2 Introduction
2.1 Overview
The Access Control Extension Module can work with the access control terminal or door station.
The Extension Module communicates with the access control terminal or door station through
RS-485 BUS, and connects with door detector, exit button, card reader and lock. The Extension
Module transmits card information, door open information and alarms to the access control
terminal or door station, improving the access control security.

4 FAQ
1. The door cannot open when I swipe card.
● Check the card information on the management platform. Your card might be expired or not
authorized, or card swiping is only allowed in the defined time schedules.
● The card is damaged.
● The Extension Module is not properly connected to the card reader.
● The door detector of the device is damaged.
2. The Extension Module cannot work properly after networking.
Check whether the security module function is enabled on the webpage of the access control
terminal, or check whether the second lock function is enabled on the webpage of the door
station.
3. The door cannot open by the exit button.
Check whether the exit button and the Extension Module are well connected.
4. The lock remains open for a long time after the door opens.
● Check whether the door is closed.
● Check whether the door detector is well connected. If there is no door detector, check
whether the door detector function is turned on.
5. There are other problems that remain unsolved.
Ask the technical support for help.

Appendix 1 Security Recommendation
Account Management
1. Use complex passwords
Please refer to the following suggestions to set passwords:
● The length should not be less than 8 characters;
● Include at least two types of characters: upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols;
● Do not contain the account name or the account name in reverse order;
● Do not use continuous characters, such as 123, abc, etc.;
● Do not use repeating characters, such as 111, aaa, etc.
2. Change passwords periodically
It is recommended to periodically change the device password to reduce the risk of being
guessed or cracked.
3. Allocate accounts and permissions appropriately
Appropriately add users based on service and management requirements and assign minimum
permission sets to users.
4. Enable account lockout function
The account lockout function is enabled by default. You are advised to keep it enabled to
protect account security. After multiple failed password attempts, the corresponding account
and source IP address will be locked.
5. Set and update password reset information in a timely manner
The device supports password reset function. To reduce the risk of this function being used by
threat actors, if there is any change in the information, please modify it in time. When setting
security questions, it is recommended not to use easily guessed answers.
Service Configuration
1. Enable HTTPS
It is recommended that you enable HTTPS to access web services through secure channels.
2. Encrypted transmission of audio and video
If your audio and video data contents are very important or sensitive, it is recommended to use
encrypted transmission function in order to reduce the risk of your audio and video data being
eavesdropped during transmission.
3. Turn off non-essential services and use safe mode
If not needed, it is recommended to turn off some services such as SSH, SNMP, SMTP, UPnP, AP
hotspot etc., to reduce the attack surfaces.
If necessary, it is highly recommended to choose safe modes, including but not limited to the
following services:
● SNMP: Choose SNMP v3, and set up strong encryption and authentication passwords.
● SMTP: Choose TLS to access mailbox server.
● FTP: Choose SFTP, and set up complex passwords.
● AP hotspot: Choose WPA2-PSK encryption mode, and set up complex passwords.
4. Change HTTP and other default service ports
It is recommended that you change the default port of HTTP and other services to any port
between 1024 and 65535 to reduce the risk of being guessed by threat actors.
5
Network Configuration
1. Enable Allowlist
It is recommended that you turn on the allowlist function, and only allow IP in the allowlist to
access the device. Therefore, please be sure to add your computer IP address and supporting
device IP address to the allowlist.
2. MAC address binding
It is recommended that you bind the IP address of the gateway to the MAC address on the
device to reduce the risk of ARP spoofing.
3. Build a secure network environment
In order to better ensure the security of devices and reduce potential cyber risks, the following
are recommended:
● Disable the port mapping function of the router to avoid direct access to the intranet devices
from external network;
● According to the actual network needs, partition the network: if there is no communication
demand between the two subnets, it is recommended to use VLAN, gateway and other
methods to partition the network to achieve network isolation;
● Stablish 802.1x access authentication system to reduce the risk of illegal terminal access to
the private network.
Security Auditing
1. Check online users
It is recommended to check online users regularly to identify illegal users.
2. Check device log
By viewing logs, you can learn about the IP addresses that attempt to log in to the device and
key operations of the logged users.
3. Configure network log
Due to the limited storage capacity of devices, the stored log is limited. If you need to save the
log for a long time, it is recommended to enable the network log function to ensure that the
critical logs are synchronized to the network log server for tracing.
Software Security
1. Update firmware in time
According to the industry standard operating specifications, the firmware of devices needs to be
updated to the latest version in time in order to ensure that the device has the latest functions
and security. If the device is connected to the public network, it is recommended to enable the
online upgrade automatic detection function, so as to obtain the firmware update information
released by the manufacturer in a timely manner.
2. Update client software in time
It is recommended to download and use the latest client software.
Physical Protection
It is recommended that you carry out physical protection for devices (especially storage devices),
such as placing the device in a dedicated machine room and cabinet, and having access control
6
and key management in place to prevent unauthorized personnel from damaging hardware and
other peripheral equipment (e.g. USB flash disk, serial port).
