Install New Reader
The install new reader command sends all the required TAP100 software operating/configuration
information to a reader that has been added to the access control network. It may also be used to
re-initialize a reader that has had its EPROM firmware updated or is no longer responding to the
access control network.
NOTE: When used to re-initialize a reader that has had its EPROM firmware updated or
is no longer responding to the access control network, the install new reader command
must be used with caution because it clears out all events stored locally for that reader.
To install a new reader, use your pointing device and select Readers and then Install new reader.
The following prompt box will appear.
Communication will begin with the selected reader and the Status Message Line will display:
Once communication has been established, the Status Message Line will then change to reflect
each new block of information being sent to the new reader. When complete, the display
automatically returns to the main menu screen.
NOTE: After installing a new reader, we recommend executing the Verify Network
command on page 23 and the Query Status of a Reader command on page 37 to verify
the reader installation has been recognized by the ProxNet system.
Once the new reader has been added, the reader should be configured in the ProxNet system
(see the Configure the Readers section beginning on page 33). The card database should also
be modified to apply the new reader’s access control information to user’s cards (see the Open
Cardholder File command beginning on page 50).
Lock/Unlock Commands
There are two types of lock/unlock commands. The first type performs an immediate lock or
unlock of a door connected to one reader. The second type enables or disables the automatic
locking or unlocking all readers on the network at one time.
Lock A Reader
The lock a reader command immediately locks a selected reader, preventing access or egress.
To immediately lock a reader, use your pointing device and select Readers and then Lock a
reader. The following prompt box will appear.
The Status Message Line will display:
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
