The Alcatraz Rock has an LED ring that provides part of the visual feedback experience when a user interacts with the Rock.
The ring's LED colors and brightness can be configured in the AIcatraz AI Admin Portal.
ACS controls LEDs: The Access Control System has control of the Rock's LEDs when this option is selected. (Most widely selected to use with ACS Systems)
ACS guides LEDs: The Rock will control the LEDs but only in the event of a response from the ACS. (Most widely used when troubleshooting unexpected colors from the ACS)
Colors and what they indicate:
- White = idle
- Blue = badge sent to the ACS
- Green = ACS granted access
- Red = ACS did not grant access
Rock controls LEDs: The Rock ignores any responses from the ACS and instead, uses a set of defined colors for badge and authentication events. (Most widely used with our demo stands and when not connected to an ACS system)
- Badge scan sequence: White (idle) -> Green -> White (idle)
- Authentication sequence: White (idle) -> Blue -> Green -> White (idle)
For Wiegand: The recommended wiring is to connect the ACS Panel Green LED wire to the Green LED wire of the Rock (please refer to the Install Guide)
