Console Configuration
Once the keypad reader has been wired and mounted, it will need to be configured in the Rhombus console before use.

|
|
| 2. Under the "RS-485" section, click "Quick Add" below the port your keypad reader is wired to, and select "Third Party Reader." |

Create Unique PIN Credentials
Every user can have a unique PIN credential to access a door with a keypad reader wired to it. These PINs can have start and end dates and can be up to 16 digits long.
Note: When entering a unique PIN on the Wavelynx Keypad Reader, you must press the "#" key after the PIN to submit the entry.
| 1. Navigate to "Settings" and click "Access Control Credentials." |
|
|
| 2. Click "Add Credential" in the upper left corner. |
|
|
|
3. In the pop-up window, select a user from the drop-down menu, choose "Keypad PIN" under credential type, choose how long you'd like the PIN to be, and create a unique PIN or click the "Auto-Generate" button. If you'd like the PIN to be sent to the selected user via email, toggle the "Deliver via email" switch, and the associated email address will populate beside the toggle. Note: Each PIN must be unique. Attempting to use the same PIN more than once will produce an error. |

4. To set a start or end date for the credential, toggle the corresponding switch and select the desired date(s) and time(s). Click "Add" when finished. |
