1 Introduction
1.2 Concepts
Understanding the following concepts may help you read through the manual.
Weekly Schedule A weekly schedule is certain days of the week when a user is granted
access to a secure site.
For details, see 4.4 Setting Weekly Schedule.
Access Group An access group is a group of users with identical location restrictions
during the same time restraints.
For details, see 4.5 Setting Access Group.
Alarm Condition An alarm condition is a condition monitored through sensors, and

alarms can be activated when the condition is detected by the
sensors. For example, the AS210 Controller can monitor up to 8
sensors, such as door status sensor, smoke detector and tamper
detector. The AS210 Controller also provides output relays for
activating and deactivating electric lock, siren and emergency door
release when the alarm condition occurs.
Note that GV-AS100 / 1010 / 110 / 1110 / 120 have built-in sensors to
detect whether the controller is being physically tampered with (i.e.
opening of the controller or sustaining strong impact). For GV-AS210 /
2110 / 2120 / 410 / 4110 / 810 / 8110, the tampering alarm sensor
needs to be installed separately and the triggering conditions depend
on the type of sensor installed.
For settings of alarm conditions see Step 4 of 4.2.2 Step 2:

Configuring the Doors. For configuring inputs and outputs see GV-AS
/ GV-EV Controller User’s Manual.
Anti-Duress If a person is forced to open the door under threat, he or she can enter
his or her PIN plus 1 to activate an alarm and send a signal to the
ASManager to dispatch the police. For example, the PIN is 5555 and
you enter 5556. The door will open normally (access granted) and the
alarm will be activated. The function is enabled by default in the
system.
Anti-Passback The feature is designed to prevent card sharing and to enforce use of
entry and exit readers. If a card was used at an entry reader, it must
be used at an exit reader before it will be valid at an entry reader
again. For settings, see 4.2.2 Step 2: Configuring the Doors.
5
Interlock The feature is also called “mantrap” or interlocking”. The feature
interlocks the selected door with one or multiple doors connected to
the same controller. For example, if door A is set to interlock with Door
B and C, neither of Door B or C will unlock when Door A is opened.
When either of Door B or C is opened, Door A will not unlock.
For settings, see 4.2.1 Step 1: Configuring a Controller.
Two-person A/B The door unlock only when two assigned cards are presented
rule together. Two Person Card A must be presented before Two Person
Card B.
For settings, see 4.3.1 Adding a Single Card.
IP device The video device is connected to the ASManager through the network.
The ASManager enables you to access the live video from not only
GeoVision IP devices (GV-System, GV-VMS, GV-Video Server,
GV-Compact DVR and GV-IP Camera) but also certain third-party IP
cameras. Connections to IP devices through ONVIF, PSIA and RTSP
protocols are also supported.
For details, see Chapter 5 Video Integration.
Data Group This feature allows the administrator to restrict a user account to only
be able to read, write or execute the controllers, cards, users, access
groups, time zones and weekly schedules assigned under a data
group. For example, the administrator can create a data group for the
sales department and assign sales department-related cards and
controllers under that data group. Employees in the sales department
will only have access to the cards and controllers of their own
department.
For details, see 8.1.1 Adding a New User.
Door Group When a large number of GV-AS / GV-EV Controllers are connected to
the GV-ASManager, the controllers can be organized into different
door groups, allowing you to quickly upload fingerprints to all the
controllers in a door group instead of uploading to each controller one
by one.
For details, see Uploading Fingerprints to Controllers Using Door
Groups section in Chapter 3 of GV-GF Fingerprint Reader User’s
Manual.
6
1 Introduction
1.3 Optional Devices

Optional devices can expand the capabilities and versatilities of your GV-ASManager.
Consult your sales representative for more information.
Fingerprints can be enrolled through a GV-GF1911 Fingerprint Reader

GV-GF1911 installed on the computer of the GV-ASManager. The fingerprint data
Fingerprint Reader are distributed through GV-ASManager to the assigned fingerprint
readers installed on GV-AS / GV-EV Controllers for access control.
Fingerprints can be enrolled locally or remotely using a GV-GF1921 /

