If you press Key 1/Key 2 and open the lock, the elevator call button will appear. The elevator will be called to the floor where the panel is installed to move up.

• Auto call when opening the lock mode calls an elevator every time the lock is open (from the monitor, Link app, bringing the identifier to the panel) and can be used for such specific cases.

• Access control manual mode allows moving only to floors that are available for the applied identifier. 16 ports are available for movement. This mode is recommended to use in combination with another module with Up-down, Up, or Down modes. Floor restrictions you can configure in the Access management tab. 

Device ports state 

In this section, you can check and test each port of the elevator controller. There is an opportunity to open/close the port remotely by choosing the relay state and set the open time (in msec.) during which the relay will be closed/open. After selecting the status and setting the time, click Submit to apply settings.  

Floors and ports settings 

This section configures floor settings and links floor logical addresses with the required port. 

How to add floor and link it with port/s

1. Log in to the device web interface. By default, the username is admin and the password is 123456.

2. Go to the Device tab > Floors and ports section.

3. Click Add.

4. Enter all required data:

   • Elevator name;

   • Port No. (from 8 or 16) that connected to this floor at the controller. You can select more than 1 port, if necessary. 

   • Floor No.; 

   • Numbers of apartments that are on this floor. This information is important if you want to configure access to the floor for apartments that are located on it only;

   • Whether the floor is public or not. If it is public, users will always have access to it despite their identifier settings (whether users have access to the floor or not); 

5. Click Confirm. 

6. Submit settings to save data.

As a result, you will have a table with information about the number of added floors, their names, the numbers of apartments that are on the exact floor, whether the floor is public or private, and the number/s of ports that are linked with the floor.  If necessary, you can edit the informationin table or deleteone or more entries. 

Configuring Two-Step Mode for EVRC-IP

Two-Step Mode is a new functionality of EVRC-IP designed to enhance the security and convenience of elevator usage. It enables automatic elevator calls to a designated floor and manages access to other floors based on identifiers. This mode allows precise control over movement within the building, making the system more flexible and reliable.

Key Features of the Two-Step Mode

1. Automatic Elevator Call
   When a user interacts with the system (e.g., unlocking a door via the monitor or Link app), the elevator is automatically called to a designated floor where the panel or access point is located.

2. Floor Access Restriction
   Inside the elevator cabin, only the buttons for authorized floors are activated based on the user's identifier (card, code, UKEY). This prevents unauthorized access to restricted floors.

3. Flexible Configuration
   Administrators can set individual access parameters for residents, guests, and other user groups, including time-based restrictions or limits on the number of accesses.

Benefits of the Mode

• Enhanced Security: Prevents unauthorized access and ensures precise control of movement within the building.

• Ease of Use: Minimizes user actions through automated elevator calls.

• Flexible Configuration: Suitable for various use cases, including complex facilities with multiple access points and user types.

Conditions for Proper Operation of the Two-Step Mode

To ensure the two-step mode functions correctly in all scenarios (e.g., opening the door via the Link App, using a QR code, card, or monitor), the following settings must be configured:

1. The apartment must be added to the panel. This links user actions to specific premises and allows for identifying their access rights.

2. A forward associated with the apartment must be configured in the panel. The forward ensures the transmission of identifier data and its linkage to the apartment.

3. An identifier linked to the apartment must be configured in the system. This identifier defines permissions for elevator operations, including access to specific floors.

Configuration Steps

In this example, the two-step mode setup is described using an identifier not linked to an apartment. This approach can be useful for testing or specific scenarios. For the correct operation of the feature in real-world conditions, it is recommended to follow the settings provided in the 'Conditions for Proper Operation of the Two-Step Mode' section.

Step 1. Configuring the Panel and Elevator Controller

At this stage, the panel must already be installed at the main entrance to the building or the area associated with elevator access, and the EVRC-IP controller must be connected to the elevator. Next, the panel and controller need to be linked within the local network. To do this, follow these steps:

Panel

1. Go to the panel configuration page.

2. Open the Panel section.

3. In the Apartment Settings window, check if the location of your panel is correctly specified. If the location is incorrect, make the necessary changes.

