U-PROX IP401 User manual
Description
The U-PROX IP401 control panel is a device designed for access control to residential and industrial premises, as well as for recording passage times and events.
The control panel is supplied in a case with a built-in “request-to-exit” touch button, without a power supply unit.
The control panel operates with readers connected via an RS-232 interface (U-PROX readers only) or via an RS-485 interface using the OSDP protocol (U-PROX SE series readers or readers from other manufacturers with OSDP 2.2 support).
The U-PROX IP401 processes information received from the reader and, using two outputs, switches actuators (for example, locks or sirens).
The control panel has two inputs with fixed functions — a door sensor and a request-to-exit button.
The control panel can operate both autonomously and as part of a network. To combine control panels into an access control network, a Wi-Fi interface (wireless computer network) is used.
The control panel provides network configuration via a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless interface with the mobile app U-PROX Config.
Firmware can be updated remotely via Wi-Fi.
Power supply — 12 V DC.
The U-PROX IP401 control panel controls a single door equipped with one reader and a request-to-exit button. The large amount of non-volatile memory allows the control panel to manage access for up to 10,000 identifiers.
Carefully designed technical and structural solutions, Wi-Fi communication, non-volatile memory, a real-time clock, and protection of reader ports against short circuits, overvoltage, and reverse polarity make this control panel suitable for building various access-control and management systems.
Device Purpose
The U-PROX IP401 cloud control panel is designed to operate within access-control systems (ACS) of various scales — from small offices to large enterprises.

Terms
Identifiers: In access control systems, each user has a unique code. It can be plastic cards, key fobs, etc.
Reader: Devices that read codes and connect to the ACS control panel. The Wiegand RS232 or OSDP interfaces are used.
PIN code: A code entered with the reader keypad; may function independently or as an addition to a card or key fob.
Door: An access control point (e.g., door, turnstile). Access point — a logical unit of the system.
Access point: See “Door.”
Passage point: A logical ACS unit that controls passage through a door in one direction; includes a reader, control panel (or its part), and actuator. A single-point door is one-way; two-point — two-way.
Exit request button: Used to exit a room.
Door contact: An input for connecting magnetic, rotary, or other sensors to monitor door state.
“Passage time” interval: The time after a user passes during which the door is not monitored even if the contact is triggered.
Identifier attempt detection: If several unregistered identifiers are presented consecutively, the control panel switches to alarm mode.
Schedules: Time intervals and schedules that define access rights. The control panel can store up to 250 time intervals, 250 weekly schedules, and 250 holidays.
Time zones: Time intervals used for organizing access schedules.
Download: The process of transferring configuration data from a computer to the control panel after programming.

Control panel Indication
Access mode indication is performed by the reader connected to the control panel. Default settings are as follows:
- Standby mode: no sound, red flashing once per second
- Night mode or Lock: no sound, red-yellow flashing once per second
- Alarm: no sound, solid red
- Card registration: no sound, green flashing once per second
- Initialization: no sound, no light indication
- Data read/upload, firmware update: no sound, solid red
- Access granted: short beep, steady green; 5 seconds before door timeout — short beep once per second
- Access denied: continuous sound, solid red
The touch button LED indicates button pressing only!
Control panel Operation
Control panels are supplied in an unloaded (factory) state, in which the red LED flashes once per second.
To operate, the control panel must be configured using setup software on a mobile device. After the configuration is uploaded and all connections are correct, the control panel switches to “Standby” mode.
The control panel can manage one passage point that operates in four modes: “Standby”, “Alarm”, “Block”, and “Free Passage”. The “Free Passage” mode has the highest priority (e.g., firealarm), followed by “Block”, “Alarm”, and “Standby”.
Control panel Programming
Connect to the control panel using U-PROX Config software via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Supported devices: Android 5.0+ and iOS 8.0+ with Bluetooth 4.0+ (BLE).
- Launch U-PROX Config:
Launch U-PROX Config on your mobile device. If Bluetooth is disabled, enable it (for Android 6.0 and higher — enable location services). Tap “Search” to detect nearby devices.
- Connect to the control panel:
Select the U-PROX IP401 control panel from the list and press “Connect.”
- Enter the engineering code:
After selecting the device, you’ll be prompted to enter an engineering code. Enter the default code (1234) or another code provided by the manufacturer.
- Configure network parameters:
Using U-PROX Config, configure Wi-Fi, DNS, IP address (or enable DHCP), and the port used to connect to the ACS server or cloud system.
Default code — 1234
- Add the control panel to access control system (ACS) according the ACS manual
- Register identifiers and create users:
Using the access control system (ACS), add identifiers (contactless cards, PIN codes, mobile identifiers) and assign appropriate access rights and schedules.
- Upload configuration:
After completing all settings upload the configuration to the control panel. The device will switch to standby mode.
Control panel Firmware Update
After connecting to Wi-Fi, the “Firmware Update” option will appear in the control panel’s settings menu. Tap this option, choose the update type (from the default server or via a custom link), and the firmware will download in the background. The control panel will update automatically (the process takes approximately 5 minutes).

U-PROX IP401 Cloud Access Control panel
Meet the new product that is already available for order - the U-PROX PIR Cam wireless motion detector.
If the detector is triggered, it will send one or a series of photos to assess the situation to the U-PROX Home mobile app and the central monitoring station of the security company. The photo will be sent only during an obvious alarm.
This detector also has the “pet immune” function, which means that it is not sensitive to the movement of animals weighing up to 20 kg and up to 1 m high.
Simple installation, easy addition to the new generation U-PROX MPX security system hub, and an unrivaled communication range with the hub allow you to find a good location in your space.
Clear photo verification of the alarm has the highest quality specifications:
- motion detection range up to 12 m
- photo resolution: 640×480, 320×240, 240×176 pixels
- infrared illumination up to 8 meters for shooting in the dark and low light
- photo transfer time up to 9 seconds.
It should also be noted that U-PROX PIR Cam uses intelligent algorithms to eliminate false alarms. This allows you to be sure that you receive notifications only in case of a real threat.
Choose the new U-PROX PIR Cam with photo verification, because clarity adds peace of mind and comfort to life!

The control panes is the “brain” of the system, which determines whether or not the owner of the identifier is allowed to enter the door.
It has a built-in memory that stores identifier codes with a list of access rights for each of them.
When a person presents (brings to the reader) an identifier, the code read from it is compared with the one stored in the database, on the basis of which a decision is made to open the door.
-
A reader is a device that reads the code (key) of the identifier and transmits it to the controller.
-
PACS — Physical Access Control System —an access control and management system is a set of hardware and software control and management tools.
The main goal is to restrict and register the entry-exit of objects in a given area through “points of passage”: doors, gates, etc.
The main task is to control access to a given territory (who to let in, at what time and to what territory), including also:
- restricting access to a given territory;
- identification of a person who has access to a given territory.
-
An identifier is the basic element of an access control system that stores a code.
Each client is assigned a specific key (code), which serves to determine the owner’s rights – identification.
A card, a key fob, a tag can perform the function of an identifier.
