Managing Readers in the ATRIUM software

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

From the Hardware tab, click on the Readers icon, select a reader from the list and click on the Properties button.
