Introduction  
InfoProx 
Entry 
Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) can be assigned to some or all cards to 
increase security. Before access can be granted, a valid PIN must be entered after 
a valid card is read. 
The door control unit can be configured to allow access on entering a specific 
Global Identification Number (GIN) during certain times of the day, without the 
need for a card to be presented.  
Card, configuration, transaction and alarm information is held in the InfoProx Entry 
memory. Recording of alarms and card transactions are also stored for future 
upload to a workstation. 
Optional Software 
The optional InfoProx Entry software utility can be installed on an IBM compatible 
PC, running Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me or NT 4.0 operating systems. 
This application is used to add or remove card records, configure communications, 
upload and backup data, and produce reports. 
Communication between the door control unit and the software application is 
established through an RS232/485 converter plugged into a serial port on the back 
of a PC.  A normal Cat 5 patch cable connects the converter to a female RJ45 
connector, providing cable connection to the InfoProx Entry, as shown in the 
following diagram:

When the PC software is running, a backup copy of the reader database can be 
uploaded from the computer to the reader unit. This data can be used to provide a 
backup copy should the reader database need to be regenerated; used to 
generate reports of card details or to configure other InfoProx Entry units by 
uploading a data file. 
Door Control Unit Administration 
The menu on the InfoProx Entry (the door control unit) is used to configure its 
operational settings and to maintain the card database. To preserve security, 
access to the menu is password protected. An authorized administrator can use 
the menu to carry out a variety of functions, which includes:
