This guide will connect a SimonsVoss device to an Axis Door Controller and make it configurable and operable through the Entryfy platform.
Advanced Configuration
Select an Axis Door Controller that should connect to the SimonsVoss Gateway and go to the advanced configuration form, as shown below.
Create Door
Create a door that matches the name defined in the SimonsVoss CSV file. In this case, we name our door Smart Cylinder.
Do this by clicking Doors to expand and see which doors this door controller has, then press the New Item button and fill out the form. Press the Save button above the form to deploy it to the door controller.
Create DoorConfiguration
Now we can create an associated DoorConfiguration for this door. Do this by clicking DoorConfigurations to expand and see which configurations this door controller has, then press the New Item button.
To link the DoorConfiguration to a door, click the Door name field to get a drop-down to select from doors.
The next step is to create the Configuration items and press + to get a form to build the configuration items.
See the table below to match the data from the CSV file to the configuration in Entryfy.
Entryfy name: | Node type in CSV: | Column name in CSV: |
UserData | LN_I_SH | equipment |
Lock.TCPIP.Address | LN_I_SH | connection details |
Lock.Hardware.Id | LN_I_SH | phi string |
Lock.Hardware.Address | LN_I_SH |
device address |
Lock.Hub.Hardware.Address | GN_ER |
device address |
See the table below to match the additional configuration items that need to be defined in Entryfy.
Entryfy name: | Entryfy value: |
Lock.Type | TCPIP |
Lock.Protocol | SmartIntego |
Lock.TCPIP.Port | 2101 |
Press the Save button above the form to deploy it to the door controller.
Create IdPoint
Create an idpoint that matches the name defined in the SimonsVoss CSV file. In this case, we name our door Smart Cylinder Reader.
Do this by clicking IdPoints to expand and see which idpoints this door controller has, then press the New Item button and fill out the form. Press the Save button above the form to deploy it to the door controller.
Create IdPointConfiguration
Now we can create an associated IdPointConfiguration for this idpoint. Do this by clicking IdPointConfigurations to expand and see which configurations this door controller has, then press the New Item button.
To link the IdPointConfiguration to an idpoint, click the IdPoint field to get a drop-down to select from idpoints.
The next step is to create the Configuration items and press + to get a form to build the configuration items.
See the table below to match the data from the CSV file to the configuration in Entryfy.
Entryfy name: | Node type in CSV: | Column name in CSV: |
IdPoint.Hardware.Id | LN_I_SH | phi string |
IdPoint.TCPIP.Address | LN_I_SH | connection details |
IdPoint.Hardware.Address | LN_I_SH | device address |
IdPoint.Hub.Hardware.Address | GN_ER |
device address |
See the table below to match the additional configuration items that need to be defined in Entryfy.
Entryfy name: | Entryfy value: |
IdPoint.Reader.Type | TCPIP |
IdPoint.TCPIP.Protocol | SmartIntego |
IdPoint.TCPIP.Port | 2101 |
Press the Save button above the form to deploy it to the door controller.
Create AccessPoint
Now we can create an AccessPoint which will link the door, idpoint and direction. Do this by clicking AccessPoints to expand and see which configurations this door controller has, then press the New Item button. Building an AccessPoint contains three steps described below:
- Press the Entity to select which door to link AccessPoint.
- Press the plus sign next to IdPointDevice to select which idpoint works with the door.
- Press the plus sign next to Attributes to select the direction for the access point.
- Name: Direction
- Value: in
Assign AccessPoint to AccessController
Now we need to assign the access point to the AccessController entity on the device. Do this by clicking AccessControllers to expand and see which configurations this door controller has, then press the plus sign next to AccessPointTokens. Then select the newly created AccessPoint from the list.
Create IoAssignment
The last step is to link the idpoint and door through the Eth0 IoAssignment profile. Do this by clicking IoAssignment to expand and see which configurations this door controller has, then press the Eth0 row to open the form.
Fill out ethernet in the IoMode field then we need to create two items for each SimonsVoss device we have added.
