< Glossary>
Zone
A ‘zone’ is a monitored area. An external contact device either Normally Open or
closed can be connected to the controller for monitoring its state as (open/closed/shorted).
Partition
A ‘partition’ is usually a larger area that may include a group of zones.
Door
A door is a zone which is usually connected to the controller for monitoring the
open/close state. A door is the same as a zone but is specific as an entry/exit area.
Reader
A reader is an external device which is used for controlling access to a protected area.
A reader can be a ‘card reader’ or ‘fingerprint reader’.
Armed/Disarmed
When a partition is ‘Armed’ and a zone is violated (open/troubled) the controller will
indicate an alarm condition (Bell output) and UNIS. When a partition is disarmed it is in a
normal state and no alarm condition will occur. (Exception is forced alarm events and 24
hour zone types)
Alarm
When a partition is in alarm it will sound a local siren and report an event to the server
for notification.
Bell or Siren
An external sounder or indicator can be connected for a local alarm notification
Monitoring
This refers to all external events/hardware that are connected to the controller. When a
device is connected to the controller it is said to be monitored by the MCP040.

1. Introduction
1.1. Specification & Features
The MCP040 (Main Control Panel – 4 Lock) is an access controller and security system.
2. System Design
The MCP040 factory settings allow for easy setup and minimal configuration. It is important to
consider your system design and planning before beginning.
Draw a layout diagram of the system showing all possible externally connected devices
(readers, locks, zones, bell, etc)
Determine the total current draw of the system.
Bell/Siren 750 mA
Other
Readers can be Virdi card readers, Virdi fingerprint readers or Wiegand readers. Normally all readers
are located near an entry or exit point to allow access in or out.
Locks are located at the entry or access point. The electric locks will automatically open and close
when the MCP040 accepts valid access.
Zones are areas throughout the building or room that will be monitored by the MCP040. Normally
electric locks have a door monitoring signal ‘Normally open or normally closed’, this will sense when
the door has been open or closed. This door monitoring feature should also be connected to the
MCP040 ZN1~ZN8 zone input. If you choose to monitor other zone types (Glass break detectors,
motion detectors or door contacts, they should also be connected to the ZN1~Z8 Inputs on the
MCP040.
Exit Buttons are used to open the lock when leaving the building/room. The exit buttons should be
connected to the IN1~IN4 on the MCP040.
In a normal security application an area is referred to as a partition. Zones are assigned to each
partition for monitoring intrusion. When a user enters their partition they will ‘Disarm’ the partition so
no alarm occurs. When a user exits their partition; they will ‘Arm’ their partition so all zones are ready
for monitoring. If any zone is opened during an armed period a local Bell/Siren will be activated and
an alarm event will be reported to the server software.

Example:
When a registered card is scanned at Reader#1 OR Exit Button#1 is activated, Lock#1 will unlock for
5 seconds. If door monitoring is used and the door is forced open or left open after access, an alarm
will be indicated on zone#1
These settings can be changed from the UNIS -> Terminal Management-> Setup Options. See
Section 4.5 Configuration Settings in UNIS.
3. System Setup
This section describes the basic steps for setting up your system. From the factory settings you do not
need to change any additional settings from UNIS.
Network Setup
Reader Setup
Lock Setup
Zone Monitoring Setup
Exit Button Setup
The MCP040 does not have a user interface for system setup. Setup can only be done using the
UNIS software. It is important to follow these steps to connect the MCP040 to the UNIS server
software.
From the factory these are the following defaults for the MCP040 network.
You can choice 1 of 3 methods for network setup of the MCP040 (Router/Direct PC/ UDP). In all
cases if a connection is not possible disable in your PC the ‘Windows Firewall’ option.
1) In UNIS ‘Terminal Management’ -> Add Terminal, add the terminal ID of the MCP040 and click
add.
2) Connect the MCP040 to your network using a standard CAT-5 network cable to the router.
3) Connect your PC using a standard CAT-5 network cable to the router.
