Overview 1-1
Connecting to the NetAXS™ Web Server 1-2

1.1 Overview
A NetAXS™ access control system consists of a host system and NetAXS™ access
control units that exceed existing N-1000-III/IV, Pro Series specifications and
approvals, and that communicate with each other and with a variety of input and
output devices. Each access control unit, or panel, has four reader ports. See the
NetAXS™ NX4L1 Installation Guide or NetAXS™ NX4S1 Installation Guide to view
illustrations of the supported NetAXS™ system configurations.
You access the NetAXS™ access control unit either through a host software system or
by connecting to the NetAXS™ web server by an Ethernet connection. This chapter
describes how to connect to the NetAXS™ web server. Chapter 2 describes how to
use the NetAXS™ web interface after you are connected to the NetAXS™ panel
through the NetAXS™ web server. Chapter 3 describes how to use the web server
interface.

1.2 Connecting to the NetAXS™ Web Server

This section describes how to connect a computer to the NetAXS™ web server via
Ethernet and Internet Explorer.

Notes:

• The NetAXS™ panel that you are connecting to the computer is the Gateway
panel. DIP switch 6 on a Gateway panel must be set to ON for a successful
connection.
• The Microsoft Windows™ screen captures used in this section reflect the
Windows 2000™ platform. If you are using another Windows™ platform, the
screens will be somewhat different.
Perform the following steps:
1. Connect your computer's Ethernet port and the NetAXS™ panel's Ethernet
Port by using either of two methods:
a. Connect both the computer’s Ethernet port and the NetAXS™ panels
Ethernet port to an Ethernet hub with standard straight-through Ethernet
patch cables.

b. Connect the computer’s Ethernet port directly to the NetAXS™ panel’s

Ethernet port with an Ethernet crossover cable. A crossover cable is a
cable that maps all output signals on one connector to the input
signals on the other connector. This allows the computer and the
NetAXS™ panel to perform full-duplex Ethernet communication
through an Ethernet hub or switch.

Configuring the System

Table 2-1: Configuration > System > General Tab Fields (continued)

Parameter Description

Reset Reboots the panel. A reset does not change the current
configuration in the database.

Cardholder Note 1 Specifies any information field you might want to put on
a card. For example, if you enter “Department” here, a
field labeled “Department” appears on the card. The user
who creates the card would then enter the cardholder’s
department name. See Adding New Cards, page 36.

Anti-Passback Enabled – Enables anti-passback, which prevents an

entrant to an area from passing his card back to another
potential entrant.
Local – Enforces anti-passback only at doors configured
locally to the panel controlling the original card read.
Global – Enforces anti-passback at panels throughout the
NetAXS™ system after a successful card read at any one
of the system’s readers.
Forgiveness – Causes all system codes to be reset at
midnight every day. This enables a cardholder who exited
the building in the evening without using his card to use
his card for entry the following morning.

Gateway Panel Addr Sets the panel address of the Gateway panel, or the panel
directly connected to the host system.

Web Session Timeout Disabled – Disables the timeout.

___ Minutes – Activates a web session timeout after the
specified number of minutes has elapsed.

Use PIN Enabled – Requires a valid PIN verification.

Free Egress Enabled – Configures the panel for free egress. Reader 1
activates output 1, reader 2 activates output 2, reader 3
activates output 3, and reader 4 activates output 4. Inputs
1, 3, 5, and 7 are egress defaults that activate outputs 1, 2,
3, and 4, respectively. Inputs 2, 4, 6, and 8 are status
defaults for outputs 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.

Table 2-1: Configuration > System > General Tab Fields (continued)

Parameter Description

Duress Detect Enabled – Enables the user to trigger an alarm or output

device in times of duress, such as when the operator is
forced to grant access against his will to an unauthorized
person. This feature is available only when the reader is
configured with a “Card and Pin” access mode (see
Reader Tab, page 21).
When this feature is enabled, you can configure an
auxiliary output with a pulse time and connect it to a
device with an interlock (see “Outputs Tab“ on page 46
for the output configuration).
During normal operation, the duress output does nothing.
To energize the output, the cardholder presents his card to
a reader that is configured for Card and PIN access (see
“Reader Tab“ on page 21). The cardholder then enters a
PIN that is either one number higher or one number
lower than his correct PIN. For example, if his PIN is
2222, the cardholder would enter either 2221 or 2223.
Even though the PIN is incorrect, the door will still open
normally, but the duress output pulses and an alarm is
generated. In this way, the cardholder notifies others
without detection by the unauthorized person.

