Rosslare 825-IP and QxControl QuickStart Guide

Version: 3.0 | Created: May 20, 2026

This guide covers preparing QxControl, then adding and configuring a Rosslare AC-825IP controller with its doors.

QxControl Prerequisites

1. Places

Set your Scope

  1. Navigate to Places on the left-hand menu at https://app.qumulex.io.
  2. Highlight the appropriate Customer Place.
  3. Select the Actions menu and then Set Scope. This makes sure all of your work stays in this location.

Set your Timezone

  • From Places, click each Customer and Site in your scope. If the timezone is incorrect, click Edit and correct it.

Create "From" and "To" Areas

Areas represent the physical spaces at the site. Swiping at a door and opening it moves a person from one Area to another. Create at least two Areas under your Site, for example "Outside" and "Inside". You can add to or change these later.

  1. Click the Site name in the Places tree (the icon is green or red).
  2. Click Create Place and type Outside for the name.
  3. Click Create Place to save it.
  4. Select the Site again and repeat, typing Inside for the name.

2. Groups and Permissions

You need at least one Group and one Permission to configure doors. If you don't have them yet, create a basic placeholder so you can finish setup:

  1. Browse to Groups from the left-hand menu.
    • Click Create Group.
    • Give the Group a name (a generic name is fine).
    • Select the Site from the Place dropdown and click Create Group.
  2. Browse to Permissions from the left-hand menu.
    • Click Create Permission.
    • Choose the Site from the Place dropdown.
    • Choose the new Group from the dropdown.
    • Choose the Always schedule.

For more complex Groups and Permissions, see Using Groups.

3. Networking

  • Qumulex Gateways have two network ports. Most commonly, the WAN connects to the internet using DHCP, and the LAN connects to the security device network (usually a static IP). See Gateway IP Settings if you need to configure this. You can also use only the WAN port if you choose.
  • Connect the Rosslare 825-IP panel to the same switch and network as the Qumulex Gateway, on either the LAN or WAN side depending on your setup.

Once this is complete, you're ready to add the Rosslare 825-IP to QxControl.

Rosslare 825-IP Configuration

  1. Browse to the Gateways page.
  2. Select the Gateway the Rosslare 825 is connected to.
  3. Select Discover Devices.
  4. Click the Actions button and choose Rosslare Scan.
  5. Your Rosslare 825 should appear in the list if networking is configured correctly.
  6. Verify the firmware is AC825V05_00_03 or newer.
  7. Check the Rosslare 825 and click Select Devices in the upper right corner.
  8. Click the Needs Config text on the right side of the screen.
    • Enter the Device name, and a description if desired.
    • Type in the IP address you want the 825 set to.
      Important! This sets a static IP exactly as typed. Be sure the address is correct and not already in use.
    • Click OK.
  9. Click Add Devices at the top right.
  10. Browse to the Devices page on the left-hand menu and click the Rosslare 825 you just added.
  11. Select the Edit Device tab at the top.
    • Choose the Device Protocol: Standard (Wiegand) or OSDP, depending on the cards and readers in use.
    • Choose the Device Configuration: 1 Reader Per Door or 2 Readers Per Door.
      Note: The Device Configuration can't be changed later without reconfiguring the doors, so make sure you choose the right one.
    • Click Save Device.
    • Wait at least 60 seconds while the Device populates its information. It automatically adds a template for your doors, which you'll fill in next. Let this complete.
  12. Click the Edit Device tab again. You should now see a number of Doors (likely highlighted red) below the main device configuration.
  13. Click the first door to open its configuration screen.
    • Rename the door to something meaningful.
    • Choose an Unlock Schedule (this can be changed later). Most often this is Never for a door that stays secure 24/7.
    • Select a From (ex. "Outside") and a To (ex. "Inside") for this door.
    • Configure your Reader: name it if desired; choose the Access type (Card and PIN is the default); select the Primary Card Format (usually 26-bit H10301 for standard low-frequency cards); optionally choose a Secondary Card Format if the site uses more than one type of card.
    • Configure your REX: name it if desired; select the Place this REX grants access to; choose the Default State (normally open or normally closed).
    • Configure your Lock: name it if desired, and pick the Lock Mode (see the Lock Relay Mode Reference below).
  14. Click Next at the top left and repeat for each door.
    Note: Every door must be configured, even if you don't plan to use it yet. Fill in at least the required fields marked with a red asterisk.
  15. When finished, click the green checkmark at the top left, next to the Next button.
  16. Scroll down and click the green Save Device button at the bottom left.
  17. Your Device should now show an orange exclamation mark in its status at the top right.
  18. Click Config and then Update.
  19. Watch the Panel State indicator in the upper right turn green when configuration is complete.

Lock Relay Mode Reference

Choose the lock mode based on how the lock is wired:

Lock Type Relay Setting Behavior
Normally Closed Relay Open = Unlocked Circuit opens to unlock
Normally Open Relay Closed = Unlocked Circuit closes to unlock

Configuration Notes

  • Card Formats: 26-bit (H10301) is the standard for low-frequency cards. Use the Secondary Card Format to add other formats if the site uses other card types.
  • Door Contact Settings: Select "Normally Open" if the door sensor is open when the door is secure (most common), or "Normally Closed" if the opposite applies.
  • OSDP Defaults: Doors 5–6 use OSDP with addresses 13 and 14 respectively, and a default baud rate of 9600.
  • Firmware: Qumulex supports firmware AC825V05_00_03 or newer. If the Version field is blank during discovery, the controller is running unsupported firmware and must be upgraded first.
  • Access Time: Defaults to 10 seconds. Adjust it in the door editor to change how long the lock stays unlocked after a valid swipe or command.

Verifying Your Configuration

  1. The Rosslare device should show green and Connected on the Devices page.
  2. Test each door:
    • Select Doors from the left-hand menu.
    • Click the door you want to test.
    • Click the red Unlock button. The door should unlock temporarily.
    • Swipe a badge on that door's reader. The badge number should appear in Recent Events, matching the site code and card number of the badge.
    • Repeat for each wired door.
