  • Provide the IP address for the Axis Controller, if using another port other than the default port 80, please enter that here as well. 
  • For the Username and Passwords field, the Username can be root or can be user defined. The user profile will need administrator access to push panel configurations. 
  • The Make and Model drop downs will be dependent on the hardware used. (By selecting the Axis - A1601 an additional menu for Device Configuration is exposed. 
  • If using the AH30 8:1 Aperio hub the Device Protocol to select will be OSDP, if also using a reader on reader port one for a directly connected door this drop down can be switched to Wiegand, for example of using a Wiegand reader. Either config will still work for the Aperio Integration. 
  • For Device configuration select 'Single 1 Reader Door with Aperio'
  • Click Create Device

  • Once Saved, the Edit Device page is automatically opened for the newly created Axis Device.
  • By Default, once the A1601 is created, it creates a standard door for Reader Port 1.
