==Introduction==

If you pick up a lock catalog, there are a huge number of choices for electric strikes, door magnets, and locks. This article is designed to help you choose appropriate hardware for your home or commercial door.
 
===Disclaimer===
This page was not written by locksmiths. Modifying a fire-rated door may void its rating, and installing your hardware incorrectly may lock you out. No warranties as to the safety, fitness for use or reliability of this project are expressed or implied.
Intro to Electrified Door Locks
 
The basic requirement for any electronic access control system is that you be able to close a relay, energize (or de-energize) some piece of physical hardware, and thus unlock the door. There are several types of doors that we will cover:
 
===Garage doors===
These are trivial to electrify, provided that you have an electric garage door opener installed. Electrifying one of these simply involves tapping the "door open" button on the wall and running it to one of your relays. Be sure to check with a multimeter to see if the button is normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) and connect the appropriate terminals.

===Residential deadbolts===
This would be your typical Kwikset or Schlage lock set as found in most homes in North America. They usually mount in a 2.25" hole. Options for electrifying these include special door strikes that will push in and release the latch, surface-mounted hardware that does not use the installed lock, and modified "keyless entry" sets available from hardware stores. Modifying one of these consists of opening it up, finding the solenoid, and soldering wires to it. You can run the wires through the door or via a piece of flex cable to your panel. A 3-6V power source (to match the battery supply) will be needed.

===Commercial doors with mortise locks===
These can be identified as the type of door where most of the hardware is embedded in a large pocket in the door edge. The only bits you may see from the outside are a small round lock cylinder and some type of handle. Common brands are Sargent, Adams Rite, and the professional lines from Schlage. A commercial lock catalog will have many variations of electric hardware for these.

===Glass store front doors===
The majority of retail and office space in the U.S. comes equipped with an Aluminum-frame door containing an Adams-Rite mortise deadbolt or dead latch. There is specific hardware available from the manufacturer for this.

===Other types of doors===
A common way to electrify anything else (interior doors, doors where you do not have access to the door frame to run a strike or wires) is a door magnet. These are large electromagnets that are typically bolted into the top of the door and are rated for 1000-2500lbs holding force. When energized, they keep the door shut. They are also "fail secure," meaning that the door will open when power is interrupted. This can be a good thing for a fire exit, but may not be a good thing for a secure area.

===How to Measure your Door===
 
There are a few key parameters that you must know in order to order lock hardware. These measurements mostly apply to mortise locks, but may be asked for when ordering for other types.

====Handing====
This refers to what direction the door opens, with respect to the hinges and interior.
 
The way this is specified is really confusing. There are only two types of locks Adams Rite sells for these doors. "LH" or "Left Hand" is the same as "RRH" or "Reverse Right Hand" for purposes of ordering parts. We have the LH/RRH, as our door opens out, with thedoorknob on the left if you are standing outside looking at it. Here is a good description:

[http://www.directdoorhardware.com/door_handing.htm Door handing guide]

[https://www.doorwaysplus.com/door-handing-chart/ Convenient chart]

Backset - This is the distance between the center of the keyhole and the front edge of the lock. Ours was 1 1/8", which is pretty common for glass store front doors. Your door edge might be tapered or rounded, so measure the front edge first.

Door edge - If you open the door and look at the edge, it could be square, rounded or beveled. The trim plate that covers the locking mechanism might be available in more than one contour. If it is, get it. If not, the rounded one will fit anyway. Ours came with both a square and rounded one.

====How to take apart a mortise lock====

Taking apart most mortise locks pretty easy. The steps for an Adams Rite are as follows:

Open the door and unscrew the trim plate that covers the locking mechanism on the door edge. There should be two Allen head or flat-head screws visible. Unscrew them about 10 turns, then grasp the lock cylinder (use the key partially inserted or a screwdriver) unscrew the lock cylinder from the door front. Remove the lock cylinder or exit device from the inside using the same procedure.

There may also be a "locked/unlocked" status indicator on the inside. Remove this as well.

Looking at the door edge, you should see two long bolts securing the deadbolt mechanism to the door frame. Remove these, and the whole mortise assembly will come out.

