Aperio IP Hub Integration with Azure Controllers

This article will guide you to configuring the Access Control software to connect to Aperio Hubs and Locks with Azure Controllers

Prerequisites

  • Security Management Software version 12.0.x or higher

  • Aperio AH-40 IP Hub for downstream network communication to Azure controllers

    • Note: AH-20 and AH-30 hubs are not supported

  • Azure IC2/IC4 intelligent controllers

  • Supports Assa Abloy IN100 Wireless Locks with Aperio Technology

    • Recommended: no more than 16 locks per hub for optimal performance

  • Supported Reader Modes:

    • Card / PIN

    • Card only

    • PIN only

  • Remote Lockdown supported (from Alarm Monitoring)


Procedures

  1. Check to see that the Azure panel has an Aperio License. Menu → About. It will show in the "Features" section.

  2. Program the Aperio Hub following the official installation manual.

  3. Ensure that the IP address for the ACU settings is for the IC2/IC4. ACU port is still 9999.

  4. Program the IN100 locks to communicate with the Aperio Hub.

  5. In the Security Management Software, navigate to Hardware Manager.

  6. Add the IMRON Access Control driver and confirm it is running.

  7. Add the Azure controller (IC2 or IC4) that will manage the Aperio Hub.

  8. Under the IC2 or IC4 controller, add the Aperio Hub as a sub-controller.

  9. Click on the Aperio hub. In the Properties tab of the sub-controller, fill in the MAC ID. The MAC ID corresponds to the R MAC located on the stick on the underside of the AH40 near the RJ45.

  10. For the Aperio Locks, this is a semi-colon separated list for the locks that are connected to the hub. This value corresponds to the Lock/Sensor column in the Aperio Programming Application. For example : 01EE00;010203;040506

  11. Push 'Hardware' download to the IC2/IC4 controller.

  12. Once the IC2 or IC4 controller is online, the system will automatically display all connected locks under the Aperio Hub sub-controller.

NOTE : Removing a lock from the Aperio Locks in the sub-controller will automatically remove the device from the hardware tree.