4) Setup your router with a gateway address of 192.168.0.1
5) Setup your PC with a static IP address of 192.168.0.2
6) You should now see the device connected to UNIS. ( If the device is not connected try
disabling ‘Windows Firewall’ option)
3.1.1.2. Direct to PC
1) In UNIS ‘Terminal Management’ -> Add Terminal, add the terminal ID of the MCP040 and click
add.
2) Connect the MCP040 using a cross-over CAT-5 network cable to your PC.
3) Setup your PC with a static IP address of 192.168.0.2
4) You should now see the device connected to UNIS.
MCP040 has an integrated mini web server with basic network setup and status viewing. MCP040
should be connected to the same route as the PC you type in the address from.
5) Type in the information for your network requirements ( IP, Gateway, DHCP, Terminal ID, etc)
6) Type in the default password, 0842650, and then click submit.
7) If you require changing the default password, you can enter the new password in the ‘New
PASSWORD’ field. ( 16 characters maximum)
8) MCP040 will disconnect from the current network and setup the new information that was set.
NOTE: PC should be on the same network as the MCP040 for browsing to work, or Port
forwarding may need to be enabled in the router.
In some cases you may want to setup the MCP040 with a different IP or Terminal ID before
connecting to the UNIS software. You will need an external program located in the Program Files-
>UNIS->Patch directory called ‘terminal finder’. This program will allow you to search all Virdi devices
on the network and setup (Terminal IP, Server IP, and Terminal ID)
1) In UNIS ‘Terminal Management’ -> Add Terminal, add the terminal ID of the MCP040 and click
add.
2) Connect the MCP040 to your network using a standard CAT-5 network cable.
3) Open the terminal finder program
4) Click ‘Search’ – a device list of all devices on the network will appear
5) Select the device in which you would like to modify. It should be highlighted and the current
settings of that device will appear.
7) For greater security you must enter a password to change the values before you click ‘apply’,
the default password is 0842650. This password can be changed. Also you can lock-down the
controller so that future changes cannot be setup by UDP method. CAUTION, as you may not
be able to setup the controller after this value is set from the Terminal Finder program.
8) Click ‘Apply’ and you should see ‘configuration settings success’ in the bottom of the screen.
The MCP040 can support up to eight external Virdi readers connected to the RS485 (RDR+/RDR-)
connection terminals. Additionally 2/4 external Wiegand readers can be connected to the DO and D1
connectors
All readers require 4 wires for connection. All four wires should be home-run directly to the MCP040
controller.

Each reader connected to the 485 bus requires a unique ID to identify itself. All Virdi readers have a
software or hardware programmable ID. On the VSR20 readers set the dipswitches to the desired ID
number 0-7 (Reader 1~8). See the VSR20 installation manual.
Once the controller is re-powered all readers will automatically enroll with the controller. The controller
has an auto-enroll procedure for all readers. This will take approximately one minute for all readers to
be enrolled after power up.

For detail wiring setup please refer to the MCP040 Installation & Wiring Guide.
The RX and TX LEDs for the Readers can be used for troubleshooting. After the auto-enroll
process both LEDs will flicker normally at a constant rate if the readers are connected correctly.
1) Observe the correct polarity when connecting the reader to RDR+/RDR-
2) Ensure the terminal is tightly securing the wire
3) Wire distance length and wire size should be considered.
Reader Notification
If the reader is connected correctly, the MCP040 will monitor the reader for connectivity.
1) If the reader loses communication to the MCP040 for 30 seconds, the reader will emit a
double beep repeatedly every 30 seconds.
2) During the auto-enroll process the reader will flash its LEDs every 1 second.
3) If the MCP040 loses communication with the reader a notification will appear in the Event
monitoring list (UNIS) after approximately 30 seconds. A trouble condition is reported.
4) If there is a door left open after the door warning period the reader will emit a beep every 1
second.
LD104 = 485 RX
LD105 = 485TX
The MCP040 can support up to four (4) external electronic locking devices.
For detail wiring setup please refer to the MCP040 Installation & Wiring Guide.
