CAUTION: VertX controllers and panels are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharges (ESD). Observe precautions
while handling the circuit board assembly by using proper grounding straps and handling precautions at all
times.
, page 15, and gather the information before proceeding with these instructions.
1.2 V1000
1. Verify the battery jumper is installed in the ON position, P10
connector.
2. If installing a V1000 - Verify the RS-485 termination jumper is
in the Out position when there are no panels attached to the
port. If there are downstream interface panels attached, place
the termination jumper in the In position. The V1000 is shipped
with jumpers in the Out positions
1.3 Mounting Instructions
1. Always mount the controllers and interface panels 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. Stack the VertX EVO devices with or without the cover. Do not remove the plastic base. Position the VertX EVO
devices in such a way as to provide room for wiring, air-flow and cable runs.
CAUTION: Stacking the VertX EVO devices without the cover risks the danger of breaking the LEDS
unless spacers are used for separation.
Warning: VertX EVO V1000 is a NON-PoE device. DO NOT connect J1 (Ethernet port) to a PoE
capable port. This applies to both direct PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (Endspan PSE) and
PoE injector (Midspan PSE) equipment. Not all PSE's correctly detect Non-PoE-capable
devices, and such PSE's may not function as expected when connected to Non-PoE
equipment.
Installation Note: Carefully peel the attached Warning Label from the bottom of the unit and
leave the label attached to the unit's cover for future reference.
CAUTION: Connectors on the VertX EVO 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 EVO V1000 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 and the other end to the network connection point (network jack, hub,
switch, or router) on your site.
Note: T
and the yellow LED denotes speed. When the Yellow LED is on, it indicates 100 Mbits per
second. Another LED in-board is a Duplex LED, indicating duplex communications are
available.
2. Power and Alarm input connections (All VertX EVO units): Connect
power by providing appropriate DC input to the P7 connector.
Appropriate DC input goes to Pin 1 and ground to Pin 2. Batt Fail, AC
Fail, and Tamper switch inputs are wired as shown in the table. Connect
the Bat Fail and AC Fail inputs to battery low/failure and AC failure
contacts provided on the power supply. Connect the Tamper input to a
tamper switch on the enclosure.
3. RS-485 Connections – T
two RS-485 connectors and uses the 10-
pin connector on P3 and P4. Each RS-485
bus can support a maximum of 16 V100Series panels using one or two ports.
Having tw
option of splitting each RS-485 bus into two
physical connections, allowing a total of four
physical connections for the two busses.
RS-485 busses must be connected in a daisy
chain topology and not a star topology.
T
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.
wo LED lights exist on the RJ-45 connector. The green LED denotes Ethernet Activity
CAUTION: The V1000 RS-485 Ports 1 & 2 (P3) are a common bus and therefore cannot have 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 (P3).
Wire the RS-485 to the In position only of the P9 terminal block for 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.
4. Output Connections (VertX EVO V1000) –
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, V1000: P14 Pin 3 is NO
(Normally Open,) Pin 4 is C (Common,) and
Pin 5 is NC (Normally Closed).

5. Input Connections – 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).
Any input can be configured 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 EVO devices through the host.
Example: Input 1, V1000 is: P14 Pin1 is + and Pin 2 is -.
Except for the door monitor, all other inputs
default to NO, unsupervised:
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.

be identified using the MAC Address label on the unit
the name on the button will change to Blink OFF. When verification of the controller is complete, click Blink OFF
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 by the user.
Once configuration changes have been made, click Submit, and the Confirmation page (see 3.1.4 Confirmation, page
11) 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, communicate with the controller using the host.
Basic setup is now complete!
Additional trouble-shooting tools are available on the System Status and Supplemental Configuration (page 12)
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 panel.
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 panel. During a download the interface panel
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, view a tool tip with the error status code by hovering your mouse over the image in
question.
Initially, all of the interface panels are selected by default to be updated
Note: Depending on the VertX controller and system, it may take several minutes to complete a download.
Do not replace the battery while power is applied to the VertX EVO Controllers. Remove
the cover.
Insert the battery
(with the + (positive) side facing upwards) under the prongs, lowering
the opposite side into place. Reinstall the cover.
To remove the battery, remove cover, lift the side opposite from the prongs first and
slide the battery out of place away from the prongs. Reinstall the cover.
Network Defaults Jumper
The Network Defaults Jumper requires that someone with physical access to the V1000, place a jumper over the
Debug port while the controller is rebooting, as detailed below. 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 re-configuration)
proceeds normally.
Use the Network Defaults Jumper to correct potential errors in a VertX controllers network configuration.
A jumper is supplied with the V1000, and is located across pins 6 & 8 of the Debug port for safe storage. Replace the
jumper across pins 6 & 8 for safe storage, after restoring network defaults.
1. Remove the V1000 cover.
2. Reboot the controller and place the supplied jumper over pins 3 & 5 of the Debug port while the Power LED is
green.
Note: The network reset opportunity occurs for 30 seconds while rebooting the controller.
3. After 30 seconds, the Power LED flashes green five times, indicating success. When an error occurs, the LED
flashes red five times. In both instances, the LED turns off indicating a power cycle is required.
4. Remove the jumper, return it to pins 6 & 8 of the Debug port and cycle power. The controller resets in
approximately 60-seconds. Once the reset is complete, the LED returns to green. After the 30-second window,
the LED returns to normal Red state. The controller is fully functional during this time.
CAUTION: During the controller rebooting process, all network configuration information is overwritten
and returned to the original defaults.
5. Configure the controller for your installation parameters. See 3.1 VertX Communications, page 10.
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.
