1.0 Introduction

1. Each Geokey access point requires an enabled reader port in the Borealis system. For example; a 2-door controller will have two reader ports - providing you with 2 unique Geokey access points - However, it is possible to also have a normal, physical access control readers connected to the controller's same bus (to provide general access control via Borealis at the same time).
   
2. Prior to setting up the Geokey integration, ensure all the required controllers are online in Borealis.
   
3. To setup the Geokey integration, you must log into the Borealis client as the system owner.

6. Locate the Access Points section and click the ADD ACCESS POINTS button.
   
7. The add access point form will appear.
   
   Note: All items marked with an asterisk are mandatory fields.
   
   
   
   
8. Enter a name for the new access point.
   
9. From the Hardware Type drop-down list, select Keri.
   
10. For the Hardware ID you will need to return to Borealis:
    
    - From within the Borealis client, click on the Status button if you are on the home screen - or from the main menu select Home >> Status button.
    - A list of all hubs, controllers and readers will appear.
    - If there are readers physically connected to the controller they will show as online. If there are no general access control readers connected to the controllers then the readers will show as offline.
    
    
11. Copy the Reader ID from the Borealis status page.
    
    
    
    
12. Paste the Reader ID into the Hardware ID field of the new access point form.
    
    
    
    
13. Enter the exact address information for where the reader/door is located.
    
14. When you enter the correct address details, the latitude and longitude fields should infill automatically. If these fields do not infill then you would have to use Google Maps to obtain correct values for the exact location of the reader.
    
15. Next, you should enter the geofence distance (in metres). For example, enter 10 for the Geofence distance to be 10 metres. The geofence is a virtual perimeter around the access point (reader). When a cardholder is within that geofence distance they will be able to use their smart phone to unlock the door.