A zone is an area in the system that requires monitoring. There are two types of zone monitoring
circuits than can connect to the MCP040.
Normally Open (NO)
Normally Closed (NC)
Most electronic locks have a monitoring output for the door sensor (NC or NO). The purpose of
monitoring is to sense when the door has opened/closed. This can be used for alarms, forced open
events or door open too long events.
MCP040 has three configuration types for zone monitoring.
The hardware package will include the resistors needed for the below configuration(s).
This configuration should only be used when you require more than four (4) zone inputs to be
individually monitored. This configuration will allow two (2) zone inputs to be connected to 1 terminal
input and still identify each input separately. You must enable Zone Double for the zone you wish to
expand. This can be expanded up to 8 zones.
Note: EOL (End of Line Resistor) must be enabled for this feature – see Section 4.5.8
NOTE: After the EOL settings have changed and zones have been connected to the system it is
recommended a normal walk test of each door/zone on the system, and confirm the open/restore
state from the web server or UNIS status.
Notes:
1) Only Normally Closed circuit loops can use Zone Expansion EOL (ZXEOL).
2) Fire Zones cannot be used with Zone Expansion EOL (ZXEOL). Only 1 single fire zone per zone
input with a 2200ohm resistor.
Follow this procedure for connecting a zone or door monitoring device to the MCP040.

3.6. Partitioning
A partition is a group of zones that function independently of each other. This may be useful in
situations where there is more than one customer installation in a building with (1) MCP040.
If a reader is set for Access Mode only and a user does not have any partitions assigned, the partition
will always disarm first before access/opening the door ( providing the reader has locks assigned), in
order to prevent false alarms.
An external bell, light or sounder can be connected to the MCP040 for a local alarm annunciation.
If no bell or siren is connected a 2200 ohm resistor should be connected across the BELL+ and
BELL- terminals. This input is supervised, a trouble condition at UNIS will be generated if no bell
or siren is connected. The bell output will activate during any alarm condition.
- Door Forced Events (Steady Output) – Turn off after all forced zones are restored.
- Zone Alarm (Steady Output) – Turn off after bell sounder period OR system is disarmed
- Fire Alarm ( Pulsed Output 1 second ON, 1 second OFF)

BELL-
The default wiegand format is 26/34bit. If you wish to customize this bit format to another type this can
be done in UNIS -> Tools->Management->Set Wiegand Input Format. A detail help guide is available
in UNIS for setting up the bit formats.
For detail wiring setup please refer to the MCP040 Installation & Wiring Guide.
The MCP040 will monitor the backup battery voltage and report the Low Battery condition to the UNIS
server.
The MCP040 will check the battery 30 seconds after power up and approximately every 4 minutes 30
seconds afterwards.
The MCP040 will monitor the status of the AC (Main power) connected to the PWR+, PWR- terminals.
When AC is disconnected for longer than 10 seconds a AC Loss trouble condition will be reported to
the UNIS server and the MCP040 will be powered from the battery back-up.
After a connection with the UNIS server software is established detail setup parameters may be
customized or changed depending upon your application. You should ensure section 3 ‘System Setup’
is fully complete, all readers, exit buttons, external devices are connected and working before you
continue with detail setup parameters.
In UNIS select the ‘Terminal Management’ TAB on the left column, then highlight, by selecting, the
MCP040 you wish to setup. Next, select the ‘Setup Options’ on the left column.
The MCP040 is a stand-alone access control device. It does not require the UNIS server for normal
operation. It only requires setup by the server. User setup, configuration and/ or real-time monitoring
can be used for UNIS.
In the MCP040 users are identified by card serial numbers only. It is important that the card format
you use to register the card at UNIS (Hamster device) is the same format how the MCP040 reads the
card. In UNIS->Tools->Design Card Layout the ‘Standard Card Tab’ should be selected, select the
‘Serial Number Type’, chose the card serial number type you wish to use.
After you select the card serial number format click ‘Send to Terminal’ and then select the MCP040.
Reader configuration allows you to assign a lock to the reader, open period for the lock and other
variables.
