How to setup Speco Access Control Panels in a Server/Client configuration

This is a step-by-step article on setting up multiple Access Control panels in a Server/Client configuration.


  • Log into the Server Control panel
  • Logging in for the first time, you will be directed to the license page.
    • Here, you will find the MAC address of the panel displayed, while other fields will appear blank.
    • Below this information, you will see options for Network Settings, Edit, and Print.
    • Click on the "Edit" button
  • Click on "Client Key", then click "Apply License Key".
    • After doing so, a confirmation box will appear displaying the message “192.168.0.250 says Success.”
    • Click "OK" then click,  "Apply License Key" button once more to finalize the process.




    • Next, a new page will pop up where you will need to enter the identical information that was previously input into the server panel.



    • After entering the required information, click on the "Apply" button to submit the changes.
      • A confirmation message will appear, indicating that the panel has been successfully registered as a client panel. 

    • After clicking "OK," select "Close" to return to the main license page.
      • From there, proceed to click on "Network Settings" to continue configuring your device.

    • Under the "Network Information" section, manually assign an IP address to the client panel, ensuring it is configured to connect to the network effectively.

      • Following this, navigate to the "Server Information" fields.
      • In the "Server IP*" field, enter the IP address of the server panel.
      • In the "Port*" field, input the HTTP port number of the server panel.
      • In the "ID" and "Password" section, provide the login credentials for the server panel.
      • Once you have filled in all the required fields, click the "Save" button.

    • Next, log into the server panel.

      • This action will direct you to the dashboard, where you can manage and configure the server settings effectively.



    • Go to Settings > Client Management



    • This page shows a list of all client panels that are currently linked to the Server Panel.
    • To the right of this list, you will find four icons that represent different action options. The first icon functions as the connect/disconnect button.
    • Initially, this button displays a disconnected status. When you click on it to establish a connection, the client panel will successfully link to the server, and you will observe the corresponding door of the client panel appearing on the Server Panel dashboard.
    • This step effectively completes the connection process between the client panel and the server panel.
