precautions while handling the circuit board assembly by using proper grounding straps and
handling precautions at all times.
1.2V1000 or V2000
1. Verify the battery jumper is installed in the ON position
(or OUT position on old covers), P15 connector
(V1000).
2. If installing a V1000 - Verify the termination jumper is in
the Out position when there are no panels attached to
the port. If there are downstream interface panels
attached then the termination jumper should be in the In
position. The V1000 is shipped with jumpers in the Out
positions
, page 21, and gather the information before proceeding with these
1.3 Mounting Instructions
1. The controllers and interface panels should always be
mounted in a secure area.
2. Mount using the four mounting screws (provided) or
other appropriate fasteners. Place the fasteners in the
corner holes of the base.
3. The VertX devices can be stacked with or without the cover. Do not remove the plastic base. Make
sure you position the VertX devices in such a way as to provide room for wiring, air-flow and cable
runs.
1.4 V100, V200, or V300
1. If the V100-Series panel will be attached to the end of the
RS-485 bus, install a terminating jumper to the In position
on the termination resistor pins, P8 on the cover (P10 on
the PCB) of the V100, V200 and V300.
2. If the V100-Series panel is being installed as part of an
array, or in a third party enclosure, follow the directions
provided by the Integrator or Dealer.
CAUTION: Connectors on the VertX devices are positioned to be mirror images and are not
interchangeable once the installation is complete. Therefore, you cannot unplug a
connector from one side and plug it into the corresponding connector on the other side.
1. Network Connection: Connect the VertX V1000/V2000 to the network using a standard Cat5
network patch cable. Connect one end of the Cat5 network patch cable to the J1 (RJ-45) connector
on the V1000/V2000 and the other end to the network connection point (network jack, hub, switch,
or router) on your site.
2. Serial (RS-232) Adapter cable (P/N 70007)
The Serial Adapter cable is a six inch adapter that converts the 9 pin MTA header to a standard DB-9 male
connector. This adapter is to be utilized for attaching a standard RS-232 serial modem cable (not included)
to the VertX controller. This will allow one of the approved external modems (listed in 1.6.1 Modem Setup
Requirements, page 12) to be attached to the VertX V1000.

5. RS-485 Connections – The V1000
has two - RS-485 connectors and uses
the 10-pin connector on P3 and P4.
Each RS-485 bus can support a
maximum of 16 V100-Series panels
using one or two ports.
Having two ports on each bus provides
the option of splitting each RS-485 bus
into two physical connections, allowing a
total of four physical connections for the
wo busses.
t
RS-485 busses must be connected in a
daisy chain topology and not a star
topology.
The V1000 termination jumper should
be in the Out position if there are no
panels attached to the port. If there are
downstream panels attached then the
termination jumper should be in the In

position.
CAUTION: The V1000 RS-485 Ports 1 & 2 (P1) are a common bus and therefore cannot hav
panels with duplicate Interface Addresses assigned. The same is true of the V1000 RS-485,
Ports 3 & 4 (P4). For example, two panels, both with Interface Address 0 (factory default),
cannot be connected to Ports 1 and/or 2 (P1).
It is recommended to wire the RS-485 to the In position of the P9 terminal block of the V100-Series
panel. This is especially important when the RS-485 communication is in a “daisy chain”
configuration. If the RS-485 is wired In and Out, and power is lost, or the P9 terminal block is
unplugged on a V100-Series panel, RS-485 communications will be lost to downstream V100-Series
panels.
6. Interface
the Address dial. Ensure that the V100 Interface Address
is documented in the Hardware Installation Worksheet
7. Output Connections (All VertX units) – All Output
connections are used for general purpose controls. The
following table shows where the various outputs are
located. Pin numbers shown use the convention
“NO/C/NC”. For example, Output 1, V2000: P3 Pin1 is NO
(Normally Open,) Pin 2 is C (Common,) and Pin 3 is NC
(Normally Closed).
Note: Relays are dry contact rated for 2Amps @ 30VDC.
