AccessZone ® - GC400 Series – GC401-GC404 User Manual

2 Intro uction

The AccessZone GC400 series GC401-GC404 are Wiegand luetooth ID Readers. They are well

suited for use in private homes, shops and companies. Since they have Wiegand output they can

be used with all systems with Wiegand input.

They are unique wireless luetooth Readers with the latest luetooth technology – a wireless

technology that operates in the license free ISM band at 2.4 GHz.

The reader sends the luetooth ID on the Wiegand bus for verification in a central access control

system. No validation is done in the system. However, it is possible to add some unique luetooth

IDs with an optional 4 digit PIN code for increased security. I.e. the luetooth ID will first be sent to

the central access controller for final access verification after the unique PIN code has been

entered by the user.

The used mobile phones or other luetooth devices must be set to “visible” to allow them to be

discovered by the system.

The GC400 series eliminates the need for mechanical readers and keyboards outside the secured

area. This removes the risk for property damage and breakdown due to harsh environmental

conditions and heavy use.

Please refer to the GC400 Firmware Release Note for the latest changes.

3 Security Precautions

Several security precautions have been implemented in the system to make it safe to use.

The system will only accept system configuration commands in a special configuration mode (refer

to section 7.2 How to enter Configuration Mode).

All system configuration commands are entered by temporarily changing the mobile phones

friendly name

and must be followed by a unique 8 digit master PIN code. The master PIN code

should only be known to a limited number of people (system administrators).

The 8 digit master PIN code should be changed and is unique for each GC401-GC404 system. It can

be entered from any luetooth enabled mobile phone. Please change the master PIN code before

continuing.

Two privileged users (administrators) can add and delete users at any time. Refer to section 7.4

How to Add or Delete Users – Normal Operation.

Caution

The Bluetooth friendly name feature is used for commands and can be read from another

Bluetooth device from the distance (typically up to 10 meters).

Therefore it is highly recommended to immediately change the Bluetooth friendly name again or

make the mobile phone invisibly to avoid that unauthorized people read the commands

containing vital user information.

Caution

A virtual “any” user is by default (factory) added at storage position 01 (a

privileged user) to allow an easy – first time - configuration of users without going

through the normal system configuration mode. PIN code 1234 is used

(Command:."01,FFFFFFFFFFFF,1234")

Bluetooth ID reader with unique users with PIN code:

It is highly recommended to overwrite this with a specific user with a unique PIN

code and move the “any” default user to the last location used. In example, move

“any” user to the last storage position 7 GC401):

Execute command:."07,FFFFFFFFFFFF,0000"

The privileged users devices) added on position 01 or 02 can be used to add other

users and the “any” user on position 07 will allow the system to send all other

Bluetooth IDs on the Wiegand bus.

Simple Bluetooth ID reader:

Add the “any” user without PIN code on storage position 01 if PIN code and no

privileged users 01 and 02) are not required. The Bluetooth reader will now send all

the detected Bluetooth IDs on the Wiegand bus:

Execute command:."01,FFFFFFFFFFFF,0000"

Total length = 14 igits

Ex: To select power range 2 (<10 m), and approximately 0,5

m with input 1 and 2 active at low level (GND) and output 1

and 2 with high level enter: "2,6,50,0,0,1,1"

There is a close relation between parameters <power

range>, <TX power level> and <Detection range>. The

system detection range depends on selected <power

range>, <TX power level>.

Shortest detection range is with <power range>=1, <TX

power level>=1 and <Detection range>0

Longest detection range is with <power range>=3<TX

power level>=8 and <Detection range>99.

System must be power cycle for changes to take effect.

The System settings can be reset to factory value. Please

see section 13 Default Factory System Settings

Please see section 12 Access Detection Range for some typical values for <power range>, <TX

power level> and <Detection range> and how to adjust detection range.

System administrator should maintain a system log with System Settings 2 for Normal Operation

Mode. Please see 16 Appendix C – System Configuration Log Template

9 Wiegan Types

The GC400 series supports 10 different Wiegand frame formats. The Wiegand access controller

must support at least one of the supported Wiegand formats.

GC400 uses the Wiegand signalling and different frame data formats:

The data is send on the Wiegand bus. I.e. a '0' is send on line Data0 and a '1' is send on line Data1.

The signals are held at logical high levels until the data is sent. GC400 places the data as

asynchronous low-going pulses on the Data0 or Data1 lines to transmit the data to the access

control system.

The Wiegand specification requires a pulse width time between 20 μs and 100 μs and a pulse

interval time between 200 μs and 20ms. GC400 uses a pulse width of 50 μs and a pulse interval

time of 2 ms.

A 8 bit facility code and luetooth ID lengths between 16-48 bit are used depending on the

selected Wiegand type.

Frame format:

1 bit

MSB even parity

8 bit

Facility co e

16-48 bit

of Bluetooth ID

1 bit

LSB o parity

Caution!

Mathematically it only gives a total of 256 ifferent (0 to 255) facility co es. The shortest

Wiegan format (Wiegan 26) only uses the lowest 16 bit of the Bluetooth ID number which

gives a total of 65.536 (0 to 65.536) in ivi ual ID's. Due to the mathematical limitations of the

Wiegan 26 format uplicates may occur. However, if Wiegan 58 is use instea all 48 bit of

the unique Bluetooth ID number is sen

For a general introduction to Wiegand refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiegand_protocol

9.1 Wiegan 26

“01” = Wiegand 26 frame

This is the classic (de facto) Wiegand 26 frame format.

Frame: The last 2 bytes (LS ) of the 6 byte luetooth ID is sent together with the facility code. A

even MS parity bit and a odd LS parity makes a total of 26 bits (1+8+16+1)

In example:

Read luetooth ID: “0022 4 62508” => luetooth ID “2508” is send
