# Setup
{% hint style="success" %}
This setup guide is only for flo Vehicle Access Control V2.2 and above. [Looking for Card Reader Pro's setup guide?](/docs/products/flovac/setup-crp.md)
{% endhint %}
***
## Our recommended setup
In this section, we'll guide you to set up your system with our recommended setup.
Our recommended setup uses:
* 1x Card Reader (DWProx/Card Reader Pro | optional)
* 1x LPR camera
* 1x Flex Gate (Normal/Folding)
* 1x Welcome Screen (optional)
Assuming you have already got your lane ready, follow the steps below.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Position your Flex Gate
Position your Flex Gate to the left side of the lane like the picture below. To learn how to scale your gate, refer to the [#scaling-your-gates](#scaling-your-gates "mention") section.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Position your Welcome Screen
If you are not using a Welcome Screen, skip this step.
Position your Welcome Screen in front of your Flex Gate's hub and rotate it to face the driver when they approach. Your setup should now look like the picture below.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Position your LPR camera
Position your LPR camera next to your Welcome Screen (if any) and ensure that it is not blocking the driver's view of the Welcome Screen.
After positioning your LPR camera, move and scale the `DetectionArea` part to the center of your lane and in front of your Flex Gate's barrier.
Your setup should now look like the picture below where the blue box is the detection area.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Position your card reader
Position the Card Reader to the left side of the lane and rotate it to face the driver's window. If you're using a Welcome Screen, ensure that the driver's view of the Welcome Screen isn't blocked. Optionally, also keep it out of the LPR camera's view to keep it realistic.
Your setup should now look like the picture below.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% endhint %}
In this section, we'll guide you on how to scale your Flex Gate's arm. As there are 2 different types of Flex Gates, please refer to the correct section for the Flex Gate you want to scale.

{% step %}
### Scale the arm
Select the `Arm` part and scale it to your desired length.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### (Optional) Duplicate the stripes

## Configuration
Each zone is configured separately. The configuration module can be found under the Network as `ZoneConfig`. All configurations have annotations to guide you.
### Authorization function
{% hint style="info" %}
Noren does not provide any scripting-related assistance for this configuration. If you suspect that there is a bug with this function, you can [contact us](/docs/support/support/contact.md) to report it.
{% endhint %}
In the configuration module, you'll find a function called `Authorization`.
The `Authorization` function can be customized to tell the system whether to open or not open any Flex Gates in the zone to allow a `Player` to enter.
To open the gate:
```luau
return true
```
To not open the gate:
```luau
return false
```
or
```luau
return "Reason why they were declined"
```
