The Axis product, whether it is a standalone door controller or a system of door controllers, shall
not limit or weaken the intended use of the devices connected to it.
The Axis product should be installed on a wall (preferred) or a ceiling, with or without a junction
box. It can also be installed on a DIN rail.
Configure the Hardware
Configure the hardware in the Hardware Configuration pages before installing the product.
Doors, locks and other devices can be connected to the Axis product before completing the
hardware configuration. However, the connection of devices will be easier if you complete the
hardware configuration first. This is because the hardware pin chart will be available when the
configuration is complete. The hardware pin chart is a guide on how to connect the pins and can be
used as a reference sheet for maintenance. For maintenance instructions, see page 40.
To configure the hardware, select one of the following methods:
•
Import a hardware configuration file. See page 27.
•
Create a new hardware configuration. See page 27.
Import a Hardware Configuration File
The hardware configuration of the Axis product can be completed faster by importing a hardware
configuration file.
For information about exporting hardware configuration files, see the User Manual.
To import a hardware configuration file:
1. Go to Setup > Hardware Configuration.
2. Click Import hardware configuration or, if there a hardware configuration already exists,
Reset and import hardware configuration.
3. In the file browser dialog that appears, locate and select the hardware configuration file
(*.json) on your computer.
4. Click OK.
Create a New Hardware Configuration
To create a new hardware configuration from the beginning:
1. If required, remove the cover screw, insert a slotted screwdriver into the cover removal
slot and remove the cover.
2. Connect the Axis product to the network and wait until the network connection has
been established and the product has powered up. If the product is not powered through
Power over Ethernet but will use Ethernet and external power instead, also connect the
AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller
