EntraPass offers you the ability to install two types of readers on the same controller (primary and secondary). This feature is only available with KT-100, KT-300 under Global and multi-site Gateways. For KT-400/KT-1, 8 different reader types can be loaded (this feature is supported with firmware 1.06 and later).

On a given controller, all reader types must be the same (Wiegand or ABA).

The  button allows you to install a custom driver for a specific controller. Moreover, using this button allows you to add the driver in the Reader+ Driver table, making it available the next time you want to configure a new controller.

This option can be used when a controller is removed temporarily but must not be deleted (when under repair, for example). It also allows operators to easily setup the software before the physical installation is completed.

The anti-passback option works with entry/exit readers. It allows security administrators to keep track of the number of monitored cardholders in an area. It is local to each controller defined by corresponding entry/exit readers. A relay can be activated when the counter reaches the number of cards defined to be inside the area; the relay is disabled when the number of cards in the area goes below the specified number.

For added security, you may select both options. The duress option is available on both Corporate and Global Gateways. The anti-passback programming is only available on a multi-site Gateway.

The Forgive Schedule section is enabled only when Soft anti-passback or Hard anti-passback item is selected.

The Activate relay section is enabled only when Soft anti-passback or Hard anti-passback item is selected.

Please refer to Schedules Definition for more details about schedule configuration.

1 - From the Controller definition window, select the KT-200 tab.

2 - In the Auxiliary devicessection, select the type of devices used with KT-200 controller.

•  Check the REB-8 relay option if REB-8 expansion boards are used as relays. Only 16 relays can be defined. If two REB-8 are added, the last two relays (the 17th and 18th relays) can be used to perform different actions. You have to specify the additional actions for the two relays in the Extra relay drop-down list.

•  Check the KT-2252 elevator controller and REB-8 relay option if KT-2252 are used as elevator controllers and REB-8 are used as relays on the same door controller. A maximum of four KT-2252 can be connected to the controller.

•  Check the REB-8 Elevator Controller option if REB-8 are used for elevator control. Up to four REB-8 can be used for elevator control.

Note...

When an elevator controller option is checked, an Elevator tab appears beside the KT-200 tab.

The Elevator tab allows you to specify which auxiliary devices are used with the KT-200 for elevator control and how they are used. Depending on the expansion board installed and on the option checked, the Elevator window displays the REB-8 Installed or KT-2252 Installed section.

1 - From the Controller definition window, select the KT-200 tab.

2 - In the Auxiliary devices section, select KT-2252 elevator controller, or KT-2252 elevator controller and REB-8 relay. The Elevator tab appears.

3 - To configure elevator controllers, select the Elevator tab. When KT-2252 elevator controllers are used, the Elevator mode section is enabled.

4 - In the Elevator mode section, check the appropriate number of floors. This indicates how the floors are controlled with the KT-2252.

•  Select 16 Floors if there is one KT-2252 for two cabs sharing the same floors.

•  Select 32 Floors if there is one KT-2252 per cab.

Note...

The Inputs column refers to the KT-2252 terminals. When floors have been defined (in the Floor  menu), the Floorscolumn contains the floors that are associated with the inputs.

•  In the KT-2252 installed section, specify the number of KT-2252 installed. The options are cumulative. If for example the KT-2252 #3 option is checked, KT-2252 #1 & 2 have to be checked as well. The following table summarizes how KT-2252 elevator controllers are used:

5 - In the Floors column, select the floors associated with KT-2252 controller terminals.

Note...

The Inputs column refers to the KT-2252 terminals. When floors have been defined (in the Floor  menu), the Floors column contains the floors associated with the inputs.

REB-8 relay expansion boards may be used as a cost-efficient alternative for elevator control. With a REB-8 expansion board added to a KT-200, the software may control up to two elevator cabs per controller.

1 - In the KT-200 definition window, select the REB-8 elevator controller option. When the option is selected, an Elevator tab appears beside the KT-200 tab. The REB-8 definition section is only active when REB-8 are used as relays.

