Converter and Controller definition:
Converters: A convertor is a device that allow connection to software locally through software or through the cloud. Depending on site requirements a convertor may be connected via an RS485 to network, through WIFI or 4G router.
Convertor controllers: Converter controllers like the ILZ5RWEB (LAN,WIFI or 4G) or ILMATRIX II WIFI (Converter/controller/reader) connect to software or the cloud and directly to locks, gates, relays, lighting, inputs, output or alarms .
Controllers: Controllers are the physical interface from reader to locks, gates, relays, lighting, inputs, output or alarms.
Device Types:
Converter Controllers | ILZ5RWEB WIFI 4G LAN | Controller | ILGuardNET RS485 Controller |

Functions of this page:
OPEN DOORS: allows you open the entry or exit door.
STATE: indicates the controller’s status which can be:
NORMAL indicates the door state is in it’s default state ready for card or remote access.
BLOCKED: indicates the doors have been locked down, either by lockdown button on the main menu header, indicated by the flashing lock , or by input depending on your device or a scheduled state.
The Open padlock on the controller indicates the controller’s door is open.
This may be an input on the board or a logic output to hold the door open.
Other functions:
SERIAL NUMBER: Indicates the Controller serial number and firmware version.
CREDENTIALS: Indicates the number of Cards, Keys, Remotes or PIN codes in the controller.
OPTIONS:
Provides access to controller settings, output times etc.
Provides instant access to events for selected controller.
Re-syncronises the controller users and settings.
WARNING: This deletes the controller from the sites:
To prevent accidental deletion this can only be accomplished when the controller is off line i.e. you
must turn the controller off or disconnect it from the network.
Controller settings and Auto Door Opening
Auto door open schedule:
This feature allows you to set a door to automatically Open and remain open for the set time on selected days.
In this example the door strike for the door is energised on Saturday and Sunday from 7am to 12noon and from Monday to Friday from 7am until 6pm.
The open padlock indicates door open
Outputs modes:
Normal: means the door will respond to cards/keys/pins or remotes according their allocated schedule.
Block: changes the the door status to allow only cards with blocked access to enter. This mode is selected in the credential parameters when adding or editting the card.
Hold Open: Holds the door in an open state from the time a authourised used presents a hold open card. This function is used to open the the door until the hold open card is presented again effectively togglling the door open, for example if a business wants the manager’s card to open the business’ door open when they open the door at the start of the day with their hold open card. The door will remain open until the card is presented again at close of business.

Setting Up A Site
Sites: A site is the foundation of the access control system, whether one device or many, one location or many all devices must be added to a site. The site must contain at least one converter or converter/ controller: the controller allows access to all doors gates, entries and devices belonging to the site.
Example:
This site called Home has two controllers 50361 GATE CONTROLLER and 41150 FRONT DOOR, we can see the controller types in Device Manager, these controllers are both Converter Controllers.
Adding a New Site:
Select sites from the Management drop down tab.
Click on to add a new site or Site Search to add a new sub site to an existing site.
Add the site name in the Details tab followed by enter your site name and any comments regarding the site along with the site colour.
The site colour will appear as a rondel next to the users image in the Staff/User list as well as in the STAFF/USER SITE which indicates the last site used by the user.
In this example John Smith’s last known location was Home as indicated by the red rondel and the Red Home location USER/Site location text on the User/Staff listing.
NB: Site Rate is a Time and Attendance function discussed in the Time and Attendance section of the manual.
Master Site and Slave sites: When creating sites it is important to understand the relationship between Master and Slave sites, the master site groups shares its time zones and access levels with any “slave” controllers for the site. For example if a company has 4 common entries, carpark entry and exit, a front door and back door as well as sub entries, groups or department like Engineering and Manufacturing, the Master controllers will be, front door and back door as well as carpark entry and exit; when you create other groups within the site they are allocated the Master site and then their specific area or slave site.
Slave site or Department:
When creating slave site or department select Add New Site and then select Master Site in the drop down menu, the new site or department will also have access to access of the Master site in this example the Engineering department will have authorized access to Front Door, Back Door, Garage Entry and Exit from the master site.
Press Next to Save and continue.
Select the controller you want the allocate to the site in this example a Z5R-Net 2227.
Click Next when you have finished adding controllers.
Site Timezones:
Site Timezones determine when a controller may be activated by Staff/Users at a door or device. There are several Timezone with the controllers data base which can be allocated to different groups. Whilst all users may have their own custom timezone or schedule it is best to standardised for bulk allocation of access.
When you have finished allocating days and timezone to the controller press save to continue.
GROUPS
A group is a collection of people who share the same or similar access levels, in the example we have used above we have specific Slave Controllers for Engineering and Manufacturing whilst they sharing common (the master site) entries as well as General Staff and Managers.
Adding a new Group:
Select Groups from the Management dropdown menu, the select Add a Group. .
Name the group and add any comments about the group (in this example I have added a note that this Group is intended just for contractors), and then press Next.
Time and attendance (reporting)
Time and Attendance reporting is related specifically to taking staff movement within specific work times. This report directly relates to the Discipline report in the report menu.
Example: In the example here we have made a group specifically for contract who work between 7am and 6pm. If we wish to ensure that these contractors have a steady work pattern, arriving on-time and leaving on-time we select the time as listed and then refer to the discipline report to ensure contractor are at work arriving on-time, leaving on-time, and logging off.
For this group we have selected a Start time of 7am and finish time of 6pm, this is for REPORTING ONLY this is not time zone for this group.
See notes below for Discipline reporting.
Once you have selected your Start times and Finish times for your reporting (if used).
Press Next to save and continue.
NOTE: Discipline reporting.
In this example USER 1 arrived on time before 7am on Day 1,2,3,5,7,8 and 9 but left before the finish time on all days except the 4th when they did not work. USER 2 only worked on 7th but arrived late and left early. USER 3 arrived on time on day 1,2,5,6,8 and 9, arrived on time on day 3 but did not log out and did not work on the 4th and 7th day.
Allocating a Site:
Once you have attributed start and stop reporting times for the Group allocated the areas where they have access.
This will allow the Engineering staff to enter the Company's site site which includes the Front Door, Garage Entry and Exit and the Back Door.
The Engineering group in this case will then have to be granted access to the Engineering area. In the example we are using the New Group Engineering will have the option of allocating access time of Always, Never or On Schedule (in this case 07:00 to 17:59) and Mon to Fri and (07:00 to 11:59) Sat and Sun (see below).
Note: Engineering have no access to Unit 2 or Manufacturing.
Once you have finished have finished adding your groups they should appear in the Manage Groups menu.
