Brivo ACS-SDC-E Installation Manual
Pre-Installation Procedures
Before you begin installing the Brivo control panel, perform the following tasks to ensure a safe, speedy, and suc-
cessful installation.
Understand the function of the Brivo ACS-SDC-E control panel
The ACS-SDC-E is a one door control panel with a single access point. This control panel is considered a
standalone system with internet connectivity to Brivo Access. The control board has one RS485 connection
for one (or optionally two) OSDP reader connections. A second reader is supported for single door in/out
antipassback congurations.
The Brivo ACS-SDC-E uses an on-board Ethernet PoE interface to communicate via any TCP/IP networking
technology that can be connected through a hub, router or switch, including satellite communications. It is
an IP-enabled Access Control System that interacts with the Brivo cloud server via the Brivo Access
application.
Understand Brivo ACS-SDC-E product compatibility
The ACS-SDC-E control panel allows for the attachment of one primary and one additional OSDP reader
directly to the ACS-SDC-E control panel for the purposes of in/out scenarios (antipassback). As such, the
ACS-SDC-E is compatible with a large number of standard OSDP reader models. Brivo products are designed
to accommodate the latest updates in OSDP using RS485 reader formats. The ACS-SDC-E control board
is compatible with OSDP readers using RS485.
A current list of compatible readers and keypads is maintained on Brivo’s website at www.brivo.com. If you
have a specic model of reader or keypad that is not listed on the Brivo website, please contact Technical
Support at 1-866-BRIVO-4-U to determine compatibility.
Verify that the client site is ready to support the installation
1. Check with the IT department to ensure that the ACS-SDC-E to be installed is compatible with the
company’s local area network (LAN).
a) The ACS-SDC-E is equipped with a standard RJ45 socket that accepts a CAT5 cable with an
RJ45 plug on any 10/100 Ethernet network. Physically connecting the panel is the same as
plugging any computer or other device into the LAN.
b) Refer to connection instructions or in the Panel Networking Guide for instructions on
connecting to the LAN. The Panel Networking Guide also contains a complete list of
requirements regarding TCP/IP conguration parameters and information about security
considerations.
2. Download the Brivo ACS-SDC-E Quick Start Guide from the Brivo website and provide it to the
Primary Administrator. This document provides instructions for registering and conguring the
control panel in the application.
3. Make sure the account has been created and the control panel is registered through Brivo. If the
control panel has not been registered by the dealer, the installer may either contact Brivo Technical
Support for assistance or simply register the panel directly.
4. Verify that the Primary Administrator and any other employee who will be accessing the system
have Internet access on a computer equipped with a supported Web browser.