1922 Fingerprint Reader through TCP/IP connection with
GV-ASManager.
GV-GF1921 / 1922 For local fingerprint enrollment, the user needs to register his or her
Fingerprint Reader fingerprints onsite using a reader connected with GV-ASManager. For
remote fingerprint enrollment, empty fingerprints can be created on
the GV-ASManager first, and the user can register his or her
fingerprints later at a GV-GF1921 / 1922 with the assigned card.
The GV-PCR310 is a USB card reader designed to assist with card

enrollment to GV-ASManager / GV-ASWeb. It reads and transfers the
identification data of a detected card to GV-ASManager / GV-ASWeb.
GV-PCR310
The user can conveniently establish user accounts on GV-ASManager
Enrollment Reader
/ GV-ASWeb by inserting the cards in the GV-PCR310 Enrollment
Reader. Starting from GV-ASManager V4.3.5, GV-PCR310 supports
both 26 and 34-bit Wiegand card formats (13.56 MHz).

Chapter 6 Anti-Passback
The Anti-Passback is used to ensure one-card and one-way access into and then out of a
controlled area. This function prevents users from passing their cards back to a second
person to gain entry into the same controlled area. Depending on the number of controllers
and communication link, there are three types of Anti-Passback operations: Anti-Passback,
Local Anti-Passback and Global Anti-Passback.
Anti-Passback is performed only on one controller, while Local Anti-Passback and Global
Anti-Passback can be performed on multiple controllers. Anti-Passback is performed through
either RS-485 or TCP/IP connection, while Local Anti-Passback and Global Anti-Passback
are performed only through TCP/IP connection. The following table lists the supported
operations among GV-AS / GV-EV Controllers.
Model Anti-Passback Local Anti-Passback & Global

6.1 Anti-Passback
Anti-Passback is used on one controller only. For this application, select Local
Anti-Passback at the Door tab of the Controller Setup dialog box (Figure 4-3).
Figure 6-1
To reset Anti-Passback on GV-ASManager or GV-ASRemote, right-click the Host or

Controller icon on the Device View window (Figure 3-3) and select Reset Anti-Passback.
67
6.2 Local Anti-Passback
Local Anti-Passback is used on multiple controllers which are associated with network
connections. Before you start, the following conditions must be true:
• The communication mode between GV-ASManager and the controller is Ethernet.
• LAN environment is applied.
Here we will explain how to combine three controllers together to operate the Anti-Passback
(APB) function. Since Anti-Passback is performed in a network connection, every controller
has a unique IP address. When three controllers are connected for Anti-Passback, an APB IP
address is then applied for interaction.
For example, Controller No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 are combined in sequence, as illustrated
below. APB IP is the IP address of the associated controller.
IP of Controller No. 1 is 192.168.0.11; APB IP of Controller No. 1 is IP of Controller No. 2.
Controller No. 1 Controller No. 2 Controller No. 3

IP:192.168.0.11 IP:192.168.0.12 IP:192.168.0.13
APB IP:192.168.0.12 APB IP:192.168.0.13 APB IP:192.168.0.11
68
6 Anti-Passback
To configure Anti-Passback for the three Controllers:
1. Access the Function Configuration page of the Controller No. 1 Web interface. In the
Series Function (APB & Fire) section, select Enable and enter Info IP that is the IP
address of Controller No. 2, e.g. 192.168.0.12.
Figure 6-2
4. On the ASManager, select Local Anti-Passback (Figure 6-1) to start the function.

69
6.3 Global Anti-Passback
Global Anti-Passback can not only prevent the use of a card to gain successive entries, but
track the user around the site.
The diagram below shows a typical site controlled by access control. The following sections
will guide you through the steps you would need to go through to configure this site for Global
Anti-Passback.