Continuous Card Reads Enabled – Enables continuous card reading while the
output is being energized. When this option is not
enabled, a reader will not be able to read a second card
during the pulsing of the output caused by the previous
card read.

Reader LEDs Identifies the color of a reader LED when a grant is

authorized.

Cardholder Note 2 Specifies any information field you might want to put on
a card. For example, if you enter “Phone Number” here, a
field labeled “Phone Number” appears on the card. The
user who creates the card would then enter the
cardholder’s telephone number. See Adding New Cards,
page 36.

Card Use Types Visitor Cards (limited days) – Specifies a card for a
visitor that can be used only a limited number of days.
The specified period begins at the time the card is
created. If you select this option,
Limited-Use Cards – Specifies a card that can be used
only a limited number of times.
Neither – Specifies all cards other than visitor or
limited-use cards.

connects to the panel (through the NetAXS™ gateway panel, which has an
on-board PCI communications adapter), and it enables you to monitor the
status of the NetAXS™ system. The on-board PCI adapter functions as an
interface between a host computer’s RS-232 port and one or more panels
connected on the Multidrop line.
• Web mode (configure and monitor) – the NetAXS™ web server connects to
the panel and enables you to configure the panel and monitor system status.
This tab enables you to select and configure the communication mode you will use to
connect to the panel.

The Reader tab enables you to:

• Define the time zone during which the reader will be disabled. When the
reader is disabled, neither exit nor entry by Card and PIN mode or Card or PIN
mode is allowed. Also, free egress is not allowed.
• Define the time zone during which the reader will be in lockdown mode (see
Time Zones Tab, page 17 for details about setting time zones). When the
reader is in lockdown mode, entry is prevented but egress is still allowed.
• Define the reader’s access mode (the combination of card and/or PIN entry
required by the reader). Note that the access mode defined here for the door
can be overridden by a card assigned with a VIP card type (see “Adding New
Cards“ on page 36 for information about assigning a VIP card type).
• Enable the Card Only, PIN Only, Card and PIN, and Card or PIN access modes
with either the Supervisor or Escort rule:
– Supervisor Rule: When the supervisor presents his card during the specified
time zone just once, he gains access but does not enable access for
non-supervisory personnel.
– Escort Rule: This rule requires a supervisor escort for a non-supervisor.
• Configure the anti-passback feature. When enabled, the anti-passback feature
prevents an entrant to an area from passing his card back to another potential
entrant. Note that anti-passback must first be enabled at the Configuration >

read and a valid PIN entry at the door’s keypad. You can
perform the card read and PIN entry in either sequence.
Supervisor – Enables a supervisor to enter without allowing
access to others. When the supervisor presents his card during
the time zone just once, he gains access but does not enable
access for non-supervisory personnel. If the supervisor presents
his card twice, he enables access for all non-supervisory
personnel as well. After the supervisor presents his card twice to
allow general access, he can disable the general access for the
time zone by presenting his card again twice consecutively.
Escort – Requires a supervisor escort for a non-supervisor
cardholder. The supervisor must present his card first, then the
non-supervisor must present his card within ten seconds of the
supervisor’s card read.

2.4.2 Output Tab

An output, or output relay, is a switch on the panel that either energizes or de-energizes or pulses an
output device, such as a door lock or a horn. For example, a successful card read at a reader (input
device) causes the output relay switch on the panel board to change the normal state of a door lock
(output device), so that the normally-locked door strike releases and permits entry. This tab configures
the output relays.
Click the Output tab:

Figure 2-11: Configuration > Doors > Output Tab

The Output tab enables you to:

• Configure the following for each of the door’s output devices:
– Name
– Pulse time
– Time zones
– Latching
– Interlock
– Keep on
– Snow day
– First card rule

 Configuring via the Web Server
Configuring the Doors

Steps: Use the descriptions in the following table to configure each output device:

Table 2-6: Configuration > Doors > Output Tab Field Descriptions

Setting Description

Name Enter a unique name to identify the device.

Pulse Time Specifies the duration for which the device will assume
abnormal status. For example, it specifies how long a horn
will blow or a door strike will remain released. Enter the
desired number of hours (1024 maximum), minutes (60
maximum), and seconds (60 maximum). The sum of all
three units comprises the pulse time. Note that you can
express seconds in tenths of a second.

Time Zones Specifies two schedules:

• Energized – sets the period during which the output
switches are automatically energized.
• Disable Interlock – sets the period during which the
interlock, or a programmed interaction between
selected inputs and outputs will be disabled.

Latching When selected, this locks a relay (either Normally Open or

Normally Closed) to lock into place until it is reset either
manually or by a signal

Interlock Enables you to disable the interlock, or programmed

interaction between this output device and an input device.

