Brief description of the panel
U-Prox IP400 panel - a device designed to control access to residential and
business premises, including time of passage of and events.
Panel operates with two readers, which are connected to the access control panel
via Wiegand interface.
U-Prox IP400 processes the information received from the reader (readers), and
controls actuator (e.g. a lock) with the built-in four relays.
Panel has eight End-of-line supervised inputs.
The panel can work offline or as part of the network. To add it to Access Control
network Ethernet (wired computer network) are used.
The network settings of the control panel are programmed via a standard USB port
(mini USB B).
U-Prox IP400 has advanced hardware capabilities and intellectual functions to
control two access points (AP) with a single reader and Request to Passage button
(RTE) (two single-sided AP), or one access point with two readers (double-sided
AP). Having a large amount of non-volatile memory U-Prox IP400 is an access
control system that provides for access control in variable establishments in small
offices as well as on large enterprises with number of employees up to 31768 and up
to 1,000 visitors.
Thoroughly elaborated technical and design solutions, the ability to connect two
readers, communication over a computer network, non-volatile memory and the
clock, protecting the communication ports and reader ports from short circuit, over-
voltage and reverse polarity - all allows to use the panel to build a variety of Access
Control Systems (ACS) - from the system for a small office to the entrance of a large
enterprise.
Intended use
Panel U-Prox IP400 is designed for operation in access control systems (ACS) of
diverse scale in small offices as well as on large enterprises. Panels are connected
in ACS via computer network Ethernet.
The panel provides access to one room with the ability to control entry and exit as
well as an alarm system of rooms connected with this access point. In the case of
simultaneous control of entry and exit from the rooms function " Antipassback" is
provided (prohibition of re-runs).

Terms
Identifiers
In access control systems each user has a unique RF ID. Identifiers can take the
form of a plastic card, key FOB etc.
Reader
The information on the identifiers is read with READERS, connected to the ACS
control panel. There are several types of RF IDs and readers for them. It is essential
that reader and control panel use the same interface. U-Prox IP400 use Wiegand
interface.
PIN (Personal Identification Number)
Some readers have built-in keypad. Keypads may be used for PIN entering. It can
be both self-dependent or used as an additional code to user RF ID. When PIN is
programmed as additional code, reader waits for PIN entering after RF ID is read-
out.
Access point (AP)
Access point is a logical concept of the access control system implying control of
passing through a door in one direction. It consists of reader, access control panel
(or its part), door supervision devices (like door contact, RTE button etc.) and door
locking device. For instance, the turnstile with two-way passes has two Access
points –one for entrance and the other one for exit, door of this type is called
double-sided door. A door with a reader on one side has only one Access point –
Entry point, and it is called single-sided door.
Direction of passage
Passageway - is a logical unit of ACS, controlling passage through the access point
in one direction. It includes reader, access control panel (or part of access control
panel), actuator. So, tourniquet with double-sided control has two passageways, and
the door, having single-sided reader - only one passageway. Access point, which
consists of two passageways, is called double-sided, and the point of access, which
consists of one direction of passage - single- sided.
RTE (request to exit)
To exit from the premises with a single-sided door, a button wired to control panel is
used. This button is called RTE (request to exit) button. If someone opens a door
otherwise than pressing RTE button –by re-energizing locking device, opening lock
with a key etc., "Door Forced Open" event arises. RTE button may be used for
remote door opening as well.
Door contact
Properly designed ACS is used to supervise door status (opened or closed), such as
magnetic door sensor, sensor of the turnstile rotor position, inductive sensor of the
road barrier, etc.