6.3.2 Step 2: Configuring Areas
This step is to define the Entry and Exit areas for each door and name the areas properly.
• On the menu bar, click Setup and select Areas. This dialog box appears.
Figure 6-4
Enter to is the area where you enter by accessing the Entry reader. Exit to is the area where
you exit to by accessing the Exit reader. In this case, we set up like this:
Gate A: Enter to Reception; Exit to Outside
Gate B: Enter to Sales; Exit to Reception
Gate C: Enter to Meeting Room; Exit to Sales
Gate D: Enter to Factory; Exit to Sales
6.3.3 Step 3: Configuring Readers
This step is to define the Entry and Exit readers for each door. The reader definition tells the
GV-ASManager which reader controls the access across the area boundaries.
When users access unauthorized readers, the message Access Denied: APB (Wrong Area)
will be displayed and the door will remain locked. When users access the same reader
successively, the message Access Denied: APB (Double Entry) will be displayed and the
door will remain locked.
71
To define readers, go to the Web interface of the GV-AS / GV-EV Controller, and in the left
menu, click Wiegand Setting for Wiegand readers or Extended Reader for RS-485 / TCP/IP
readers. In the example below, Wiegand reader A (Entry) goes from Outside to Reception,
Wiegand reader B (Exit) goes from Reception to Outside and etc.
Figure 6-5
6.3.4 Step 4: Configuring Door Contacts
This step is to define the door contact sensor for each door. When the door contact sensor is
triggered and the door is unlocked, the GV-ASManager can tell the location of the user based
on your area definition at Step 2.
To define door contact sensors, go to the Web interface of GV-AS / GV-EV Controller and
click Input Setting. In the example below, Input 01 is set as Door Contact of Door A, Input 02
is set as Door Contact of Door B and etc.

8.4 Setting Up GV-GF Fingerprint Readers

GV-ASManager can enroll users’ fingerprints using GV-GF1911 / GV-GF1921 / GV-GF1922
and upload the fingerprint data to the GV-GF Fingerprint Readers installed on the
controllers. To gain access, the user’s fingerprint must match the enrolled fingerprint.
There are two ways to enroll fingerprints: locally and remotely.
For local fingerprint enrollment, a GV-GF1911 / 1921 / 1922 needs to be connected to

GV-ASManager, and the user needs to register his or her fingerprints at the site of the
GV-ASManager.
For remote fingerprint enrollment, first enroll empty fingerprints for a user on the
GV-ASManager. The user can then go to a connected GV-GF1921 / 1922 at a later time, and
register his or her fingerprints using an assigned card. This function is useful when the user is
not around GV-ASManager.
Note:
1. GV-GF1911 / 1912 / 1921 / 1922 is only supported in GV-ASManager 4.0 or later.
2. For remote fingerprint enrollment through TCP/IP, a separate GV-GF1921 / 1922 is
required to enroll fingerprints. The GV-GF1921 /1922 used for fingerprint enrollment
cannot be applied as a fingerprint reader at the same time.
3. The enrolled fingerprints will be saved on the fingerprint reader instead of on the
GV-ASManager.
For details on how to enroll fingerprints and how to upload fingerprint data to GV-GF
Fingerprint Reader, refer to Chapter 3 Fingerprint Only Mode in the GV-GF Fingerprint
Reader User’s Manual.

18 Troubleshooting
Chapter 18 Troubleshooting
Q1: GV-ASManager cannot connect to GV-AS / GV-EV Controller over the

Internet.
There are several causes for this problem such as IP address conflict, incorrect connection
settings and network failure. The following solution is to assign the fixed IP to the
GV-ASManager and GV-AS / GV-EV Controller respectively. This way can determine if the
problem is caused by the faulty devices and incorrect network settings.
1. Disconnect the hub or switch, which connects the GV-ASManager and GV-AS / GV-EV
Controller, from the network.
2. Give the GV-ASManager a fixed IP address that is NOT used by another device, e.g.
192.168.0.154.
Figure 18-1
3. Reset the GV-AS / GV-EV Controller module and Ethernet module to factory defaults.
a. Plug the GV-ASKeypad to the GV-AS / GV-EV Controller.
b. Remove the jumper cap from the 2-pin Default jumper.
c. Press the Reset button.
d. Replace the jumper cap back to the 2-pin Default jumper.
e. To reset the Ethernet Module, press and hold the Default EN button for 6 seconds.
249
4. Open the browser and enter the GV-AS / GV-EV Controller default address:
http://192.168.0.100
Figure 18-2
5. In the IP address field, give the controller an IP address that is NOT used by another
device, e.g. 192.168.0.XXX.
6. On the GV-ASManager, enter the following settings:
Controller ID: 1
Network: TCP/IP
IP: 192.168.0.XXX
Port: 4000
User: admin
Password: admin
Crypto key: 12345678
Figure 18-3
250
18 Troubleshooting
7. The connection between the GV-ASManager and the controller should be established,
and the connection icon should appear. If disconnection happens after you connect
the hub or switch to the network, then it should be other network problems. Please
contact your network administrator.
Q2: The connection established between the GV-ASManager and GV-AS /