Keep On Keeps the selected input shunted or the selected output (or
output group) energized for the duration of its time zone.

Snow Day Requires, like the First Card Rule, a valid card read before
the time zone (period in which doors are unlocked) can take
effect. Unlike the First Card Rule, however, the user can
swipe the card a second time to return the doors to a locked
state. For example, the principal of a school opens the
school with a valid card read, and then closes the school
with another card swipe when a storm arises. The time zone
does not become active at its normal time.
Note that both Snow Day and First Card Rule cannot be
enabled at the same time.

principal of a school would normally open the school with a
valid card read, and the time zone becomes active at its
normal time. When the school is cancelled due to a storm,
the principal stays home, the doors are not opened, and the
time zone does not become active at its normal time. Note
that both Snow Day and First Card Rule cannot be enabled
at the same time.

Normally Closed, its abnormal state is to be open.
– Shorted (supervised input only) – Reports that the electrical circuit supporting the door and
its devices has been short-circuited.
– Cut (supervised input only) – Reports that the electrical circuit supporting the door has been
cut or disconnected.
• Egress – Allows the door to open or close normally without generating an alarm.
• Tamper – Reports abnormal handling of the reader device or wiring.

2.7 Configuring Other I/O & Groups Tab

The NetAXS™ panel provides up to 14 inputs and eight outputs. Two of the inputs
and four of the outputs are “other” inputs and outputs, because you can use them for
other than door lock/unlock functions. This section explains how to configure these
other inputs, outputs, and groups (for pulse and time zone).

2.7.1 Inputs Tab

This tab enables you to configure inputs 13 (AC Power Fail) and 14 (Panel Tamper)
on Terminal Block 8, and the inputs on downstream MIRO boards daisy-chained to
Terminal Block 10. The downstream inputs are numbered 25-96.

Note: The NetAXS™ panel supports two MIRO types:

• 32/0 – Provides 32 inputs and no outputs.
• 2/16 – Provides two inputs and 16 outputs.
A NetAXS™ panel supports a maximum of six daisy-chained MIROs – two 32/0 boards
and four 2/16 boards. A MIRO-32/0 module has 32 supervised, four-state inputs that
are limited to 2,200 ohms resistance. The MIRO-2/16 has two supervised inputs and
16 SPDT relay outputs; each input is limited to 2,200 ohms resistance. Each board is
configured with a unique address in the Configuration > System > Downstream
Devices tab (see “Downstream Devices Tab“ on page 11).
On panels with internal power supply, the Power Fail input generates an alarm when
primary power is lost as indicated by the power supply. The Panel Tamper input
generates an alarm when the NetAXS™ cabinet has been forced open. The
Downstream inputs are available for general use.

Note: You can also configure the Power Fail and the Panel Tamper inputs for general
use, if you choose not to wire them for power and tamper detection.
Click Inputs to display the Inputs screen. The Power Fail input box appears:

Mode Normally Closed – Specifies that the door’s normal state is

closed.
Normally Open – Specifies that the door’s normal state is open.
Unsupervised – Specifies that the door’s electrical circuit is
wired in one path without alternative paths supervised by
resistors.
Supervised – Specifies that the door’s electrical circuit is wired
with alternative paths supervised by resistors.

Shunt Time Specifies the amount of time for which the inputs will be
shunted, or de-activated. For example, it specifies how long a
door strike will remain released. Enter the desired number of
hours (1024 maximum), minutes (60 maximum), and seconds
(60 maximum). The sum of all three units comprises the shunt
time. Note that you can express seconds in tenths of a second.

Debounce Time Specifies the period of time the input must remain in a new state
before generating an alarm. For example, if a Normal state is
changed to Alarm, the state must remain in Alarm for five
seconds before an alarm is generated.

Time Zones Shunt – Specifies the time period during which the input will be
energized.
Disable Interlock – Specifies the time period during which the
programmed action on this input from another point will be
disabled.
Disable Alarm Msgs – Specifies the time period during which
the input will generate no alarms.

Auto-Relock Causes the door to re-lock immediately when the door status
switch closes after entry. The output relay that controls the door
strike de-energizes when the associated input returns to normal
state instead of remaining energized for the duration of the pulse
time. To enable Auto-Relock, de-select the Disable checkbox,
and select the associated output from the drop down list.

Steps: Use the descriptions in the following table to configure each output device:

Table 2-11: Configuration > Other I/O & Groups > Outputs Tab > Fields

Setting Description

Name Enter a unique name to identify the device.

