Aiphone AC-HOST – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many doors can the Aiphone AC-HOST embedded server handle?
The AC-HOST supports access control applications of up to 40 doors. If your site is larger than that, the AC-HOST is the wrong host, because it is built specifically around the Essential License tier of AC Nio.
2) Do I still need to buy an AC Nio license with the AC-HOST?
Yes. The AC-HOST is the hardware host only, a Linux-based embedded server that runs the Essential License of Aiphone's AC Nio management software. The license itself is a separate line item, so order both to get a working system.
3) Is the AC-HOST a card reader or keypad?
No. The AC-HOST is not a door-mounted device at all and reads no credentials. It is the server that runs the AC Nio management software behind the system; readers, keypads and door controllers are separate hardware. Buyers replacing a reader at the door need a different part.
4) Can I manage the AC-HOST remotely, or do I have to be on site at the server?
Management is remote and web-based, so an integrator or property manager can administer doors, users and credentials from a browser rather than standing at the unit. It talks HTTPS over IPv4 or IPv6, with TCP and UDP support.
5) What size is the AC-HOST and will it fit inside my access control enclosure?
It measures 4-1/2 inches by 4-1/2 inches by 1-1/2 inches (H x W x D), so it drops into most equipment cabinets or sits on a shelf in the IDF next to the door controllers. Leave clearance for the Ethernet drop and the USB ports on the sides.
6) What network connection does the AC-HOST need?
A single Gigabit Ethernet drop. There is no wireless claim here, so plan a hard-wired run to the unit. Addressing works on IPv4 or IPv6 and the web interface uses HTTPS, so the IT group will want a static address and a firewall rule for it.
7) What are the processor, memory and storage specs on the Aiphone AC-HOST?
A Broadcom BCM2711BO quad-core A72 running at 1.5 GHz, 2 GB of LPDDR4 SDRAM, and 16 GB of A1-rated microSD storage. That storage is the thing to note on a commissioning plan: event history lives on a microSD card, so an institutional buyer keeping long audit trails should budget for regular exports or backups.
8) Is the AC-HOST meant for commercial buildings or homes?
It is classified for commercial use, which matches how it is applied: a head-end server for a multi-door access control system of up to 40 doors in an office, school, healthcare or multi-family building.
9) How many USB ports does the AC-HOST have for peripherals like an enrollment reader?
Four in total: two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0. That covers an enrollment reader plus a keyboard or backup drive during commissioning without needing a hub.
