To receive Door offline events when the reader connected to a VertX V100 panel
is either disconnected or powered off, you must configure the I'm Alive
reader setting in Config Tool and program the
reader with the appropriate configuration card.
Reader supervision is only supported for readers connected to a VertX V100 panel that
is controlled by a Synergis unit.
Procedure
From the Config Tool homepage, open the
Access control task.
Click Roles and units, and then click the Synergis unit.
Click Hardware, and then scroll to the V100 panel to which the
reader is connected.
If your Synergis unit is controlling multiple V100 panels, make sure you identify the
correct reader by its Channel, its physical
Address, and its door number (Door1 or
Door2).
Under the selected door, click ReaderImAliveSettings, and change
its value to Some.
The Time must be equal or greater than the I'm
Alive time found on the reader configuration card, and the
Message must correspond to the I'm Alive
message (170 is the decimal equivalent of AA in hexadecimal).
Click Apply.
Configure the reader using the appropriate field programming card (also known as a
configuration card).
When this reader is disconnected from the V100 panel or powered down, you now get the
event Door offline: Device is offline on the door that it is associated to.
