InfoProx Entry
Introduction
1. Important Safety Information
The safety guidelines for InfoProx 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 InfoProx
Entry, EtherProx 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.
Introduction
InfoProx Entry
·
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
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 InfoProx Entry Reader is a compact door control unit that provides a
sophisticated, cost effective solution for single-door access monitoring and control.
InfoProx Entry combines a proximity card reader and keypad with status indicators in a
self-contained door control unit that is compact and discreet. The unit is housed in a
weatherproof polycarbonate enclosure with a two-line LCD display screen and three LED
indicators. Access to a secured area can be controlled in several ways: card swipe only,
Software House
InfoProx Entry
Introduction
card swipe plus personal identification number (PIN), or PIN only. Also, control may be
implemented for entry-only or entry and exit access.
InfoProx Entry is ideal for controlling a single door, usually in a remote area. It can be
used for businesses, leisure facilities, members-only clubs and secure areas in public
buildings.
InfoProx Entry maintains a database of valid cards. Cards are added by accessing the
Administration menu at the keypad. The Administration menu allows you to configure an
InfoProx Entry. You can configure door open time, site-code, and other features.
InfoProx Entry Software Utility, an optional Microsoft Windows-based software application,
is available for use with the InfoProx Entry unit. The user database and configuration data
can be downloaded to a PC workstation used for backup purposes. This data can then be
uploaded to the unit’s database in the event of data loss on the InfoProx Entry unit.
Another feature of InfoProx Entry is the ability to interpret the configuration and database
files uploaded from the unit, and produce a report in the event the database and the
backup are both lost. This report can also be used to compile lists of cardholders stored in
the InfoProx Entry database.
The InfoProx Entry is one of Software House’s suite of integrated products and services.
Description
InfoProx Entry is housed in a fully encapsulated polycarbonate electronics
enclosure that is both weather and vandal resistant. InfoProx Entry is designed to
mount on a standard electrical containment box. The keypad is required for PIN
validation, access to the Administration menu, and data entry. InfoProx Entry
supports HID 26-bit, HID 32-bit, and HID (Software House) 37-bit Wiegand
proximity technology, which are licensed from HID Corporation. The following are
cards and read ranges that are supported:
·
ISOProx® ll Card

An optional exit reader can be connected to the door control unit to create an
entry/exit reader configuration for IN/OUT control. Alternatively, a push button can
be connected as an input to the reader to provide egress from a controlled area
where no exit reader is provided.
The door control unit has four analog inputs and a set of dry relay contacts. The
analog inputs are intended for use with external sensors to monitor door position,
lock status, and a request-to-exit push button. The relay contacts are intended to
control a door strike or lock.
Initially, the administrator inputs the card ID numbers into the reader’s database.
When a card is read, access is granted if the card ID matches an ID in the
reader’s database. Card IDs not in the database are denied access.
Software House
Introduction
InfoProx Entry
Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) can be assigned to some or all cards to
increase security. Before access can be granted, a valid PIN must be entered after
a valid card is read.
The door control unit can be configured to allow access on entering a specific
Global Identification Number (GIN) during certain times of the day, without the
need for a card to be presented.
Card, configuration, transaction and alarm information is held in the InfoProx Entry
memory. Recording of alarms and card transactions are also stored for future
upload to a workstation.
Optional Software
The optional InfoProx Entry software utility can be installed on an IBM compatible
PC, running Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me or NT 4.0 operating systems.
This application is used to add or remove card records, configure communications,
upload and backup data, and produce reports.
Communication between the door control unit and the software application is
established through an RS232/485 converter plugged into a serial port on the back
of a PC. A normal Cat 5 patch cable connects the converter to a female RJ45
connector, providing cable connection to the InfoProx Entry, as shown in the
following diagram:

When the PC software is running, a backup copy of the reader database can be
uploaded from the computer to the reader unit. This data can be used to provide a
backup copy should the reader database need to be regenerated; used to
generate reports of card details or to configure other InfoProx Entry units by
uploading a data file.
Door Control Unit Administration
The menu on the InfoProx Entry (the door control unit) is used to configure its
operational settings and to maintain the card database. To preserve security,
access to the menu is password protected. An authorized administrator can use
the menu to carry out a variety of functions, which includes:

Reader Types
Software House manufactures three versions of readers: EtherProx Entry, InfoProx
Entry, and InfoProx Exit. 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.
Since all the readers look alike, it is important to understand the SPASS identification
codes that appear on the back of the units in order to identify the readers and to verify
that you have the correct type of reader for your installation. On the back of each unit,
the SPASS code appears, as follows:
Note
·
IPE: InfoProx Entry
·
IPX: InfoProx Exit
·
EPE: EtherProx Entry
The InfoProx Entry can be used only as an Entry Reader; an Entry Reader
cannot be used as an exit reader.
Preparing to Install InfoProx
There are several ways to install an InfoProx 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 294-compliant.
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.

