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.

  • 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.