CAUTION: Some magnetic locks exhibit both high inrush current when activated and a high
instantaneous break voltage when de-energized due to magnetic field collapse. It is
recommended you use of a snubber circuit across the controlling relay terminals to protect the
controlling relay contacts. Go to support.hidglobal.com
, see Solution 891 - How do I wire a High
In-Rush Current locking device to VertX/Edge/Edge Solo?.
8. Input Connections (All VertX devices) – Input connections are analog inputs used for a combination of
specific functions such as Request-to-Exit (REX), Door monitor, etc. They can also be used as general
purpose monitoring. Connect one side of the switch or contact to the + (plus) lead and the other to the –
(minus) lead. The following table shows where the inputs are located. Pin numbers shown on the cover
use the convention +/–.
The default REX input configuration is normally open (NO) unsupervised (no EOL resistors).
However, the default door switch (DS) configuration is Normally Closed (NC), unsupervised (no
EOL resistors).
All other input points are defaulted for NO switches and are unsupervised (no EOL resistors).
Configure any input as NO or NC, as well as unsupervised or supervised. They can be configured for
supervisory resistors of 1K – 6K Ohm. The setup of supervised inputs should be done during configuration
of the VertX devices via the host
Example: Input 1, V1000 is: P14 Pin1 is + and Pin 2 is -.
The VertX controller will automatically answer incoming calls when an external serial modem is attached to
the RS-232 port 1.

may also be a power switch located on the back of the modem.
Discovery Client (DHCP or Static TCP/IP Configurations Only)
Virtual Port
2.1 Discovery Client
The Discovery Client provides a technician with a method of locating all of the VertX controllers that are
connected to a network. Controller information is displayed providing the ability to ‘blink’ the VertX controller
Comm LED and configure the unit by launching a browser pointed at the Configuration GUI of the targeted
controller. When the Discovery Client is launched, a discover command is issued and the Configuration GUI
screen is populated with the results. Also provided is the ability to refresh the Configuration GUI screen on
command.
Use this feature when the VertX controllers and network have been installed and are operational, but before the
VertX controller(s) has been configured. At this point, all of the controllers on a network will have the same host
name and unknown IP addresses (assuming a DHCP environment). In this scenario, the only mechanism
available to configure a controller is the serial debug port or by only placing one controller on the network at a
time. The Discovery Client provides an easy to use mechanism to configure controllers.
2.1.1 Installation
An operating system of Windows® XP with .NET Framework v2.0 installed is a requirement for the Discovery
Client to function properly.
1. The Discovery Client can be downloaded by placing the following path in an Internet browser.
The following provides information on how to access and use the Discovery Client.
1. Enable VertX controllers on the network
2. Click Start > Programs > VertX Tool Box > Discovery GUI to access the Discovery Client
3. Returned is a list of controllers attached to the network. If there is more than one controller listed,
controllers can be identified using the MAC Address label on the unit
4. If unsure of a controllers physical location click Blink ON to start the Comm LED blinking on the
controller. Note the name on the button will change to Blink OFF. When verification of the controller
is complete, click Blink OFF
5. Click Configure Unit to open the Basic Configuration page of that controller
6. Go to Step 3 Configure, page 15
2.2 Virtual Port
Contact a VertX controller by directly connecting the computer to the controller using an Ethernet cable. By
default, every controller is configured to respond to a fixed address: 169.254.242.121.
1. Ensure you are running a Windows 2000 or XP computer
2. Disconnect your Windows computer from its hub or network
3. Connect the Windows computer to the controller with an Ethernet cable
4 Using the Windows™ Start button, click Start > Run
5. Enter ipconfig /renew -- wait for DHCP to timeout (approximately 60 sec). The computer will
acquire a 169.254.x.x address
6. Access a web browser and enter 169.254.242.121 into the Address field. The controller is now
Enter the Host Name, and the Here I Am Interval collected on the Configuration Checklist, page 21.
3.1.3.1 Controller Login Password
During your first instance of accessing the Configuration GUI, you must change the password (located at the
bottom of the screen). Enter a new password, and reenter the password in the second field.
Note: This step is not necessary during any consecutive Configuration GUI sessions. However on consecutive
sessions the password may be changed.
