Introduction
1. Important Safety Information
The safety guidelines for EtherProx Entry include:
·
Power sources
·
ANSI/UL listing (USA) and CSA 22.2 listing (Canada)
·
UL 294-compliant installations
·
FCC Class A digital device
·
Canadian Radio Emissions Requirements
Power Sources
To power the door latch, you should use a power limited UL 294 or UL 603 door
strike power supply. You can obtain the door strike power supply from AlarmSAF,
Altronix, Securitron, and Software House. You can also use the door strike power
supply to provide power to the reader units. The typical load on the power supply is
250 milliamps per reader. You can also power the readers by using the DIU
supplied by Software House, or a Desktop Power Supply rated 12 VDC, 1.2 Amp
minimum, with Class 2 and UL Markings. If you do not have a battery backup for
the power supply, you cannot connect the power supply to a receptacle that is
controlled by a switch.
ANSI/UL listing (USA) and CSA 22.2 listing (Canada)
A National Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL) has examined and tested
EtherProx Entry, InfoProx Entry, and InfoProx Exit readers according to the
requirements of ANSI/UL 294 - Access Control System Units and CSA 22.2 – No.
205-M1983. The readers are low-voltage 12-volt assemblies that operate from
power limited sources. When you install a reader according to the instructions in
this manual and wire it according to the National Electrical Code (NEC), you can
expect the reader to meet all safety requirements.
UL 294-compliant Installation
To ensure a secure installation that is in full compliance with UL 294 requirements
for security and performance, follow these guidelines:
Software House
·
You must install the wiring for the door controls on the secured side of
the premises.
·
If you provide backup power with the installation, the batteries in the 12volt UL 294 or UL 603 power supply should provide power for the door
strike and the readers for a minimum of four hours. If you do not
provide backup power with the installation, make a permanent marking
on the power supply label of the expected duration of the fully charged
battery. The Software House DIU also provides battery power.
·
According to UL 294 requirements, if you attempt to force open a door
at an entrance that is controlled by an InfoProx reader, or tamper with
the reader, an audible alarm will activate. A sound alarm device must
Page 1
Introduction
EtherProx Entry
have a sound level of at least 85 decibels. An alarm must activate for
15 minutes. You can purchase a Battery Back Up Supervisory Siren
sounder, Model 0821 from Street Smart Security. There are three ways
to meet the UL 294 alarm requirements:
Use a Software House DIU. The DIU closes a set of
relay contacts when an intrusion or tamper is detected
by the InfoProx Reader. The relay contacts activate the
alarm.
Reverse the Entry and Exit readers so that the door
controls are on the secure side of the door. Use the relay
output of the Exit reader to activate a supervised sound
device.
Use a standard UL burglar alarm system to monitor the
door and the tamper activity at the InfoProx reader.
FCC Class A Digital Device
InfoProx readers have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the device is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at
his own expense. The FCC ID is ACD/SPASSSERIES.
Canadian Radio Emissions Requirements
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions
from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the
Canadian Department of Communications.
Le present appareil numerique n’emet pas de bruits radioelectriques depassant les
limites applicables aux appareils numeriques de la class A prescrites dans le
Reglement sur le brouillage radiolelectrique edicte par le ministere des
Communications du Canada.
2. Introduction
The Software House EtherProx™ Entry Reader is a compact door control unit that
provides a sophisticated, cost-effective solution for single-door access monitoring and
control. The unit’s electronics are housed in a polycarbonate enclosure with an LCD
display screen and three LED indicators. Despite being small enough to mount onto an
electrical containment box, EtherProx Entry communicates to network-connected
computers through a built-in web server, which establishes connections to computers
anywhere in the world. In addition, for cardholders and administrators, the unit displays
three LED status indicators and two lines of status information on its LCD screen. A builtin multi-tone sound device provides audible prompts and status indications for the user.

EtherProx Entry
Introduction
The EtherProx Entry door access system is ideal for controlling a single door, usually in a
remote area. You can use EtherProx Entry for businesses, leisure facilities, members-only
clubs, and secure areas in public buildings.
EtherProx Entry is also ideal for an establishment that initially requires a few readers and
envisions future expansion. For example, you can link EtherProx Entry to a multi-door
Access 2000 system, integrating alarm processing and card production facilities by
changing the firmware.
EtherProx Entry maintains a database of valid cards that are added by using a web
browser interface. The Web administration pages also allow you to configure EtherProx
Entry for door event times, location names, login names, and passwords.
To connect to the EtherProx Entry for configuration of the unit and for access
management, a personal computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and an Ethernet
network adapter is required. Once the EtherProx Entry has been configured and the
necessary card data has been entered, for backup purposes, you can upload data to the
computer by means of its web server. In the event of data loss on EtherProx Entry,
backup data can be downloaded to the reader’s database. Additionally, EtherProx Entry
may be connected to a local area or wide area network so that it can be controlled and
queried remotely to generate activity, status, and alarm reports.
Description
The EtherProx Entry reader is housed in a polycarbonate, fully encapsulated
enclosure that is both weather and vandal resistant. The keypad is required for
PIN validation and for access to the Administration menu. EtherProx Entry
supports HID 26 bit, HID 32 bit, and HID (Software House) 37 bit Wiegand
proximity technology, under license from HID Corporation. The following cards and
read ranges are supported.