4. InfoProx Hardware Installation
The enclosure is designed to mount directly onto a standard UK or European (French)
electrical containment box (USA installations require an adapter plate), and standard
conduit and fittings can be used. A clear polycarbonate screen covers the LCD for
protection.
Cables are pulled through the conduit and terminated in the containment box. The
following cables are required:
Cable
Connector
2-pair (Belden 8723) cable for power and data
4-pin socket (J3)
5-pair (max) cable for inputs and output
10-pin socket (J2)
2-pair (Belden 8723) cable to exit reader
4-pin socket (J3)
1 RS485 cable for female RJ45 connector
4-pin socket (J5)
The various cables use Phoenix Contact connectors for the unit’s inputs and outputs.
The cables are secured into screw terminals. A flat blade screwdriver of 1/8” or less is
recommended.
The Phoenix Contact terminals used for the power and
communication connections can accommodate two leads
fitted into one terminal.
Two stainless steel tamper-resistant mounting screws are supplied and are concealed
behind specially molded covers when installation is complete.

Power Connections
Power is supplied to the board by a J3 connector. In Figure 2, the diagram
identifies the location of the terminal and power connections:
Figure 2:Terminal and Power Connections
The total cable length between the power supply and the reader depends upon the
cable used and whether or not an exit reader is connected. See the following
instructions regarding voltage:
1.
For long cable runs, use Table 1, Voltage Table, to figure the voltage drop of
the cable between the power supply and the reader.
2.
Subtract the result from the power supply’s output voltage.
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:
Software House
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 Table 1, Voltage Table to calculate the voltage,
multiply 3 (300 ft) times the 1.6V drop = -4.8 drop for the 300
ft. span. Subtracting 4.8 from the 12V supply = 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.

Getting to know the configuration setup
Becoming familiar with the terms used in the setup procedure will assist you in the
configuration setup of the door control unit. Here are the terms and the preparation
requirements you need to know.
Terms to Know Before Configuration Set Up
·
Config Time: This is your current time in 24-hour format, represented
by current hour and minutes. T=HH:MM DD/MM/YY.
·
Config TZ: Configure Time Zone. A single time zone can be assigned
to a door control unit in order to facilitate cardholder access. Time zone
allows you to split the day into two sections, Normal mode (i.e., Card
plus Pin) and Time Zone mode. Time Zone mode can be either Free
(Door unlocked), Swipe (Card Only), or Pin (such as GIN).
The Pin mode does not refer to the Pin associated with a card, but rather the
Global Identification Number (GIN) that can be used by all personnel once
the Time Zone mode is set to Pin.
Note
The three Time Zone modes are less restrictive than the Normal mode.
The Time Zone is usually set for the day shift and the non-Time Zone is
the rest of the 24 hours.
26
·
Config TZ Start: Configure Time Zone Start Time or the time at which
the Time Zone will change from Normal to one of the other three
choices.
·
Config TZ End: Configure Time Zone End Time or the time at which
the mode will change back to Normal.
·
Config TZ Type: There are four types of access control associated
with time zones: Normal Mode (card and PIN); PIN-Only Mode; Free
Mode (door open or unrestricted-access mode; Card-Only Mode. These
modes are explained in section 3.
·
Config I/Ps: Configure the unit’s inputs. There are four inputs: 0 to
monitor door position; 1 to monitor lock status; 2 to monitor request to
exit (RTE/RTX) switch status; and 3 is a spare input. These inputs are
set at the factory. If users want to re-configure these inputs, they
should contact your Dealer or Technical Support (see page 58).
·
Set Drsk: Set the Door Strike Time. This setting determines the span
of time a door lock will remain open after a card has been swiped or a
PIN entered. The default time is five seconds. The door strike relay will
automatically reset when the door is opened.
·
Set Drclose: Set the Door Close Time. This setting determines the
span of time a door can remain open (door held) before an alarm is
triggered. The default time is 15 seconds.
·
Set GIN: Set Global Identification Number. GIN is access without
cards during a Time Zone. For instance, if a Time Zone is setup from
Software House
InfoProx Entry
Configuring the Door Control Unit
08:00 to 17:00, personnel who know the GIN are allowed access during
these hours, but after the Time Zone expires, entrance is allowed only
to cardholders. The default GIN is 1234.
·
Set Scode: Set Site Code. If the site code is entered into the InfoProx
door control unit, then all cards read by the unit must have this site
code to be valid and to enable access.
If no site code is configured during setup, the unit will allow any card,
regardless of the site code, to be added and used to enable access.
However, this condition may not provide the degree of security desired.
By default, the site code is set to –1. If the site code is set to
0 by the user, it will revert to the default or –1. This default
allows any added card to be used as valid.
If the site code is enabled after cards are entered, the unit
will check the validity of all cards in the unit’s database and
match to the site code. If the previously entered cards have
no site code or have site codes that do not match, then the
cards will be invalid and will not work to enable access.
To preview the modes, users should view the Configuration screens by pressing
#. After previewing the Set Scode screen, pressing # will return users to the
Administration menu, where they can again enter 3-Config to start the
configuration process.
Before you begin configuring
The following list prepares you for the material you will need for the setup
process.
Software House
·
Current time, including day, month, and year
·
If the optional time zone setup is desired, decide on a time zone time
parameter and who will be given access. You can have only one time
zone per door control unit. If no time zone is setup, then access will be
on a 24-hour clock and accessible with a valid card and PIN associated
with the card. If there is no PIN associated with the card, then access
will be allowed by presenting just the card, assuming that it is a valid
card in the database.
·
Determine if the factory defaults are adequate for door strike time and
door close time. If not, determine an appropriate time for the setup.
·
If you are going to use a Global Identification Number (GIN) with a
number other than the default of 1234, use a 4-digit GIN.
·

