To edit the information associated with an input:
The Display Name is used to uniquely identify the input to you.
!U! The delay sets the length of time the controller waits to unlock the door after the input has switched, whilst the duration sets the length of time the door remains unlocked.
Valid values are 0 to 0.9s in 0.1s steps, and 1 - 240s in 1s steps.
!U! Select from the drop list the physical terminal (as labelled on the controller hardware) that this input is to represent. Note that each Access Manager input corresponds to one physical input terminal. If the terminal you wish to use is missing from the list, that is because it is assigned to another Access Manager input. If that is the case you should assign the other input a different terminal (select "None" to free up a terminal, allowing you to swap terminals used by two inputs).
!U! Use the Idle State slider to select the idle state of the input. This is best explained by example. Consider a dry contact switch such as that provided by a touch-to-exit switch. If you connect the NO terminal on the touch-to-exit unit to the Exit Switch 1 terminal on the controller, and the COM terminal on the touch-to-exit unit to the 0V terminal adjacent to the Exit Switch 1 terminal, then touching the touch-to-exit unit will cause the Exit Switch 1 terminal to be connected to the 0V terminal, so the voltage on the Exit Switch 1 terminal will now be 0 Volts. When you take your hand away from the touch-to-exit unit (the "idle condition"), the circuit will go open circuit and the voltage applied to Exit Switch 1 will be whatever you have set on the Idle State slider. If in this case you set the slider to 0V, the voltage on Exit Switch 1 would always be 0V and the touching of the touch-to-exit switch would not be detected. Therfore you would select the idle state to be +12V. The various possible combinations are shown below:
| Switching Arrangement | Detect On | Switch Terminal | Controller Terminal | Idle State |
| Normally Open dry contact | Operate | NO | Any input | Open |
| COM | 0V | |||
| Normally Closed dry contact | Operate | NC | Any input | Closed |
| COM | +12V | |||
| Normally Open dry contact | Release | NO | Any input | Closed |
| COM | +12V | |||
| Normally Closed dry contact | Release | NC | Any input | Open |
| COM | 0V | |||
| 12Và0Và12V (not recommended*) | 12Và0V | Output | Any input | Open |
| 0V | 0V | |||
| 0Và12Và0V (not recommended*) | 12Và0V | Output | Any input | Closed |
| 0V | 0V |
* This arrangement is not recommended as it provides no electrical isolation between units. It may fail to work, and it may damage one or both units. A better arrangement would be to interpose a relay.
