Edge is the next evolution in access control hardware solutions. A true IP solution that meets the demands of open architecture, IP-centric
environments, Edge provides fully distributed intelligence and decision making right to the door, leveraging the IT infrastructure to the
maximum extent possible. Wire the Edge device to Hi-O interface modules to provide connectivity to electronic door components and
access control readers.
Hi-O involves devices with built-in intelligence and a CANbus that links all the devices together. Hi-O CANbus data trafc can be password
protected and encrypted, or both. Each Hi-O device (such as the push plate, electric strike, card reader, door operator) is connected to the
CANbus by a single, four-wire cable. Two of the wires supply power and the other two are used for data communication.
Contact Edge through one of the following methods:
Direct Connect
If Edge will be connected to a network using static IP addressing or if the Discovery GUI is not installed on the PC, use this method.
Note: The computer must be running Windows 2000 or XP and be congured for DHCP.
1. Disconnect the computer from the network and directly connect Edge to the computer with an Ethernet cable.
2. Click Start > Run. Enter ipcong /renew ↵
3. Access a web browser and enter 169.254.242.121 into the Address eld ↵
OPIN Discovery/Update Application
Use the OPIN Discovery / Update Application on a computer to locate, connect and update Edge.
System Requirements:
Operating Systems: Windows XP and Fedora 8.
Find the OPIN Discovery / Update Application at www.ShareMethods.com > OPIN > Firmware > 2.3.x. Save the les to your local
harddrive.
The Edge must be connected to the network, and power applied, before the device is discovered.
1. With a computer connected to the same network as Edge, double-click opin-update.jar. The OPIN Discovery / Update Application
opens and the Controller Table populates.
Note: If the Controller Table does not populate, go to Edit > Broadcast Address. The default broadcast address is
255.255.255.255. Some network switches may block this transmission. If this is the case, change the subnet to match the
network, for example 10.7.255.255. Click Save.
2. Select the desired device from the list.
3. From Path to Update Package frame, browse to the rmware location on the computer.
4. Click Install. Firmware is installed.
EH400 - Provides additional functionality to not only Install rmware, but to Changeover, and Rollback rmware updates. Once
rmware is installed, click Changeover to switch to the updated rmware. Click Rollback to switch back to the previoius rmware
version.
5. View the Status Log for each status while performing Discovery and Update functions.
Java 6.0 or later. Go to www.java.com to download.
Congure
The web browser will prompt for login information. From the Login screen enter admin, leaving the Password eld empty.
Follow the instructions on the web browser screen to congure Edge.
Hi-O Interface Modules
Hi-O interface modules are used to interface the Edge device (EdgeReader or EdgePlus) with door electronic components. Components
include access control readers, strike, magnetic lock, request to exit, door position switch, and auxillary devices.
For Hi-O interface module wiring, see their prospective Installation Guides.
Go to www.hidglobal.com > Knowledge Center > Resources > Document Library. Search the document type as a Installation Guide.
Connect only to a Listed Access Control / Burglary power-limited power supply, or Listed Access Control / Burglary PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) adapter.
All National and local Electrical codes apply. Install in accordance with NFPA70 (NEC), Local Codes, and authorities having jurisdiction. Furthermore, install
within a Listed electrical box. All interconnected devices must be Listed.
Host-based security, Ethernet / Host Communication, has not been evaluated by UL. Ethernet port has been evaluated for supplemental use only.
The following have been evaluated as standalone products: EdgePlus model E400Cxxx and edgeReader model ERP40Cxxx.
EdgePlus was evaluated for use with all Listed HID Global Wiegand models: iCLASS, Indala Prox, HID Prox, bioCLASS, SmartID, SmartTRANS, and Mag
Stripe series (with and without keypad), up to 128-bit formats. EdgePlus was evaluated for use with all HID Global Hi-O iCLASS readers.
EdgePlus and EdgeReader are UL Listed for installation in the unprotected area, as well as within the protected area.
FCC / CANADA RADIO CERTIFICATION
For ER40/ESR40 and ERW400 models: Reader portion (iCLASS R40 and RW400 models) certied separately.
These devices comply with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