===How to run the wiring===

Most metal doors are hollow, and all Aluminum frame glass doors have hollow edges. You can use a fish tape to run a 2-pair wire from the lock, through the frame, and up to a corner by the hinge. There are a couple of options for getting power to the door:

====Electrified hinges====
These are sexy, but may require professional installation. This is a good option to ask for if you are ordering a new door.
====Armored security cable====
This is a 1/4" diameter metal cable that looks like the outside of a payphone handset cord. They typically come with hardware that lets you terminate them into the door frame and door, and they are hollow. We used a "Securitron" brand cable, which is pretty standard. You can mount the end of this to the door frame (if it's hollow and you have access to the attic to fish it) or to a junction box like you would use for a network cable drop.

===Voltage and amperage considerations===

Many of the newer strikes and door locks use a low-current solenoid that simply moves a pin out of the way, allowing the user to pull or push the door open. These usually use 200ma - 1A of current.
 
Some systems have very powerful solenoids, and will require a 5A or larger power supply and wiring.
 
*Most of the newer device mentioned above will work with 18-22ga wire, depending on the length of the run. You can often get away with CAT5 cable if you solder some of the pairs together. Always check the manufacturer's data sheet to be sure.
*Watch out for continuous vs. intermittent duty cycles. Some hardware cannot be left in an unlocked state indefinitely, while other models can.
===AC vs. DC.===
The voltage rating for AC current is often different than DC, as some of these devices rely on inductance to present the proper load to the power supply. Running a 12VAC rated device at 12VDC may cause it to overheat.

===Door supervision===
Some hardware comes with an open/closed sensor inside the lock. This is a nice, clean way to run the door sensor lines, but be sure to check before ordering. Many manufacturers make several variants of their hardware, and you may get one that is wired up for it but does not have the feature installed.

 
It probably goes without saying, but you MUST protect the wiring to these devices if you want to have any security at all. Unlike the reader inputs, tampering with the door hardware can lead to immediate access being granted.

Arclight: /* How to attach a Raspberry Pi Kit */

==How to attach a Raspberry Pi Kit==
 

The Open Access v4 comes equipped with a 6-pin header that can directly interface to any [http://www.raspberrypi.org Rapsberry Pi] computer.
 
Additionally, mounting holes are provided for attaching the device directly to the Open Access board, making this a clean, compact solution.

===Mounting the Pi===
*A Rasberry Pi Model B mounts straight to the PCB using the mounting holes at opposite corners of the PCB. 0.750"nylcon spacers and 4-40 nylon screws are provided.
*A Model B+ uses different hardware. The straight spacer goes on the lower left mounting hole, and the offset spacer goes on the upper right.
 
[[File:Rpi_mounting.jpg|300px]]
 
===Header location and pinout===
The header is located on the lower left corner of the PCB, next to the Lithium 2032 battery. It is labelled J5/RPi-IN.
 Pinouts are as follows:
 1 3.3V In
 2 +5V Out
 3 GND
 4 UART RX
 5 UART TX
 6 Spare
 
Schematic:
 
[[File:Raspberry_pi_connector.png|300px]]
 
===Raspberry Pi Pinout and connections===
The supplied ribbon cable will power the Raspberry Pi, and optionally allow a direct UART interface to between the Open Access and the Pi, saving a USB port. When used in this manner, 2-wya communication is possible, but not software updates. Updating the software on the Open Access requires attaching a USB cable and setting jumper J5 to "USB." Set J5 to RPi to use the on-board UART connection.
 
Note that the Mode B and Model B+ have different connectors. The older Model B uses a 26-pin 2-row connector, while the newer B+ uses a 40-pin connector. Fortunately, the power, ground and UART pins are in the same place for each. When installing the Raspberry Pi connector, make sure to connect Pin 1 on the Open Access with Pin 1 on the Pi. For reference, here is the RPi GPIO pinout:

==How to attach a Raspberry Pi Kit==
 

The Open Access v4 comes equipped with a 6-pin header that can directly interface to any [http://www.raspberrypi.org Rapsberry Pi] computer.
 
