Setup is typically completed within 15 minutes. A LAN connection via a router is the most common configuration, but WAN access (via internet connection and router port forwarding) and Cloud installation are also supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the software use SQL?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. While it defaults to a Microsoft Database, migrating to SQL is straightforward. Please refer to page 63 of the AC8000 Setup Guide for instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the software an extra cost or subscription?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The software is included with the system at no extra charge, and there are no annual subscription fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the system monitor both entry and exit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it can monitor both entry and exit, provided a card reader is installed on both sides of the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I create a multi-door system?\u003c\/strong\u003e Absolutely. You can expand the system by adding extra control cards and readers to your order. Simply connect the additional controllers to your router or hub and register them in the software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many control systems can I add?\u003c\/strong\u003e There is no limit to the number of control systems you can integrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use a card reader instead of an exit button?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, you can use a card reader, an exit button, or both as an exit device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the system compatible with fingerprint readers?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it is. The setup is very simple. Please email us for instructions on how to integrate a fingerprint reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum cable distance for card readers?\u003c\/strong\u003e Card readers should be positioned no more than 80-90 meters from the control board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of cable is required?\u003c\/strong\u003e We recommend using 6-core or 8-core shielded twisted-pair alarm cable. For best results, use a high-quality cable like Belden 9536. \u003cstrong\u003eDo not use CAT5\/6 cable for card readers\u003c\/strong\u003e, as this will significantly reduce the operational distance and may cause interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill my existing cards or key fobs work with this system?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is not possible to guarantee compatibility due to the variety of card formats. Our readers are Wiegand 125kHz EM-RFID and will not work with Mifare cards. However, if you use your own Mifare readers, the software will recognise them and allow you to use your existing Mifare cards\/fobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere do the control cards fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The cards are supplied with self-adhesive pads for easy installation inside the power supply unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the PC need to be on all the time? What happens if the power fails?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the PC does not need to be running continuously. The control card can store up to 100,000 offline transactions. To prevent data loss, it is important to download these transactions to your computer before the storage limit is reached, at which point the system will begin overwriting the oldest data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I fit a battery in the power supply cabinet?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, a backup battery can be fitted. The available space will depend on the number of control cards installed in the power supply cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied with:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x AC8002 Two-Door PC Access Control Board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot Supplied (Optional):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCard Readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExit Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock Releases (Standard or Magnetic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Door Entry Online","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56327240384776,"sku":"AC-8002","price":307.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/8294\/9896\/files\/AC8002-m.jpg?v=1775300039","url":"https:\/\/www.doorentryonline.co.uk\/products\/pc-access-control-board-ac8002-ac-8002","provider":"Door Entry Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
