Configuring inputs

For Security Center to monitor and control the inputs of your Axis Powered by Genetec unit, configure them in Config Tool.

1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Access control task, and then click the Axis Powered by Genetec unit under the Access Manager role.
2. Click the Peripherals tab.
3. Expand the onboard interface, and then double-click the input to edit.
4. In the Edit Input dialog box, configure the following settings:

   Name

   Input device name.

   Logical ID

   (Optional) Must be unique among all peripherals attached to the same unit.

   Shunted

   Select this option to ignore the inputs. Once shunted, the state of the input remains at Normal, regardless how you trigger it.

   Contact type

   Set the normal state of the input contact and its supervision mode.

   Note: Only door inputs and external inputs can be supervised.

   Not supervised and Normally closed

   The normal state of the input contact is closed, and the access control unit does not report that the input is in the trouble state.

   Not supervised and Normally open

   The normal state of the input contact is open, and the access control unit does not report if the input is in the trouble state.

   4-state supervised and Normally closed

   The normal state of the input contact is closed, and the access control unit reports when the input is in the trouble state.

   4-state supervised and Normally open

   The normal state of the input contact is open, and the access control unit reports when the input is in the trouble state.

5. Click Save.
6. For supervised inputs, do the following:
   1. Click the Hardware tab.
   2. Scroll down to the supervised input and select one of the following settings, according to your resistor values:

      ParallellFirst22k4k7

      The resistor values must be 4.7 kΩ and 22 kΩ.

      SerialFirst1k

      The resistor values must be 1 kΩ.

   3. Click Apply.
   4. Install end of line resistors according the diagram corresponding to your resistor values:
