Overview
Chapter 2 Installing and Configuring the Cisco Physical Access Gateway
The Cisco Physical Access Gateway (Figure 2-1) is installed near each door to provide access control
and connections for card readers, door locks and other input and output devices. The Gateway is
connected to the Cisco Physical Access Manager using an Ethernet connection to the IP network. Power
is supplied through a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection, or using a DC power source. Each Gateway
includes connections for up to two Wiegand door readers, three input devices, and three output devices.
Optional expansion modules are available to add additional doors and devices to the Gateway.

1 Power—Two-pin connector for Voltage In (VIN) and Ground (GND) to connect a 12 to 24 VDC
external power source.
2 CAN—A three-wire CAN bus is used to connect additional modules, including the Cisco Reader
Module, Cisco Input Module, and Cisco Output Module.
Note Modules are connected using the CAN1 interface. The CAN2 interface is not supported
in this release.
3 SVR (Server)—When the LED is steady green, the Gateway is connected to a Cisco PAM
appliance.
4 Fast Ethernet interfaces—There are two 10/100 BASE-TX RJ-45 connectors:
• ETH 0: connects the Gateway to the network. ETH 0 also supports Power over Ethernet
(PoE) for the device (optional).
• ETH 1: connects the device to a PC to access the device configuration web page.
5 Serial interface—The RS-485 interface is not supported in this release.
6 Wiegand interface—This interface can be configured as the following:
• One 10-pin Wiegand/clock and data reader interface to connect a single door reader.
• Two 5-pin Wiegand/clock and data interfaces to connect two door readers (for installations
where a 5-pin interface is sufficient).
Note Disconnect power from the Gateway or Reader module before connecting reader devices
to the modules. Connecting a reader device when the modules are powered can cause the
Gateway or Reader module to malfunction.

7 Input interfaces—Three input interfaces used to sense the contact closure. Each input can be
configured as supervised or unsupervised and can be configured to sense a Normally Open (NO)
or Normally Closed (NC) contact.
• An unsupervised input senses a simple contact closure state, including Normal or Alarm.
When connected to open contacts, the terminal voltage range is 4V to 5V. For closed
contacts, the voltage range is 0V to 0.7V.
• A supervised input senses four contact states, including Normal, Alarm, Open and Short.
These inputs require 1K End-Of-Line (EOL) termination resistors installed at the contacts
(two resistors are included in the accessory kits for each Input port).
8 Output interfaces—Three Form C (5A @ 30V) relay output interfaces. Each output connection
can be configured as either Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO).
• C & NO connection: The relay is normally open. The circuit is closed when triggered.
• C & NC connection: The relay is normally closed. The circuit is opened when triggered.
Notes:
• Install surge protection between the output device and the Cisco PAM module, as described
in the “Installing Surge Suppressors on Output Device Connections” section on page 1-13.
• Common (C) is always used, and either NC or NO is used to complete the connection.
• All Generic Output devices installed in Cisco PAM systems prior to release 1.1.0, were
connected to the Gateway, Reader, or Output modules with the wiring reversed. If upgrading
to Cisco PAM release 1.1.0 from an earlier release, disconnect all Generic Output devices
and do the following:

–
Connect Normally Open devices to the N.O. and C connectors on the Gateway, Reader,
or Output module.
–
Connect Normally Closed devices to the N.C. and C connectors on the Gateway, Reader,
or Output module.
9 PF—Power fail input: an unsupervised input that raises a “power fail” alarm when the circuit is
open. Can be configured as an additional unsupervised port. An unsupervised input indicates
only normal or alarm. The corresponding LED is red when circuit is open (when no input is
connected).
10 TM—Tamper input: an unsupervised input that raises a “tamper” alarm when the circuit is open.
Can be configured as an additional unsupervised port. An unsupervised input indicates only
normal or alarm. The corresponding LED is red when circuit is open (when no input is
connected).
11 Reset—Resets the device. See the “Resetting the Cisco Physical Access Gateway” section on
page 2-25 for more information.

Installing the Cisco Physical Access Gateway
Installing the Cisco Physical Access Gateway
• Before You Begin, page 2-7
• Procedure, page 2-7
Before You Begin
Before you install a Cisco Physical Access Gateway, verify the following:
• Verify that the module has access to a power source. See the “Power Options and Requirements”
section on page 1-12 for more information.
• Verify that you have the necessary mounting brackets or other hardware. See the “Mounting a
Gateway or Optional Module” section on page 1-14.
Procedure
To install the Cisco Physical Access Gateway, perform the following procedure:
Step 1 Mount the Gateway to a wall. See the “Mounting a Gateway or Optional Module” section on page 1-14
for more information.
Step 2 Connect the Gateway to a power source.
• If using a DC power source, insert a two-pin connector plug into the DC power port (Figure 2-4),
and connect the Voltage In (VIN) and ground (GND) wires.
• If using PoE, connect an Ethernet cable from the IP network to the ETH0 port (Figure 2-4).
See the “Power Options and Requirements” section on page 1-12 for more information.

2 DC power Voltage In (VIN)—Connects the DC Voltage In (VIN) wire to the Gateway.
3 ETH0 for PoE—Connects the Ethernet cable from the Access Layer switch to the Gateway. To
use this power option, the switch must support PoE.
Step 3 Connect one or two door reader devices to the Wiegand interface using one of the following
configurations:
• Connect a single door reader using all 10 Wiegand interface pins.
• Connect one or two door readers using 5-pin Wiegand interface connections (for installations where
a 5-pin interface is sufficient).
