Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can the A01 be powered by PoE?
The Akuvox A01 natively supports 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), delivering power and network connectivity over a single Cat5e/6 cable. This streamlines wiring, cuts installation overhead, and maintains a clean door setup. Where PoE infrastructure is absent, a 12V DC power source can be connected directly.
2. What credential options does the A01 support?
The terminal supports multi-frequency RFID cards along with NFC mobile credentials. This dual capability lets sites maintain traditional RFID card workflows while enabling smooth adoption of mobile access via smartphone for authorized personnel.
3. Is the A01 suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, featuring an IP65 protection rating, the unit offers robust defense against dust and water entry. It is well-suited for exposed entry points, external doors, and outdoor pedestrian gates when installed and sealed according to standard practices.
