GETTING STARTED
Overview
The MPA2C3 panel is a modular 2 and 4 Door access control system. An MPA2
access control site is configured with a host system and access control units. These
units also communicate with each other and with a variety of input and output
devices. Each access control unit, or panel, has up to four reader connection. Each
connection can support one Wiegand reader and two readers for OSDP (Reader A
(IN) and B (OUT)).
MPA2C3 supports up to 4 Wiegand readers. Any Wiegand reader without hold wire
can be connected. In a MPA2C3 2 door panel both doors can be controlled with 2
Wiegand readers, configured as IN and OUT Reader. In a MPA2C3 4 door panel
each door can be controlled with 1 Wiegand reader, only configured as IN Reader.
MPA2C3 can also support up to 8 OSDP readers. See for a list of compatible OSDP
readers. In a MPA2C3 2 or 4 door panel each door can be controlled with 2 OSDP
readers, configured as IN and OUT Reader.
Per door peripheral inputs (for Request-to-EXit (REX) and Doorcontacts (DrCnt))
and an output (Locking device) are available.
Additional 8 inputs and 4 outputs are available for internal logical connections
(interlocking) or control via the user interfaces or host software. Per Panel a FACP
(Fire Alarm Control Panel) input is available to override the controlled door outputs
for people to allow to free egress the connected doors.
Panels can be connected in a (Primary/Gateway – Secondary/Downstream) RS485
loop or in a EVL (Ethernet Virtual Loop) configuration.
The User Interface with the MPA2 access control unit is either through a host soft-
ware system or by connecting to the built in web server through an Ethernet or USB
connection. This user manual describes the configuration, monitoring and control
via the web server.
