2 Hardware Installation

Hardware Overview

Wi-Q AMS runs remotely with no need for hard-wiring, creating a simple, innova-

tive approach to access control in any environment.

Note Once Wireless Controllers are installed, you will need to sign them on to AMS

software. Therefore, it is appropriate to install the software before or concurrent

with hardware installation. For more information, see “Sign on and Conﬁgure

Controllers (Task 10)” on page 84.

Figure 3 is a block diagram showing various conﬁgurations. Wi-Q AMS supports

all Wireless Controllers via Portal Gateways (A); and existing Prox/Wiegand,

RQE, door strike, and door monitor switch conﬁgurations (B). Conﬁguration types

are brieﬂy described in the following paragraphs. Full installation instructions are

provided in the following sections.
