Assa Abloy IN120/IN220 Setup
Updated over a week ago

Verkada supports an intergration with Assa Abloy IN120 & IN220 locks. The following guide will show you how to add these locks in Command.

What you need

  • Assa Abloy IN120 or IN220 Lock.

  • Windows Machine (server) running Windows 7 and above with administrative permissions.

  • Assa Abloy DSR (Door Service Router) software installed on a Windows machine.

  • Assa Abloy LCT (Lock Configuration Tool) software installed on a portable machine Windows machine, as the locks need to be connected via a cable.

Required. You have to download the LCT & DSR from Assa Abloy's partner portal.

Note: The LCT does not need to run on the same Windows machine as the DSR.

Get started

Install the Lock Configuration Tool (LCT) and the Door Service Router (DSR) according to Assa Abloy's documentation.

Note: If you encounter issues during the installation of these tools, please contact Assa Abloy Support.

Differences between IN120 & IN220

IN120: Is an offline lock powered via Alkaline batteries that communicate with the DSR over WiFi. With the IN120:

  • Events will sync once a day automatically

  • Events can be synced manually by pressing the Comm button on the lock.

IN220: Is an online lock powered via PoE (802.3af) that communicates with the DSR over Ethernet. The IN220 supports the following features:

  • Live events

  • Remote unlock

  • Schedule override

Configure the IN120 & IN220 with the LCT

When configuring the IN120 or IN220, the lock must be configured in Persona Mode for full functionality. If it is not configured in Persona Mode, features such as double badging may not behave as intended.

After the profile has been configured on the lock, it should reach out and connect to the DSR. If you are pairing an IN120 and it does not automatically connect, try pressing the Comm button on the lock.

Note: If you are having trouble getting the lock to communicate with the DSR, you may need to create a firewall rule to allow it to do so.

The default port used by the DSR is 2571.


Add a DSR in Command

Note: The DSR Connector must be installed on the same system that the DSR is installed on.

  1. In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Access.

  2. On the left navigation, click Access Settings .

  3. Select a site from the dropdown menu.

  4. Select Door Service Routers.

  5. In the top right, click Add Door Service Router.

    1. Give the DSR a unique name.

    2. Click Create.

  6. Click Next to continue the configuration.

  7. Download the DSR Connector that matches your environment.

    The default DSR Connector's file name is 'daemon.exe'.
  8. Copy or download the 'config.yaml' file and add it to the same directory as the connector.

  9. Using a PowerShell admin account, run the following commands in the same directory as the DSR Connector:

    chdir <path to DSR Connector directory> 
    .\daemon.exe -s install
    .\daemon.exe -s start
  10. Click Done when finished.

If everything has been done correctly, we should see a green checkmark to the right of the newly configured DSR's name that indicates that it has synced with Command. You can check to ensure the Verkada Connector service runs by going to Services on the Windows machine.

Recommended. Verify recovery is enabled on the Verkada Connector service.