4. Click Submit to apply the changes.

Controller

1. Go to the EVRC-IP controller configuration page.

2. Open the Device section.

3. In the Apartment Settings window, check if the controller's location is correctly specified and ensure it matches the panel's settings. If the location is incorrect, make the necessary changes.

4. Click Submit to apply the changes.

5. In the Device settings window, select the Access control manual mode.

6. Configure all necessary parameters in the Device settings window according to your system requirements.

7. Click Submit to save the changes.

8. Go to the Floors and Ports Settings window.

9. Click ADD to add a new floor.

10. In the newly opened window, specify the floor name in the Name field.

11. If the floor is public (e.g., Ground Floor), check the Public checkbox. If a panel is installed on the floor, check the Panel installation floor checkbox.

12. Specify the floor number in the Floor field. Each floor must have a unique number.

13. In the Ports field, select the port (relay) associated with this floor. This field is mandatory.

14. In the Apartments field, add the apartment numbers linked to this floor. If the floor is public or has a panel, leave this field empty.

15. Click CONFIRM to save the floor.

16. Repeat the same process for other floors, adding them using the same principles.

17. Click Submit to save the changes.

Step 2. Configuring Two-Step Mode Functions

1. Go to the panel settings located on the floor associated with the elevator's operation.

2. Open the Access management section.

3. Scroll down to find the Additional settings window.

4. In the Floor number (Elevator controller) field, select the floor where the call panel is installed. This determines the floor to which the elevator will be directed when the panel settings are triggered.

5. Configure the use of two-step mode functions by activating the checkboxes that correspond to the panel operation scenarios you need.

6. Click Submit to save and apply the settings.

Step 3. Adding Identifiers

To ensure the correct operation of the two-step mode, identical identifiers must be added to both the panel and the elevator controller.

Panel

1. Go to the panel settings.

2. Open the Access management section.

3. Navigate to the Identifiers subsection.

4. Click New identifier.

5. In the newly opened window, fill in the following fields:

   • Identifier type: Choose the type of identifier (e.g., Card, Access code, UKEY).

   • Identifier number: Enter a unique identifier number.

6. If necessary, configure restrictions:

   • Activate Period restriction to limit the identifier's validity period.

   • Activate Passes restriction to set a limit on the number of accesses.

7. Specify the lock in the Lock # field.

8. To set time restrictions, go to the TIME PROFILES tab and configure the required parameters.

8. Click CONFIRM to save the identifier.

Controller

1. Go to the EVRC-IP controller settings.

2. Open the Access management section.

3. In the Identifiers subsection, click New identifier.

4. In the newly opened window, fill in the following fields:

   • Number: Enter a unique identifier number (e.g., card or code number).

   • Type: Select the type of identifier (e.g., Card, UKEY, Access code).

   • Owner name: Enter the name of the identifier's owner.

   • Owner type: Specify the role of the owner (e.g., Owner or Guest).

   • Floors: Select the accessible floors from the list.

   • Apartments: Specify the associated apartments, if necessary.

5. Click CONFIRM to save the identifier.

Logs Overview: Verifying Identifier Usage

After adding and using the identifier, the system records the corresponding information in the logs of the panel and controller. This ensures that the identifier is successfully registered and functioning correctly.

Panel Logs

When the identifier is used, for example, when a card is tapped on the panel, the panel log records the following:

• The date and time of the identifier's usage.

• The identifier's category.

• The priority of the action (Low, Medium, High).

• Additional details in the Info column.

EVRC-IP Controller Logs

After the identifier data is transmitted from the panel to the elevator controller, the controller log records the access granted to a floor.

• The date and time of the event.

• The event category.

• The priority level of the event.

• A description of the event.

• Additional information.

Summary

• The panel logs the use of the identifier and actions related to the lock.

• The controller logs the access granted to specific floors.

These records help the administrator verify the correct operation of the system and easily locate data when diagnostics are needed.
