System Configuration
The Overview page shows information about the door controller's name, MAC address, IP address, and firmware version. It also
enables you to identify the door controller on the network or in the system.
The first time you access the Axis product, the Overview page will prompt you to configure the hardware, to set date and time, to
configure the network settings, and to configure the door controller as part of a system or as a standalone unit.
To configure the door controller:
1. Configure the door controller and connected devices such as readers, locks and request to exit (REX) devices. See Configure
the Hardware, on page 11.
2. Set the date and time. See Date & Time, on page 34.
3. Configure the network settings. See Network, on page 34.
4. Configure the door controller system. See Manage Network Door Controllers, on page 14.
For information about how to configure and manage the system's doors, schedules, users and groups, see Access Management, on
page 17.
To return to the Overview page from the product's other web pages, click Overview in the menu bar.
Note
To add or remove door controllers, to add, remove, or edit users, or to configure the hardware, more than half of the door
controllers in the system must be online. To check the door controller status, go to Setup > Manage Network Door
Controllers in System.

Configure the Hardware

Before you can manage the doors, the hardware must be configured in the Hardware Configuration pages.
Doors, locks and other devices can be connected to the Axis product before completing the hardware configuration. However, the
connection of devices will be easier if you complete the hardware configuration first. This is because the hardware pin chart will be
available when the configuration is complete. The hardware pin chart is a guide on how to connect the pins and can be used as
a reference sheet for maintenance.
To configure the hardware:
1. Go to Setup > Hardware Configuration and click Start new hardware configuration. If the product's hardware has not
been configured, Hardware Configuration will be available in the notification panel in the Overview page.
2. Select a door option depending on the number of doors, one (1) or two (2), that will be connected to the Axis product
3. Enter a descriptive name for each door and click Next. It is recommended to provide the doors with unique descriptive
names so that they easily can be identifed by anyone who will administrate the system.
4. Select the lock options that match the requirements and the type of lock connections that will be used and click Next. For
more information about available options, see Locks, on page 12.
5. Select the types of readers that will be used and click Finish. For more information about available options, see Readers,
on page 13.
To cancel the hardware configuration, click Cancel. This can be done in any of the hardware configuration pages.
To view the hardware pin chart, go to Setup > Hardware Pin Chart.
To print the hardware pin chart, click Print Hardware Pin Chart.
To delete the hardware configuration, click Reset hardware configuration for this controller.