Additionally, mounting holes are provided for attaching the device directly to the Open Access board, making this a clean, compact solution.

===Header location and pinout===
The header is located on the lower left corner of the PCB, next to the Lithium 2032 battery. It is labelled J5/RPi-IN.
 Pinouts are as follows:
 1 3.3V In
 2 +5V Out
 3 GND
 4 UART RX
 5 UART TX
 6 Spare
 
Schematic:
 
[[File:Raspberry_pi_connector.png|left]]
===Raspberry Pi Pinout and connections===
The supplied ribbon cable will power the Raspberry Pi, and optionally allow a direct UART interface to between the Open Access and the Pi, saving a USB port. When used in this manner, 2-wya communication is possible, but not software updates. Updating the software on the Open Access requires attaching a USB cable and setting jumper J5 to "USB." Set J5 to RPi to use the on-board UART connection.
 
Note that the Mode B and Model B+ have different connectors. The older Model B uses a 26-pin 2-row connector, while the newer B+ uses a 40-pin connector. Fortunately, the power, ground and UART pins are in the same place for each. When installing the Raspberry Pi connector, make sure to connect Pin 1 on the Open Access with Pin 1 on the Pi. For reference, here is the RPi GPIO pinout:

Sheeva Plug Monitoring

This page explains how to set up a Sheevaplug embedded PC for monitoring the Open Access Control.

Updated 10/19/2012 (originally published at code.google.com)

==Plug Computer Device Setup==

Tutorial based on the Sheevaplug PC from Globalscale Technologies and ArmedSlack Linux v13.37.

1. Download ArmedSlack 13.37.

mkdir armedslack
cd armedslack
rsync -Pavv --delete ftp.armedslack.org::armedslack/armedslack-current .

2. Install an 8GB MMC card. We used high-speed model from Sandisk, no problems.

3. Attach to the plug PC with a mini USB to USB A cable. Linux terminal instructions are in the Slackware install doc here: ftp://ftp.armedslack.org/armedslack/armedslack13.3/INSTALL_KIRKWOOD.TXT

Windows USB serial drivers are here, also more Linux help:

http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Serial_terminal_program

4. Follow installation instructions at:

ftp://ftp.armedslack.org/armedslack/armedslack/3.37/INSTALL_KIRKWOOD.TXT

5. Set up a TFTP and NFS server. Instructions for Ubuntu are below.

TFTP

NFS

a. If you get a CRC error on the boot or root image, re-download it from the mirror site and try again. This seems to be a common problem. Also, be sure you did not download and of the packages in ASCII mode.

b. You need to run mmcinit twice on the boot loader to get it to recognize the card.

c. Use an ext2 file system for the /boot volume. The / volume can be ext4 (recommended for journaling)

d. The device names should be as follows:
<pre>
/dev/mmcblk0p1 2048 206847 102400 83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p2 206848 1845247 819200 82 Linux swap
/dev/mmcblk0p3 1845248 15646719 6900736 83 Linux

</pre>

Using /dev/sda1,sda2,sda3 does not work! These file system sizes are good for the 8GB card.

e. Use these boot arguments:
<pre>
Marvell>> setenv bootargs_console console=ttyS0,115200
# note changed device file:
Marvell>> setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 waitforroot=10 rootfs=ext4'
Marvell>> setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(bootargs_root); run bootcmd_slk ; reset'
# for MMC:
Marvell>> setenv bootcmd_slk 'mmcinit;ext2load mmc 0:1 0x01100000 /uinitrd-kirkwood;ext2load mmc 0:1 0x00800000 /uImage-kirkwood;bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000'
# save
Marvell>> saveenv
Marvell>> reset
</pre>

6. Install these packages:
<pre>-All dev/make/gcc/binutils/glibc/kernel headers/etc</pre>

This will enable building from source. This is much easier to do from the inititial installation script. pkgtool does not let you see the "everything" and "all dev" type options later. You'll get stuck having to manually add missing libraries/etc like I did, so watch out!

