2. Overview
This section gives a brief overview on Aperio Locks and how Aperio Locks get used with
Access Portal.
Example network diagram & configuration requirements
Aperio is an Assa Abloy technology that enables mechanical locks to be wirelessly linked to a
new or existing access control system, while Access Portal is a modern Access Control
system that makes use of client server architecture. A typical Access Portal installation
consists of proprietary Impro hardware but can also be used with OEM access control
hardware such as Aperio Locks.
Aperio locks connect wirelessly to a communications hub which in turn connects via
ethernet to the Access Portal server. To achieve this, the Aperio Programming Application
needs to be used to pair locks to a communications hub and to configure a communications
hub to communicate with Access Portal.
Although Aperio v3 Locks support an offline cache of up to 200 credentials over the last 30
days, we recommend that the offline cache is only used if you are confidant the network will
only drop in emergencies. Since the offline cache does not follow any authentication rules,
a tagholder would be able to access a door after hours, etc if the network dropped or the
Access Portal server was down for maintenance.
Communications between Access Portal and the communication hub is encrypted using TLS.

The certificate of which needs to be provided when configuring Access Portal. This can be a
self signed certificate.
Aperio communication hubs and locks are installed into Access Portal as system controllers
and readers emulating impro hardware. Tagholders are enrolled into Access Portal and
granted access to doors as per normal.
Steps for using Aperio Locks with Access Portal
1. Physically install locks and communication hubs. Remember that there is a limit to the number of locks
that can be paired with a communication hub and you should plan accordingly
.
2. Configure communication hubs and pair the correct locks to those hubs.
3. Install Access Portal v1.8.6 or later on an access control server.
4. Install Aperio hardware into Access Portal and configure.

3. Aperio Hardware Configuration
Prerequisites for configuring Aperio Communication Hubs and Locks.
1. Communication Hubs and Locks need to be installed.
2. The Installer needs a Laptop with:
a. The Aperio Programming Application installed.
b. The Aperio PAP tool to communicate wirelessly to an Aperio Communications Hub.
c. A site configuration file from Aperio that is unique to the installation.
Step 1: Launch the Aperio Programming Application and create a new installation
Aperio Programming Application - New Installation Window
Fields for the New Installation Window
●The installation name should be a meaningful name that will identify the installation in the future.
Possibly consider using a a business name or address.
●The password entered here will be required every time you need to later make changes to the
configuration of a communication hub or one of its paired locks. The password must be at least 8
characters long and container at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter and one number.
●The Key File is received from Aperio and should be unique per installation to ensure maximum
security. Once the Aperio Installation has been locked to Customer mode, only the correct Key File
will be able to access the site.

Step 2: Use the quick scan button to search for a communication hub to configure
Aperio Programming Application - Main installation window
Step 3: Select the communication hub from the scan results
You need to select a communications hub to configure. The next step is to pair locks with
the communication hub.
Aperio Programming Application - Scan for communication hubs result.

Step 4: Pair the communication hub with locks
At this step we need to initiate the process of pairing locks to the communication hub that
we selected in the previous step.
4.1 Right click the communications hub, select Communication Hub followed by Pair with a
lock or sensor.
Aperio Programming Application - Main installation window with selected communications hub
4.2 You should see the below dialog. You now have 30 seconds to present a tag to locks
that you want paired to the communication hub. If you don’t have enough time, repeat
from step 4.1.
Aperio Programming Application - Pairing in progress.

4.3 Check that all of the locks that were expected to be paired with the communication hub
are displayed in the main window. If not, repeat from step 4.1
Aperio Programming Application - Result of pairing locks to a communication hub.
Site map
It is a good idea to have a site map handy so that you can check that the required devices have been
detected. The site map will also be useful later when you need to configure doors in Access Portal. You can
use the site map to check what a door should be named and that the correct entry and exit reader are being
configured for a door.
8
Step 5: Configure the locks
To configure a lock, right click the lock from the main configuration window, -> select
lock sensor -> select configure. This will launch a configuration wizard that will take
you through the steps required to configure the locks.
Current configuration settings are not always displayed
For example, the override credentials section does not show current override credentials. Any changes that
you make will be the actual settings used. For example, when loading override credentials, the newly added
credentials will replace the old credentials.
Aperio Programming Application - Lock RFID
Configuration
In this section you need to enable the tag / credential
technology that the lock will use. Ideally only enable
the technology that will be used to save the battery life
and improve security.
Access Portal makes use of a tag's UID for
authentication so leave tag type configuration on UID.
●MIFARE Classic
●MIFARE Plus
●MIFARE DESFire
●MIFARE Ultralight
●Low Frequency
●Legic
Aperio Programming Application - Lock General
RFID Configuration
●Configure RFID Search Order - From here you
can specify the order in which the lock should
try technologies to read a tag. The most
commonly used technology should be at the top
of the list to save on battery usage.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON SECURITY
●Smart Credential Cache - Although Aperio v3
Locks support an offline cache of up to 200
credentials over the last 30 days, we
recommend that the offline cache is only used if
you are confident that the network will only
drop in emergencies. Otherwise the cache
could undermine access decisions made by
Access Portal.
