      Door Controller Setup
      Description
      This article will go over the basics of setting up Users and Access Rights for the Four Door Controller

      There's two steps involved in the this process

      Creating a User
      Creating Door Lists to grant access to the users
      In this example we used the DHI-ASC1204B four door controller with four of our Dahua card readers, and a generic Mifare 13.56MHz key fob

      Prerequisites
      DHI-ASC1204B or DHI-ASC1204C
      Card Readers
      SmartPSS v2.02
      Mifare IC Cards 13.56MHz
      Step by Step Instructions
      Step One: Adding the Four Door Controller to SmartPSS and Creating a User
      We need to add the Controller to SmartPSS so open SmartPSS and click on "Add"

      By default the controller will have an IP Address of 192.168.0.2, username:admin, password:123456. We changed the default with Configtool to get it on the network
