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.
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. In case of elevator control panel, access point is the floor selection
button or the set of buttons, enabling person’s access to the desired floors according
to his access rights.
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.
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
Panels supplied unloaded with factory settings below in document. In this state, the
bi-color LED on the panel flashes red twice 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 or use the automatic adjustment mode.
Panel goes to the “Normal” mode after uploading the configuration.
To return to the factory settings use the command from the U-Prox software or with
the routine described in Service Maintenance section.

http://u-prox.com

"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.
Using elevator buttons after passing RF ID
To use elevator buttons user enters contactless RF ID to the reader. If RF ID is
registered and the passage granted, panel activates the relay modules’ outputs
according to the user access rights and floor selection buttons’ loops switched on.
The reader LED becomes green. User may select floor with button during adjusted time.
Using elevator buttons after passing RF ID and PIN entering
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, panel
activates the relay modules’ outputs according to the user access rights and floor
selection buttons’ loops switched on. The reader LED becomes green. User may
select floor with button during adjusted time.
Access denial upon entering RF ID
Access may be denied to RF ID owner due to the following reasons (the reader LED
is red):
Cards (RF IDs) and schedules are not loaded in the panel
access control panel is in unloaded state
card is not enrolled in the panel
card term expired
RF ID passed out of schedule
entered RF ID is marked as lost or blocked
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" operation mode the reader indicator is constantly red. Depending on the
programmed functions panel goes into mode "Alarm" in case of opening of panel
cover, entering RF ID recorded as lost and in case of RF ID matching attempt.
If panel is in “Alarm mode", use of floor selection buttons prohibited. One may
activate floor selection button with U-Prox RM relay module input.
To exit from the "Alarm" mode pass the ID with "Disalarm" attribute or by command
from the computer.

http://u-prox.com
10
"Free Pass” Mode
There are circumstances when you need to open some of access points for free
pass of people. For this case, the panel has "Free Pass" mode.
The access point goes into "Free Pass" Mode after the command of operator from
the computer. The panel is in "Free Pass" mode until the command from the
computer comes
As long as access point is in "Free Pass" mode, all floor buttons remained
connected and the panel stores a log event "Access granted" on presentation of RF
ID code regardless of the schedules, etc.
“Blocking" mode
If it is necessary to deny access to all or some floors for users of the system, the
panel switches into “Blocking" mode. If panel in “Blocking" mode, the passage is
granted only to owners of RF IDs with the sign "Security Service". One cannot
unblock floor buttons with panel inputs.
Panel goes into “Blocking" mode after the operator command from the computer.
Panel is in “Blocking" mode until the command from the computer.
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. Event
“Access denied. Alarm Status" recorded into the log.
In "Free Pass” Mode LED of reader flashes green and yellow.
In Mode "Blocking" LED is alternately flash red and yellow

http://u-prox.com
11
Security Service
Security Service mark gives the right of access to a blocked door.
On the ordinary card pass and door is in "Blocking” mode, “Access denied. Blocked
state” event recoded and access denied. On card with attribute “Security Service"
pass, the panel grants access and event “Access granted. Blocked state” registered.
VIP Access right to pass always everywhere, except through blocked door.
VIP card may have any schedule, Antipassback and validity period but they NOT
applied to it. The card may have PIN code. If the door is in “Blocked state", access is
denied for RF ID with VIP attribute checked.
Communicator operation
U-Prox IC E panel operates automatically. After the download from the access
control system server the data from the readers, U-Prox RM modules and U-Prox
WRS485 convertors processed and access event messages are sent to the access
control system server.
Panel Communicator operates in notification mode that means that data
transmission to the access control system server is initiated on the access event.
U-Prox IC E panel connected to the computer network with wired Ethernet.
Both local enterprise computer network operation (see Fig.3) and Internet network
(see Fig.3) operation via repeaters provided. This allows the distributed systems of
any scale construction.
Figure 3. Network connection example
Algorithm of working in LAN
1. If DHCP - obtaining IP address with the start of the access control panel.
It is highly recommended to use VPN technology for computer network
connecting central office with remote sites for additional security.
It is highly recommended to use routers with two different technology Internet
access channels for redundancy.

http://u-prox.com

2. Update of IP status of address (announcement and extension of reserved
IP, if DHCP).
3. Determine accessibility of ACS server (IP or DNS name).
4. Periodic sending of test signals.
5. If there is, sending of events. Waiting for server commands.
Algorithm of operation on the Internet (local wire net)
1. If DHCP - obtaining of IP address within local network affiliate at panel
launch.
2. Update of status of IP addresses (announcement and extension of
reserved IP, if DHCP).
3. Determine possibility of access to the Internet (accessibility of given IP
address of router).
4. Determine accessibility of ACS server (IP or DNS name).
5. Periodic sending of test signals.
6. If there is, send the events. Waiting for server commands.
7. Failure - transition to the second specified IP address of router.
System deployment
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.
Figure 4. System deployment
The algorithms for operation on each step described below
Server addresses automatic configuration for U-Prox IC E
1. Panel checks for DHCP mode ON (panel address 0.0.0.0) or static IP

http://u-prox.com
13
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.
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.
Interaction with elevator equipment
U-Prox WRS485 interface convertor connected to the U-Prox IC E control panel to
provide the noise-resistant and long-range RS-485 interface to the reader, placed in
elevator cabin.
To control the loops of the floor selection buttons up to four U-Prox RM relay
modules connected to the U-Prox IC E control panel. The U-Prox RM relay terminals
connected in series with buttons’ terminals. Connect relay terminals in way that
provides the floor selection buttons operation in case of U-Prox RM power failure.
Z1…Z8 zone loops used for floor selection buttons state supervision and for buttons
remote connection control. On pressing floor selection button U-Prox IC E
generates message "Access granted to the floor."

http://u-prox.com
14
Remotely allowing access to the floor
The inputs Z1-Z8 can be connected to a remote console placed on a guard post. On
pressing floor selection button U-Prox IC E generates message "Access granted to
the floor remotely"
Floor selection buttons unblock in an emergency
U-Prox RM relay modules have EMRG inputs. In normal state short the loop,
connected to this input terminals, to the ground (GND terminal). On input loop break,
module depowers all relays and all floor selection buttons become available.
Figure 5. Connection schema
Zone loops supervised with 2.2 kOhm end-of-line resistors and have three states:
Normal, Opened and Shorted.
When all zone loops are in Normal state module waits for relay activation command.
When one of zones opened, all relays, activated (de-energized) with previous
command, de-activated.

http://u-prox.com

Figure. 7a. Dimensions, modification 1
Figure. 7b. Dimensions, modification 2
When zone shorted, it means the remote activation command and module activates
corresponding relay. If zones not used, terminate them with 2.2 kOhm end-of-line
resistors.
