2 Introduction

The AccessZone GC500 series GC501-GC504 are stand-alone access control s stems. The are well

suited for use in private homes, shops and minor companies.

The are unique wireless access control s stems built on Bluetooth wireless technolog – a

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

The s stems onl allow access to users who can be identified b their unique Ke ID and optional a

4 digit PIN code for increased securit . The used mobile phones or other Bluetooth devices must

be set to “visible” to allow them to be discovered b the s stem.

The GC500 series eliminates the need for mechanical readers and ke boards outside the secured

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

conditions and heav use.

Please refer to the GC500 Firmware Release Note for the latest changes.

The latest firmware versions introduces:

New improved validation of Bluetooth module BD address

The BD address is read back and compared against factor value in production data

Improved end-user notification when waiting for PIN code

The green LED in the middle starts flashing when a valid user has been detected and it is

waiting for user to enter the PIN code

Added support for a new “Re-trig Gate Open” feature

This feature can be enabled/diabled b a s stem command and it will re-trig the opening

time as long as the same valid user is detected. I.e. the door/gate will not be closed

3 Security Precautions

Several securit precautions have been implemented in the s stem to make it safe to use.

The s stem will onl accept s stem configuration commands in a special configuration mode (refer

to section 7.2 How to enter Configuration Mode).

All s stem configuration commands are entered b temporaril changing the mobile phones

friendl name

and must be followed b a unique 8 digit Master PIN code when prompt. The

Master PIN code should onl be known to a limited number of people (s stem administrators).

The 8 digit Master PIN code should be changed and is unique for each GC501-GC504 s stem. It can

be entered from an Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. Please change this PIN code before

continuing

Two privileged users (administrators) can add and delete users at an 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.

7 How to Configure the System

This section describes how to enter s stem commands and how to enable the s stem for

configuration. Section 8 S stem Commands describes the different commands in details.

7 1 Commands via Mobile

S stem configuration (adding/deleting users and changing s stem settings) can be done from an

Bluetooth enabled mobile phone as long as the user knows the 8 digit Master PIN code.

Note!

It is not necessar to install an software on the mobile phone or use an PC tool.

The mobile phone must support at least 20 characters as “Friendl Name” (also called "Phone

Name”). This is the name revealed for other Bluetooth devices.

A s stem command (e.g. "01,0022b4b62918,1234") is entered b temporaril changing the

mobiles Bluetooth “Friendl Name”. Refer to section 8 S stem Commands.

Please refer to the User Manual for a specific mobile phone for how to change the Bluetooth

friendl name.

Caution

The Bluetooth specification states a maximum length of 248 characters as Friendly Name.

However, most mobile phones have limited the space allowed for Friendly Name. A minimum of

20 characters must be supported by the used mobile phone.

All commands must be followed b the 8 digit Master PIN code for safe use. The s stem gives 3

short beeps to indicate that a valid command has been found and the Master PIN code is required.

The user will automaticall be prompted when to enter the Master PIN code.

Note!

This is not the normal 4 digit user access PIN code.

Please note when entering the commands:

All command parameters (enclosed by <>) must be separated by a comma ','

No spaces between values are allowed

Have the exact length as specified I e no additional characters in the end

A ‘-‘ indicates an integer range 1,2,3…
