Understanding Supervised and Unsupervised Input Devices
Door input devices can be supervised or unsupervised
• Unsupervised input devices have two states: active or inactive.
• Supervised input devices have four states: active, inactive, short, and open.
Unsupervised inputs have limited functionality. If a wire is cut or shorted between the input module and
a normally open device. The server cannot determine the change and the device would remains in
inactive state even when the switch is closed.
To make the input device supervised, use two 1K resistors in the circuit (Figure 1-7).
• In the inactive state, the circuit measures 2000 ohms.
• In the active state, the circuit measures 1000 ohms.
• In the short state the circuit measures 0 ohms
• In the open state the circuit measures infinite ohms.
Once the input device is supervised, CPAM can determine if a wire is cut or shorted.
NoteYou must also configure the device as supervised in CPAM. See the Cisco Physical Access Manager User
Guide for more information.

Chapter 2 Installing and Configuring the Cisco Physical Access Gateway
Configuring and Managing the Gateway Using a Direct Connection
Configuring and Managing the Gateway Using a Direct
Connection
To enable the Gateway communication with the Cisco PAM appliance, connect a PC to the ETH1 port
and use a web browser to enter basic network settings, as described in this section. You can also use the
web administration tool to perform basic administration and monitoring tasks, such as upgrading the
module firmware or displaying the module serial number.
This section includes the following information:
• Understanding Network Time Protocol (NTP) Settings
• Connecting a PC to the Gateway
• Entering the Gateway Network Settings
• Changing the User Password
• Upgrading the Gateway Firmware Using a Direct Connection
• Displaying Serial Numbers and Other Information
TipYou can also use the Cisco PAM desktop software to enter network settings and upgrade firmware
images. See the “Configuring the Gateway Using the Cisco Physical Access Manager” section on
page 2-23.
Understanding Network Time Protocol (NTP) Settings
Cisco Systems strongly recommends using a network time protocol (NTP) server to synchronize the date
and time clock on each Gateway module, and on the Cisco PAM appliance. This ensures that events and
messages between the server and the Gateway modules are in sync. If the time and date are not
synchronized, inconsistent system behavior can occur.
We strongly recommend using the same NTP server setting for the Cisco PAM appliance, and for all
Gateway modules.
• Gateways can receive the NTP server setting from a DHCP server, or by using the Cisco PAM
desktop software.
–
To enter the Gateway DHCP settings, see the “Entering the Gateway Network Settings” section
on page 2-17.
–
If DHCP is used to define the Gateway NTP server, any NTP settings defined using the
Cisco PAM desktop software will not apply (the DHCP configuration takes precedence).
–
To enter the NTP setting for a single Gateway using Cisco PAM desktop software, choose
Hardware from the Doors menu, right-click a Gateway module, and choose Set Gateway
Address.
OL-20932-02
–
Beginning with Cisco PAM Release 1.3.0, you can also change the NTP server setting for
multiple Gateways (Right-click the Access GW Driver and choose the Set NTP Server
command). See the Cisco Physical Access Manager User Guide for instructions.
• To enter the NTP setting on the Cisco PAM server, use the Cisco PAM web administration tool. See
the Cisco Physical Access Manager User Guide for instructions.
Cisco Physical Access Gateway User Guide
2-15
Configuring and Managing the Gateway Using a Direct Connection
NoteOther systems that are integrated with Cisco PAM, such as the Video Surveillance Manager (Cisco
VSM), should use the same NTP server setting.
