This is a reference page for a controller's settings. You find them at ControllersOverview[controller name], in the form below the header. Click Save to apply changes. Tillor then sends the settings to the controller. You change the name, type and group under Managing a controller.
ACL configuration
The (Access Control List) determines how the controller checks access. In other words: how the unit checks whether a card is allowed.
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ACL enabled | Set to Yes to use access control via the controller. With No, cards are scanned but not validated. By default this is No. |
| ACL priority | Local First: the controller first checks its own memory, then Tillor. Handy if the internet drops for a moment. API First: always ask Tillor directly. Default is Local First. |
| ACL timeout | How long (in milliseconds) the controller waits for Tillor before it switches over. Default is 1000 ms (1 second). |
When to use Local First?
Choose Local First if you want the controller to keep working during temporary internet outages. The controller stores access rights locally.

| Primary network connection | WiFi or Ethernet (network cable). This is the connection the controller tries first. Default is WiFi. |