Select the reader in which you would like to read or setup (0-7, Wiegand 1-4), then click ‘Read’.
After any changes have been made to the reader, click ‘Save’, then click ‘Send’, this will send the
parameters to the MCP040.
Reader Number (0-7) – This number is the 485 ID set on the reader.
If the reader is connected correctly you will see the reader type of the reader. This field cannot be
changed; the MCP040 determines the reader type.
Reader Types:
If the reader is not connected correctly or unused you will see ‘UNKNOWN’ in the reader type
field.
Lock: 1-4. A Reader can be assigned to multiple locks. When a registered card is scanned at this
reader, the Lock number that is assigned will unlock.
Partition: 1-4. A Reader can be assigned to multiple partition areas. Default Partition 1. At least 1
partition should be assigned.
NOTE: If a reader is assigned to multiple partitions, the reader will only display the (arm/disarm/exit)
status of the first assigned partition. The reader cannot display the status of more than 1 partition.
Mode: ACCESS, ACCESS+SECURITY. This value determines how the reader will operate when a
user is successfully authorized.
ACCESS : When a valid user is authorized the lock assigned to the reader will open for the
duration of the Open Time.
ACCESS+SECURITY: When a valid user is authorized the lock assigned to the reader will open for
the duration of the Open Time.
If the F1 key is pressed (AC2100/5000) and a valid card/user is authorized, the partition assigned
to the reader and user will ARM. If the partition is already armed the partition assigned to the
reader and user will automatically disarm and unlock the door.
E.G.
If you want to trigger the relay for 1 second, insert 1 into the “Open Time” field.
If you want to trigger the relay for 5 seconds, insert 5 into the “Open Time” field.
If you want to trigger the relay for 60 seconds, insert 60 into the “Open Time” field.
However if you want to trigger the relay for less than 1 second, please use a value from the table
below.
100ms = 255
300ms = 254
500ms = 253
700ms = 252
Always Active = 251
Not Activate =0
E.G.
If you want to trigger the relay for 100 ms, insert 255 into the “Open Time” field.
If you want to trigger the relay for 500 ms, insert 253 into the “Open Time” field.
NOTE: When the lock and partition settings are changed verify the lock is connected to the correct
NC/NO lock output on the terminal connectors. See configuration manual.
Anti-passback:
Partition setup applies to security mode. For normal access control these settings do not need to
change. A partition is an independent group of zones. You can assigned multiple zones (see zone
setup) to a partition area. A partition area may be useful in situations where two separate offices in
one central building. The MCP040 will allow up to four partitions.
Partition: 1-4. Select the partition (1-4) you wish to change, then click ‘Save’ and ‘Send’
Name: (ASCII 16 digits). The maximum length is 16 ASCII Characters. This name is only used for
display purposes so you can easily identify your partition.
Account: (Hexadecimal 4 digits). For CMS (Central Monitoring Service) reporting an account number
is needed per partition. This value is currently viewable in UNIS when a reporting event occurs. Each
digit is programmed as 0-F Hexadecimal. The default account number is the same as the terminal ID
‘0040’
All system events ( AC, low battery, etc will always use the terminal id last four digits)
Siren Time: (0-255 seconds). Default 60 seconds. When any zone alarm occurs on this partition the
BELL output will turn on for this period. If the system is disarmed before the siren time has expired the
BELL output will turn off.
Alarm Count: (0-255). Default 3: This alarm count is the maximum amount of times the partition will
sound the siren and report the alarm event to UNIS during an armed period. In cases where there
may be a faulty zone that is constantly alarming and restoring, this period will ensure only a maximum
count per zone. This value may be useful in reporting to UNIS, to prevent false alarm reporting.
If this value is 0 the alarm count is unlimited ( no limit).
NOTE: This alarm count only applies to zone types EXIT1, EXIT2, INTERIOR and INSTANT.
Chime: If this box is checked, when the system is disarmed only, all zones that are of type EXIT1,
EXIT2 or INSTANT and are assigned to this partition, the reader will sound 2 short beeps when the
zone is opened. This can be used as an indicator when the door is opened. This is not an alarm
indicator, only an indicator that the zone is open.