9cm (3.6")
ProxCard™ Plus Card
6cm (2.4")
ProxCard® ll Card
10cm (4")
ProxKey™ ll Fob
4cm (1.6")
Each reader can service one InfoProx™ Exit reader configuration supported for
IN/OUT control. Alternatively, a pushbutton can be connected as an input to the
reader to provide egress from a controlled area where no exit reader is mounted.
In normal door mode, the EtherProx Entry reader has three analog inputs, as listed
in the following table.

DOOR MODE
Input 0
Monitors door position (Normally Closed)
Input 1

Introduction
EtherProx Entry
Input 2
Monitors request-to-exit button (Normally Open)
For normal door mode access, the reader has one relay reserved for a door strike.
You can configure the relay to Powered to Secure or Powered to Unlock; the relay
automatically fires when a valid card is presented to the reader.
Initially, enter all card ID numbers into the reader's database. When a valid card is
read, access is granted. You can assign PINs to some or all of the cards to
increase security. You can configure the reader to require a valid PIN after
presenting a card. The PIN can be required on either the entry or the exit sides of
the door, or on both sides, depending on your security needs.
You can set up time zones to limit access during specific hours. You can configure
the reader to allow access to cardholders entering a specific Global Pin Code,
without the need to present a card. This is especially useful for time-specific group
functions or for situations where tight security is not required.
Reader Types
Software House manufactures four readers: EtherProx Entry; InfoProx Entry;
InfoProx Exit, and InfoProx Online. The EtherProx Entry is a door control unit that
is controlled through web-based software The InfoProx is a standalone door
control unit that contains memory and data; the InfoProx Exit works with the
InfoProx Entry or the EtherProx Entry. The InfoProx Online will be used with iStar
90X0 series controllers and AC 2000.
Since all the Prox readers look alike, a Sensor Pass (SPASS) identification code
distinguishes one reader from another. The SPASS code appears on the back of a
reader unit so that you can verify that you have the correct type of reader for your
installation. The following table lists the reader units with their SPASS code.

You can use the InfoProx Entry and EtherProx Entry only as entry
readers; you cannot use an entry reader as an exit reader for another
entry reader.
Preparing to Install EtherProx
There are several ways to install an EtherProx reader. You can use an optional Door
Interface Unit (DIU) or reverse the Entry and Exit readers in order to comply with UL 294.
A DIU is an option that provides power for the readers and additional inputs, outputs, and
alarms. You can wire the door controls to the DIU, making the installation UL 294compliant.
If you install readers for only inside access control and not for outside access control, your
installation does not have to comply UL 294 requirements.
When you install the Entry reader on the secure side of the
door, the wiring is not accessible during an attempted
break-in. With this type of installation, the Transaction report
will show an entrance as Access granted - Exit and an exit
as Access granted – Entry.

EtherProx Entry Installation
3. EtherProx Entry Installation
EtherProx Entry mounts directly onto a standard UK or European (French) electrical
containment box. North American installations require an adapter plate so you can use
standard conduit and fittings. A clear polycarbonate screen covers the LCD for protection.
You pull the cables through the conduit, which terminate in the containment box. The
following cables are required:
CABLE
CONNECTOR
Category 5 data network cable
4-pin socket (J5)
4-pair (max) cable for inputs and output
10-pin socket (J2)
2-pair (Belden 8723) cable to exit reader
4-pin socket (J3)
The EtherProx Entry unit uses Phoenix Contact connectors for inputs and outputs. You
secure the cables into the screw terminals. Belden 8723 or equivalent cable is
recommended for the 2-pair cable.
EtherProx Entry provides two stainless steel tamper-resistant mounting screws. These
screws are concealed behind specially molded covers when the installation is complete.
Note
Software House
The connectors on the EtherProx Entry reader are keyed to ensure
correct orientation.
Page 11
Configuring EtherProx Entry
EtherProx Entry
Power Connections
The EtherProx Entry reader contains an internal voltage regulator that requires an
external power supply with nominal 12-volt output. The internal voltage regulator is
capable of supplying at least 250 mA of current. The Power input is filtered, as well
as Transzorb and reverse-voltage protected. Power is supplied to the reader by
means of a J3 connector, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Terminal and Power Connections
Note
The Phoenix Contact terminals for the power and data connections can
accommodate two leads fitted into one terminal.
The total cable length between the power supply and the reader depends on the
type of cable you use and whether you connect an exit reader. Here are guidelines
for determining the voltage:
1. For long cable runs, use Table 1 to calculate the voltage drop of the cable
between the power supply and the reader.
EXIT
READER

