AS200 Controller Authentication Method

2. AS200 Controller Authentication Method

The AS200 Controller supports the four types of authentication methods for door-access
control:

One-way control: A door is equipped with one card reader for entry. For example, a
user may swipe a card to open the door of office and push a button to leave from the
same door.

Two-way control: A door is equipped with two card readers. The outer reader is
defined as entry reader and the inner reader is defined as exit reader. For example, a
user may swipe a card to gain access to a laboratory, and swipe a card to exit from the
same door.

Mixed control: A mix of One-Way and Two-Way Control applications. Some doors are
equipped with one card reader for entry and some doors are equipped with two card
readers for entry and exit. For example, a building includes both office and laboratory
applications.

One-way traffic: Two doors are applied for entry and exit separately. For example, in a
parking lot, a user may swipe a card at the entrance and swipe a card again at the exit.

By default the AS200 Controller is set to one-way control. For the applications requiring
more than 2 doors, the Expansion I/O Module can be added to expand two additional doors.

Installation and Wiring

3. Installation and Wiring

Please open the AS200 Controller cabinet and wire the necessary connections to the AS200
Controller module.

The connected computer is used to program the ASServer. The communication mode can
be either RS-485 or Ethernet. The default value is set to RS-485 with 57600bps. For
Ethernet mode, an optional Ethernet module is required.
For RS-485 connection to the PC, the GV series products for RS-485/RS-232 converter can
be applied, such as GV-Hub, GV-COM and GV-NET/IO Card V3.

Note:

The AS200 Controller is not compatible with GV-NET Card and GV-NET/IO Card of
versions earlier than V3.

The maximum of 16 AS200 Controllers can connect to the same COM port.

3.2 Connecting Inputs

The AS200 Controller provides four digital inputs:
-

Button inputs, e.g. door opener

Sensor inputs, e.g. door status sensor

Fire inputs, e.g. fire detector

Tamper inputs, e.g. tamper detection sensor

The factory defaults of Button inputs and Sensor inputs are set to wet contact; the defaults
of Fire inputs and Tamper inputs are set to dry contact.

The inputs are located at the bottom of the AS200 Controller module.

Senor Inputs
The Sensor inputs can connect to a doors micro switch for door status monitoring.
Triggering the Sensor inputs can generate the two alarm states:

Installation and Wiring

Tamper alarm- when the door is forcibly opened by unauthorized persons.

Door held open alarm- when the door is open for a period exceeding the lock strike
programmed open time.

By using the Input Contact Switch next to the Sensor inputs, set your Sensor device to dry
or wet contact. Refer to Input Contact Switches below.

Fire Inputs
The Fire inputs can connect to a fire detection device such as smoke detector. The default
setting is dry contact.

Tamper Inputs
The Tamper inputs can connect to a tamper switch to detect unauthorized opening of the
door. The default setting is dry contact.

Note:
1. If your output devices require more than 12V DC, connect the necessary power
directly to the power terminals without using the AS200 Controller power converter.
2. The door-locking and alarm devices must use the same voltage, or device damage
may occur.
3. If the door-locking device (Door +/-) is a grounded circuit type (NC), the emergency
door release device (Urgent 1/2) must be configured as the same circuit type as well.
4. If the emergency door release device (Urgent 1/2) is not connected and the door relay
is normally closed, please close the Urgent circuit.

AS200E

6. AS200E
The AS200E Controller, equipped with the Ethernet Module, can communicate with
ASServer over the network. The following sections describe how to install the AS200E on
the network and how to configure the AS200E over the network.

6.1 Installing AS200E on a Network

The AS200E Controller is able to support two network environments: Fixed IP and DHCP.
Depending on your network, choose Fixed IP for a static IP address, or DHCP for a dynamic
IP address such as those assigned by an ISP or other DHCP server.