Unlock on Disarm: If this box is checked, the lock assigned to the reader’s partition will automatically
unlock when the partition is disarmed. The lock will always be opened until the partition is re-armed
again.
Zone configuration is related to door/monitoring or alarm monitoring. When the zone is opened or
closed the MCP040 will react differently depending on the type of zone.
Zone: 1-8. Select the zone (1-8) you wish to change and then click ‘Save and Send’ after all setup is
completed.
Name: (ASCII 10 digits). The maximum length is 10Ascii Characters. This name is only used for
display purposes so you can easily identify your zone.
Type: (List).
UNUSED – if nothing is connected to the Z1/Z5 terminal on the MCP040 select this option
These types of zones are active and alarm only when the partition is armed. These should be used for
Lock monitoring.
EXIT1 – This zone type will have an exit and entry delay when opened. The exit and entry delay will
follow the times that are programmed in the partition programming EXIT1 Entry/Exit Delay
Normally an entry or exit door will have this type. (Bell Active and Reporting)
EXIT2 – This zone type will have an exit and entry delay when opened. The exit and entry delay will
follow the times that are programmed in the partition programming EXIT2 Entry/Exit Delay. Normally
an entry or exit door will have this type, if you have a secondary door which requires a different delay
than the EXIT1 type you can choose this type. (Bell Active and Reporting)
INSTANT - This zone type is used when monitoring a perimeter area. This zone will have no entry or
exit delay and will initiate an alarm immediately if the partition is armed and the zone is opened. (Bell
Active and Reporting)
INTERIOR – This zone type is used when monitoring an interior area. This zone type will follow the
entry/exit delay. If the partition is armed and there is NO entry or exit delay active this zone will initiate
an alarm immediately (Bell Active and Reporting). An example is a motion detector or inside door.
These zone types are active all the time, whether or not the partition is armed or disarmed.
ARMDIS – An external push button or external controller signal can arm or disarm the MCP040 when
this zone is opened and closed.
Zone Response: (Check Box). Normally the default state for loop response is monitored at 400ms. If
the zone is open/closed within 400ms a state change will occur (alarm or restored).
Some external zone devices require faster response periods for capturing the state change, if this box
is checked the zone response will be at 100ms.
The MCP040 has four inputs for monitoring external devices/equipment (IN1-IN4). All four inputs are
setup at default for ‘Exit Buttons’. When the exit button is activated the lock will open.
If a third party device/controller is needed for fire alarm monitoring, the output of the controller can be
connected to the MCP040 input for monitoring of a fire alarm condition.
Output: 1-8. Select the output (1-8) you wish to change and then click ‘Save and Send’ after all setup
is completed.
Inverted: (Check Box) Normally the output is active low, if this box is check the output switch from
HIGH state to LOW state.
Depending on which ‘Type’ is selected the ‘Parameter’ value will have a different meaning. See chart
below for ‘Type’ and ‘Parameter’ description for Output Settings.

The lock settings apply to the four locks on the MCP040. Each lock can be assigned a zone number
for monitoring the door status, open too long period and forced open events.
Lock: 1-4. Select the lock (1-4) and then click ‘Save’ and ‘Send’ after all setup is completed.
Zone/Door Monitor: 1-8. Select the zone (1-8) you wish to assign to the lock. Most door strike type
locks have a door monitoring sensor wire (Normally Closed or Normally Open). You can monitor the
door status by connecting this wire to the selected zone input Z1~Z8. If the lock does not require
monitoring select ‘Not Assigned’
Open Too Long Warning: (0-255 seconds). Default 20 seconds. After a user is successfully granted
access the lock will open for the Lock Open period (See ‘Open Time’ in Reader programming). If the
door remains open after the lock open period the open too long warning period will start. After the
open too long warning expires; the reader in which the lock is assigned to will emit a fast beep tone
every 1 second to alert the user as a warning that the door remains open. When the door is closed
the beeping will stop.