http://u-prox.com
7
This ensured that the system prevents situations when several users access the
door with one RF ID or door left open after user’s access and so on. For these
purposes the magnetic sensor of door closing, position sensor of the turnstile rotor
and the position sensor of boom barrier are connected to the input of access control
panel. The input used to connect these sensors, is called the input of sensor of
passage (or Door Contact)
Antipassback
Antipassback function is implemented in access control panels to prevent the
situation when user gives his RF ID to another person after passing into the
premises. If this function is on, control panel tracks an RF ID position –inside or
outside the premises. On any attempt to pass in the same direction twice the panel
denies access and stores “Access Denied, Antipassback” event into the Log.
Antipassback function can be set On only in case of the double-sided door control.
Global antipassback
Prevents user door pass from the areas where he must not appear. The facility
spitted into the closed areas connected with double-sided access points, in which
system supervises the personnel appearance for this purpose. System detects the
global antipassback violation when somebody tries to re-enter such area without exit
or tries to enter somewhere from the area he have not enter. System generates
message “GLOBAL ANTIPASSBACK: Access Denied” in case of global
antipassback violation.
Door time
If door sensor is open, corresponding access point goes into “Alarm” mode (refer to
“Alarm» mode below). Alarm is not invoked, if contact is opened during Door Time
interval. This interval starts when access is granted and lasts for the programmed
time or terminates on opening and subsequent closing of door contact.
Code matching attempt
Control panels can activate alarm on attempt of a code (or RF ID) matching. Code
matching is considered when invalid code (or RF ID) is entered several times
successively. Valid code entering clears the counter. This function switching On and
number of code entrances are subjects of programming.
Schedules
Date and time of valid access are indicated when setting user access rights.
Depending on modification, control panel stores up to 250 time zones. 250 week
schedules can be combined from these time zones. Moreover, control panel can
store up to 250 holidays, which happen once a year.
Time zones
Time zones are a part of schedule. This is a way to organize a range of days and
times and associate it with access levels.

http://u-prox.com
8
Time zones are utilized by the application to validate, authorize, or perform various
functions based on schedules.
Downloading
Control panel is to be downloaded after all parameters are set –modes of inputs,
outputs, access rights and others. During downloading parameters are rewritten into
access control panel.

Panel operation
The panels supplied unloaded with factory settings below in document. In this state,
the indicators of readers and the yellow LED on the panel flashes once per second.
To make the panel work in access control system (ACS) you have to upload a
network setting using the "Configurator" software and USB port.
If no inputs are triggered panel goes to mode “Normal” after uploading the
configuration. Panel can supervise two independent access directions. There are
four different modes of access point: "Normal", "Alarm", "Blocking" and "Free pass".
Mode "Free pass" has the highest priority, as this mode is activated in the event of a
fire, followed by modes of "Blocking", "Alarm" and "Normal." in decreasing order of
priority.
"Normal" mode
This is the main mode of panel. In this mode the panel grants or denies access to
RF ID owners. In “Normal" mode the readers blink red.
Passing after entering RF ID
To pass through user enters contactless RF ID to the reader. If RF ID is registered
and the passage is granted, access point opens (the panel activates the actuator).
The reader LED becomes green.
Passing after entering RF ID and PIN code
On entering enrolled RF ID, panel tests whether PIN code is required, and, if
required, waits for entering PIN code. After entering the correct PIN code, AP opens
(the actuator is activated).
The reader LED becomes green.
Passing upon Request to Exit (remote opening of doors)
Exit from premises with single-sided door or passing of users is granted upon
pressing Request to Exit (RTE). Pressing and releasing of RTE AP opens the door
(actuator is activated). The reader LED becomes green.
Access denial upon entering RF ID
Access may be denied to RF ID owner due to the following reasons (the reader LED
is red)::

http://u-prox.com
13
Cards (RF IDs) and schedules are not loaded in the panel (light off)
access control panel is in unloaded state
card is not enrolled in the panel
card term expired (for 1 second buzzer is on and LED is red )
RF ID passed out of schedule (for 1 second buzzer is on and LED is red)
attempt to re-pass when "Antipassback" is on (for 1 second buzzer is on
and LED is red)
entered RF ID is marked as lost or blocked (for 1 second buzzer is on and
LED is red)
the panel is in "Alarm" mode (LED is constantly on and red)
the panel is in "Blocked" mode (LED flashes red and yellow)
Pass count is exhausted for the temporary card (visitor).
“Alarm” Mode
In "Alarm" mode the reader indicator is constantly red. Depending on the
programmed functions Access point goes into mode "Alarm" in case of
unauthorized passage (Door Forced Open), opening of panel cover, entering RF ID
recorded as lost, if AP is open too long (open time AP is exceeded), and in case of
RF ID matching attempt.
In "Alarm” mode panel activates outputs, programmed as ALARM and SIREN.
"Alarm" output remains activated till “Alarm" mode is turned off. For output "SIREN",
siren time is programmable.
If Access point is in “Alarm mode", passage is prohibited. Access point may be
opened by pressing RTE.
To exit from the "Alarm" mode pass the ID with "Disalarm" attribute or by command
from the computer.
"Free Pass” Mode
There are circumstances when you need to open access points for Free pass of
people, such as in the case of fire, earthquake or in other emergency. For this case,
the panel has "Free Pass" mode.
In "Free Pass” Mode LED of reader flashes green and yellow.
The access point goes into "Free Pass" Mode after the command of operator from
the computer or after the loop violation (break or shortage) programmed as FREE
PASS. The access point is in "Free Pass" Mode for as long as the loop FREE PASS
is broken or until the command from the computer comes (while the loop is broken,
command from the computer will not work).
The panel allows to configure the function of loop "Free Pass" for access points A, B,