6.1.1 Fixed IP Connection

If your network environment supports a static IP address, the wiring is illustrated as below:

LAN or
INTERNET

Card Reader

AS200E Controller

ASServer

Door

21

To assign the AS200E Controller to a fixed IP:

1. Open an Internet browser, and type the default IP address https://192.168.0.100. This
dialog box appears.

Figure 1

2. In the User Name and Password fields, type default value admin and 1234 respectively.
Click OK. This page appears.

Figure 2
22

AS200E

3. In the Machine Name field, name the connected AS200E Controller.

4. Click Disable. Type the static IP address information, including IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Default Gateway and Domain Name Server.
5. Click Submit. When the connection is established, the Status field indicates Register
Success.
Note: If you like to use the domain name instead of IP address, you may use Domain
Name Service as well. For details on domain name service, refer to DHCP Connection
below.

6.1.2 DHCP Connection

If your network environment is using the dynamic IP address from a DHCP server, please
use one of the following DDNS servers to map a dynamic IP address to a static domain
name or device name:

For LAN connection, GV LocalDDNS Server is provided.

For Internet connection, two DDNS servers are supported: GeoVision DDNS
Server and Dynamic Network Services Inc. (DynDNS).

23

6.1.2.1 Connection over LAN

The GV-developed LocalDDNS Server can map a device name to the varying IP address
of your AS200E Controller, by which the ASServer can access the AS200E Controller by
the device name.
The Local DDNS Server can be installed in either ASServer or a separate computer. The
wiring of the LocalDDNS application is illustrated as below.

Note: The Local DDNS Server can

be installed in (1) ASServer
OR (2) a separate computer.

Installing LocalDDNS Server

To install the LocalDDNS Server in a computer, insert the Software CD. It will run
automatically and a window appears. Select Install GeoVision V1.0 Access Control
System, click GeoVision Dynamic DNS Service and follow the on-screen instructions.
After Installation, the program will be minimized to the system tray.

24

AS200E

Configuring AS200E on LAN

After running the LocalDDNS Server, configure the AS200E Controller on LAN:
1. Open an Internet browser, and type the default IP address https://192.168.0.100. The
login dialog box (see Figure9) appears.
2. In the User Name and Password fields, type default value admin and 1234 respectively,
Click OK. The Network Configuration page (see Figure 2) appears.
3. Click Enable, and select Send to Local DDNS.
4. In the Server IP field, type the IP address of the LocalDDNS Server.
5. In the Device Name field, keep the default setting or change it to match that of the
ASServer.

Figure 3
25

6. Click Submit to send the information to the LocalDDNS Server. When the connection is
established, the Status field indicates: Register Success.

Note: The default value of the device name is user. If more than one AS Contorller is
connected to the ASServer, assign each device a different name.

6.1.2.2 Connection over Internet

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) provides another way of accessing the AS200E
Controller when using a dynamic IP. DDNS assigns a domain name to the AS200E
Controller, so the ASServer can always access the AS200E Controller by the domain name.
To enable the DDNS function, you should first apply for a domain name from the DDNS
service providers website. There are 2 providers listed in the AS200E Controller: GeoVision
DDNS Server and DynDNS.org. To register at the GeoVision DDNS Server, see the
following instructions. For details on DynDNS, please consult them at www.dyndns.org.

Device Port: Keeps the default value 4000. Or modify it to match that of the ASServer.
Mac Address: Indicates the MAC address of the network medium.
Firmware Version: Indicates the current firmware version of the AS200E Controller.
Reboot System: Performs a warm boot of the AS200E Controller. This operation will
keep the current configuration.
Default Value: Resets all configuration parameters to their factory settings. This may
take 5 seconds to complete.

8. Troubleshooting
The card reader does not respond after being installed.
If the card reader does not respond it may be the problem of the power. Try these steps:
1. To verify the problem, remove the paper covered on the AS200 Controller module and
check if the power light of the card reader is ON.
2. If the card reader is connected over a long distance, use two additional resistors of 10K
ohms to solve the problem. Insert one resistor between D0 and 12V and insert the other