2 - Select the Elevator tab to configure the REB-8 elevator controllers. Up to four REB-8 elevator controllers are supported.

3 - Specify the number of REB-8 that are installed on the controller. The selection is cumulative. For example, if four REB-8 are installed, the first three checkboxes have to be checked also. The following table summarizes how REB-8 are assigned to floors and to elevator cabs.

Note...

The Inputs column refers to the REB-8 terminals. When floors have been defined (in the Floor menu), the Floors column contains the floors that are associated with the inputs.

4 - In the Floors column, select the floors associated with REB-8 controller terminals. For details on floor definition and door group definition, see Doors Configuration.

Note...

There is no floor confirmation when an REB-8 is used as an elevator controller.

When REB-8 are used as relays, you need to specify how many relays are installed on the KT-200. The controller can handle a maximum of 16 accessible relays and already provides 2 on-board relays.

1 - Under the KT-200 tab, select the REB-8 relayoption if REB-8 are used as relays.

2 - If they are used with the KT-2252 elevator controller, select the KT-2252 elevator controller and REB-8 relay option. In either case, the REB-8 definition section is enabled.

3 - In the REB-8 Definition section, select the appropriate option: No REB-8, One REB-8 or Two REB-8.

4 - If two REB-8 are added (for a total of 18 relays), the last two relays can be used to perform different actions: select the use for the extra relays from the Extra relay drop-down list.

5 - Select the Status relay tab to program a relay or group of relays that will be activated when an event occurs.

The KT-400 support expansion modules through its SPI expansion port. The SPI port is a 6-conductor cable bus to which several expansion modules are daisy-chained to add inputs, outputs and relays.

Note...

The KT-400 SPI port maximum current draw is 500 mA, when the 12V AUX terminals are not used. External power supply (12 VDC, 2 Amps) for the expansion module is required when the total current draw exceeds 500mA on the SPI Port. For additional hardware details, please refer to the KT-400) Installation Manual, DN1726.

Three expansion module types are available:

•  KT-MOD-INP16: The KT-MOD-INP16 is an input module that adds 240 zones to the KT-400 controller. Up to 15 input modules (16 input modules if used for elevator configuration) can be connected to a KT-400 for a total of 240 external inputs. Adding the 16 onboard inputs of the KT-400 gives a total of 256 inputs per KT-400. For further details, check the KT-MOD-INP16 KT-400 Expansion Module 16-Zone Input with SPI Cable, Install Sheet, DN1776.

•  KT-MOD-OUT16: The KT-MOD-OUT16 is a 16-output module. It can be used for elevator access control with additional hardware. Up to 16 output modules can be connected to a KT-400 for a total of 256 outputs. For further details, check the KT-MOD-OUT16 KT-400 Expansion Module 16-Output with SPI Cable, Install Sheet, DN1781.

•  KT-MOD-REL8: The KT-MOD-REL8 is an 8-relay outputs expansion module used as general relays or elevator control outputs. Up to 32 relay modules can be connected to a KT-400 for a total of 256 relays. For further details, check the KT-MOD-REL8 KT-400 Expansion Module 8-Relay Output with SPI Cable, Install Sheet, DN1786.

The following table summarizes the options associated with each module:

Note...

There are already 4 relays available on the KT-400. Make sure to check the relay number assignments to prevent redundancy unless it has been planned on purpose.

The 9-16 relay configuration is set by default.

1 - If an expansion module(s) is(are) connected to a KT-400, click the Expansion module configurationbutton. The Expansion modules setup appears.

2 - To add a KT-MOD-INP16, select the Input Module tab and then click on Add. If there is more than one input modules listed, make sure that you select the correct one before changing the input assignments. Assign names to the modules in the language fields and choose the options.

3 - Select the DEOL: Double end-of-line resistor JP4 On checkbox to define a KT-MOD-INP16 module in DEOL.

Note...

The entire expansion board is used to provide 8 inputs with DEOL. These 8 inputs are added of the next group of 8 inputs. For example, if inputs #33-40 are linked to a DEOL module, inputs #33-40 and #41-48 will not be available for other modules.