*iptables (Needed for securing the system later)

*All networking, openssl, basic required packages. -All Marvell utilities in the Slackware distribution

*These specific packages we need for the Security Monitoring scripts:

a. msmtp (Command-line mail sending client. Will work with SMTP/Gmail/Yahoo/etc)

Download and build from: http://msmtp.sourceforge.net Must also install openSSL for TLS/SSL support! Also, install a root CA file from Firefox or similar in: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

b. minicom (Terminal program, we use this to communicate with the Arduino.)

Use the built-in Slackware package, but be aware that it will just hang and seg-fault unless you first modify this file:

/etc/minirc.dfl -> Open this file in vi and add a carriage return/line feed at the bottom and save.

c. screen (We use screen to run minicom interactively)

Note:

A complete installation of everything will fit on the 8GB flash card. You can also pull the flash card out and copy the complete set of package files from your host PC to a directory once the basic install is completed. This will leave you with abotu 2GB free on the / file system.

7. Configure networking and plug in your Arduino to the large USB 'A' port. The stock kernel seems to have no problem recognizing the built-in network devices and the FTDI chip on the Arduino is recognized as :

/dev/ttyUSB0

8. Now it's time to configure our monitoring stuff. Follow these instructions:
Setup the monitoring system

a. Create a normal user to run your monitoring scripts under. We'll call this user "access" for the tutorial.

b. Create a directory called "scripts" in their home directory. Place the following files in this directory and modify the e-mail addresses, messages, etc as needed.
<pre>
start_screen_logging.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Start logging functions in a screen
/bin/su - access -c "screen -dmS MINICOM /home/access/scripts/start_logging.sh"

log_notify.sh:
</pre>

<pre>
#!/bin/bash
tail -0f /home/access/scripts/access_log.txt | egrep --line-buffered -i "authenticated" | while read line
do
rm /home/access/scripts/message_tmp.txt
cp /home/access/scripts/log_msg.txt /home/access/scripts/message_tmp.txt
sleep 1
tail -6 /home/access/scripts/access_log.txt >> /home/access/scripts/message_tmp.txt
msmtp -t < /home/access/scripts/message_tmp.txt
done

log_alert.sh:
</pre>

<pre>
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/access/scripts
tail -0f /home/access/scripts/access_log.txt | egrep --line-buffered -i "triggered" |
while read line
do
msmtp -t < /home/access/scripts/alert_msg.txt
done
</pre>

log_msg.txt:
<pre>
From:hackerspace_notifier@yourdomain.com
To:somebody@domain.com, somebody_else@anotherdomain.com
Subject:User at the Hacker Space
</pre>

log_alert.txt:
<pre>
From:hackerspace_notifier@yourdomain.com
To:somebody@domain.com, somebody_else@anotherdomain.com
Subject: Alert: Alarm triggered at shop

Please log in to the webcame at http://www.somedomain.com/cameras to check status.

-The Hacker Space
</pre>

start_logging.sh:
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/minicom -C /home/access/scripts/access_log.txt
</pre>

c. Secure the scripts directory: chmod -r 700 /home/access/scripts

d. Secure the USB serial port:

chown root:dialout /dev/ttyUSB0

chmod 770 /dev/ttyUSB0

ls -al /dev/ttyU*

crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 2011-09-25 16:36 /dev/ttyUSB0

Add the user "access" to the group dialout: gpasswd -a access dialout dialout:x:16:access

e. run minicom -s and configure the comm parameters. The defaults for Open Access are:

/etc/minirc.dfl:
<pre>
pr port /dev/ttyUSB0
pr lock /var/lock
pu baudrate 57600
pu minit
pu mreset
pu mdialpre
pu mdialsuf
pu mdialpre2
pu mdialsuf2
pu mdialpre3
pu mdialsuf3
pu mconnect
pu mnocon1
pu mnocon2
pu mnocon3
pu mnocon4
pu mhangup
pu mdialcan
pu rtscts No
</pre>

f. Configure iptables with some basic rules to protect the monitoring system. Tutorial here:

Iptables rules

g. Add the following file to /home/access. Modify as needed for your outgoing e-mail account.

