How to configure readers in the ATRIUM software
Introduction
Readers such as keypads and proximity readers are used to request access to an area via a door.
Each controller supports two readers and up to four 2-Door Expansion Modules which provide two readers each. Therefore, each controller can monitor the state of up to 10 readers.
From the Hardware tab, click on the Readers icon.
Modifying a Reader