Once configuration changes have been made, click Submit, and the Confirmation page (see 3.1.4
Confirmation, page 16) will display.
3.1.4 Confirmation
Once configuration changes are complete and submitted, the Confirmation screen will display. Verify that the
changes submitted are accurate, and click Save. If the changes submitted are not accurate, click Cancel and
adjust the settings appropriately.
Step 4 Communicate
Now that the controller is connected, contacted and configured, contact the host to test the system.
Basic setup is now complete!
Additional trouble-shooting tools are available on the System Status and Supplemental Configuration (page 17)
screens.
System Status provides a technician with a method of validating the VertX installation, field wiring and installed
devices. Perform the System Status at any time after the VertX controller has been installed and power is
available. In addition, a technician may perform a system status as many times as necessary.
Upon startup, the System Status page will discover all connected and powered V100-Series devices attached
to the controller and displays the inputs, outputs, and host status.
Reference the Legend to determine the meaning of the different images.
By clicking Add Unconfigured you can configure the V1000 for the attached panels and readers. The
assumption is that two readers are attached to any V100 interface panel and that both readers are Wiegand
card only. Once the configuration is complete, the VertX software will refresh.
Once the page refreshes, a Restore Previous button becomes available.
The Restore Previous button enables the technician to use the previously saved configuration.
Supplemental Configuration
Supplemental Configuration provides the ability to view and configure system inputs and outputs
These buttons provide navigation to the following functionality:
Configure - configure inputs, outputs and door characteristics for a V1000, V100, V200, and V300
System Time - update System Time
Update System – updates the interface boards firmware
Configure
Configure provides the ability to view and modify system inputs and outputs and door characteristics.
Upon successful validation, the Save button will write modified values to the interface board.
System Time
System Time provides the ability to view and set the date, time, and time zone values on the controller.
Upon initialization, Date, Time, Time Zone and TZ fields will be populated with the current system settings. The
date displayed (non-text box) will be updated approximately every 30 seconds.
The Time Zone field provides a drop-down menu. One of the options in the Time Zone drop-down menu is
Custom Time Zone. If Custom Time Zone is selected, the TZ text box will be enabled. Otherwise, the TZ is
associated with the Time Zone field.
Update System
Update System allows the user to update the firmware on the interface board. During a download the interface
board image flashes between grey and yellow. When a download completes the image color changes to green
for successful or red for failure. If the download fails, a tool tip with the error status code may be viewed by
hovering the mouse over the image in question.
Initially, all of the interface boards will be selected for a download to commence.
Note: Depending on the VertX controller and system, it may take several minutes to completely download.
ork Defaults Jumper requires that someone with physical access to the V1000, place a jumper over
the debug port prior to the controller rebooting. The controller reconfigures its network settings to the factory
defaults when the jumper is on the debug port during a reboot. From this point, configuration (or reconfiguration) will proceed normally.
Use the Network Defaults Jumper to correct potential errors in a VertX controllers network configuration.
1. Place a jumper over the right two pins of the P9 debug port.
2. Reboot the controller to change all of the network configuration settings back to the factory defaults.
3. After the LED turns amber, remove the jumper from the P9 debug port. Upon removing the jumper it
takes approximately 60 seconds for the controller to reset. Once the reset is complete, the LED will
return to green.
CAUTION: During the process of rebooting the controller, all network configuration information will
be overwritten and returned to the original defaults.
4. Configure the controller for your installation parameters. See 3.1 VertX Communications, page 15.
Firewall
If the VertX controller is being installed where it communicates through a firewall, then the firewall may need to
be configured to allow TCP data transfer on the specified port(s).
1. Before starting, ensure that any pop-up blocker software is disabled on the computer.
2. Open the following ports on the firewall.
connection_port(4070)TCP outbound.This port must be open on the Host computer.
listen_port(4050)TCP incoming. This port must be open when using selected
applications.
If you are not familiar with configuring a firewall for a network, contact the Network/IT administrator or
manager.
CAUTION: If the firewall is not configured properly the controller may not communicate with the host.