.msmtprc
<pre>
#Gmail account
account gmail
host smtp.gmail.com
from myuser@gmail.com
auth on
tls on
tls
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
user xxxx@gmail.com
password xxxx
port 587
#tls_certcheck off

#ATT Account
account att
host smtp.att.yahoo.com
tls on
auth on
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
tls_starttls off
from xxx@att.net
user xxx@att.net
password xxxx

account default : att
</pre>
h. Add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

<pre>
/etc/sysconfig/iptables
/bin/su - access -c "/home/access/scripts/log_notify.sh &"
/bin/su - access -c "/home/access/scripts/log_alert.sh &"
/home/access/scripts/start_screen_logging.sh
</pre>

i. With the Arduino connected, reboot everything and verify that it all comes up automatically. You should be able to log in via ssh, type "screen -rd" and be connected to an interactive session on the Arduino. Please secure the ssh system with certificates and/or good passwords.

Open Access Quick Start Guide

Arclight: /* =Basic Linux Monitoring */

==Steps to Getting Up and Running==

The Open Access comes fully assembled out of the box. Here are the steps involved in getting it up and running in your environment.
 

===Powering on and connecting===

1. Unpack your Open Access Control and familiarize yourself with it. For initial programming, make sure the serial port jumpers are set to "USB" and that the "Reset Enable" jumper is closed. Details on the jumpers and hardware settings can be found here:
[[Open Access v4 Jumpers]]

2. Connect your Open Access to a 12V power supply. Any 11.5-14V power supply capable of delivering at least 500ma will work. You can cut and strip the ends of a standard consumer wall-wart supply and attach them to the 12V-IN terminals. The Open Access is protected against reverse polarity, and will not be harmed if the 12V input is reversed.

===Installing Open Access Software and Customizing===
1. Connect the Open Access to a computer using a standard USB-mini cable.

2. Download the latest Arduino environment for your OS (WIndows, OSX or Linux) from:
http://arduino.cc

3. Download the Open Access software. You can either get it here:
[[Open Access 4.0]]

4. Unzip the package and install the libraries in your sketchbook under a directory called "libraries" and place the .ino and the .h file in a sketchbook folder.

5. Open the project in the Arduino IDE, and you should now get both the .INO and the .h open in separate tabs.

You can customize values like the enable password, timeouts, etc from the user.h file.

<pre>
#define DEBUG 3 // Set to 4 for display of raw tag numbers in BIN, 3 for decimal, 2 for HEX, 1 for only denied, 0 for never.
#define VERSION 1.35
#define UBAUDRATE 9600 // Set the baud rate for the USB serial port

#define gonzo 0xFFFFFFF // Name and badge number in HEX. We are not using checksums or site ID, just the whole
#define snake 0xFFFFFFF // output string from the reader.
#define satan 0xFFFFFFF
const long superUserList[] = { gonzo, snake, satan}; // Super user table (cannot be changed by software)

#define PRIVPASSWORD 0x1234 // Console "priveleged mode" password

#define DOORDELAY 5000 // How long to open door lock once access is granted. (2500 = 2.5s)
#define SENSORTHRESHOLD 100 // Analog sensor change that will trigger an alarm (0..255)
#define KEYPADTIMEOUT 5000 // Timeout for pin pad entry. Users on keypads can enter commands after reader swipe.
#define CARDFORMAT 1 // Card format
// 0=first 25 raw bytes from card
// 1=First and second parity bits stripped (default for most systems)

</pre>

The "Superusers" are optional card values that can be hard-coded in, should you lock yourself out accidentally. They are set by default to be disabled (FFFFFFFF).

6. Compile and upload the sketch to the Open Access. Under Tools->Boards, select the "Duemillanove, 16Mhz with Atmega328P."

Note: If it fails to compile as-is, you may have an issue with the Arduino compiler. Some versions/platforms will complain about one of the libraries having an include of "WProgram.h" If that is the case, you can remove that line from the library.

===Adding users and interactive configuration===
1. Once the program is uploaded, test it out by attaching an RFID reader to the "Reader1" input and swiping a card. You should see a relay click and its LED flash to indicate an "access denied."