http://u-prox.com
14
or for both access points (A + B).
As long as access point is in "Free Pass" mode, the lock is held in open position, the
panel stores a log event "Access granted" on presentation of RF ID code regardless
of the antipassback state of, schedules, etc. It is used to control the presence of
personnel on the premises in case of an emergency.
To ensure "Free Pass" mode when using locking devices with mechanical re-
platoon you must control access point state. Locking devices with mechanical re-
platoon can be unlocked with current pulse and remain unlocked until access point is
not opened. While closing door, locking device goes into a closed state. Panel in
"Free Pass" mode tests the door contact. Each closing of door again gives unlocking
signal to the door.
“Blocking" mode
If it is necessary to deny access to AP to all users of the system, the panel switches
into “Blocking" mode. If AP is in “Blocking" mode, the passage is granted only to
owners of RF IDs with the sign "Security Service". AP cannot be opened by pressing
RTE.
In Mode "Blocking" LED is alternately flash red and yellow
Access point goes into “Blocking" mode after the operator command from the
computer or after loop violation designated as BLOCKING. Access point is in
“Blocking" mode for as long as the loop is violated or until the command from the
computer (while the loop is broken, command from the computer will not work).
Panel allows to configure loop function “Blocking" for access point A, B, or for both
access points (A + B).
RF ID properties (cards)
Code (RF ID card code)
Each card has a unique code which is set at the time of its manufacture. It consists
of 10 hexadecimal digits.
PIN-code
Additional code is assigned to the card. It consists of no more than six decimal digits.
It can be used together with readers that have a built-in keyboard.
Enter PIN code with the reader's keypad and press '#' key. Always enter PIN code
AFTER the card pass. If PIN-code is correct, panel unlocks access point and grants
access. Otherwise, panel generates a warning signal, and records "Invalid PIN-
code" event into the log. Door remains closed.
Validity (of Card)
Card Validity expiration date
Alarm Cancel
Passing the card to door reader, when the door is in "Alarm" state, panel registers
event "Alarm cancelled" and puts the door to Normal mode. If the card that has no
right to cancel the “Alarm” is passed, the door will remain in the same state. “Access
denied. Alarm Status" event recorded into the log.
Security Service
Security Service mark gives the right of access to a blocked door.

http://u-prox.com
15
When the ordinary card is passed if door is in "Blocking” Mode, "Access denied.
Blocked state” event recoded. Card with attribute “Security Service" pass. If the card
is valid and has access right at the moment, the panel gives access and event
“Access granted. Blocked state» is registered.
VIP Access right to pass always everywhere, except through blocked door.
VIP card may be assigned any schedule, Antipassback and validity period is NOT
applied to it. The card may have PIN code
If the door is in “Blocked state", access is denied for RF ID with this attribute
checked.
Antipassback is off
Access right without considering Antipassback Mode.
Access is granted regardless of the direction of the previous access, but due to the
schedule and other attributes designated to the Card.
Variants of Use and modes of output
All panel outputs can be programmed in any order for several functions: Blocking,
Siren, Alarm, Programmable output. In addition, there is programmable operation
mode for each output: start-stop (output remains active until the corresponding
command is present, for example, during the time until the panel is in "Alarm" Mode),
impulse (the output is activated for the programmed time), trigger mode (on the first
event the output is activated, on the following is off, etc.), continuous.
The communicator
U-Prox IP400 panel operates automatically - after downloading data from the server,
it processes the card passed according to its access rights, grants or denies access
and sends event rehire to the ACS server.
Panel communicator operates in the notification mode. If there is event (passage,
violation of input) event report message is send ACS server.
U-Prox IP400 panel can be connected to a computer network via wired connection
(Ethernet). This ensures work within local network (see Figure 3) or via the Internet
(see Fig. 4), that allows to build distributed access control systems of any size.

