Setup is quick—often under 15 minutes via an Ethernet connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the system connected?\u003c\/strong\u003e A LAN connection via a router is the most common setup for small networks. For remote access (WAN), you can connect via the internet, which requires port forwarding on your router. The software can also be hosted in the cloud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the software use SQL?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. While it defaults to Microsoft Database, migrating to SQL is straightforward. Instructions can be found on page 63 of the AC8000 Setup Guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there an extra cost or subscription for the software?\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, provided you install card readers for both entry and exit points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I create a multi-door system?\u003c\/strong\u003e Absolutely. Simply add more control cards and readers to your order. Connect the additional control cards to your router or hub and register them in the software. There is no limit to the number of control systems you can add.\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the system compatible with fingerprint readers?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Please email us for simple 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 installed no more than 80-90 meters from the control board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of cable should I use?\u003c\/strong\u003e We recommend high-quality 6- or 8-core shielded twisted-pair alarm cable (like Belden 9536) for best results. Do \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e use CAT5\/6 cable for card readers, as it significantly reduces operational distance and is prone to interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill my existing cards or key fobs work?\u003c\/strong\u003e Our readers are Wiegand 125kHz EM-RFID readers and are not compatible with Mifare cards\/fobs. However, if you already have Mifare card readers, the software will recognize them, allowing you to continue using your existing Mifare cards\/fobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere do the control cards get installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e The control 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 goes out?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the PC does not need to be running continuously. The control card can store up to 100,000 transactions offline. If the transaction log becomes full before you download the data, it will overwrite the oldest records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I fit a backup battery in the power supply cabinet?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the cabinet has space for a backup battery.
