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