2. Using the Arduino terminal or your favoraite comm program, connect over USB at 9600. Once connected, hit '?' for the menu. You should see:
<pre>
0:0:0 1/1/0 SUN Access Control System rebooted.
Valid commands are:
(d)ate, (s)show user, (m)odify user <num> <usermask> <tagnumber>
(a)ll user dump,(r)emove_user <num>,(o)open door <num>
(u)nlock all doors,(l)lock all doors
(1)disarm_alarm, (2)arm_alarm,(3)train_alarm (9)show_status
(t)ime set <sec 0..59> <min 0..59> <hour 0..23> <day of week 1..7>
<day 0..31> <mon 0..12> <year 0.99>
(e)nable <password> - enable or disable priveleged mode
(h)ardware Test <iterations> - Run the hardware test
</pre>

3. Set the date/time and program a user using the menu. If you hit <d>ate again, it should show an incrementing correct time.

To obtain a tag number to program, read the serial number from the side of the card (most EM4100 tags have a serial that can directly entered) or swipe it and wait for a denied message at the terminal and then use that number. The format for entering users records is:
<pre>m 1 254 123457890</pre>

Where: 1 = user number (1..200), 254 = security level (0..254) and 123456890 is the tag ID in decimal format.

Note: You can change the tag format or customize it in the code.

===Connecting Open Access to a Server===
Open Access can be connected to any Linux, Windows or OSX server for remote control, logging and other needs.

====Raspberry Pi Instructions====
To set up the Raspberry Pi and use it's on-board serial UART via the expansion header, you'll need to modify a couple of settings in Raspian. A step-by-step is here:

2. Connect your Open Access to a 12V power supply. Any 11.5-14V power supply capable of delivering at least 500ma will work. You can cut and strip the ends of a standard consumer wall-wart supply and attach them to the 12V-IN terminals. The Open Access is protected against reverse polarity, and will not be harmed if the 12V input is reversed.

3. Connect the Open Access to a computer using a standard USB-mini cable. You
4. Download the latest Arduino environment for your OS (WIndows, OSX or Linux) from:
http://arduino.cc

5. Download the Open Access software. You can either get it here:
[[Open Access 4.0]]

6. Unzip the package and install the libraries in your sketchbook under a directory called "libraries" and place the .ino and the .h file in a sketchbook folder.

7. Open the project in the Arduino IDE, and you should now get both the .INO and the .h open in separate tabs.

You can customize values like the enable password, timeouts, etc from the user.h file.

<pre>
#define DEBUG 3 // Set to 4 for display of raw tag numbers in BIN, 3 for decimal, 2 for HEX, 1 for only denied, 0 for never.
#define VERSION 1.35
#define UBAUDRATE 9600 // Set the baud rate for the USB serial port

#define gonzo 0xFFFFFFF // Name and badge number in HEX. We are not using checksums or site ID, just the whole
#define snake 0xFFFFFFF // output string from the reader.
#define satan 0xFFFFFFF
const long superUserList[] = { gonzo, snake, satan}; // Super user table (cannot be changed by software)

#define PRIVPASSWORD 0x1234 // Console "priveleged mode" password

#define DOORDELAY 5000 // How long to open door lock once access is granted. (2500 = 2.5s)
#define SENSORTHRESHOLD 100 // Analog sensor change that will trigger an alarm (0..255)
#define KEYPADTIMEOUT 5000 // Timeout for pin pad entry. Users on keypads can enter commands after reader swipe.
#define CARDFORMAT 1 // Card format
// 0=first 25 raw bytes from card
// 1=First and second parity bits stripped (default for most systems)

</pre>

The "Superusers" are optional card values that can be hard-coded in, should you lock yourself out accidentally. They are set by default to be disabled (FFFFFFFF).

5. Compile and upload the sketch to the Open Access. Under Tools->Boards, select the "Duemillanove, 16Mhz with Atmega328P."

Note: If it fails to compile as-is, you may have an issue with the Arduino compiler. Some versions/platforms will complain about one of the libraries having an include of "WProgram.h" If that is the case, you can remove that line from the library.

6. Once the program is uploaded, test it out by attaching an RFID reader to the "Reader1" input and swiping a card. You should see a relay click and its LED flash to indicate an "access denied."

