Configuring readers in Genea is a critical step to ensure seamless access control and system functionality. This guide provides an overview of the process, including guidelines for adding readers, selecting appropriate profiles, and troubleshooting common issues.

Genea supports various reader types, including those compatible with HID profiles. Proper configuration ensures that readers function as intended and integrate seamlessly with the access control system.

When adding a reader in Genea, it is important to determine whether the reader should be added as a lock or a regular reader. In most cases, readers should be added under the 'lock' category to ensure proper functionality. This configuration aligns with Genea's system requirements and optimizes performance.

For readers compatible with HID profiles, it is essential to select the correct profile during the initial configuration. While specific profiles like HID RP40 may be used for testing and setup, the general recommendation is to choose a profile that matches your hardware's compatibility. This ensures that the reader operates effectively within the system.

By following these guidelines, you can configure readers in Genea effectively, ensuring optimal access control and system performance.
