Summary Steps The following steps are an example of the main installation and configuration tasks for a Cisco Physical Access Control system. The exact procedures and order of installation for your system may vary. To ensure proper operation, perform a test installation of all equipment on a lab bench before actual installation: use Cisco PAM to configure the Gateways and all peripheral devices including locks, readers, and sensors.

• C & NC connection: The relay is normally closed. The circuit is opened when triggered. Notes: • Install surge protection between the output device and the Cisco PAM module. See the Cisco Physical Access Gateway User Guide for instructions.
Wall Mounting a Gateway or Optional Module Each Cisco Physical Access Gateway and optional module includes two mounting brackets and four screws to mount the gateway to the wall. Figure 3 shows the three options for attaching the included wall-mount brackets to a module.
See Wall Mounting a Gateway or Optional Module, page 7. Reader Module Overview and Port Descriptions The Cisco Reader Module includes ports for connecting up to two doors and associated input and output devices, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4...

• A supervised input senses four contact states, including Normal, Alarm, Open and Short. These inputs require 1K End-Of-Line (EOL) termination resistors installed at the contacts (two resistors are included in the accessory kits for each Input port). Refer to Cisco Physical Access Gateway User Guide for instructions to install the termination resistors.