GV-EV Controller is interrupted.
This may be due to IP address conflict. Follow these steps to troubleshoot the problem:
1. Disconnect the hub or switch, which connects to the GV-ASManager and GV-AS / GV-EV
Controller, from the network.
2. Run Windows Command Prompt. Take Classic Windows Start Menu for example, click
Start, select Accessories and click Command Prompt.
3. Type arp –d and press Enter.
Figure 18-4
4. Give the GV-ASManager a fixed IP address that is NOT used by another device. See
Figure 17-1.
5. Open the browser and enter the assigned IP address of the controller. The Network
Configuration page appears. See Figure 18-2.
6. In the IP address field, give the controller an IP address that is NOT used by another
device, e.g. 192.168.0.XXX.
7. On the GV-ASManager, enter the following settings. See Figure 18-3.
Controller ID: 1
Network: TCP/IP
IP: 192.168.0.XXX
Port: 4000
User: admin
251
Password: admin
Crypto key: 12345678
8. The connection between the GV-ASManager and GV-AS / GV-EV Controller should be
established, and the connection icon should appear. If disconnection happens after
you connect the hub or switch to the network, then it should be other network problems.
Please contact your network administrator.
Q3: GV-ASManager cannot receive card messages but the reader accepts the
card when the connection between the GV-ASManager and GV-AS / GV-EV
Controller is well established.
It may be due to memory failure in the controller. Reset both the controller module and the
Ethernet module to factory settings. Refer to Step 3 in Question 1.
Q4: The GV-ASManager cannot retrieve the video from the DVR for playback.
1. Make sure the Remote ViewLog Service on Control Center Server is enabled on the
DVR.
2. Make sure the time on the GV-ASManager and the DVR is consistent.
3. Make sure the event file you want to play back has been created completely on the DVR.
For example, the assigned time length of every recorded event on the DVR is 5 minutes.
The desired event of 5 minutes must have been displayed on the ViewLog Event List, so
you can access the event file for playback.
Q5: After I add a card by presenting to the reader, the message “Access Denied
Invalid Card” still appears
(For details on adding a card, see Step 1 in 4.3.1 Adding a Single Card.)
It may be the card format is not compatible with the controller. For GV-AS100, GV-AS110 and
GV-AS120, ensure the format is 26~64 bits. Otherwise, send us the related information of
your card format so that we can customize the format for you.
252
18 Troubleshooting
Q6: The GV-ASManager cannot receive card messages from the GV-Reader
connected to the GV-AS / GV-EV Controller through RS-485 interface.
1. Make sure the GV-Reader is correctly wiring to the controller and Switch 4 on the
GV-Reader is set to OFF.
2. Make sure the correct GV-Reader ID is set on the controller.
Q7: I can’t change the Advanced Settings on the Web interface of the GV-AS /
GV-EV Controller. The “Submit” button is missing.
To modify the Advanced Settings, make sure the Web Setting Switch on the controllers is
set to ON. For the location of the Web Setting Switch, refer to the Web Setting Switch section
of each controller or GV-ASNet / GV-ASBox.
Q8: After installing GV-ASManager, the message “d3dx9_40.dll cannot be

found” appears.
Make sure DirectX End-User Runtimes is installed and restart the computer afterwards. To
install DirectX End-User Runtimes, insert the supplied Software DVD to your computer, and
select Install DirectX End-User Runtimes (November 2008).