NOTE: This feature only applies if the door sensor wire is connected to the zone input on the MCP040.
The zone type must be EXIT1, EXIT2, INSTANT or INTERIOR type.
Forced Enabled: (Check Box). If selected and the door is forced opened without granting access an
alarm is generated. The bell output will activate for the Siren Time OR if the door is closed the siren
will turn off. A forced open event will be sent to UNIS.
After establishing a connection with UNIS detail network settings can be changed. It is important to
verify the network settings are correct before selecting ‘Send’. The MCP040 will use the changed
settings for reconnecting to UNIS, if the settings are incorrect you will not be able to establish a
connection with UNIS. If you cannot re-establish a connection please follow section 3.1.1.4 UDP
Setup.
Automatic IP Address Acquisition: Select this if you have a router that has DHCP enabled and you
wish to automatically assign an IP, Subnet Mask and Gateway. If this option is selected you cannot
select (Terminal IP, Subnet mask, Default Gateway), the router will automatically assigned these
addresses. Default OFF.
Following IP Address Used: Select this if you have a fixed, Static IP that you are using.
Terminal IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway: Enter the fixed IP addresses for these selections.
Default 192.168.0.6, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.0.1
Server IP and Server Port: Enter the server IP and server port. Default: 192.168.0.26 Port: 9870
System configurations apply to all areas of the MCP040. These settings are global and are included
for all partitions.
Force Arm: (Check Box). This option is for security mode only. Normally a partition should not be
armed if a zone (door) is opened. All zones on the partition should be in a restored state before
arming. If you wish to override this functionality and allow any zone to be open when arming then
check this option.
End of Line Resistors: (Check Box). This option applies to monitoring zones in the MCP040.
See Section 3.4 ‘Zone/Door Monitoring Setup’
Time Sync: (Check Box). If you wish to receive periodic time updates from the UNIS server select
this setting. If this is not set then the MCP040 will use the internal RTC (Real-Time Clock) for time
keeping. NOTE: Due to hardware inaccuracies and drifting the RTC time may not be 100% reliable
and will MAY require time updates from the server for accurate time keeping. This option should be
selected if you need accurate timing from the server.
Inside Open Log: (Check Box). If you wish to log all events from EXIT Buttons (Inside open) then
select this option. When an exit button is connected to the IN1~IN4 of the MCP040 and a user exits
with the button a log event will be generated and sent to the UNIS Server. Normally exit buttons
produce a lot of traffic and events.
Terminal ID: This is the MCP040 terminal ID in the UNIS server program. In UNIS if you do not add a
terminal with the ID that you programmed then the MCP040 will not connect to UNIS. Always make
sure the same ID you set here is added in UNIS. When you change this terminal ID and select ‘Send’
the MCP040 will disconnect from UNIS and reconnect.
Authentication Mode:.
This defines the authentication method between the MCP040 and UNIS server, and the default
is ‘1’ (SN). Each authentication method is described below:
- NS mode: When there is an active connection to the server, authentication is done through the
UNIS server. If there is no active connection to the server, the authentication is done in
the MCP040
- SN mode: Even if there is an active connection to the UNIS server, authentication is done at
the MCP040 and the result is forwarded to the server in real time.
However, in the case of 1:1 authentication, if the entered user ID is not registered
in the server, authentication is done through the server.
- NO mode: Network only Mode. Authentication is always done at the UNIS server.
- SO mode: MCP040 only Mode. Authentication is always done at the MCP040.
NOTE: When using arm/disarming function, i.e. reader is set as ACCESS+SECURITY, the
authentication will always occur locally (at MCP040), there is no server authentication for
arming or disarming.
Local: When only (1) MCP040 is used. Passback exceptions will be verified at the MCP040
controller only. If Virdi terminals are connected to the MCP040 (485), all passback exceptions and
verifications will be done at the MCP040.
Server/Global: When UNIS is used to monitor multiple MCP040s or Virdi Terminals. Pass back
exceptions will be verified at UNIS server only.
Each reader must be setup for passback (see UNIS Reader Configuration).
