Setting Up 8 Access Points in CAPXLV2 using Advanced Configurations
Advanced Configuration is a new feature that enhances the user experience by adding more ways to customize the inputs on the door control board. This allows you to set up access points that might be unique to your installation. You can assign multiple relay outputs, monitored inputs, and readers all in one access point. Use the following instructions below to walk you through the setup in the myQ Community web portal.
How to Switch your CAPXLV2 into Advanced Configuration mode:
- After logging into account.myQ.com, click on “Devices”.
- Select the CAPXLV2 you will be configuring the access points for.
- Click on "Advanced Settings”, then “Access Point Settings”.
- Under Access point settings, select the “Advanced Configuration" option.
- A message will appear explaining that this process will clear any current settings you have already created in the basic configuration mode. You will be given two options to select:
- Change and Reset switches to advanced config mode and erase your current settings
- Change and Transfer switches to advanced config mode but will keep your current settings
- After making your selection, click “Change to Advanced”.
The interface displays a left-hand navigation menu with options like 'General Settings', 'Advanced Settings', and 'Access Points Settings'. The main content area shows 'Basic Configuration' (up to 4 access points) and 'Advanced Configuration' (up to 8 access points). The 'Advanced Configuration' option is selected, and tabs for individual access points (Access 1, Access 2, etc.) are visible.
Advanced Configurations:
General & Permissions:
The General and Permissions settings are the same settings found in the Basic configuration.
Relay Output:
If this is the first time setting up the Advanced Configurations, the Relay Outputs dropdown defaults to setting up the primary relay as well as a secondary relay. If you do not need to set up two relays for this first access point, you can remove the other relay by clicking the red trash can icon [?️].
- Name: This is the name you assign to the relay. It is suggested that you name the relay similar to what function it will serve (i.e., Front Entry, North Slide Gate).
- Relay Output: Click on the dropdown and select which of your available relays (1-8) that you will activate. Once a relay has been selected in the access point, it will be unavailable to select in any other access point configurations.
- Pass-Through Interval: This is the time that the relay will remain unlocked after activation.
If you are setting up an additional relay for your access point, and this is the first access point you are setting up, you can configure a second relay to work in tandem with your primary relay. This is useful in secure installations that include multiple points of entry, such situations with an apartment that has a vestibule entry.
- Follow Primary Delay: The second relay output will have the same setup as the primary, except you now have the “Follow Primary Relay” slider [Toggle Switch]. Turn this option on if you want the secondary relay output to remain unlocked for the duration as the primary. Leave the slider in the off position if you want the delay to be different.
Monitored Inputs:
You can configure up to four monitored inputs, for request to exit devices, a Knox Box, and status inputs.
- Name: This is the name you assign to the relay. It is suggested that you name the relay like what function it will serve (i.e., Rear Entry or Knox Box).
- Type: This is where you will select one of the three available monitored input devices: Rex, Knox Box, or Status Input.
- If Status Input was selected, two additional drop-down menus will appear below "Type". Status is the first of the two. Options include:
- Close Limit Reached
- Open Limit Reached
- Door Ajar
- If Status Input was selected, two additional drop-down menus will appear below "Type". Status is the first of the two. Options include:
- Input Interval: This is the time that the input is in that status before it reports back to the access control.
- Monitored Input: Select one of the eight monitored inputs that the device is connected to.
- EOL (End of Line) Supervision: EOL or End of Line Supervision monitors the wiring between the access control and the end-of-line device. Use this to turn EOL Supervision on or off.
- State: This determines if the device is wired for a Normally Open or Normally Closed circuit. Depending on what that is, you will select either NO (Normally Open) or NC (Normally Closed) for the monitored input.
If more than one monitored input is needed, select “+ Set Up Second Input” and configure the input the same as you did with the first monitored input. You can continue setting monitored inputs up to four total.
Readers:
If Weigand readers are available, they will show available readers. If any OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) Readers are available, they will automatically appear in the drop-down menu. You can connect up to two readers per access point.
Once you have reviewed your settings, click on save [Save].
Note: Please try to Refresh Accessories Settings on About page if OSDP reader(s) is connected and not displayed here.
Access Points 2-8
When configuring access points after you have set up the first one, click on the next one available. You will see a button labeled “Start Guided Set Up.” A pop-up window will appear, guiding you through each configuration menu (General, Permissions, Outputs, Inputs, Readers) one at a time for easier navigation and quick set up.
Note: After setting up all your necessary access points, you can view and download the summary of your setup by clicking on the config summary [View Summary]. The configuration summary provides a consolidated view of all settings for each access point, including assigned relays and inputs.