Pulse Time Specifies the duration for which the device will assume
abnormal status. For example, it specifies how long a horn will
blow or a door strike will remain released. Enter the desired
number of hours (1024 maximum), minutes (60 maximum), and
seconds (60 maximum). The sum of all three units comprises the
pulse time. Note that you can express seconds in tenths of a
second.

Time Zones Specifies two schedules:

• Energized – Sets the period during which the output
switches are automatically energized.
• Disable Interlock – Sets the period during which the
interlock, or a programmed interaction between selected
inputs and outputs will be disabled.

Latching When selected, this locks a relay (either Normally Open or

Normally Closed) to lock into place until it is reset either
manually or by a signal.

Interlock Enables you to disable the interlock, or programmed interaction

between this output device and an input device.

Keep On Keeps the selected input shunted or the selected output (or
output group) energized for the duration of its time zone.

Snow Day Requires, like the First Card Rule, a valid card read before the
time zone (period in which doors are unlocked) can take effect.
Unlike the First Card Rule, however, the user can swipe the card
a second time to return the doors to a locked state. For example,
the principal of a school opens the school with a valid card read,
and then closes the school with another card swipe when a storm
arises. The time zone does not become active at its normal time.
Note that both Snow Day and First Card Rule cannot be enabled
at the same time.

Table 2-11: Configuration > Other I/O & Groups > Outputs Tab > Fields (continued)

Setting Description

First Card Rule Requires a valid card read before the time zone (period in which
doors are unlocked) can take effect. For example, the principal
of a school would normally open the school with a valid card
read, and the time zone becomes active at its normal time. When
the school is cancelled due to a storm, the principal stays home,
the doors are not opened, and the time zone does not become
active at its normal time. Note that both Snow Day and First
Card Rule cannot be enabled at the same time.

2.7.3 Groups Tab

This tab enables you to configure outputs in groups. For example, you might want a group of horns in
your facility to sound for the same duration or to be enabled or disabled according to the same
schedule, or time zone. You might want a group of doors to be energized or de-energized during the
same time zone. A NetAXS™ web server supports up to 64 output groups.

Configuring Interlocks

2.8 Configuring Interlocks

An interlock is a programmed connection between two points. The interlock causes an input point,
output point, or group of output points to act in a specified manner when another input point, output
point, or group of output points changes its state. An action on one point cause a reaction from a
second point on the same panel or attached MIRO board. For example, when a motion detector (input)
detects movement, it causes a horn (output) to sound.

Overview 3-1
Adding a New NetAXS™ Panel 3-2

3.1 Overview
This chapter explains the NetAXS™ configuration functions as accessed via the
Quick Start Wizard (QSW) in WIN-PAK 2005, WIN-PAK PRO 2005, WIN-PAK SE,
and WIN-PAK PE. The QSW creates the ADV options and adds the panel to the
Control Map and the Master Access Level.
These functions should be performed only by the NetAXS™ system administrator or
service personnel.

Notes:

• WIN-PAK 2.0, release 4, uses the same steps provided in this chapter to
configure NetAXS™; however, its screens are not exactly the same.
• NetAXS™ cannot be added to WIN-PAK PRO Release 4 or older.
• For a new Site installation, or for adding to an existing Site, follow the
procedures in this chapter as you would when you add an N-1000-IV-X panel.
One exception to this is that the NetAXS™ panel does not support the use of
the C-100-A1 (20ma current loop installations). Therefore, when you select
the Loop type, 485 AC<-NAK is the only supported type. Direct is reserved
for NS2P; C-100 is not supported.
• If the NetAXS™ panel is configured as a Gateway panel, it appears to
WIN-PAK as an N-485-PCI or N-485-HUB. Using the NetAXS panel as a
Gateway, you should not add N-1000/PW-2000 panels as a downstream panel
to the NetAXS Gateway. The NetAXS Gateway is designed for more efficient
downstream communications than what can be supported by the
N-1000/PW2000 panels.

NetAXS™ Access Control Unit User’s Guide, Document 800-00233, Revision A 3-1
Configuring via WIN-PAK
Adding a New NetAXS™ Panel

The NetAXW Gateway panel’s baud rate is set configured via the NetAXS web server (see the
NetAXS Access Control Unit Installation Guide for instructions). When you set the Loop Type
in the QSW to 485 ACK-NAK, you define the baud rate to be 19.2 kilobits per second. This
baud rate and the panel’s baud rate must match to communicate properly. For WIN-PAK SE or
WIN-PAK PE systems, you can adjust the baud rate of the N-485 device to 115 kilobits per
second for optimum performance.

3.2 Adding a New NetAXS™ Panel

To add a NetAXS panel, first create the panel in the WIN-PAK Quick Start Wizard, and then complete
the configuration manually with the WIN-PAK Panel Configuration screen.

