To work with the Emulator ACFA integration module, you must install and configure the AxACFA feature. For more details, see Connecting and configuring the AxACFA feature.

To configure the parent object of the Emulator ACFA module, do the following:

  1. Create the Emulator ACFA parent object on the basis of the Axacfa object on the Hardware tab of the System settings window.

  2. Go to the settings panel of the Emulator ACFA object.

  3. The Address field automatically contains the local IP address of the computer that you can change if necessary. In future versions, it will be possible to specify the IP address of the computer for remote connection and control of the emulator.

  4. In the Auth token field, specify a token for logging into Swagger software—a framework that allows you to automatically describe APIs based on its code.
  5. Click the Configuration settings button. As a result, a window with the configuration settings of the Emulator ACFA module opens.

    1. In the ACS units field, specify the number of ACS (Access Control System) objects you want to create. The default value is 20. One object consists of one lock and two readers (child objects). You cannot change the number of child readers of one lock.

    2. In the FSA units field, specify the number of FSA (Fire and Security Alarm) of the Sensor object. The default value is 20.
    3. In the Fence units field, specify the number of PID (Perimeter Intrusion Detection System) of the Fence object. The default value is 20.
    4. In the Loop units field, specify the number of Loop objects. The default value is 20.
    5. In the Zone group units field, specify the number of Zone group objects. The default value is 20.
    6. In the Download delay, s field, specify the interval in seconds between the creation of two objects. The default value is 0. We don't recommend changing this value.
    7. From the Generate exception drop-down list, select when a download error is generated: None (default), At beginning, In the middle, At the end.
    8. Click the Approve button to save the configuration settings. Click the Cancel button to cancel the changes.
  6. Click the Server settings button. The Server settings window opens.
    1. In the Server port field, specify the port number via which Swagger software is available.

    2. From the Server is active drop-down list, select Enabled to activate Swagger software. By default, Swagger is disabled (the Disabled value is selected).
    3. From the Enable swagger UI drop-down list, select Enabled to activate Swagger software in the browser. By default, Swagger is disabled in the browser (the Disabled value is selected).
    4. Click the Approve button to save the server settings. Click the Cancel button to cancel the changes.
  7. Click the Apply button to save the settings of the Emulator ACFA parent object.

  8. Click the Download configuration button to automatically build the hardware tree according to the configuration specified in the previous steps:

After you download the configuration, six inputs and six outputs are created on the basis of the Loop object.

Configuration of the Emulator ACFA parent object is complete.
