5. Enter Reader Names: (Section 2.6 User Manual)
After you find all the systems readers, you will want to give each one a name so you can identify them.
1. Click on the "+" sign next to ‘All readers’, this will show you an icon for each reader.
2. Right click on one of the readers, and select properties.
3. Click on the Utilities Tab, verify the serial number and use the site plan to determine the reader ID.
4. Click on the Settings Tab, then the Edit button. Locate the field ‘Reader ID’ and enter the name for the reader.
Now click on the send button to send the name to the reader. Repeat for all readers
6. Create Access Groups: (Section 2.8 User Manual)
Anaccess groupdescribes agroup ofcardholders havingaccess toa specifiedlist ofreaders duringa specifiedTime Zone.
1. Right click on the Location, and select ‘New’, then ‘Access Group’ from the pull down menu.
2. Assign a Name for the Access Group which will best describe its function, along with a defined Time Zone from
1 to 15. To define Time Zones, refer to step 8.
7. Assign each card reader to an Access Group: (Section 2.9 User Manual)
1. Select a reader, left click and hold the mouse button down. Drag the reader over the top of the Access Group
and release the button. Repeat until all desired readers are in that Access Group. Click on the "+" sign next
to the Access Group to verify all the desired readers are there.
8. Defining Time Zones: (Section 2.7 User Manual)
There are 15 Time Zones in the SK-ACP. Time Zone 0 is always void, and Time Zone 1 is always valid. All the rest of
the Time Zones can be defined. You may edit the Time Zones to fit your specific needs. To edit a Time Zone, click on
the Time Clock Icon.
1. Select a Time Zone (2-15), and set the timed sections to green to allow access and red to deny access. The
button to the right of each row will make the entire day either red or green. This menu also allows you to set
antipassback and date restrictions. Press “Send” after setting up the Time Zone.
9. Block Loading Cards:
If you wish to allow users to be able to use the system before the user data base has been created, you may use the block
load feature. The block load feature allows you to put a range of cards into a selected access group. For each card in
the block, a user data base record is created that has only the card number and the access group. You can later edit these
records to add the user name and other user data.
1. Select the User Manager (Icon with two faces).
2. From the “Users” pull down menu, select “Add User Block”.
3. Enter the beginning and ending card numbers and select the Access Group.
4. Click on the “Send” button to send the card numbers to the card readers.
10. Entering Card Users: (Section 2.10 User Manual)
You have the option to enter your card users into the User Manager before control panel and card readers are installed.
However, you will have to later edit the user records to assign users to the newly created Access Groups. Therefore it is
a good idea to create the Access Groups (even if they do not as yet have readers in them, so that you can assign users
to them while entering the user).
1. Select the User Manager (Icon with two faces).
2. Click on the “+” button (User Detail Screen).
3. Enter all the card user information, including the Access Group.
4. Click the “3” button to save the information, in the card user database.
5. Repeat steps a, b, c, d until all card users have been entered.
6. Click on the “Send” button to send the card numbers to the card readers (if readers have been installed).
11. Test your programming:
Take a card and use it on each reader. Try using a card in the Master Users
group and then one from each other User Group. Look in the transaction
database (icon with the Magnifier Glass) to verify that each card is granted
or denied access correctly. 20447 Nordhoff Street• Chatsworth, CA 91311