3.2.1 Creating the Panel with Quick Start Wizard

Add a new panel by selecting its Loop and configuring the following from the Quick Start Wizard
Panel screen:
• Panel type (Select N1000-4X/PW2000-4X from the dropdown list)
• Panel name (Loop[Loop number]-Panel [Panel address]
• Panel address (Select from the dropdown list)

Figure 3-1: Quick Start Wizard - Panel Screen

Note: Each panel on a communication loop must have a unique address. The address must correspond
with the address that is set by DIP switches on the panel.
After adding the NetAXS panel via the QSW, you must update the Reader and Input interlocks to
match them with the default wiring of the NetAXS panel. Proceed to “Configuring the Panel
Manually“ on page 3 and make the necessary changes.

8. Display and complete the Inputs tab. If you are using the NetAXS inputs to
monitor the door status or activate a request to exit, then you must reassign the
interlocks as indicated below. If you are not using panel inputs for door status
or egress, you only need to dissolve the interlocks. Note that if you do not
dissolve the default N-1000-IV interlocks, an error will occur during NetAXS
panel initializations.
All Inputs tab functions are available to NetAXS configuration. However, not
all inputs are available and their default functions have changed. NetAXS
supports inputs 1-14. The default functions are listed below. Their default
values are assumed to be zero, unless otherwise noted. You must change the

4.1 Overview
This chapter is written for the NetAXS™ operator who will monitor the following
NetAXS™ status:
• Alarms – Alarms are events, or system transactions, that have been assigned
alarm status. These often include events such as an invalid card read or a
forced door.
• Events – Events are the recorded transactions of the NetAXS™ system. For
example, an event card found, number of users logged in.
• Inputs – Inputs are terminals located on the NetAXS™ panel; the inputs are
wired to input points, such as a card reader, elsewhere in the NetAXS™

Monitoring Inputs

4.4 Monitoring Inputs

A NetAXS™ panel supports door, panel, and auxiliary inputs. The door inputs provide egress and
tamper status, the panel inputs provide power fail and tamper status, and the auxiliary inputs support
any downstream status.
Click Status > Inputs to display the Input Status screen:

Figure 4-5: Status > Inputs

The Input Status screen enables you to:

• View the current status of each input (Normal, Alarm, Trouble, Cut, Short, Shunted).
• Shunt or un-shunt any input. When an input is shunted, the alarm is de-activated. This is a way
you can allow the input to grant access without falsely signalling an alarm. The default state of
an input point is “un-shunted.”
• Restore the input to its configured time zone. A time zone is a specified time period during
which the input will be shunted and the alarm de-activated. (see “Configuring Time
Management“ on page 15).

Monitoring Outputs

4.5 Monitoring Outputs

An output is an output device that changes its normal state when it is energized, pulsed, or time-zone
controlled. For example, a successful card read at a reader pulses a door lock. The lock changes its
normally locked state to an unlocked state and the cardholder opens the door.
A NetAXS™ panel supports one output for each of its four doors. The panel also supports four
additional outputs for auxiliary devices and 64 downstream outputs. Outputs can be configured singly
as discrete outputs (see “Output Tab“ on page 28 and “Outputs Tab“ on page 46) or collectively as a
group of outputs (“Groups Tab“ on page 49).
Note: The Pulse and Restore to Time Zone buttons will be greyed out if no outputs are attached.
Click Status > Outputs to display the Discrete tab of the Output Status screen:

Monitoring Outputs

The Output Status tab enables you to:

• View the current status of each output in the Discrete tab (Energized or
De-energized).
• View the current status of each output group in the Groups tab.
• Energize or de-energize any output or group indefinitely.
• Pulse any output. This energizes the output or group for a configured period of
time (see “Output Tab“ on page 28).
• Restore the output to its configured time zone. A time zone is a specified time
period during which the output will be energized. (see “Configuring Time
Management“ on page 15).
Steps:

1. To energize an output or group of outputs for an indefinite period of time, click

the De-energized button to display a prompt. Click OK to complete the change
to “Energized.”
To de-energize an output or group of outputs for an indefinite period of time, click
the Energized button to display a prompt. Click OK to complete the change to
“De-energized.”
2. To Pulse an output or group of outputs for the configured period of time, click
the Pulse button to display a prompt. Click OK to start the pulse. Note that the
Pulse button will be greyed out if no output is attached.
3. To re-set the output behavior according to its configured time zone, click the
Restore to Time Zone button to display a prompt. Click OK to restore the time
zone. Note that the Restore to Time Zone button will be greyed out if no output
is attached.