Table 1: Voltage Table
2. Subtract the result from the power supply’s output voltage.
Page 12
Software House
EtherProx Entry
EtherProx Entry Installation
3. If the result is greater than 7.0 volts, the wiring is adequate. If not, use heavier
(lower gauge) wire or a power supply with a higher voltage output.
Example:
If you use a 22AWG wire with a 12-volt power supply 300 feet
away from the readers, the voltage drops to 7.2 volts at the
reader. Using the Table 1: Voltage Table to calculate the
voltage, multiply 3 (300 ft) times the 1.6V drop equals a -4.8
drop for the 300 ft. span. Subtract 4.8 from the 12V supply,
which equals 7.2. A voltage of 7.2 at the readers is sufficient
power to operate the readers above the 7V minimum required.
In this example, the total distance from the power source and
the exit cannot be more than 300 ft.
Exit Reader Connections
The InfoProx exit reader is connected to the entry reader through a two-pair cable,
providing power and communications. The connection is from connector J3 on the
entry reader to connector J3 on the exit reader, and is connected at both ends with
a four-pin Phoenix Contact socket (see Figure 2).
J3

Figure 2: Exit Reader Connections
The recommended interconnecting cable is Belden 8723 or equivalent. It is not
necessary to connect the drain wires in the cable. You can cut the drain wires off
flush with the jacket.
EtherProx Entry Ethernet Connection
Connect the Ethernet cable to J5 using a Category 5 or better cable. Terminate
the keypad end with a 4-pin Phoenix connector. Connect the other end of the
Ethernet cable to an RJ-45 female connector (see Figure 4).

The diagram in Figure 5 illustrates typical connections to a door. The power supply
must have sufficient capacity to operate the door strike. You can connect three
optional switches, which include:
·
Door state monitor switch – a normally closed switch whose contacts
are closed when the door is closed; EtherProx Entry uses the door
state monitor switch to generate the door held and door open alarms
·
Lock status switch - if present, a normally closed switch that is usually
part of the door strike assembly. If lock status monitoring is enabled,
the lock status switch must be connected
·
Exit pushbutton switch – a normally opened switch that is used if the
door lock must be released to leave the secured area

Here is an example of time clearances for timed events. You
use the EtherProx reader to control access to the cafeteria.
The kitchen is open (Door Override) to everyone during
breakfast (7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.) and lunch (12:00 p.m. to
1:30 p.m.) on Monday through Friday. For the remainder of
the day, 8:01 a.m. to 11:59 a.m. and 1:31 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
the cafeteria is accessible with use of a Global PIN. From 6:00
a.m. to 6:59 a.m. and 5:01 p.m. to 7:59 p.m., Monday through
Friday, plus Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m., access to the kitchen is available using a Card-Only
without a PIN. Access at any other time from Sunday through
Saturday requires a Card and PIN (normal mode). Based on

Door Control Unit System: The DCU system encompasses the entry door control unit,
the exit reader, and any peripheral devices, such as the DIU.
Door forced: A forced entry through a door. The door control unit detects a door-forced
condition when the Door Sense Monitor (DSM) activates without a valid card access or
REX.
Door held: A door held alarm sounds after a valid card access if the cardholder holds the
door open after the door open time expires.
Door Interface Unit (DIU): A device designed to connect to a door control unit, providing
additional inputs, outputs, and alarms.
Door open time: The length of time that the door can be open after a valid card access.
The door open time is sometimes referred to as the shunt time.
Door Override: A mode where the door is unlocked.
Door sensing input: An input that monitors the Door State Monitor (DSM) switch.
Door strike time: The length of time that the lock will be open after a valid card read.
Door State Monitor (DSM): A switch that indicates whether a door is open or closed.

MAC Address: The unique 48-bit address burned into Ethernet and Token Ring adapters,
identifying a specific network card from all others. The address is normally shown as 12
hexadecimal nibbles, for example, 00-50-F9-3A-64-BC.
NO/NC: Normally Open or Normally Closed contacts.
PIN: Personal Identification Number used with cards to allow access.
PIR: Passive infrared switch. Typically used for a REX.
Power to secure: Indicates that a door is locked (secured) when the door strike relay is
powered (engaged).
Power to unlock: Indicates that the door is unlocked when the door strike relay is
powered.
Proximity: A type of reader (read head) that operates without a card actually touching the
reader. The proximity reader uses wireless Radio Frequency (RF) technology.
Reader: A door control unit that reads cards to allow access, which is one function of the
unit.
Relock delay time: The amount of time, in seconds, to delay relocking the door after a
valid card access. Sometimes referred to as relock time.
Relock time: see Relock delay time.
Request to exit input: The input that monitors the Request to exit (REX or RTE) switch.
The REX switch might be a pushbutton or PIR. This input is frequently placed on the
secure side of a door to allow egress without a card read.
REX: See request to exit.
Site Code: An encoded three-digit number that differentiates one set of cards from
another. The site code is embedded by the manufacturer of the cards, usually at the
request of the user.
Sounder: The piezoelectric device at the back of the reader from which sounds, such as
alarms or confirmation beeps, emit: The Sounder is also referred to as the Sound Device.
Standard door open time: See Door open time.
Supervised input: An input that detects four states: normal, alarm, open circuit, and
short circuit.
