Registering Proxy
You have to set up the firmware and then configure the firmware with the RSP. The devices that are setup are
Proxy, Controllers, ACIB, Relays, Sensors and Readers. Refer to the Glossary for the explanation of each of the
devices.
Each reader is connected to an Access Control Input-Output Board (ACIB). Up to four readers can be connected
to one ACIB. The ACIB is connected to the Access Control Controller board (ACCB) and up to two ACIB’s can be
connected to the board. ACCB stores the actual configurations. All the access decisions are taken by ACCB. ACCB
communicates with the Risco Service platform (RSP) through a Proxy. Proxy provides a communication channel
between the ACCB/ACIB and the RSP. This includes proxy to RSP (like events) and RSP to ACCB (configuration
updates) communication
Each section must have at least one primary proxy and can have one standby Proxy. The standby proxy serves as
a backup device in case of failure of the primary proxy, hence, it is recommended to have one stand by Proxy.
Each Proxy can have only one Stand by Proxy.
You have to register a proxy for a section and then only then it will be functional. In case the authentication of
users is through LDAP, then proxy will connect and authenticate through the onsite LDAP server, GSM, WN,
PSTN and other networks.
A proxy uses LAN/WAN first to communicate with the RSP Server. In case LAN/WAN is not available, then a proxy
will first connect to a dial-up (PSTN) connection and if that is not available, to a GSM connection.
You can perform the following actions:
• Register Proxy
• Add Template Proxy
• Transfer Proxy
• Replace Proxy

Register Proxy
Whenever you create a section, you need to register the proxy to it. For each section in the account, you can
have multiple proxies. Proxies need to be registered and assigned to the sections in order for them to
communicate with the RSP. When we select an account, all the sections in the account are displayed. Each
section displays the total number of proxies, controllers and doors assigned to the section. The number of
disconnected devices are displayed too.
To register Proxy:
1. Log on to ACIS. The home page appears.
