Brief description of the repeater
U-Prox HE repeater - a device designed to extend the range of the wireless
subsystem of U-Prox access control system.
Repeater operates with U-Prox IC L access control panel and U-Prox IP500 wireless
battery powered escutcheons.
Ethernet (wired LAN) used for U-Prox HE connection to U-Prox IC.
The network settings of the repeater programming and firmware upgrade performed
via a standard USB port (micro USB B).
U-Prox HE supports power supply External 12V DC (+E, GND) and 802.3af PoE.
Repeater can connect to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or injector, simplifying
installation and eliminating the need for expensive additional wiring
Intended use
U-Prox HE repeater is designated to operate in U-Prox IP access control system for
U-Prox IP500 control panel network range extension.

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 repeater
(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.
Downloading
Repeater is to be downloaded after all parameters are set. During downloading
parameters are rewritten into repeater.

Light emitting diodes (LED)
LED’s from left to right:
Link LED
Ethernet cable is OK when lit
Act. LED:
Frequent flashing means data exchange
LED –bi-color LED
Red flashes 2 times per second –no connection to the U-Prox IC L
Green flashes once per second –connection to the U-Prox IC L
Repeater operation
The repeaters supplied unloaded with factory settings below in document. In this
state, the bi-color LED on the repeater flashes red twice per second. To make the
repeater work in access control system (ACS) you have to download a network
setting using the "Configurator" software and USB port or use the automatic
adjustment mode.
Repeater goes to the “Normal” mode after downloading 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.
In the Normal mode repeater processes information from U-Prox IP500 panels
received through the built-in wireless ISM band interface and transmits it to U-Prox
IC L through Ethernet and local computer network.
Communicator operation
U-Prox HE repeater operates automatically. After the download from the U-Prox IC L
the data from U-Prox IP500 wireless control repeaters processed and access event
messages are sent to the U-Prox IC L.
Repeater Communicator operates in notification mode that means that data
transmission to the U-Prox IC L is initiated on the access event.
U-Prox HE repeater connected to the computer network with wired Ethernet.
Both local enterprise computer network operation (see Fig.3) and Internet network
(see Fig.4) operation via repeaters provided. This allows the distributed systems of
any scale construction.

Fig. 4. Distributed network example
It is highly recommended to use VPN technology for computer network
connecting central office with sites for additional security.
It is highly recommended to use routers with two different technology Internet
access channels fir redundancy.
Algorithm of working in LAN
1. If DHCP - obtaining IP address with the start of the repeater
2. Update of IP status of address (announcement and extension of reserved
IP, if DHCP)
3. Determine accessibility of U-Prox IC L (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 repeater
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)
