  Related Products Readykey Pro Access Easy Controller Access Professional Edition Building Integration System D9210B Question What is the difference between the two different types of iClass keypad readers that are available? Answer ARD-RK40-09 This reader is in 8-bit unbuffered output mode. Basically, every key pressed outputs 8 bits of data. This is useful for applications that use multi-factor authentication. This would include Readykey Pro, BIS, Access Easy Controller, and Access Professional Edition. Multi-factor authentication requires a card and pin-code to gain entry. This is important because the card is a physical object (for example, something you have), while the pin-code is a mental object (for example, something you know). Most systems described here allow for either single-factor or multi-factor authentication using the ARD-RK40-09. ARD-RK40-14 This reader is in 26-bit buffered output mode. This reader would primarily be used in access control on the intrusion series of panels using the D9210B Weigand interface module. This mode only allows for a single-factor of authentication. This reader is useful in applications that require convenience of entering a code from a keypad (for example, the card was left at home). This reader simply outputs a standard 26-bit Weigand string to simulate a card read. Typically, the facility code is set to zero. Note: These readers will read only iClass smart cards. The ARD-RK40-14 should only be used with standard 26-bit iClass cards. ... View more

  Related ProductsReadykey Pro Question How can I ensure that clients do not change certain features that require exclusive use of the SQL database for Readykey Pro? Answer Certain activities require that there are not any applications logged into the SQL database. These activities include running a database backup, archive, database setup, or forms designer. In some cases, a server has many clients logged into the database remotely. This makes it difficult to close all client connections. There is an easy way to work around this by running a few SQL commands. Login to SQL Management Studio Express. Expand the Databases folder and find AccessControl (for example, the Readykey Pro database). Right click on AccessControl and select New Query. In the query window, type: sp_who2 [Click EXECUTE]. Look for all SPID that have the login type of lenel. For each SPID number of login type lenel, type: kill (SPID) [Click EXECUTE]. IMPORTANT: Do not kill SPID for SQL Server, as this will kill the Management Studio connection. Run the required application (for example, Database Backup). This method does not prevent future connections to SQL Server. If an exclusive connection is required, the port SQL Server uses can be blocked by a firewall (for example, TCP port 1433). You should block ports with caution because it may also block local connections. A better solution would be to temporarily disable remote connections to SQL Server using SQL Server Configuration Manager. ... View more

  Related Products AEC version 1 Question Transactions are not displayed correctly, a red X is shown, or a general issue displaying the View Activity page on Access Easy Controller. What can cause this? Answer Certain pages on the AEC version 1, run Java applets (e.g. web applications). The View Activity page is one such page. It is recommended that the version of Java be verified to ensure it meets the recommended version, as an incorrect version will cause the page to improperly display transactions.  The recommended version is Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 update 6. Oracle / Sun updates the version of Java occasionally. When this happens, older versions of the Java software will have features that are deprecated in the new version. This can cause errors if a feature that has been deprecated is required with the Java applet. For this reason, it is important that the correct version be used and, if possible, the specific update that the Java software was written for is used.   JRE 5.0 update 6 can be found on the AEC Utility CD http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_06/index.html ...

  Related Products C900V2 D6600 D6100i Question What causes the C900 VOLTAGE LOW and C900 VOLTAGE RESTORE messages at the D6600 or D6100i Receiver? Answer C900 (Battery/AC) VOLTAGE LOW message: If the input voltage of the C900V2 module drops below 10.75 Vdc to 11 Vdc, the module sends this message. If the input voltage of the C900V2 module rises above 11 Vdc, the module sends a restoral (for example, C900 VOLTAGE RESTORE). Note: Some control panels cannot supply enough current for the C900V2 module, which causes the control panel´s voltage to be overdrawn. When this happens, the DC voltage output from the control panel drops below this threshold. It is advisable to ensure that a dedicated UL-listed power supply is used to ensure that enough power is supplied to the C900V2 module in this scenario. ... View more
