1 Summary Steps
The following steps are an example of the main installation and configuration tasks for a Cisco Physical Access Control system.
The exact procedures and order of installation for your system may vary.
Tip To ensure proper operation, perform a test installation of all equipment on a lab bench before actual installation: use
Cisco PAM to configure the Gateways and all peripheral devices including locks, readers, and sensors. This allows any
issues to be resolved before the equipment is installed at the various access points.
1. Unpack and mount the Cisco Physical Access Gateway.
2. Unpack and mount optional reader, input or output modules, if necessary.
3. Connect door readers, input and output devices to the Cisco Physical Access Gateway or optional modules.
4. Connect power to the Cisco Physical Access Gateway and any optional modules.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable from a PC to the ETH1 interface on the Gateway module.
Note To enter the Gateway initial configuration, be sure to connect your PC to the ETH1 port. The ETH0 port is used
for network communication.
6. Open a web browser on your PC and enter https://192.168.1.42. This URL opens the web-based configuration page.
7. Enter the default username and password:
default username: gwadmin
default password: gwadmin
Enter the Network settings, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Network Settings for the Cisco Physical Access Gateway
8. Enter the ETH0 Configuration settings. The ETH0 port is used for network communications with the Cisco PAM appliance.
a. If a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is configured on your IP network, select the DHCP check
box for ETH0 to automatically configure the required IP network settings, including IP address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway. The DHCP check box is selected by default.
b. (Optional) If a DHCP server is not used to assign IP address settings, enter the following information in the ETH0 fields:
2 78-18554-05
–
IP address: Enter the IP address of the Cisco Physical Access Gateway.
–
Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask.
–
Gateway: Enter the IP gateway address.
9. (Optional) Enter the DNS Server address if names (not IP addresses) are used for the CPAM address.
10. Enter the Cisco PAM Configuration:
a. Enter the Cisco PAM IP address (IP address or name) to enable Gateway communication with the appliance.
b. Enter the port number for the Cisco PAM appliance. The port number must be greater than 1024 and less 65535. The
default is 8020.
Tip DHCP can also be configured to supply the Gateway with the IP address of the Cisco PAM appliance by configuring
option 150 in the DHCP response. The Cisco PAM appliance TCP port number can be provided by DHCP option 151
of the DHCP response.
c. Enable SSL: The secure socket layer (SSL) is enabled for secure communication between the Gateway and Cisco PAM
appliance by default. If necessary SSL can be disabled by deselecting the Enable SSL check box.
Note SSL is enabled or disabled for all Gateways and the Cisco PAM appliance. Cisco Systems recommends that SSL
always be enabled to ensure secure communications. If the SSL settings are changed, you must reset all
Gateways and the Cisco PAM appliance.
11. Click Save to save the settings. Wait until the Gateway resets and the web browser displays the screen Network Settings
Applied. Changes do not take effect until saved.
12. Repeat these steps for each Gateway in the system.
13. Perform additional configuration, verification, and monitoring tasks as described in the Cisco Physical Access Manager User
Guide.

external power source.
CAN A three-wire CAN bus is used to connect additional modules, including the Cisco Reader
2
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.
SVR (Server) When the LED is steady green, the Gateway is connected to a Cisco PAM.

Serial interface The RS-485 interface is not supported in this release.

Wiegand interface This interface can be configured as the following:
6
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.
• 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.
Input interfaces Three input interfaces used to sense the contact closure. Each input can be configured as
7
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). Refer to
the Cisco Physical Access Gateway User Guide for instructions to install the termination
resistors.
