2 System Overview
The Aperio system
The Aperio system is used in the following way:
The user holds an RFID card in front of the lock.
The lock sends card credentials wirelessly to the
Communication Hub and the Communication
Hub (wired through RS-485 or Wiegand) then
communicates with an EAC (Electronic Access
Control) system. The EAC system then makes
the access decision. The decision is sent via the
Communication Hub to the lock and access is
granted or denied.
The Aperio Programming Application
The Programming Application is used for the
configuration of a door installation. It is installed
on a laptop. The laptop has an Aperio USB
radio device connected to one of its USB ports.
The USB radio device enables the application
to connect via a Communication Hub to the
door lock. The lock communicates via the
Communication Hub either with the EAC or with
the Programming Application. Read more in the
Aperio Online Programming Application Manual.
Regulatory and security information
Refer to the Programming Application manual
for regulatory and security information.
Communication hub versions and
EAC interface
There are four communication hub types
according to the table below:
Version Interface Maximum number of
locks/sensors paired
AH15 Wiegand/RS 485* 1
AH20 Wiegand 1
AH30 RS-485 8
AH40 IP (Ethernet) 8

3 Quick Installation of Aperio lock and
Communication Hub
A quick installation of Aperio lock and
communication hub starts with pairing the
hardware. In some cases lock/communication
hub are pre-paired from the factory. If not,
pairing can be done in two ways:
∙ Automatic pairing – The communication hub
automatically pairs with nearby Aperio lock/
sensor.
∙ Pairing with the Aperio Programming
Application – This is the recommended
method, where detailed settings and encrypted
communication are set.
Automatic pairing
Automatic pairing is obtained by setting the DIP Switch in Pairing mode (refer to the Mechanical
installation manual/communication hub manual).
Automatic pairing will only be made with unpaired locks.
Communication hub and locks may be sold pre-paired from factory. If this is the case, the
following pairing procedure is not necessary. However, configuration using the Aperio Pro-
gramming Application is still needed.
To perform pairing with communication hubs set in Pairing mode, do the following:
1) Power cycle the communication hub if necessary and check that the LED is constant yellow.
YellowPairing active
2) Hold the credential in front of the lock to activate it, or engage the magnet for the sensor.
Result: Communication hub pairs with lock/sensor and indicates with one green flash.

one green flash
Pairing succeded
3) After successful paring, power off the communication hub.
4) Deactivate paring mode and set the desired EAC address: AH15/30 RS485: Set the DIP switch 1-5 to desired
address: 1-15/16-31 (1-S/1-1). AH15/20 Wiegand: Set the DIP switch 5 to OFF.
AH40 Ethernet: Move the pairing mode jumper to the right position or remove it.
5) Power the communication hub to start up for normal operation.
Locks/sensors and communication hubs that are automatically paired will communicate in
Manufacturer mode. It is required to activate Customer mode by using the Programming
Application when finalizing, according to next section, to obtain encrypted communication.

Paring with the Aperio Programming Application
The Programming Application is used to access
detailed settings and encrypted communication
(Customer mode) during the pairing process of
locks/sensors and communication hubs.
Using the Programming Application also allows
you to establish encrypted communication
between locks/sensors and communication
hubs. This is achieved with a customer key,
obtained from your ASSA ABLOY supplier.
This chapter describes a complete installation,
applicable for most EAC system using a standard
configuration.
To communicate with communication hubs
and locks/sensors through the Programming
Application, you also need a USB Radio dongle.
For installation of the Programming Application
and the USB Radio dongle, refer to the Aperio
Online Programming Application manual, ref [1].
Information of encryption key
To obtain secure communication between
communication hubs and locks/sensors an
Encryption key is used. This Encryption Key
should be handled with the same care as the
Master Key in a traditional Master Key System.
A person with access to the Encryption key can
gain unauthorized access to any Aperio door in
the system. Once loaded into the Programming
Application, it will be stored encrypted in a local
database and should be erased from the hard
drive.
The encryption key file is delivered from your
local ASSA ABLOY company and should be be
stored safely.
Proper handling of encryption keys is
essential to lock/sensor security!
It is absolutely necessary to use the
customer encryption key by setting all
communication hubs and locks/sensors
in Customer mode to ensure a secure
and encrypted communication with the
lock/sensor.

A complete configuration includes the following
steps:
∙ Preparation: Installation of software and
powering the Aperio hardware.
∙ Step 1: making a door installation
∙ Step 2: scanning for communication hubs
∙ Step 3: pairing with locks/sensors
∙ Step 4: configuring locks and communication
hubs: setting security mode, addressing mode,
override credentials etc.
∙ Step 5: Apply saved configuration on several
locks
∙ Step 6: testing after configuration
For some configurations a number of additional
advanced settings can be necessary, such as:
∙ configuration of status and alarm messages,
∙ configuration of the radio communication.
These and a number of other advanced settings
are described in the Aperio Online Programming
Application manual, ref [1].
The quick installation process does NOT
require that the EAC is connected to
the Aperio hardware. Quick installation
can be performed on hardware not yet
mechanically installed.

Preparation before quick installation
∙ Install the Programming Application and USB Radio dongle drivers on your laptop. Refer to ref [2],
Aperio Online Programming Application manual for instructions. The software and encryption key
file is delivered from your local ASSA ABLOY company.
∙ Make sure the communication hub is powered (8-24V) and that batteries are installed in the lock.
Step 1 - Making a new door installation
The first step is to create a new door installation, which will handle all the communication hubs and
Aperio locks/sensors in the access control system.
1) Insert the USB Radio dongle and start the Aperio Programming Application.
2) Select File–New in the Programming Application.
3) Enter a name for the installation and click the button in the Key file field to add the Encryption key.
4) Select the key file and click Select. (The xml-file (key file) containing the encryption keys.)
5) Click Create new.

6) Enter a password of at least 8 characters for the door installation and confirm it. Click OK.
Step 2 - Scanning for Communication hubs
Follow these steps to scan for doors:
7) Select Scan-Quick scan to find communication hubs. (Or open an earlier created installation)
Result: All communication hubs within reach of the USB Radio device of your computer are displayed in the
scan result table.
8) Locate a communication hub by the last four characters of the communication hub MAC address (ex. 01CF)
in the scan result table. The same characters should be on a label on the cover of the communication hub.
Click Rescan if the communication hubs that you want to configure are not shown in the list.
