To power down the system, do the following:
            Clear any alarms in memory. 
           Enter “MASTER CODE + [#] + [*] + [9] at the Base unit, then wait until the four


LEDs to the right of the Power LED turn off before removing power.
To power back up: Unplug the power supply from the Base unit, then plug it back in.

On the Base Unit: [Master Code][#][#]
[Code] + [1 - Off]
To Enter test mode: [Master code] + [5 - TEST] + [1]
The external sounder should sound for about 1 second then turn off.

To Exit test mode: [code] + [1 - OFF]

The keypad sounds a single beep about every 60 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the Test mode.
If the test mode is inadvertently left active, it automatically turns off after 30 minutes. During the final five minutes, the keypad will emit a double beep every 30 seconds
When the Keypad is generating a periodic beep (once per minute), pressing the [*] key provides more information.
When the system is armed and there is a trouble condition, the Keypad displays “Device Trouble”. Pressing the [*] key provides more information

 

Brivo Edge Reader Issues


If the customer cards have stop working or the system is no longer logging activities do the following:

1. Remove the Edge by removing the screw from the unit to free it from the bracket as seen above.

2. Once opened locate the tamper jumper and remove it .

3. Place the same jumper over the two left pins of the P65 header as shown in the figure above. 

4.  Reboot the Edge device to change all of the configuration settings back to the factory default settings.

5.  After the LED turns amber, remove the jumper from the P65 header and return it to the Tamper header.


The Edge device will take approximately 60 seconds to reset following the removal of the jumper. Once the device finishes rebooting, the LED will blink green.  


At this point the panel has had its network defaulted and username / password reset. The user card database is still intact.


By default the edge is set to communicate network over DHCP meaning obtain an IP address automatically if the network allows that.

You should be able to add new cards see new activity and view past activity as well.

All existing Client cards should work as they did before.