Time zone types
Once Timezone start and end have been set, you can define an operating mode
by choosing a time zone type. If you don’t want to use time zone types, press # at

Figure 8 illustrates the most common time zones between a start and end time of
8:00 am (08:00) and 5 pm (17:00).
Figure 8: Common time zone configuration
Because Normal Mode (Card and PIN) is the default mode for the reader, which
is in effect 24 hours, setting up a time zone for Normal mode is only useful for
weekends, holidays, or special situations. For instance, a time zone might be set
to Free or PIN from 08:00 to 17:00 Monday through Friday, but on weekends, the
administrator might set the time zone type to Normal, allowing access only with a
card. You could then set the time zone to Free or PIN on Monday, which allows
the time zone times to stay intact. Then the administrator only has to change time
zone types each week.

Card Management
InfoProx Entry
The hotstamp number is usually the number stamped on
the card. This number is not always the same as the
embedded system number. For this reason, the hotstamp
number is more or less an arbitrary number, which means
the hotstamp number does not have to be used if the
company has another system of numbering. However, as a
rule, it may be more convenient to use the hotstamp
number on the card for administrative purposes and for
convenience. If the software utility is used, these numbers
are listed in the database in conjunction with the system
number.
If the hotstamp number is fewer than eight-digits, it must
be preceded with zeros. The Ù key can be used to reset
the display and overwrite any errors.
Use Ù to correct errors during the procedure. When a PIN is successfully entered,
prompts indicate either that the card number has been added or that the card
number already exists in the database. If the card is already in the database, reenter a PIN. The display then reverts to the I/P NUM prompt.
Use # at any time to return to the I/P NUM prompt. If # is entered; however, the
card will not be added. If fewer than four digits are entered for the PIN, the prompt
returns to the I/P NUM prompt after a timeout period. If this occurs, the card is not
added.

Technical Description
InfoProx Entry
8. InfoProx Technical Description
The Software House InfoProx Entry Reader is considered to be the industry's smallest
proximity reader to incorporate an LCD and a keypad. Designed to be simple to install and
easy to use, the InfoProx reader can feed information about transaction outcomes directly
back to the cardholder.
The InfoProx Entry reader is intended to control access to restricted areas and is
designed to be as compact and discreet as possible. The reader consists of the following
main units:
·
A read-head.
·
Twelve character, standard layout, tactile response keypad that allows
Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) to be used.
·
Three high-intensity LED indicators: red, green, and amber.
·
Two-line by sixteen-character Supertwist LCD with backlight.
·
Flame-retardant polycarbonate enclosure containing fully encapsulated
electronics, sealed to IP65, and protected by a tamper sensor.
These parts are housed inside a polycarbonate enclosure with a LCD screen and three
LED indicators. The reader’s electronics are sealed so that it is both weather and vandal
resistant. If a fault occurs, the unit can be replaced and the reader can be made
operational in minimal time; this replacement will not affect other readers.
The reader electronics are totally encapsulated, so the PCB components cannot be
accessed. The only components visible at the back of the reader are connectors, the
tamper sensor and the buzzer. Despite being small enough to mount onto an electrical
containment box, the InfoProx Entry reader has the ability to display up to 32 characters
of useful information for the cardholder and administrator.
The reader may be mounted directly onto a standard UK or European electrical
containment box (USA installations require an adapter plate). Standard conduit and
fittings can be used. Two stainless steel tamper-resistant fixing screws are supplied,
which are concealed behind specially molded covers when installation is complete.
The keypad is used to open a password-protected administration menu. The menu allows
the device to be configured locally, including PIN validation is required, which offers
additional security.
The InfoProx reader controls all local door functions, thereby removing the need for
additional controllers or I/O (Input/Output) units.
Readers run on a nominal 12 volt supply (7V - 15VDC, 250 mA Max). Power can be
supplied either directly from a local source or from associated units. Power supply inputs
are filtered, Transzorb protected, and reverse voltage protected.

