How do I change Wiegand Output Mode on Amano readers?

How do I change Wiegand Output Mode on Amano readers?

Let’s start by saying that the default Mode 2 option on the reader is typically going to work on most installations.  If you are using any Amano credentials (tags, fobs, quad transmitters, etc.), or are using popular third party credentials, you will likely not need to change anything on the reader output.  That being said, you may find yourself needing to allow the parity bits to be sent through to the terminal or module from our reader.  Or maybe you want to limit the amount of bits sent to 26.  In those cases, you may need to change the output mode.

Amano Wiegand Readers offer four different Output Mode choices:

  • Mode 1 (1 Beep): 26-bit, HID Normal
  • Mode 2 (2 Beeps):    44-bit, HID Normal (Default)
  • Mode 3 (3 Beeps):    26-bit, HID Raw
  • Mode 4 (4 Beeps):    44-bit, HID Raw

Setting the Wiegand Mode

The Output Mode can be selected by doing the following:

  1. Remove the Backing Plate from the Wiegand Reader.
  2. Short circuit Pin 4 and Pin 5 (as shown in Figure 6) using the 2-Way Programming Pin supplied with the reader.
  3. Power up the Unit.
  4. Remove the 2-Way Programming Pin after hearing the number of beeps corresponding with the required mode (Refer to page 10 of the manual or the above table for Wiegand Output Modes available)
  5. Replace the Backing Plate.

NOTE: The number of beeps on power-up indicates the selected Output Mode.

How do I factory reset the EC2 (400i) controller?

How do I factory reset the EC2 (400i) controller?

Caution!

The following procedure will reset an EC2 (400i) controller to its factory default settings.  This includes the IP address and typically the firmware version shipped with the unit.  If you assign an invalid IP address to the AXP400i Controller, you may not be able to communicate with the unit.  If you have upgraded the controller’s firmware since installation, ensure that you check the version before and upgrade again immediately after this procedure is complete and upgrade as necessary.  

Restore the Controller’s factory default settings as follows:

  1. Remove the lid of the controller by removing the six screws securing it to the base.
  2. With power applied to the AXP400i Controller, place a link across the pins of the Factory Default Jumper Link (LK4). (See the image below for board layout)  
  3. Observe the Ethernet and CPU Diagnostic LEDs as they switch OFF then ON signaling that restoration has taken place.  To ensure the factory default has been applied, please leave the jumper in place for 60 seconds or longer.
  4. Remove the jumper.

The network parameters will now be reset to the following:

IP Address: 192.168.100.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

DHCP will be ON

*If you have upgraded the Controller’s firmware since initial installation, you may have to upgrade again immediately after this procedure is complete.  The silver sticker on the EC2 (400i) controller unit should reflect the shipped firmware version.

Factory Reset legacy Amano IP Cameras (sold prior to 2018)

Factory Reset legacy Amano IP Cameras (sold prior to 2018)

Resetting a camera back to the factory default will initialize all settings and parameters including the IP address back to the factory defaults.  You may find the default IP by looking at the last four characters of the MAC address.  

NOTE: this article only applies to legacy cameras sold prior to 2018.

To revert the camera back to its factory defaults:

  1. Remove the dome lid.
  2. Press and hold the white reset button while powering up the unit, release the button after 10 seconds.
  3. Wait for the camera to reboot.

The factory default details below include an IP that is determined by last four characters of the MAC.  Each of the last two octets are equivalent to their HEX to Decimal conversion.

IP Format:

192.168.yy.zz

MAC xx:xx:xx:xx:yy:zz

Example:

11:22:33:44:AB:CD

AB HEX = 171 DEC

CD HEX = 205 DEC

Therefore, default Camera IP with a MAC ending in AB:CD would be 192.168.171.205.

NOTE: Hex to Decimal calculators are built into most phones and computers, however, you can use a website like calculator.net.  

Defaults:

IP address: 192.168.xx.yy

Network mask: 255.255.0.0

Gateway: 192.168.0.1

User ID: root

Password: pass