Server addresses automatic configuration for control panel
The use of the existing computer network infrastructure, standard network protocols
(DHCP for instance) allowed to provide the “plug-and-play” principle. The mode of
the automatic server address configuration in the panels eases the access system
deployment significantly.
Fig. 5. System deployment
The algorithms for operation on each step described below
1. Panel checks for DHCP mode ON (panel address 0.0.0.0) or static IP
2. If DHCP mode is ON, the dynamic IP address obtain routine will start
3. The panel automatic configuration mode starts if the access control system
IP address (IP or DNS name) is not set:
a. Panel sends data packages announcing access control system
server about itself as a new device in the local network
Despite it is broadcast announcement, it is limited with single
range local network and active network equipment. That’s why
the IP addresses of the access control system server are to be
set manually for networks with sophisticated topology.
b. The system will warn operator after the receiving of the data
package from the new panel. Operator must add panel to the
system database (DB).
c. After the panel added to the DB it receives the answer from the
access control system server. The address of the access control
system server recorded into the control panel and it stops to
broadcast.
d. Operator has to upload panel after its adjustment recorded into
the DB. Panel becomes associated to the certain access control
system server, eliminating panel control capture with another
system.

http://u-prox.com
18
Return panel to the factory settings to eliminate the panel
association to the system
e. In the case of access control system server IP address change
panel will initiate the automatic configuration routine, but the data
exchange will be possible with previously connected system only.
Global antipassback
U-Prox IP400 control panel can operate in a system of global antipassback. The
main controller U-Prox IC A tracks the location of a person on the fact of its passage
through the access point. U-Prox IC A receives data about the passages from
control panels NDC F18 IP, U-Prox IP100, U-Prox IP300, U-Prox IP400.
The basis of the global antipassback is the zoned antipassback. The facility is
divided into rooms - zones of access or areas. With this division the entrance to
another area is exit from the previous one, and the passage in the area is possible
through various access points.
Antipassback control panel receives data from the access control panels and tracks
the movement of personnel from area to area . Also can be tracked the location of
the person who has multiple IDs (See Figure 6).
Fig. 6. Allocation of access areas
Initially an employee has the location "unspecified". After the first presentation ID to
a reader's location
The location "unspecified" is assigned when registering a new employee, or after the
system operator command "location reset" of person is fixed by U-Prox IC A.

http://u-prox.com
19
With the use of global antipassback it is possible to suppress passback, using
duplicate card for infiltration (sudden appearance inside), transferring the ID to
another person, etc (See Figure 7).
Fig. 7. Tracking the violations
In case of lost communication with the access control panels, forced entry, free
pass, etc. U-Prox IC A merges access areas together , considering that the
personnel may be both there and there.
After restoring the normal state of access point or communication with the control
panels, areas will be unmerged (See Figure 8).
Fig. 8. Merging access zones

http://u-prox.com
20
U-Prox IP100, U-Prox IP300, U-Prox IP400, NDC F18 IP access control dialog
boxes can be configured to two variants of behavior in case communication lost with
U-Prox IC A:
Not just anyone has permission to pass;
Pass all, according to the rules of the local antipassback
The requirements for U-Prox IC A adjusting:
The control panel must have a static address (IP or DNS)
The requirements for U-Prox IP100, U-Prox IP300, U-Prox IP400, NDC F18 IP adjusting:
Only control panels with double-sided doors (entrance and way out on
presentation of ID) can be involved in global antipassback.
In configuring server address # 1 has to be the ACS server address.
In configuring server address #2 has to be the address of the U-Prox IC A
In the U-Prox IP software must be enabled antipassback mode "General"
for the door
For each access control dialog box must be specified master antipassback
control panel and reaction to the deprivation of communication with him.
U-Prox IP100, U-Prox IP300, U-Prox IP400, NDC F18 IP control panels deliver
events to two destinations at the same time. First one is ACS server's address, to
display and store events in a database program. The second one is address of U-
Prox IC A. The Antippassback control panel sends an answer with command to denу
or grant access.
How to work with the device
Before installation do initial setup of access control panel (that specifies settings of
network parameters) with utility "Configurator" via USB Port. Overall dimensions are
shown in Fig. 9
Fig. 9. Overall dimensions
After ID presentation the delay in granting or denial of access may be up to 1
minutes, depending on the topology and bandwidth of the computer net
