Adding and Configuring an Azure Controller
Considerations Before Setup
Web Client software version 10.33.99 or newer is required.
The Azure controller must be pre-configured.
The Azure Driver must already be added in Hardware Manager.
The Azure controller must be accessible from the server via port 443.
Steps to Add an Azure Controller
Log in to the Web Client, go to Configuration > Hardware Manager.
Select the Azure Driver (“Access Control Driver”) and click the Address Command button.
From the dropdown menu, select Add Controller.
In the Add Controller to Driver X window, enter the following:
Controller Group: Choose the group (default is Controller Group 1).
Controller Type: Select Azure controller model (IC2 or IC4).
Controller Address: Auto-selected to the next available address (can be changed if needed).
Description: Enter a meaningful name (e.g., Main Entrance, Server Room).
Click Add Controller. The window will close automatically.
Configure Controller Properties
Select the newly added controller and click Controller Properties.
In the properties window, configure the following:
Description: Enter a controller description (e.g., Main Entrance).
Poll: Enabled by default. Uncheck if the controller will remain offline.
Channel Port: Default is 443.
IP Address: Enter the controller’s IP address.
Door Setup: Default is Two Doors. Select One Door if applicable.
MAC Address: Do not enter manually — this will auto-populate when the controller comes online.
Time Zone: Select the time zone for the controller’s location.
Click Save. The window will close automatically.
Final Steps
The Controller Status Screen should now show ONLINE.
The date/time may appear incorrect until a hardware download is sent to the controller.
The controller is now ready for further setup, such as:
Renaming devices, like Reader, Door Contacts, Door Strikes etc.
Setting time schedules
Defining access levels
Adding card formats