7. Using the Arduino terminal or your favoraite comm program, connect over USB at 9600. Once connected, hit '?' for the menu. You should see:
<pre>
0:0:0 1/1/0 SUN Access Control System rebooted.
Valid commands are:
(d)ate, (s)show user, (m)odify user <num> <usermask> <tagnumber>
(a)ll user dump,(r)emove_user <num>,(o)open door <num>
(u)nlock all doors,(l)lock all doors
(1)disarm_alarm, (2)arm_alarm,(3)train_alarm (9)show_status
(t)ime set <sec 0..59> <min 0..59> <hour 0..23> <day of week 1..7>
<day 0..31> <mon 0..12> <year 0.99>
(e)nable <password> - enable or disable priveleged mode
(h)ardware Test <iterations> - Run the hardware test
</pre>

8. Set the date/time and program a user using the menu. If you hit <d>ate again, it should show an incrementing correct time.

To obtain a tag number to program, read the serial number from the side of the card (most EM4100 tags have a serial that can directly entered) or swipe it and wait for a denied message at the terminal and then use that number. The format for entering users records is:
<pre>m 1 254 123457890</pre>

Where: 1 = user number (1..200), 254 = security level (0..254) and 123456890 is the tag ID in decimal format.

Note: You can change the tag format or customize it in the code.

9. To set up the Raspberry Pi and use it's on-board serial UART via the expansion header, you'll need to modify a couple of settings in Raspian. A step-by-step is here:

Arclight: /* Hardware Settings and Defaults */

==Hardware Settings and Defaults==

[[File:AC400_1024x1024_jumpers.png]]

The Open Access comes ready to run out of the box, advanced users may want to customize their hardware. The following is a list of hardware features that can be selected via jumpers.
 

===Jumper Table===
*1 USB Power - Enable this jumper to allow the board to be powerd via USB or power an attached accessory.
**Default: ON
**Recommend turning this off if you need to ensure that your external device does not remain powered by the OA's 5V USB connection.
*2 USB/RPi Selector - Determines whether the Open Access communicates via the mini-USB port or the Raspberry Pi connector
**Default: Both jumpers UP (USB)
**Set both jumpers in the pair to "USB" (top) setting to connect the serial output to the FTDI-based USB port.
**Important: Move both jumpers for proper operation. One jumper is for TX and one is for RX to the Atmgea328P.
*3 RS-485 Termination - Enables a termination resistor for end-of-bus on an RS-485 circuit
** Default: ON
** Recommendation: Leave this to ON if connecting 0-1 devices, or if it is the last unit in the circuit.
*4 Reset Enable - Can be used to disable the resetting and re-flashing of the Open Access CPU
** Default: ON (Reset enabled)
** Recommendation: Set this to OFF for increased security; setting it to OFF will prevent a reset and bootloader access. Set to OFF if a USB-attached peripheral may hard-reset and interfere with operation of the unit. Set to ON to allow programming/reset from USB.

Open Access v4 Jumpers

2014-05-11T22:01:30Z

Arclight: /* Jumper Settings */

==Hardware Settings and Defaults==

[[File:AC400_1024x1024_jumpers.png]]

The Open Access comes ready to run out of the box. Just plug the board into an 11-15VDC power source (300ma or greater, 2A if using Raspberry Pi), connect a USB cable, and you are ready to customize and program it. Advanced users may want to customize the hardware The following is a list of hardware features that can be selected via jumpers.
 

===Jumper Table===
*1 USB Power - Enable this jumper to allow the board to be powerd via USB or power an attached accessory.
**Default: ON
**Recommend turning this off if you need to ensure that your external device does not remain powered by the OA's 5V USB connection.
*2 USB/RPi Selector - Determines whether the Open Access communicates via the mini-USB port or the Raspberry Pi connector
**Default: Both jumpers UP (USB)
**Set both jumpers in the pair to "USB" (top) setting to connect the serial output to the FTDI-based USB port.
**Important: Move both jumpers for proper operation. One jumper is for TX and one is for RX to the Atmgea328P.
*3 RS-485 Termination - Enables a termination resistor for end-of-bus on an RS-485 circuit
** Default: ON
** Recommendation: Leave this to ON if connecting 0-1 devices, or if it is the last unit in the circuit.
*4 Reset Enable - Can be used to disable the resetting and re-flashing of the Open Access CPU
** Default: ON (Reset enabled)
** Recommendation: Set this to OFF for increased security; setting it to OFF will prevent a reset and bootloader access. Set to OFF if a USB-attached peripheral may hard-reset and interfere with operation of the unit. Set to ON to allow programming/reset from USB.

