Secure Ethernet Gateway
SEG-1 and SEG-M
for IEI Access Systems
Installation Manual
Section 1: Introduction
The SEG is a LAN/WAN (TCP/IP to serial) interface that enables existing or new IEI access systems to use the end user's network
infrastructure and to be programmed and managed at any network PC running Hub Manager™ Professional software, which operates
on Windows XP Professional , Windows 98 and 2000 operating systems. The SEG requires Hub Manager™ Professional software
version 5.0 or higher for static IP addressing and version 7.1 or higher for dynamic addressing. The access system data sent over the
corporate network is 128-Bit so that user and door information cannot be "sniffed" and security compromised.
The IP address assigned to the SEG, may be either a static address assigned by authorized network administrator,or it may be a
dynamic address assigned by a DHCP Server.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To set up the SEG, installation technicians must have a technical knowledge of networks and networking in a PC environment. It is
important to consult the end user's system administrator in order to resolve any networking issues that may occur.

Page 8 of 32 Document Number: 6066005, Rev 2.4
4.5 Defaulting the SEG Settings
The following section describes how to reset the default settings in the SEG.
4.5.1 Reset the Security Key in the SEG to all 0's
NOTE: this method must be followed if the firmware version of the SEG is less than 1.3.
The SEG must be removed from the LAN and brought back to the PC (or bring a laptop with a serial com port to the SEG) . You will
then enter the configuration menu through the serial connection. The configuration utility cannot be entered into though the Ethernet
port. This is done so that not just anyone on the LAN could change the settings of the SEG without having physical access to the SEG
itself.
NOTE: This process may also be necessary if you have used the Restore Database function of Hub Manager Pro and the Security Key
stored in the database that you just restored does not match the security key currently stored in the SEG.
To default the encryption security key in the SEG, you must perform the following in order:
1. Connect the supplied DB9 adapter labeled 'Gateway Config' to your PC's com port.
2. Remove the Gateway from the LAN (and power supply) and bring it back to the PC.
3. Use the 6' modular cord (supplied with the SEG) and plug it into the port on the SEG labeled 'RS232'.
4. Select the button labeled Launch SEG Serial Port Setup Utility and set the Com Port the SEG is connected to when asked.
5. Disconnect power to the SEG.
6. Press and hold down the x key (lowercase) on the PC keyboard, while the HyperTerminal program is running.
7. Power up the SEG.
8. In a few seconds you should get a response from the SEG and a menu will be displayed.
9. Choose the option labeled 'factory defaults'. The SEG will then be set back to Out-Of-Box factory defaults. You can now
configure the SEG as if you are installing it for the first time.
10. In order to speak to this SEG again , you will now need follow the directions above to Default the Security Key in Hub
Manager Pro. Be sure to set a new security key into the SEG before you attempt to send sensitive user data to the door
controllers.
4.5.2 Reset the Security Key in the SEG to all 0's
NOTE: This requires SEG firmware v1.3 or higher.
This feature is provided that will allow you to reset the Security Key in the SEG back to all 0's, which is the default out-of-box state.
Resetting the Security Key in the SEG would be required if you are replacing a SEG with a previously used SEG that already has a
Security Key set into it and you don't know what the Security Key is, or if you are setting up a new site and want to communicate with
an existing SEG that is already installed and already has a Security Key set.
NOTE: This feature can only be used with SEG devices with v1.3 or greater firmware.
1. Go to the SEG and either cycle power to it or press the little black reset button on the SEG.
2. Within 10 minutes, go back to the PC and select the button in the Site Edit screen that is labeled 'Reset the Security Key in
the SEG to all 0's'.
3. You will see a warning message specifying the requirements of using this feature. If you have met all the requirements then
press the OK button.
4. If the Key was reset properly then you will see a confirmation message (Fig. 8).
5. As a security measure, you must now go back to the SEG and once again cycle power or press the reset button on the SEG.
This will set the new Security Key into non-volatile memory. Failure to reset the SEG after the Security Key is reset using
this method will result in not being able to communicate with the SEG.
6. Reset Complete. The Security Key has now been reset to all 0's in both the SEG and PC. Communications with this SEG
should now be possible.
Document Number: 6066005, Rev 2.4 Page 25 of 32
4.4 SEG Parameters
The following section describes the various parameters in the SEG.
4.4.1 IP Address
The IP address you have received from your IT administrator is assigning to the SEG.
4.4.2 IP Port
The IP Port is a 'channel' that the SEG configured to listen on for communications from Hub Manager Pro. This is set to 9997 by
default, but can be changed both in Hub Manager Pro and in the SEG, if necessary. But unless the IT Administrator requests the IP
Port be changed, this parameter can be disregarded.
4.4.3 SEG Serial Net Number
This corresponds to the serial port located on the SEG device itself. The SEG is capable of connecting to both RS232 and RS485
products, which are Serial Net Numbers 1 and 2 respectively. This parameter should never be changed.
4.4.4 Security Key
All communication and data exchanged between the PC and the SEG are sent using 128 bit AES encryption. The encryption key that
is used to encrypt the data can be changed anytime by the operator of Hub Manager Professional as long as Hub Manager Professional
currently has same Security Key that is currently stored in the SEG.
WARNING:It is highly recommended that you change the encryption security key during the initial SEG setup. All new SEG are
shipped with the same initial security key, and Hub Manager Professional 5 (or later) is also shipped with this same security key. By
not changing the security key, anyone running Hub Manager Pro on their PC somewhere else on your LAN would be able to
communicate with your door controllers. But once this security key is changed to a new 128 bit number, then all the data that is passed
out the Ethernet port of your PC is then encrypted with that key and decrypted by the SEG using that same key.
4.4.5 Generate Random Security Key
This button will generate a new 128 bit security key and will then display the hexadecimal representation in the 'Current Security Key'
field (see below)
4.4.6 Generate Default Security Key
After selecting this option, you will receive a warning message explaining that setting the security key back to defaults should only be
done if you are installing a new SEG or if you have defaulted an existing SEG. Once you agree to this, you must then choose the
button labeled 'Set This Security Key into the Gateway'. You will then receive a confirmation message that explains that this option
will just save the defaulted security key into the Hub Manager Pro database. You can now install your new or defaulted SEG onto the
LAN and attempt to communicate with it. Don't forget to change the security key once you have established communications with the
new (or defaulted) SEG.
4.4.7 Set This Security Key into the SEG
Use this option if you wish to set a new random security key into the SEG. The encryption key displayed in the 'Current Security
Key' field is what is sent during this procedure.
NOTE: In order to change a security key in a SEG, Hub Manager Pro must already know the existing security key that is stored in the
SEG. If you think there has been a mix up, and you think Hub Manager Pro may not know the SEG's security key, then you should
perform the steps to 'Default the Gateway to Factory Settings' noted below, and when that process is complete, you can then
attempt to change the security key.

