Overview

1.1 Overview

The NetAXS-123 is a modular 1-, 2- or 3-Door access control system. A NetAXS-123 access control site is configured with a host system and access control units that exceed existing N-1000-III/IV, Pro Series specifications and approvals. These units also communicate with each other and with a variety of input and output devices. Each access control unit, or panel, has three reader ports. Each port can support two readers. For supported configurations, see Supported Configurations, page 77.

You can communicate with the NetAXS-123 access control unit either through a host software system or by connecting to the web server through an Ethernet connection. This chapter describes how to connect to the web server.

1.2 Connecting to the Web Server

This section describes three configurations for connecting a computer to the

NetAXS-123 web server:

•USB

•Ethernet through a web server hub connection

•Ethernet through a web server direct connection

Note: The panel that you are connecting to the computer is the Gateway panel. DIP switch 6 on a Gateway panel must be set to ON for a successful connection.

1.2.1 Setting up the USB Connection

Warning: Do NOT connect the USB cable to the panel until AFTER the drivers are installed.

Follow these steps to set up the NetAXS-123 USB connection.

1.Insert the NetAXS-123 Product CD into your Windows-based computer. The NetAXS-123 product menu opens in the web browser.

Note: If the product menu does not open automatically in your browser, right click on the Start button and select Explore. In the folder tree, find and click the CD drive that is reading the NetAXS-123 Product CD.

2.Click Install USB Drivers on the product menu to start the USB driver installation wizard.

Connecting to the Web Server

7.Connect the computer to the NetAXS-123 controller with a USB-A to Micro USB-B cable.

8.Turn on the power to the NetAXS-123 controller.

For login information, go to https://192.168.2.150.

1.2.2 Setting up an Ethernet Port

There are two options for connecting the panel to a PC via a web server:

•Using a hub connection

•Using a direct connection

Perform the following steps:

1.Connect your computer's Ethernet port to the panel's Ethernet Port using one of the two following methods:

a.For an Ethernet Hub connection, connect both the computer’s Ethernet port and the panel's Ethernet port to an Ethernet hub with standard Ethernet patch cables.

a.The number of doors shown next to this icon reflects the actual number of doors the panel is configured for. The example in the table displays a Controller Board with a 2-door input/output board (I/O board), thus resulting in a total of three doors. The Controller lists only the door, no numbers. A Controller with a 1-door I/O board will report Doors: 1 2.

1.4 Reading the Select Panel

The Select Panel is located at the right margin of the NetAXS-123 web server main screen. The presence of a number in one of the Select Panel cells indicates that its associated panel is online. For example, if you see a number 1 in a cell, this indicates that panel 1 is online. The combinations of size and color of the number and the color of the cell background indicate the panel’s status, as shown in the following table.

Note: Holding the cursor over a cell also displays a popup message, which indicates whether the panel in that cell is online or selected.

The Select Panel refreshes automatically when the panel’s status changes.

Overview

2.1 Overview

This chapter explains the NetAXS-123 configuration functions as accessed via the web server. These functions should be performed only by the system administrator or service personnel.

Caution: The sequence of NetAXS-123 configuration tasks is critical. If you do not follow the sequence described in Table 2-1, the system cannot be successfully configured.

Table 2-1: Configuration Task Sequence

To perform this task...

Click this heading

1. Configure the panel:

Host/Loop Communications Network

General Site Codes

2.Configure the time zones.

3.Configure the doors:

Readers

Outputs

Inputs

4. Configure the access levels.

2.2.1 Managing Configuration Data

This section provides an overview of how configuration data is managed on a system of panels interconnected via an RS-485 communications loop.

Some configuration data is common to all panels on the loop. When common data is entered, it is sent to and stored on all panels that are online at the time the data is entered. Common data includes:

•Time Zones

•Cards

•Card Formats

•Site Codes

•Holidays

•Access Level Name and Number (access level details are panel-specific)

•System Configuration (Site Codes)

Other data is panel-specific and unique for each panel. Panel-specific data includes:

•Access Level Time Zone Reader Assignments

•Door/Reader Configuration

•System Configuration (General Tab)

•System Configuration (Firmware Details)

•System Configuration (Network) (IP addresses apply only to gateway panel)

•System Configuration (Host/Loop Communications) (applies only to gateway panel)

•Web Users (applies only to gateway panel)

If common data is modified when a panel is off-line, or if a new panel is attached to a loop after common data has been entered, the panel must be manually re-synchronized to obtain the common data. To resynchronize a new panel, you must upload a copy of the gateway panels common and card database and then download to the out-of-sync panel. See Section 5.1, "Backing up and Restoring the NetAXS-123" on page 120 for additional details.

2.2.2 Host/Loop Communications Tab

To maintain your NetAXS-123 system configuration or to monitor its status, you must connect to the panel using one of two modes:

•Host mode (monitor only) – a host software system, such as WIN-PAK™, connects to the panel (through the gateway panel, which has an on-board PCI communications adapter). It enables you to monitor the status of the system.

•Web mode (configure and monitor) – the web server connects to the panel and enables you to configure the panel and monitor system status.

Configuring via the Web Server

Configuring the System

The Host/Loop Communications tab enables you to:

•Select and configure the communication mode you will use to connect to the panel.

•Configure the following host settings:

–Connection Type (host or web server)

–Comms Type

–Port Number

–Host IP Address

•Configure the loop:

–Time Sync (Enable—how often in minutes the gateway will broadcast its time to downstream panels)

–Baud Rate (for communication among downstream panels)

Click Communications > Host/Loop > Host/Loop Communications Tab to display the Host/Loop Communications Tab.

Configuring the System

Steps: Use the descriptions in Table 2-2 to configure the settings:

Table 2-2: Communications > Host/Loop > Host Loop Communications Tab Fields

Host/Loop	Setting	Description
	Connection type	Specifies the type of physical connection
		between the host and the Gateway panel.
		If you are connecting from a host software
		system such as WIN-PAK, select one of the
		following three connection options:
		Direct via TCP/IP – Host initiates connection
		to panel.
		Reverse TCP/IP – Panel connects directly to
		the host system using the TCP/IP protocol.
		You must enter the host IP address in the Host
		IP Address field. Panel initiates connection to
		host. Panel currently does not support
		encryption.
		None – Select this if you are using web mode.
	Comms Type	Specifies the type of communications.
Host		Ack/NAK – Provides a response (either an
		acknowledgment or a non-acknowledgment)
		in a transmission between the host and
		panel(s). This is the recommended
		communications type.
		Non Ack/NAK – Does not provide a response
		(either an acknowledgment or a
		non-acknowledgment) in a transmission
		between the host and panel(s). Normally used
		in troubleshooting only.
	Port Number	Specifies the port number for the Ethernet port
		(default is 3001). (Default for Reverse TCP/IP
		is 5001.)
	Host IP Address	Enter the host system (or WIN-PAK server) IP
		address here if you selected Reverse TCP/IP
		in the Connection Type field on this screen.