Type:
Disabled - Select this if passback is not used for this reader.
Hard – Hard passback, if a user is in passback violation the reader will not allow access.
Soft – Soft passback, if a user is in passback violation the reader will allow access; however
UNIS will log the authentication as Passback Warning.
Timed – Timed passback, if a user is in passback violation the reader will not allow access
until the ‘Lockout duration’ period. The lockout duration is started after the last successful
transaction period. (NOTE: This mode is not available in server passback )
Lockout Duration:
This is the time period 00:00:00 ~ 23:59:59 in which the user will be locked out if in passback
violation. The MCP040 will start the timer when the last successful transaction for that user
occurred. The user cannot access the reader again until the time period has expired. This is a soft
passback condition, allowing the user access after a period of time. UNIS will log the event as
Passback Warning.
Note: If using local anti-passback the user’s location will be unknown in UNIS, and the location
cannot be set. The user’s passback status can be reset when the user is edited from UNIS and
downloaded to the MCP040.
A lock can be programmed to OPEN or LOCK on specific days, hours or holidays. This may be used
in cases where the building may be closed on weekends and no access is allowed, or if strict access
control is not important then a schedule can be setup to open the door during normal business hours.
Lock Terminal: Select the time period in which the selected lock will always be locked. Even normal
access with a card will not unlock the lock. Select the period with the selection box (weekends,
weekdays, holidays, etc) then select apply. A RED marking will appear during the times/days you
selected. Select ‘Send’ to send these settings to the MCP040.
Open Door: Select the time period in which the selected lock will always be unlocked (opened). The
door will not be locked again (normal state) until the time period has expired. Select the period with
the selection box (weekends, weekdays, holidays, etc) then select apply. A BLUE marking will appear
during the times/days you selected. Select ‘Send’ to send these settings to the MCP040.
Schedules can be setup to activate an output on the MCP040 at specific times. PGM1-PGM4.
When the partition is Auto-arming, a 60 second warning will occur before the arming. The readers
assigned to the partition will emit a warning tone. After the 60 seconds expires the partition will arm
without any exit delay.
The MCP040 will report all ‘Access Events’ and ‘Alarm Events’ real-time (as they occur) to UNIS.
• All Access Events will be in the ‘Authentication Log List’
• All Alarm Events will be in the ‘Event List’
The event list reports all UNIS events and MCP040 events. If there is a UNIS related event only (not
reported by MCP040, then the ‘Partition’ and ‘Account’ column will be blank.
If the event is reported by the MCP040 the ‘Partition’ will be the Partition Number 1-4, and the
‘Account’ will be the account number which was programmed in the partition setup area. This
reporting format is an industry standard contact ID format.
ID: Identify user, zone or area. 000-999 (System events, always 0). If user number is more than 999
the maximum will only be 999.
The current zone, reader, lock, partition state can be monitored from UNIS. These status updates are
real-time.
In UNIS, select the ‘Real-Time Monitoring’ tab on the left, then right click on the controller.
Partition:
• Arm/Disarm Status – Partitions 1-4
Zone:
• Zone Status – Zones 1-8
• Normal ( closed OK), Trouble(fault, shorted wire), Open ( zone is opened), N/A ( zone type set
as unused)
Lock:
• Lock Open/Closed Status – Locks 1-4
Reader:
• Reader Status – Reader ID ( 0-7)
• N/A ( not enrolled, OK), Fault( enrolled successfully however MCP040 cannot communicate),

When the Status icon on the Terminal Status display shows a RED with WHITE broken line, this
indicates a trouble on the MCP040. Check the Event List for detail trouble condition(s).
Troubles are:
AC Loss, Low Battery, Reader Tamper, Reader Fault, Bell Trouble or Fire trouble.

In cases where you need to reset all parameters to factory default values you can use a hardware
default method. This may be needed if you lost your network settings and you do not know your
MCP040 IP or Terminal ID. You can always refer to section 3.1.1.4 ‘UDP Setup’ for finding terminal
information. See Installation Guide for details how to factory initialize.
