1.2 701ServerSQL & 701ClientSQL Role and Function

1.2.1 Single PC Operation Mode: 701ServerSQL & 701ClientSQL Installation under same PC
User can choose Database mode or File System mode according to needs and requirement. Built-in the same
operation user interface for both modes provides seamless upgrade from File System to Database easy and
can be done without relearning.
- File System: Easy to set up and maintain, suitable for small to medium scale system
- Database System: Suitable for complex exchange data and transaction, centralized system, and medium to
large scale system that required higher security.

First time installation or

upgrade and continue on
using File System Mode

First time installation or

upgrade and upgrade to
use Database Mode

1.2.2 Multi PC Operation Mode: 701ServerSQL installed in the main PC, 701ClientSQL
installed in office branch for user interface operation
Software version 10.2 and after, under database mode supports 701ServerSQL in single PC connecting to
701ClientSQL in multi-PC. multi-PC only required to install 701ClientSQL and ODBC Connector.
What to expect from this features:
- Multi-PC function must be under Database Mode.
- For branch office or small office that only required single or few units of controller, communication through
PC locally is not required and preparing one unit of computer is also unnecessary as the event logs and user
card data is programmable in another branch office or headquarter.
- Enhance communication speed between each Area instead of polling all hardware at once in the system.

Enable TCP-Link Client

for remote access of
701ClientSQL

NOTE
˙How to Transfer Setting Parameters & Relevant Data Back to File System Mode from Database Mode?

The message recorded in Database Mode is non reversible, we cannot read the message from 701ClientSQL
with File System Mode. The recommendation is using Export to Text File Function to record the relevant data as
txt or excel file via 701ClientSQL.
The introduction about Export to Text File Function please refer to 701ClientSQL Manual 7.1 Export to Text File

User data, Parameter Setting and etc. can use Import/Export Function to get back from Database Mode.
The introduction about Import/Export Function please refer to 701ClientSQL Manual 3. Backup

NOTE
˙User interface of database and its operation is the same like file base system, but all the data is saved on
the database.
˙When upgrading to Database Mode, the old data that is recorded on file system mode will still save under
file system format. Once you upgrade into the database, all of old data will automatically transferred to
database and cannot be converted back to file system data. For event log (msg files), you required to do
｀ Message Import´ manually from 701ServerSQL to convert the data from file system into database format.
˙If you want to preserve the old data under file system format, make a copy and stored in a safe place
(refer to 2.3.3. BACK UP DATA)
˙Data that is remain on file system base even after upgrade to database mode:
1.time attendance report such as DUTY file

Step 0. Precautions:

(1) Before wiring to Control Panel, each of Access Controller should be assigned to
a specific Sub-Node ID range 1~16, or we can only change it by the keypad after we
connect Access Controller to the AR-716-E16.
(2) Multi-door Networking Control Series’ Port is set up default value 1621, and it has
the subordinate relationship with the Access Controllers under control. LAN Setting
is for Control Panel or Access Controller Node ID, but Access Controller wire under
Control Panel is assigned as Sub-Node ID so it is not required for Access Controller to
set up in LAN setting. Only Control Panel needs to set up on LAN setting

Step 1. Setting the Controller Node ID (AR-721-H、AR-837-E)

(1) Please set up the Controller Node ID following the connection CH of AR-716-E16:
WG0: Node ID is fixed to 17 while connected and fixed to trigger the K1 Relay
WG1: Node ID is fixed to 18 while connected and fixed to trigger the K2 Relay
CH1: RS-485 Reader Node ID must be set up from 03~08
CH2: RS-485 Reader Node ID must be set up from 09~16
(2) Setting the Controller Node ID (ex. AR-721H)
Please set up the Node ID as the rule above, we can change it with the command below,
1. Enter the Program Mode: ＊123456#
2. Set the Node ID to 003: 00*003#

Step 3. After the communication is successful, you can also modify the Node ID of this access
controller in "New Node ID" field.
Step 4. Door Relay: Door Relay Time of the access controller, after access identification is
successful, controller will trigger the relay to release lock and how long the lock is being
released to indicate door open is determined by Door Relay Time.
The setting of Door Relay Time is based on what type of electric lock installed onsite.
Recommended setting:
1. Fail-Safe type of lock such as Electric Bolt Lock and Magnetic Lock is 15 seconds
(recommended to combine with Auto Relock function)
2. Fail-Secure type of lock such as Electric Strike and Cabinet Lock is 0.2 seconds.
Default value is 7 seconds.
Pulse setting (short-term release): range 001~600 seconds, if set as 01-0.9seconds enter 601~609
Latch setting (output continuously): enter 000

Step 5. Open too long: or also known as Door Close Time or Door Open Waiting Time. After the period
of door relay time trigger relay and open the door, the door contact will start detecting the door
status; however, sometimes the door is not be closed in time, so the door close time gives users
a buffer time (delay time) to close the door properly before the door contact starts detecting
it as Door Open Too Long.
For example: Default value of door open too long is 15 seconds (default), the door contact will start
detecting after Door Relay Time (10 sec) + Door Close Time (15 sec), and the user should close
the door properly within the total period (25 sec).
Note: Door Open Too Long will not be acknowledge if activating Auto Relock function, as
door will relock immediately whenever door contact detect door is closed.
Default value is 15 seconds.
Step 6. Alarm Relay: When alarm event is triggered, alarm will output continuously for a period of time
according to Alarm Relay Time.
Pulse setting (short-term release): range 001~600 seconds, if set as 01-0.9seconds enter 601~609
Latch setting (output continuously): enter 000
Default value is 15 seconds.
Step 7. Armed Delay: After activating Arming mode, access controller enter Arming mode after a period of
Arming Delay Time, which gives users a buffer time to exit without triggering the alarm.
Default value is 1 second.
Step 8. Alarm Delay: Before Alarm Event is triggered, there is a set of time period between conditions
that triggered the alarm and the alarming event which is called Alarm Delay Time. Alarm
Delay Time gives users a buffer time to turn off the alarm before the beeper is sounding or an
alarm signal is sent to the security guards.
Default value is 1 second.
Step 9. Edit Pwd: Master Code or Programming Code of the Access Controller can be changed from this
field. Default Master Code is 123456.
Step 10. Armed Pwd: There are three method to enabling Arming Mode 1. Enter programming mode and
exit programming mode by entering **# 2. Swipe Master Range card 3. Enter Arming Password.
To enter the Arming Password there are two procedures:

3 Open too long: or also known as Door Close Time or Door Open Waiting Time. After the
period of door relay time trigger relay and open the door, the door contact will start detecting the
door status; however, sometimes the door is not be closed in time, so the door close time gives
users a buffer time (delay time) to close the door properly before the door contact starts
detecting it as Door Open Too Long.
For example: Default value of door open too long is 15 seconds (default), the door contact will
start detecting after Door Relay Time (10 sec) + Door Close Time (15 sec), and the user should
close the door properly within the total period (25 sec).
Note: Door Open Too Long will not be acknowledge if activating Auto Relock function,
as door will relock immediately whenever door contact detect door is closed. Default value is 15
seconds.

Time, so there might be a gap between closing the door and the door being actually locked. By
enabling the Auto Relock function which will let the door relock immediately whenever
detecting the door is closed by the door contact. This setting is suggested for fail-safe lock
installation such as electric bolt and magnetic lock.

6 Close Stop Alarm: There are three options to stop alarming event 1. Swipe valid card 2. Press
