make sure that the device has its original AXIS OS, 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 30.
AXIS A1810-B Network Door Controller Configure your device Configure your device For how to configure your device, see AXIS Camera Station user manual or third-party solutions. Note AXIS Door Controller Extension ACAP comes preinstalled on the system. It requires a license to use it.
Device info Shows the device information, including AXIS OS version and serial number. Upgrade AXIS OS: Upgrade the software on your device. Takes you to the Maintenance page where you can do the upgrade. Time sync status Shows NTP synchronization information, including if the device is in sync with an NTP server and the time remaining until the next sync.
Apps Add app: Install a new app.Find more apps: Find more apps to install. You will be taken to an overview page of Axis apps.Allow unsigned apps : Turn on to allow installation of unsigned apps.Allow root-privileged apps : Turn on to allow apps with root privileges full access to the device.
• Activate license with a key: If the app requires a license, you need to activate it. Use this option if your device doesn’t have internet access. If you don’t have a license key, go to axis.com/products/analytics. You need a license code and the Axis product serial number to generate a license key.

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

Using AXIS OS from the active track is recommended if you want to access the newest features, or if you use Axis end-to-end system offerings. The LTS tracks are recommended if you use third-party integrations, which are not continuously validated against the latest active track.
Note When you upgrade the device with the latest AXIS OS version in the active track, the product receives the latest functionality available. Always read the upgrade instructions and release notes available with each new release before you upgrade. To find the latest AXIS OS version and the release notes, go to axis.com/support/device-software.
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).If required, a static IP address can be assigned manually.