Software House
InfoProx Entry
Technical Description
Exit Readers
Each reader can service an additional exit reader, which can be used on the inner
side of a secure access point. The InfoProx Entry reader can have one full exit
reader with an LCD and a keypad.
The full exit reader is an InfoProx Entry reader, which differs from the entry in that
it does not have internal RAM and therefore cannot hold card IDs and status data.
The information is held in the attached entry unit’s database.
Inputs and Outputs
Each reader monitors up to four inputs: input 0 monitors door position; input 1
monitors lock status; input 2 is for push button; and input 3 is a spare unit.
Each reader has one relay, rated at 30VDC @ 5 Amps. For normal door mode,
this relay is reserved for door strike. For example, the relay automatically fires on a
valid card swipe. Each reader has a single dry contact relay that provides a control
signal to external units.
The relay is energized through a discrete, EEPROM-controlled switching circuit,
which determines the Relay Idle State.
The number of inputs and outputs can be extended. If the reader is connected to a
Door Interface Unit (DIU), conditions are monitored from the DIU directly, thus
freeing up all four inputs and one output on the reader.
The Read-Head
The Software House InfoProx Entry reader is manufactured to use proximity

the reader will display a message, similar to the following example:
InfoENTRY 16:30
Present card
The address and status of the reader are displayed on the top line, while the result
of the card swipe and the current time are displayed on the bottom line of the LCD.
LCD Contrast Control
The LCD contrast can be adjusted by using the Reader Setup program.
Note
See Section 7: Installation; “Setup procedure for the InfoProx Entry
reader.”
Batteries
A PCB-mounted 3.6V rechargeable Lithium battery provides backup power for the
RAM IC. The battery ensures that the database is maintained, even if the reader is
disconnected from the main power supply.
Circuitry is provided to permit trickle charging of this battery from the reader
supply.
Note

InfoProx Entry PCB
General
Reader electronics are totally encapsulated and therefore, PCB components
cannot be accessed. The only components visible at the back of the reader are
connectors, the tamper sensor, the RS485 terminator loop, and the buzzer. The
following major components of the reader are described in the following sections.
Relays
Each reader has a single dry contact relay that provides a control signal to external
units. The relay is energized through a discrete, EEPROM-controlled switching
circuit, which determines the Relay Idle State.
The Relay Idle State function (when the reader is available for a transaction)
defines whether a relay is:
·
Normally Closed - relay energized, opening on a valid card swipe or
power fail, Powered to Secure.
·
Normally Open - relay de-energized, closing upon a valid card swipe or
power fail, Powered to Unlock.
The Relay Idle State is configured through the reader setup program.
Note
Readers controlling fire exits may be configured Powered to Secure mode,
depending upon local codes.
Tamper Switch
An optical tamper sensor on the board activates when the unit is removed from the
wall, triggering an alarm.
Memory
The reader is supplied with a 512K Static RAM chip (HM628128LP-10 or
equivalent). During normal operation, the IDs of all valid cards are held in RAM.
Details of all transactions that occur at the reader are stored in RAM and can be
downloaded to the workstation when communications are restored.
Interconnections
InfoProx Entry reader is designed for ease of installation and maintenance.
Interface connections between the reader circuit board and external items, such as
the exit reader or door locks, are made by means of connectors mounted on the
back of the unit. The function of each of these connectors is detailed below.

Reader Inputs & Outputs
For standard door mode the following applies: input 0 monitors door position; input
1 monitors lock status; input 2 is for push button; and input 3 is a spare unit.
However, these defaults can be overwritten.
The reader has one relay, rated at 30VDC @ 5 Amps. In normal door mode, this
relay is reserved for door strike, such as relay automatically fires on a valid card
swipe. The four inputs and the relay output for the reader are connected in the tenway Phoenix Contact J2.

