Chapter 1: Introduction
1.0 Maple Introduction
Maple’s main focus is on small companies who do not have IT support and find it difficult to
maintain Eastwin or WinPro.
Maple is also aimed at small installers who can only handle stand-alone access control
installations and cannot handle PC software. They want plug-and-play systems like CCTV. This
document is prepared for such dealers who are not familiar with ELID equipment and can only
handle stand-alone access control.
The user may use a mobile application, named “eMirage” Apps or through a web browser to
setup and control the system.
This manual will guide you how to install, configure and operate Maple System.
Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
2.0 Hardware Configuration
Installation will consist of Access Control System (maximum 16 doors) and Maple as a control
board.
Figure: Basic Configuration of Maple

Maple User Manual

Figure: Configuration of Maple
2.1 Site Installation
Site installation is in 4 stages:-
Stage 1: Access Control Installation
The installer has to install access control system and make them work.
Although some of controllers can work in RS485, multi-drop or LAN mode, it is recommended
that you stick to multi-drop mode .
The Maple Box is set up by the Service Centre, hence the installer no need to care about it.
The installer should not proceed to stage 2 until stage 1 is fully completed and operating
standalone properly.
Stage 2: Maple Installation
The installer has to install the Maple and make the Maple system work.
Although Maple can work by RS485, Multi-drop or LAN, we recommend that you use 4-wire
multi-drop, because it is simple, reliable and robust.

Maple User Manual

Maple Connection:
•Locate the Maple unit near to the Internet access router (eg Unifi router)
•Use the LAN cable provided to connect between Maple and Internet router
•Plug in the power adapter which connects 15 V supply to Maple
•Connect the multi-drop cable between Maple and the nearest controller.
Powering up Maple:
There are 4 status LED on the Maple control board.
The “internet Link” LED shows the status of Internet connection.
•Quick blink means Maple is trying to connect to internet
•Slow blink means that Maple is connected to internet, but no one is logged in.
•Steady on means a client is logged on to Maple
The “controller link” LED shows the status of Controller connection to Maples
•Each time Maple successfully receives a packet from a controller, it will blink once.
Therefore, a regular blink means that all controllers are replying.
The 2 CPU status LED are for factory use.
Figure: Maple Status ED
Turn on Maple power supply, and observe the controller link LED status. It should blink steadily
indicating it is communicating with each controller.
Observe the Internet Link status LED, it should blink rapidly, as it tries to connect to Internet.
Once connection is successful, it should blink steadily.

Stage 3: System Setup
There are 2 options in system set-up.
•The first option is for those who are unfamiliar with Maple. In this case you need to fill
in the customer requirement form and request Elid Central Services to setup Maple for
you.
•The second option is for those who are familiar with Maple. In this case, you handle
setup yourself with configure the system by Maple Core and only request Elid Central
Services to save the programmed data. Maple Core is explained in Chapter 3: Maple
Core.
Option 1 – setup by Elid Central Services
You should get the help of your customer to fill in the form as follows:-
•First section is on customer information:- His name, address, phone number etc
•Second section is on system configuration:- Detailed information of equipment
installed, such as Access controller model & serial number, reader model & serial
number, Maple model & serial number, Address setting of each controller,
Communication mode used etc.
•Third section is on Access Control Time zone settings:- Time zone requirements,
Card/pin requirement, Auto lock release requirement, User category etc. This may
seem a bit complicated, but in most cases, for small companies, you can just choose
one of the templates 9-to-5 offices, -to-11 factory, etc and make slight modifications.
•Fourth section is on User database:- name, card number and category of each user
•Fifth section is on Report generations:- whether customer requires Elid Central Services
to provide reports. If yes, what type of reports?
•Sixth section is on Smart phones that are to be linked to this Maple:- Enter phone
number
When you have completed the above information, call Elid Central Services. The operator will
check and download relevant information to Maple.
After he has downloaded the settings, check that the system operates properly:-
•User cards are working properly
•Time zone is operating - It is a bit difficult to check time zone setting, unless there are
cards that can enter a particular door at that particular time, and there are cards that
cannot. In any case, it is quite easy for Elid Central Services to make changes if there
are mistakes.
•This completes system setup
Option 2 – setup by installer
Installer has to configure the system by Maple Core. Maple Core is explained in Chapter 3:
Maple Core.

Stage 4:
The final step is to install Maple App into the Smart Phones of the customer and train the
customer to use Maple app. Installer has to contact Service Centre to request for the
Registration Code for Maple app. This Registration Code is valid for 24 Hours.
Installer should also train the customer on how to request help from Elid Central Services.
For customers who have IT capabilities, you can also train them on Maple View, which allows
them to manage card database and print reports themselves.

3.3.1.6 Holi ay
Setting the Holiday would enable the controller to recognize the day as a holiday and the
holiday time zone will be used for granting access to the door. This is important because if a
holiday falls on a weekday you may want to bar users from entering the premises. Access
control for holidays needs to be handled differently from the access control for ordinary
working days. Not all cardholders having the same access control for ordinary working days
have the same access rights for holidays.
A maximum of 20 days in a year can be defined as holidays, and each date is in the pattern of
day/month/year. The description of each holiday can be edited but not the date.