Controller inputs 1-16 are reserved to the inputs on the KT-400.

4 - Selection of the inputs numbers can be done in two ways: using the drop-down menu or the Extended selection box. Right-click on the inputs menu selection to view the Extended selection box, see Using the Extended Selection Box

Note...

This is an exclusive condition. You cannot select the same item in the Inputs drop-down menu and in the Elevator inputs drop-down menu because it will be a duplicate, and the system does not accept any duplicate. For example, Inputs # 17-24 cannot be selected twice. Another way to let you understand this concept, is that in the Elevator inputs menu the same item will not be available for the same door. The same concept applies for the Elevator outputs menu.

5 - To add a KT-MOD-OUT16, select the Output Module tab and then click on Add. When you click on the Add button, a menu appears and lets you select which output module you want to add. Assign names to the modules in the language fields and choose the options.

6 - To add a KT-MOD-REL8, select the Output Module tab and then click on Add. When you click on the Add button, a menu appears and lets you select which output module you want to add. Assign names to the modules in the language fields and choose the options.

Warning: There are already 4 relays available on the KT-400. Make sure to check the relay number assignments to prevent redundancy unless it has been planned on purpose.

7 - From the Summary tab, you can modify all the modules. Make sure to highlight the module you want to modify in the left column before doing any modifications on the right side.

8 - When you have finished configuring the expansion modules, click the OK button to go back to the KT-400 configuration window.

2 - Assign a name for both languages for the 1st controller local area.

3 - Select the Forgive schedule from the drop-down menu.

4 - Enter the maximum number of cards allowed in the Cards threshold field.

5 - Check the Deny access on area full box to prevent more users to enter the area after the cards threshold has been reached.

6 - Click on the three-dot to select the relay or the relay group to activate when the cards threshold has been reached.

7 - Repeat steps 2 to 6 for each controller local area.

Note...

The Elevator tab displays only when expansion modules have been defined as inputs or outputs for elevators under the KT-400 tab.

For KT-400 controller, it is possible to choose up to four patterns to define door and floor numbers that will be associated with each pattern. By default, pattern 1 specifies all door numbers.

1 - In the Controller window, click the elevator tab to define the floor associations.

2 - In the Elevator tab, click Pattern #2, and then select the appropriate Door number check box(es).

3 - From the Floors drop-down menu, select the appropriate item or floor number to associate with the door number and the pattern number.

4 - Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each pattern.

5 - Click Save.

Note

To define floors, please refer to Floor Definition.

The enrolment button is used to send an “enroll me” request to EntraPass with the controller status which includes:

•  IP address

•  How it is powered (PoE or 12 VDC)

•  Full Status

1 - The installers press the enrollment button.

2 - The controller then sends information for a period of 10 minutes at 30 seconds intervals.

3 - Once the 10 minutes delay is expired, the controller stops sending information.

Note...

For the enrollment process to be allowed for a given operator, it must first be enabled in System/Security Level/Devices/Connection/Enrollment.

When an enrollment request is received, a circled digit will be displayed at the bottom right side of the workstation main window. The digit indicates the number of unassigned controllers. When there is only one unassigned controller, double-click on the circle to open the Enrollment Wizard. Follow instructions on the screen. You can also do a right-click on it to display a contextual menu that contains the following options:

•  Define: Display the Enrollment Wizard.

•  Full Status: Displays the full status window. Provide a pop-up box with the IP address, how it is powered (IP or 12 VDC) and the full status information.

•  Delete: Remove the selected controller from the list.

•  Assign to an account.

When EntraPass receives data from the KT-1 enrollment process it adds the controller to the controllers unassigned list. the "Controller was added to the unassigned list” event is then generated with the following parameters:

•  Gateway description

•  MAC Address

•  Device type

The unassigned controllers list displays:

•  Date and time (when it was added to the list) of the gateway

•  Controller model

•  MAC Address

•  Serial Number

•  Broadcast received IP address

Note

The unassigned controller list can have a limited number of 100 entries.
