Reader Expanders | Reader 1-2 PIM Config

Panel Interface Modules (PIMs) and ENGAGE Gateways (GWEs) are used as the communication interface between wireless locks and Protege controllers for Allegion wireless locking integration. These tabs allow you to add and configure the PIMs and GWEs connected to the reader expander ports for the integration.

These tabs are only visible when the corresponding Reader 1/2 Network Type is set to Allegion. For more information and programming instructions, see Application Note 272: Allegion Integration with Protege WX.