3.6 Connecting Multiple prox.pad plus Networks
Document Number: 6066005, Rev 2.4 Page 9 of 32
3.7 Connecting the SEG-1 to a Max 3 System (RS-485)
You can also use the SEG-1 to connect your Max 3 or MiniMax 3 system to your LAN/WAN. Follow the instructions below and refer
to the diagram.
Run your RS-485 cable between terminal strip TS1 on the SEG-1 to TS3 on the backplane as shown in the diagram. You must also
connect each module to the backplane by connecting the 3-conductor wire harness supplied with the Max 3 from P5 to the RS-485
connector underneath each module on the backplane (J1 through J4).
To connect additional backplanes to the system, simply connect TS3 on the first backplane to TS3 on the next backplane as shown
below. The SEG-1 is only required on the first backplane of the system (up to 64 doors Max; if you require more doors an additional
SEG-1 is required).
Page 10 of 32 Document Number: 6066005, Rev 2.4
Note: The maximum
distance between any
backplane and the SEG-1 is
4000 feet using 24AWG,
shielded, two twisted-pair
telephone cable with a shunt
capacitance of 16 pF/Ft.
6 – Security
Here you can change the Encryption key manually to match the encryption key Hub Manager Professional is using. This is
normally not necessary because Hub Manager Professional normally performs this function. After going through this menu
item completely, the encryption settings will automatically be saved and the session will be closed.
Disable Telnet Setup (Y)
Disable TFTP Firmware
Upgrade
(Y)
Disable Port 77FE (Y)
Disable Web Setup (Y)