EM4100 Reader pinouts

Arclight:

__NOTOC__
==Reader Pinouts and specs==

Most of the Wiegand protocol readers available use similar wiring and pinouts. Here are some general and specific guidelines.

[[File:RD-150 800.jpg|''Open Access v4 hardware''|right|400px]]
====EM4100 Readers====
The EM4100 readers from ACCX Products have this pinout:

*Red = +12V Power (25-100ma)
*Black = Ground/negative power terminal
*Green = Data 0
*White = Data 1
*Blue = LED (ground this wire to change LED state)
*Yellow = Beeper (ground to to turn on)
*Grey = Wiegand26 or Wiegand34 support. Grounding this selects 26-bit output.

The Open Access Mega and v4 boards have all of these labelled on the header. There are (2) outputs for led and buzzer lines, which can all be addressed via the software.

===Wiring Tips===
*Use 20-26ga alarm wire for easiest wiring. CAT5 also works, but the colors are different.
*Telco splices (aka "Jelly Snappers") or quick-release connectors make connections easy.
*The reader dimentions for our readers are 86x86mm and they are waterproof.

====Card Format====
The ACCX-supplied readers and cards use a Wiegand-26 format.

Card format: 26-bit (8-bit facility code, 16-bit user ID, two parity bits)

P DDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD P

====Electrical signalling:====
A ‘0’ and a ‘1’ line are held at +5V relative to ground. When data is transmitted, the lines are sent low for a period of between 35-500uS (measured) with a pause between bits of approximately 10X the pulse width. Reader lines can be up to 500’ from the panel.

====Initial Testing====
For tips on initial testing, see the testing page:

*Yellow = Beeper (ground to to turn on)
*Grey = Wiegand26 or Wiegand34 support. Grounding this selects 26-bit output.

The Open Access Mega and v4 boards have all of these labelled on the header. There are (2) outputs for led and buzzer lines, which can all be addressed via the software.

===Wiring Tips===
*Use 20-26ga alarm wire for easiest wiring. CAT5 also works, but the colors are different.
*Telco splices (aka "Jelly Snappers") or quick-release connectors make connections easy.
*The reader dimentions for our readers are 86x86mm and they are waterproof.

====Card Format====
The ACCX-supplied readers and cards use a Wiegand-26 format.

Card format: 26-bit (8-bit facility code, 16-bit user ID, two parity bits)

====Electrical signalling:====
A ‘0’ and a ‘1’ line are held at +5V relative to ground. When data is transmitted, the lines are sent low for a period of between 35-500uS (measured) with a pause between bits of approximately 10X the pulse width. Reader lines can be up to 500’ from the panel.

====Initial Testing====

==Reader Pinouts and specs==

Most of the Wiegand protocol readers available use similar wiring and pinouts. Here are some general and specific guidelines.

====EM4100 Readers====
The EM4100 readers we sell have this pinout:

*Red = +12V Power (25-100ma)
*Black = Ground/negative power terminal
*Green = Data 0
*White = Data 1
*Blue = LED (ground this wire to change LED state)
*Yellow = Beeper (ground to to turn on)
*Grey = Wiegand26 or Wiegand34 support. Grounding this selects 26-bit output.

The Open Access Mega board has all of these labelled on the header. There are (3) outputs for red led, green led and buzzer lines, which can all be addressed via the software. The last pin is can be attached to the cable shield if shielded wire is used.

====Card Format====
The ACCX-supplied readers and cards use a Wiegand-26 format.

Card format: 26-bit (8-bit facility code, 16-bit user ID, two parity bits)
