2. Firmware Update for GV-AS200 Controller
Since the GV-AS200 Controller is equipped with Ethernet Module, the firmware update
includes two procedures. First you need to update the version of GV-AS200 Controller and
later the version of Ethernet Module.
Depending on the supplied accessory, there are two possible methods to update the firmware
of your GV-AS200 Controller with Ethernet Module:
1. Firmware Update without GV-ASKeypad
2. Firmware Update with GV-ASKeypad

8. Configuring Anti-Passback across Multiple GV-AS200
Controllers
Requirements
• The communication mode between ASManager and GV-AS200 Controller is Ethernet.
• The firmware of GV-AS200 Controller is V1.1.0.0 or above.
Here we use three GV-AS200 Controllers as example to explain how to combine the three
door controllers together to operate the anti-passback (APB) function. Since the
anti-passback function must be executed in TCP/IP connection, every controller has a unique
IP address. When the two controllers are connected for the anti-passback, an APB IP address
is then applied for interaction.
For example, Controller No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 are combined in sequence, as illustrated
below.
IP of Controller No. 1 is 192.168.0.101; APB IP of Controller No. 1 is the IP of Controller No. 2.
IP of Controller No. 2 is 192.168.0.102; APB IP of Controller No. 2 is the IP of Controller No. 3.
IP of Controller No. 3 is 192.168.0.103; APB IP of Controller No. 3 is the IP of Controller No.1.
Controller No. 1 Controller No. 2 Controller No. 3
IP:192.168.0.101 IP:192.168.0.102 IP:192.168.0.103
APB IP:192.168.0.102 APB IP:192.168.0.103 APB IP:192.168.0.101

2. Access the AS200 Setting page of the Controller No. 2 configuration interface. In the
Anti-Passback section, select Enable and set Info IP to the IP address of Controller No. 3,
e.g. 192.168.0.103.
3. Access the AS200 Setting page of the Controller No. 3 configuration interface. In the