not disable or communications with Hub Manager Professional will fail.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Change key
(N) This 128 bit security key is changed via the Hub Manager Professional software. If
this security key does not match the key stored in the site settings in Hub Manager
Professional, then any communication attempts to your controller hardware will fail.
7 – Factory Defaults
Sets all options back to out-of-box factory defaults. After performing this function, any security key you had in this device
will be deleted and set back to default. In order to speak to this SEG again, you will now need follow the directions above to
Default the Security Key in Hub Manager Professional. Be sure to set a new security key into the SEG, using Hub Manager
Professional before you attempt to send sensitive user data to the door controllers. This will also set the IP address back to a
default value of 0.0.0.0.
8 – Exit Without Save
Cancels any changes you have made in setup.
9 – Save and Exit
Saves any changes you have made in setup and exits
4.3.2 Configuring the IP Address in Hub Manager Professional
Now it is time to open Hub Manager Professional, create a new site, and configure this site to communicate to the SEG with the IP
address you have received from the IT administrator. This example shows how to set up a SEG connected Hub controller network,
but the SEG can also be used to communicate to a new type of controller called the "prox.pad plus". The steps are exactly the same,
just the 'Device Group' will be different.
1. Run Hub Manager Professional and login.
2. Select Database > Sites and then select the Add button.
3. Enter a descriptive Name for this grouping of controllers that will be communicated with via the SEG.
4. Select the Device Group drop down list and select the controller family you are connecting to the SEG. For this example, we
are going to choose the device group named 'HC500, Hub+, HubMax, MaxII'.
5. Select the Connection Type named TCP/IP.
6. Select the tab named TCP/IP Parameters.
7. In the edit box labeled IP Address, enter the IP Address that the IT Administrator gave you.
NOTE: The MAC Address does NOT need to be defined if you are setting up a SEG with a Static IP Address. The MAC
Address is only used if you are assigning a SEG a dynamic IP address via a DHCP server, but that feature also requires that the
version of SEG firmware be v1.3 or greater. See the chapter named Dynamic IP Address for more information on Dynamic IP
Address assignments. The IP Port and Serial Net Number do not need to be modified in any way.
8. Select Save.
9. Setup of the Static IP Address into the SEG site is complete.
Document Number: 6066005, Rev 2.4 Page 23 of 32
14. To change the IP address you should select option 0 server Configuration. A 3 digit number will be displayed in brackets.
This is the first 'octet' of the current IP address of this SEG device. You will either enter a new 3 digit number and then press
enter to accept it, or you can accept this number by pressing enter. You will do this for all 4 octets.
15. You must now press <ENTER> for the rest of the options to accept the default settings.
16. There is no need to change any other settings within this setup menu.
17. From the main menu, select 9 save and exit.
18. When you receive the Parameters stored ... message you can exit this utility by selecting File > Exit. You will select Yes if
you are asked if you want to disconnect.
NOTE: Default values in all other menu systems should. The default value is kept by pressing the <ENTER> key when that
setting is displayed.
Here is a brief description of each menu and sub option, and what the default values should be. The SEG device is factory set to have
the highest security possible. Changing any options, especially in the 'Security' menu could result in not having a completely secure
environment.
0 – Sever Configuration
IP Address
(XXX).(XXX).(XXX).(XXX) Allows you to set the IP address of the SEG directly. You
can set it to 0.0.0.0 to allow it to be served a dynamic IP address each time it boots up.
The IP address should only be set to 0.0.0.0 if the DHCP server is assigning the same IP
address to this SEG device every time, by way of using a non-expiring IP address lease
that is assigned to the MAC address of the device.
Set Gateway IP Address
N (Do Not Change); The term 'Gateway' here refers to a network router on the LAN not
the device you are configuring here.

3.8 Connecting the SEG-1 to a MiniMax 3 System (RS-485)
You can also use the SEG-1 to connect your MiniMax 3 system to your LAN/WAN. Follow the instructions below and refer to the
diagram.
Run your RS-485 cable between terminal strip TS1 on the SEG-1 to TS3 on the backplane as shown in the diagram. You must also
connect the module to the backplane by connecting the 3-conductor wire harness supplied with the MiniMax 3 from P5 to the RS-485
connector underneath the module on the backplane (P1).
To connect additional backplanes to the system, simply connect TS3 on the first backplane to TS3 on the next backplane as shown
below. The SEG-1 is only required on the first backplane of the system (up to 64 doors Max; if you require more doors an additional
SEG-1 is required).
Document Number: 6066005, Rev 2.4 Page 11 of 32
Note: The maximum
distance between any
backplane and the SEG-1 is
4000 feet using 24AWG,
shielded, two twisted-pair
telephone cable with a shunt
capacitance of 16 pF/Ft.
3.9 SEG-M Installation (Plug On Module)
The SEG-M plug on module was created to allow HubMax and MiniMax panels an easier way to use the SEG-M functionality. When
used with HubMax or Hub MiniMax panels, no power or communication wiring is required between the SEG-M and the backplane.
All connections are made through the connector used to connect the SEG-M module to the backplane. To connect to a Max 3 or
MiniMax 3 you must use the supplied cable to make the connections to the module and the backplane.