Reader Types
There are two types of readers: Door Readers and Control Post Readers.
Door Reader
1 Master reader (plus an optional full exit).
Application for the Reader
The Door Reader is designed to control and monitor a door/barrier. Input 0 to the
reader monitors the door position (open or closed); input 1 monitors the lock
status; input 2 is used for a request to exit; and the relay is used for the door
strike.
When a valid card is swiped through the read head, the door lock is released for a
time (lockopentime - configurable at the reader). Input 0 is masked or shunted for
a time (doorcloseafter), configurable at the reader to enable entry or exit through
the door.
If the door is still open after this time period has elapsed, the LCD displays a Door
Held Open alarm. If the door is not opened within lockopentime, the reader returns
to an idle state and the card has to be re-presented. A momentary contact switch
can be connected to input 2, allowing the door to be opened from the secure side
without activating an alarm. This is called request to exit (RTE or RTX).

Functional Checks
Use the diagnostic routine to check the inputs to the reader. Input 0 (door position)
and input 1 (lock status) should be ON when the door and lock are closed; these
inputs should be OFF when the door and lock are open. Input 2 should not be ON
unless the push button is pressed.
Control Post Reader
1 Master reader
Application for the Reader
The Control Post reader is designed for use at a manned location, where there is
no physical barrier. None of the inputs are reserved and a valid card swipe does
not fire a relay. The purpose of this mode is to record whether or not a person has
passed this point, providing data for a transaction report.
Functional Checks
Use the diagnostic routine to test the inputs to the reader. When in Control Post
mode, the reader’s four inputs are non-assigned and can be configured as
"normally on" or "normally off," depending on what the input is monitoring. A
diagnostic swipe will show the current state of these inputs.

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.
Download: The InfoProx door control unit is the central or controlling device from which
users download data to a backup program on a computer.
Entry Reader: The InfoProx Entry Reader is a door control unit with memory, enabling it
to work as a standalone access control device.
EtherProx System: A system defined by all the components that make EtherProx
function as an integrated door control unit.
Ethernet: The most widely used local area network (LAN), sending its communications
through radio frequency signals carried by coaxial cable to computers in the network.
TCP/IP is the most common software protocol for communication using the Ethernet.
Exit Reader: An InfoProx Exit reader connects to an Entry Reader (either EtherProx or
InfoProx) and serves as a remote access device or as a device on the secure side of a
door used to exit that door.
Extended door open time: Additional time that a door will be shunted. For example, you
can use extended door open time for disabled cardholders or for doors that are meant to
be held open longer such as airport loading gates.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP): A TCP/IP software protocol used to transfer files between
computers.
Gin: Global Identification number.
Global PIN: Global Personal Identification number.
Hardware address: See MAC address.
Hexadecimal Format: Hexadecimal is a convenient way to illustrate binary code values
with a numeric quantity using 0-15 digits and combining 0-9 + ABCDEF as values.
Example: 0025BA .
Hotstamp Number: A number stamped by the manufacturer on the outside of a card. It is
not always equivalent to the card number, which is the encoded system number.
IP Address: Internet Protocol address is the unique 32-bit number that serves as an
address for a node in a TCP/IP network, for example, 172.31.10.20.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD): A common display technology used by the reader.
Light Emitting Diode (LED):. A display technology that emits light when conducting
current.
Local Area Network (LAN): A communications network that serves users within a
confined geographical area. It is made up of servers, client workstations, and network
operating systems, such as Windows NT or Unix that allow various nodes to communicate
and share data within the LAN. Data transfer is managed by a transport protocol such as
TCP.

Lock sensing input: An input that monitors a lock sensor that is available on some locks.
Lock sensor: Indicates whether a lock is engaged.
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 RF technology.
Reader: The InfoProx Entry Reader is the door control unit; however, reading cards to
allow access is only 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: The site code is 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 InfoProx Reader from which sounds
emit, such as alarms or confirmation beeps. This is also called 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.
Swipe: To swipe a card is to present a card to the reader within the read range.
System Number: The system number is an embedded card number that appears in
hexadecimal format in the door control unit's LCD screen.

Tamper Sensor: A light-sensing device on the back of the reader that sounds an alarm
when the unit has been tampered with.
Time zone end: Specifies the end time for the time zone type.
Time zone start: Specifies the start time for the time zone type.
Time zone type: Specifies the access type. For example, GIN, Door override, or Card
only.
Transaction: Record of an event logged into a report file. Examples of events are alarms
or actions, such as door access, door forced, or door held.
Unlock time: See Door strike time.
Unsupervised input: An input that detects two states: normal and alarm.
Upload: From the software backup utility on a computer, the user can upload data to the
reader. The reader is the primary and controlling device from which you can download
data to a computer.
