Configuring doors equipped with an Aperio-enabled lock
2025-07-15Last updated
To ensure that you do not receive duplicate Door locked and Door
unlocked events in Security Desk, you
must disable the Automatically grant REX option for all doors equipped
with an Aperio-enabled lock.
The Aperio-enabled lock uses a mechanical REX. The Synergis Cloud Link
unit does not control the unlocking of the door when a REX is triggered. Enabling
Automatically grant REX in the door configuration causes the
Door locked and Door unlocked events to be received twice in Security
Desk.
Procedure
From the Config Tool homepage, open the Area
view task.
In the entity tree, select the door that uses the Aperio-enabled lock.
Click the Properties tab.
In the Request to exit (REX) section, turn off the
Unlock on REX option.
Click the Hardware tab, and then select the Synergis Cloud Link unit that controls the lock.
All peripherals corresponding to the same lock are named with the same prefix
“Aperio X - Interface n,” where X is the channel number
(1 - 4), and n is the EAC address of the lock.
In the Door side In section, assign the reader corresponding
to the door.
In the Door side Out section, assign the REX sensor
corresponding to the door.
In the Additional connections section, apply the following
settings:
Assign the lock relay to Door lock.
Assign the door sensor input to Door sensor.
Assign the KeyCylinderInside or the KeyCylinderOutside to
Manual station, if applicable.
If the reader is intended to work in Card and PIN mode, ensure that you
configure a timeout long enough for the cardholder to enter the PIN.
The default access timeout of 5 seconds is not long enough for Aperio-enabled
locks. After presenting their credential at the door, the cardholder has to wait
until the LED turns green before entering the PIN. This process invariably takes
longer than 5 seconds.
Click Reader settings () beside the
Reader list.
In the Reader settings dialog box, turn on the
Use card and PIN option.
Set the PIN entry timeout to the desired
duration.
