The reader includes external control wires for the Green LED and Beeper for Wiegand
connection. You can change the default settings of the LED and Beeper by connecting these
control wires to the GV-AS Controller.
8.7 ID and Card Identifier Settings
The DFK1355 Setup AP allows you to set the reader’s ID number and card identifier. The
program can be downloaded from our website.
A single RS-485 interface on the controller can connect up to 8 readers. For the controller to
detect multiple connected readers, you must assign each one a unique ID number. The GV-
DFK1355 reader can be integrated with cloud-based access control management by
connecting to the RS-485 interface of the GV-AS Bridge controller; see 8.8 GV-Cloud Access
Control Integration.

The reader by default reads the UID (Unique Identifier) on access cards or key fobs. You can
set the reader to read GID (GeoVision Identifier) or DES-ID instead.
After downloading and installing the DFK1355 Setup AP on a PC, first connect the reader to
the PC using a RS-485 to USB converter, as illustrated below.

1. Run the Setup AP.
2. Select the COM port that is connected to the reader and click Open COM. A blue square
should appear next to the COM port box to indicate the COM port selected is correct.
3. Select an ID number for the reader. The ID number ranges from 1 to 8.
4. Select GID/DES-ID to set the reader to read the card identifier of GID or DES-ID.
5. Click Setup.
Note: If the COM is incorrect, an “Error opening serial port” message will appear. To
verify the COM port that is connected to the reader, go to Windows Device Manager. In the
Ports (COM & LPT) field, you should see the entry for Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port
and the COM number currently in use.

8.8 GV-Cloud Access Control Integration
The GV-DFK1355 reader, which has two inputs (Exit Button and Door Sensor) and one
output (Door Lock), can control a single door when combined with the GV-AS Bridge
controller and the cloud-based software GV-Cloud Access Control.

Up to 8 readers
The RS-485 interface on GV-AS Bridge can support up to 8 readers. When connecting
multiple readers, you must assign each one a unique ID so that GV-AS Bridge can recognize
them. For how to configure the reader’s ID, see 8.7 ID and Card Identifier Settings.
Input 1 of the reader is for a Door Sensor with NC (Normal Closed) and Input 2 is for an Exit
Button with NO (Normal Open); neither of these settings can be changed. The reader's
Relay is made for a Door Lock, and you can switch between NO and NC by using the
reader's switch. See 8.3 Physical Descriptions.
Note: Based on the connected output (Door Lock) on GV-DFK1355, only the door alarm
statuses "Held Open", "Force Open", and “Lockdown” are available on GV-Cloud Access
Control.
Force Open
⚫ When "Force Open" is enabled on the reader, it will continue to beep, and the alarm
status can only be cleared using GV-Cloud Access Control, or swipe a valid access
card.
Held Open
⚫ The “Held Open” alarm is generated when Held Open Time expires, which begins to
countdown when the door lock is engaged but the door remains open.
⚫ When the “Held Open” alarm is generated, the reader will continue to beep until the
door is closed.
⚫ The default values for Held Open Time and Lock Reset Time are 5 and 10 seconds
respectively. You can alter the duration using GV-Cloud Access Control.
Lockdown
⚫ When the door is forcibly locked down by GV-Cloud Access Control, you can open it
by pressing the Exit button.

Appendix
What to do if RS-485 connection fails?
When a reader successfully connects to GV-AS Controller via RS-485, the Controller's Web
interface should show a green tick under Connection Status, and the reader's LED should
switch off from a continuous red.
If the reader's LED remains red and there is no successful connection status on the Web
interface, try adding a 180 Ohms terminal resistor on the RS-485 terminal block of the
reader to extend the range of data communication.
