General Description
The Entryphone PinNet 4 is an access control system (using 125Khz RFID technology) that will control
up to four doors.
Its choice of keypad, GSM modem and IP control makes it ideal for properties where local
administration is difficult to manage. The system incorporates an on-board web interface for setting up
the device, users and viewing activity logs. User administration can also be via a GSM modem using
SMS text messages allowing remote management via our web site or phone service.
Key fobs can also be added, modified or removed through the programmer reader and keypad, using
the Entryphone® activation code system.
The PinNet also has an optional “operate by phone” feature where one lock output can be triggered
when the unit is called from an authorised telephone.
Features
•Built-in web site server.
•Key fob administration via SMS text messaging
•1000 entry activity log
•One-day password system for maintenance access
•1000 users
•8 time profiles
•Automatic clock adjustment for day-light saving
•“Door release by phone” feature (option)
•No master key fob required
•Tenants can add their own keys using an encrypted code for the designated unit
•Individually numbered units for issuing of one-day password
Operation
Key fobs
The system operates when an electronic key is presented to a reader; the key’s unique code is read
by the system. Either:
1. It will determine that the key has permission to release the door at that time and it will release
the door for a programmed number of seconds.
Alternatively:
2. If it does not recognize the key’s code it will not release the door and the system will log that
an invalid key has been presented.
3. If it does recognize the key but does not have permission, e.g. time profile, it will not release
the door and will log the event and the reason for rejecting the request.
Operation by phone
Where it is preferred not to issue a key fob the unit will accept a telephone number in place of a fob
code number. When the unit is called from an authorised number the first lock relay will operate.

Capacity
The system can be connected to up to four readers and four door releases. It can supply 12V AC or
DC in either fail-safe (power to lock) or fail-secure (power to unlock) for conventional releases.
Up to 1000 keys can be stored in the system’s memory and it has a 1000 entry transaction log.
Programming
Programming and administration of the system is carried out in a number of ways:
1. (KP) Keypad Control where activation codes are provided through Entryphone’s web or
telephone service.
2. (SMS) GSM modem control where fobs are added, modified or deleted using SMS text
messaging through Entryphone’s web or telephone service.
Service controlled off-line programming is for customers that require a managed system but
do not want to administer it or have the expense of an internet connection. The initial set-up is
carried out by Entryphone and further adding or deleting of keys is achieved by entering an
activation code on the unit’s keypad or via SMS text message.
3. (PC) Direct programming using a PC or through a LAN
The PinNet has an Ethernet connection and an integrated web server so the unit can be
controlled directly using a web browser
Reader operation and beeps
The PinNet reader will initially beep as the key is presented regardless of the beeps that follows it.
This is to indicate to the person presenting the key that the PinNet understands that a key has been
presented.
Key ok Continuous tone for the length of the release time.
Key on system but not valid 4 long beeps
Key not recognised by system 6 short beeps
Key not an EM type RFID key No beeps

Connection Diagrams
Notes
.
The diagram shows examples of the PinNet lock release switching outputs connected to the three
most common door release types:
1. Fail secure release. Power is applied to the device to release the lock.
2. Fail unlock release. The device is continuously powered to keep it locked.
3. Maglock. The device is continuously powered to keep it locked.
With maglocks there is no mechanical means to open the door (unlike door releases that
operate in conjunction with standard night latch locks which can be operated using the handle
on the inside and a key from the outside) and therefore a request-to-exit (RTE) must be
provided for egress and an emergency break-glass unit is also required for fire regulation
compliance.
The diagram shows each device powered by its own power supply (PSU). If required the locks can be
powered through the unit via the “LOCKS” terminals (please note there are jumper links on the board
so individual lock outputs can be isolated).
