# Mercury Controller Details

## A Tour of the Mercury Controller Page: Topology, Network, Security, Firmware, Linked Doors and Elevator

The controller details page is where you see and manage a Mercury controller and everything wired to it. Go to **Hardware** › **ACUs** and click the controller's name.

The header shows the model, serial numbers, firmware and site, with **Connection** and **Controller** status badges. **Resync** resends the configuration to the panel. The **Advanced ▾** menu offers **Download wiring diagram**, **Change Site**, **Health Check**, **Reboot**, **Deep reprovision…** and **Delete**.

> **Note:** If doors stop working after a change, use **Resync** first. Use **Deep reprovision** only if cards are missing or access is being denied.

### 1. Topology

A banner reminds you about RS-485 termination: enable the 120 Ω jumper on the controller and on the last sub-panel only.

- The bus monitor shows **RECONCILE**, **ONLINE** boards, **ISSUES** and **BUS BAUD** (38,400).
- The **SIZING** card shows doors configured, reader ports on the bus and boards used.
- **Add subpanel** and **Discover bus** add modules. See [Adding Sub-Panels](https://help.alocity.com/knowledge/mercury-adding-sub-panels?hsLang=en).
- Click a board to see its **READER PORTS**, **INPUTS** and **RELAY OUTPUTS**. Each port shows **free** or the name of what it's assigned to. Click a port to configure it: see [Configuring Readers](https://help.alocity.com/knowledge/mercury-configuring-readers?hsLang=en), [Configuring Inputs](https://help.alocity.com/knowledge/mercury-configuring-inputs?hsLang=en) and [Configuring Relay Outputs and Locks](https://help.alocity.com/knowledge/mercury-configuring-relay-outputs-and-locks?hsLang=en).

### 2. Network

Shows the controller's **IP Address**, **Netmask**, **Default Gateway**, **DNS Server** and **DHCP** setting. These are read-only for now. Keep DHCP on and use a DHCP reservation for a fixed address. See [3. Mercury Intelligent Controller Network Requirements](https://help.alocity.com/knowledge/alocity-aivr-network-requirements-0?hsLang=en).

### 3. Security

- **TLS Encryption**: encrypts the link between the controller and Alocity.
- **OSDP Security Key**: the key used for OSDP Secure readers.
- **Tamper Response**: **Lock door + alarm** or **Alarm only**.

### 4. Firmware

Shows the current and latest firmware and the cardholder count. **Sync Schedules** and **Sync Holidays** resend schedules and holidays to the panel.

### 5. Linked Doors

Lists every door wired to this controller, with its sub-panel, port, site and status.

### 6. Elevator

Sets up elevator control on this controller. See [Elevator Access Control Overview](https://help.alocity.com/knowledge/elevator-access-control-overview?hsLang=en).
