5 Installation System overview AXIS A1001 XProtect Access Control Module plug-in is an XProtect Event Server plug-in for the XProtect VMS that handles communication with an AXIS A1001 access control solution based on the AXIS Entry Manager. Configuration of the access control system itself is done via the web-based software on the AXIS A1001 while Management Application or Management Client handles configuration of the integration to the XProtect VMS. Once installed and configured, XProtect Smart Client provides built in access control functionality. Install the plug-in To start the installation wizard for the XProtect Event Server plug-in: 1. Run the MilestoneXProtectAccessControlModule_AXISA1001PluginInstaller.exe file on the computer that hosts the XProtect Event Server service. The installer automatically detects the location of the XProtect Event Server and deploys relevant files into a subfolder on the XProtect Event Server. 2. Restart XProtect Event Server. 5 Installation

6 The installer provides an option to restart automatically when installation completes. Alternatively restart the XProtect Event Server at a later time from the XProtect Management Application. 6 Installation

7 Configuration and Maintenance First time configuration After installing the XProtect Event Server plug-in, set up an integration to the AXIS A1001 system. 1. Open the Management Application or Management Client. 2. Right-click the Access Control node to create a new integration. This example is from the Management Application. 3. In the new dialog box, select the AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller integration plug-in. 4. Fill out relevant fields to connect to the AXIS A1001 system and click Next. Name Name Address Port Description Display name of the access control system within the XProtect VMS. Network address to the AXIS A1001 system. In a system with multiple connected AXIS A1001 controllers an arbitrary controller may be selected to represent the system. Network port for the AXIS A1001 system. 7 Configuration and Maintenance

8 User name/password Account user name and password used when communicating with the AXIS A1001 controller. In a system with multiple connected AXIS A1001 controllers the same user name and password will be used for all controllers in the system. The XProtect Event Server contacts the AXIS A1001 control system to retrieve the list of doors and other entities. The Management Application or Management Client shows a list of the configuration items that were retrieved from the access control system. 1. Map cameras in the XProtect VMS to access points of the doors in the access control system. This step is optional during initial configuration as mappings may be changed at any time. See the XProtect Administrator's manuals for more information. When initial configuration is complete, the plug-in is activated in the XProtect Event Server, and XProtect Access Control Module functionality is enabled in the XProtect VMS. 2. Configure doors, users, access rights, schedules, etc. via the AXIS Entry Manager by using the built-in software on the AXIS A1001. See for more information. Advanced configuration After initial configuration, you have several options to refine the operation of the access control system integration. This includes selecting and categorizing events retrieved from the access control system, changing mapping of cameras to access points and configuring actions associated with access control system events. See the XProtect Administrator's manuals for more information. 8 Configuration and Maintenance

9 Update configuration If changes are made to the access control system, such as adding, removing or renaming doors, you must update the configuration of the integration. 1. Edit the properties of the access control system integration that appears as a node below Access Control in the Management Application or Management Client. 2. In the General settings tab, click Refresh Configuration. The XProtect Event Server plug-in retrieves added, changed or removed items from the access control system. 3. Verify that the detected changes are correct and apply them to the running access control system integration. Remove AXIS A1001 XProtect Access Control Module plug-in To remove the AXIS A1001 XProtect Access Control Module plug-in: 1. Delete all AXIS A1001 plug-in integrations in the Management Application or Management Client if they are not used anymore. 2.

10 Licensing You can view license information of XProtect Access Control Module in the MIP Plug-ins section of the Management Application or in the license overview page of the Management Client. License information on individual doors is listed in the Associated Cameras tab of the Access Control system integration properties. On XProtect Enterprise, XProtect Professional and XProtect Express, the XProtect Access Control Module offers a 30-day trial license for up to four doors.
