About door templates

A door template defines the wiring for a specific door configuration, and simplifies the door-creation process by eliminating the need to manually map the physical wiring for a door entity.

In cases where there are several similar doors to configure, using the template while creating each door can save considerable time.

Included templates

The Config Tool door creation wizard includes templates for many popular integrations. For example, if you select VertX - V100 as your interface, you will have options for Card In, Card Out or Card In, REX out configurations. Selecting the Card in, Card Out template automatically defines the following hardware mapping:

Door side In reader: Reader 1
Door side Out reader: Reader 2
Door lock: Reader 1 - Output DoorStrikeRelay
Door sensor: Reader 1 - Input DoorSwitch

Selecting Card In, REX out for the same configuration results in the following mapping:

Door side In reader: Reader 1
Door side Out Request to exit: Reader 1 - Input RexSwitch
Door lock: Reader 1 - Output DoorStrikeRelay
Door sensor: Reader 1 - Input DoorSwitch

If there is no door template in Config Tool for the configuration you want, you can create custom templates using the Security Center SDK.
