Multi-Family Management System

Installation Guide NTX700 Controller-Updater

1. Introduction

Used together in a one-to-one relationship, the controller and the credential updater are referred to as the Online Updater. The online updater can operate both as a credential enrollment station and as a single door controller to operate an electrified strike, magnetic lock, gate operator, and more.

The ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA™ Multi-Family Solution requires at least one Online Updater to serve several functions within the ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA Ecosystem:

• Activates new physical credentials (cards, fobs, vehicle credentials) for residents, guests, and staff
• Transmits current access rights to physical credentials at time of presentation
• Ensures physical credentials are continuously updated through typical daily use
• Reads credential access permissions to grant or deny access to online opening
• Reads audit information including access history, lock battery status, and other lock events from the physical credential and transmits to the Multi-Family Management System cloud service

The ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA Multi-Family Online Updater consists of two major components:

• 1. Door Controller (NTX700-CTLR)
• 2. Credential Updater for NTX600 series (one of the following):
  • Credential updater (mini-mullion with pig tail)
  • Credential updater (mini-mullion with terminal strip)
  • Credential updater (wall switch with pig tail)
  • Credential updater (wall switch with terminal strip)

for NTX900 series (one of the following):

• Credential reader (small parking reader)
• Credential reader (large parking reader)

The purpose of this guide is to provide step-by-step instruction for the firsttime installation and use of the online updater/reader. Also noted are technical specifications for both the controller and the updaters/readers as well as LED behavior and typical wiring diagrams.

Things to Consider:

• The recommended wire type for connection between controller and updater/ reader is 24 AWG four-conductor shielded twisted-pair wire, low capacitance 120 Ω characteristic impedance cable type that conforms to EIA RS-485 standard (Belden 3107A or equivalent). Utilize one pair for data and one pair for power.
• The maximum cable length between updater and controller is 1600 feet. For OSDP cable lengths greater than 200 ft (61m) or EMF interference, install 120 Ω resistor across both RS-485 termination ends.
• Use proper cable shield grounding techniques.
• Existing Wiegand wiring may be reused for OSDP. However, standard Wiegand cable may not meet RS-485 twisted pair recommendations. The reuse of cable works best on shorter cable lengths.
• DO NOT install the updater on metal surfaces without appropriate spacer (sold separately, see price book).
• For weather exposed installations, please install with IP65 gasket accessory appropriate for your size updater (sold separately) (NTX600 series).
• An external power supply is required. Please review total power requirements for controller and updaters/readers in Section 5. This does not include power requirements for locks or strikes.

Firewall Settings:

The controller establishes connections to the ACCENTRA cloud using the HTTPS and MQTT protocol on port 443. It also synchronizes time via NTP by establishing connections on port 123. It looks up domain names using DNS on port 53. These outgoing connections need to be accepted for normal operation. During first boot, a controller will, in addition to above, also make an outbound connection using the HTTP protocol, port 80.

Port Protocol	Domains to Whitelist
80 HTTP	app.accentra-assaabloy.com yale.accentra.assaabloy.com
443 HTTPS & MQTT	app.accentra-assaabloy.com yale.accentra.assaabloy.com AND rocketfw.s3-eu-west 1.amazonaws.com AND a2118gv0vua4gp.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

If a trigger/vehicle sensor device is being used, change the Operation mode from Continuous to Trigger. Note that in most cases this will only be used when a sensor is in use

Then set the contacts to NC. The contact needs to close for the trigger to function.

Set the Trigger Timeout time (in milliseconds) to set how long the reader is active when triggered.

Set the Reader interval for same tag (in milliseconds) to a time that prevents the same credential from being read too frequently (anti-tailgating).

Set the Read interval for different tags (in milliseconds) to a time before the reader can read a different tag.

General Controller Settings

Example Connection of Electric Lock via Relay:

DIP Switch Configuration:

· All switches come factory defaulted to OFF

DIP Switch	Setting
1 - 4	n/a Should be OFF

USB Connector:

The controller offers a direct terminal interface by connecting a computer to the USB micro port. The computer will see the port as a virtual serial device that can be connected to any terminal program. Examples include minicom or screen on a *NIX OS or Putty on Windows. Once connected, a terminal, directly interfacing the controller's OS, will be presented.

Status LEDs:

LEDs as shown to the most right in the figure indicate normal system activity. They have the following functions:

Label	Function
ONLINE	Flashes in normal operation
IO INTERNAL	Flashes in normal operation
ETHERNET	Network activity

Not Shorted

Shorted

Request to Exit (REX):

• IN 2 + / IN 2 -
• Shorted = REX

When the door/DPS is opened with the REX in a Non-Shorted state, a DOOR FORCED OPEN notification is sent. If the REX is Shorted prior to the door/DPS opening, then a DOOR OPEN MANUALLY notification is sent.

Door Position Sensor (DPS):

• IN 1 + / IN 1 -
• Shorted = Door Closed
• Not Shorted = Door Open

DPS function must be activated (once) after a controller configuration for the function to report DOOR OPEN or CLOSED state. To activate the DPS function, connect DPS and have door in a closed state. If the door stays open for the defined Door Held time (default = 30 seconds), a DOOR HELD notification is sent. The Door Held time is configurable.

Remote Unlock:

• AC FAIL +/ AC FAIL - This is being repurposed as remote unlock input to the controller.

A momentary Normally Open (NO) switch can be connected to the I/O Connector. When pressed, the relay Shorts to activate a single time to unlock the door. The Default Relock time is 5 seconds. Holding the switch will not continue to keep the door in an unlocked state. The Default Relock time is not configurable.
