Integration with NAPCO
- Vladislav Turzai
Integration with Napco works with the AV-08FB Android-based panel. By connecting the panel to Card Access Software v1.2.x, users can manage credentials through a single interface, eliminating the need for a separate web interface, which simplifies the process. The integration covers access control, video surveillance, and real-time monitoring, making the system flexible and convenient, especially for residential complexes and offices where quick management and rapid response to events are crucial.
Enable Device Integration in System Settings in Card Access Software v1.2.x
To enable device integration, go to the System Settings > System-wide Settings > General tab, and enable the 'Enable Device Integration' option. Then press Save. (You must do a full download to all your panels/locks after enabling)
Once enabled, under 'Configuration' you will see a new menu called 'Integration Devices' and also an 'Integration Profile' drop down on the general tab under the Configuration > Reader’s screen.
“New Integration Profile Shown Under Reader Screen”
Integration (BAS-IP) Configuration
Under Configuration > Integration Devices, Press New and Enter a Device Name.
Select Intercom as the Integration Device Type and -IP Intercom as the Integration Device
Enter the Device IP Address along with the username and password for that device
Select the device Time Zone (This is the Time Zone of your BAS-IP Device)
Press Save when complete
To find the Integration Device IP address, open a Windows command prompt and type arp -a. RUT can also be used for this purpose. This command will show you the connected IP addresses along with their MAC addresses. You can then locate the MAC address of the Integration Device from the list. The username and password are the Integration Device's administration credentials.
After creating an integration profile, navigate to the reader screen Configuration > Readers and assign the integration profile to the selected reader, then press Save.
Go to Access > Access Groups and add the reader to an access group. You must set a “Time Schedule” for the reader. Then press Save.
After the programming is complete, you can test the integration profile by following the steps below.