4.3 Static IP Address
The static IP address is set through the serial port of the SEG using the PC's serial communications port (or through the USB port
using a USB to RS232 adapter). This method allows you to configure the IP address of the SEG without any network devices such as
a router or a network switch interfering. Refer to the section in this chapter named Static IP Address
4.3.1 Setting a Static IP Address of a SEG through a serial connection (via PC com port)
This is the method for configuring the IP address of the SEG if it is going to be assigned a static IP address.
To enter the configuration menu of the SEG, you must perform the following in order:
1. Connect the DB9-RJ11 adapter labeled Gateway Config (supplied with the SEG) to your PC's com port.
2. Plug the 6' phone cord (supplied with the SEG) into the adapter labeled Gateway Config.
3. When using a SEG-1, disconnect the SEG-1 from the LAN and controller and bring it back to the PC, along with its power
supply. Plug the other end of the 6' phone cord into the port on the SEG-1 labeled RS232.
4. When using the SEG-M you must leave it installed on the backplane. In this case the PC (a laptop is recommended) must be
close to the backplane so you can plug the 6' phone cord into the RJ-11 jack labeled Port C. Remember that module 1 must be
in place and turned on.
5. Run Hub Manager Professional and go to Database > Sites and open that site for editing.
6. Select the tab named TCP/IP Parameters
7. Select the button labeled Launch SEG Serial Port Setup Utility and set the Com Port the SEG is connected to when asked.

3.9.3 Connecting the SEG-M to a HubMax System (RS-232)
Connect the SEG-M to the eight-position pin rail S1 above the first module on the backplane. Make sure the components on the SEG-
M are facing away from the module. Use the the two-card guides to secure the SEG-M in place by snapping them into the holes on
either side and sliding the SEG-M into them.
3.9.4 Connecting the SEG-M to a Hub MiniMax System (RS-232)
Connect the SEG-M to the eight-position pin rail S1 on the left hand side of on the backplane. Make sure the components on the SEG-
M are facing away from the module. Use the the two-card guides to secure the SEG-M in place by snapping them into the holes on
either side and sliding the SEG-M into them.

Note: No additional connections
are required between the
HubMax and the SEG-M.
Note: No additional connections are required between the Hub MiniMax and the SEG-M.
3.9.5 Connecting the SEG-M to a Max 3 System (RS-485)
You can connect your Max 3 to your LAN/WAN by using the SEG-M, Secured Ethernet Gateway. Follow the instructions below and
refer to the diagram.
The connection from the SEG-M to the Max 3 requires you to plug the module onto the backplane connector S1 to power the unit.
You must also use the six-conductor wire harness from J1 on the SEG-M to P5 on the module and J1 on the backplane. If you have
more than one module on the backplane, you must connect each module to the corresponding RS-485 connector (J2, J3 or J4)
underneath the module as described in the Max 3 Installation Manual.
To connect additional backplanes to the system, simply connect TS3 on the first backplane to TS3 on the next backplane as shown
below. The SEG-M is only required on the first backplane of the system (up to 64 doors Max; if you require more doors an additional
SEG-M is required).
Page 14 of 32 Document Number: 6066005, Rev 2.4
Note: The maximum
distance between the first
backplane with the SEG-M
and the next backplane is
4000 feet using 24AWG,
shielded, two twisted-pair
telephone cable with a shunt
capacitance of 16 pF/Ft.
4.2 Dynamic IP Address, non-expiring lease
No setup of the SEG via it's serial port is required. Just supply the SEG's MAC address to the IT department and ask them to assign
this particular piece of Ethernet equipment to be assigned an IP Address with a 'non-expiring lease', and get back from the the IP
Address that will be assigned the SEG. The MAC address you will supply to IT is the 12 digit number located on the label of the SEG.
Once you have the IP address that will be assigned to this SEG, you can then simply enter that IP address into the Site Settings screen,
and change the IP address if necessary, and Save the site.
NOTE: Each SEG is shipped from the factory with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. When the SEG is initially powered up (or rebooted) and
it has an IP address of all 0's, it will look for a DHCP server on the network and if one is found the SEG will be assigned an IP
Address.

3.9.6 Connecting the SEG-M to a MiniMax 3 System (RS-485)
You can connect your MiniMax 3 to your LAN/WAN by using the SEG-M, Secured Ethernet Gateway. Follow the instructions below
and refer to the diagram.
The connection from the SEG-M to the MiniMax 3 requires you to plug the module onto the backplane connector J2 to power the unit.
You must also use the six-conductor wire harness from J1 on the SEG-M to P5 on the module and P1 on the backplane.
To connect additional backplanes to the system, simply connect TS3 on the first backplane to TS3 on the next backplane as shown
below. The SEG-M is only required on the first backplane of the system (up to 64 doors Max; if you require more doors an additional
SEG-M is required).

Section 4: SEG Configuration
The SEG is a device created for the purpose of allowing data to be exported from your PC over a LAN/WAN to either Secured Series
Controllers or the prox.pad Plus. A minimal amount of setup must be performed on the SEG in order for it to be properly addressed on
the LAN.
There are 3 methods that can be used to configure the IP Address of the SEG:
1. Dynamic IP Addressing via DHCP server with an IP that can change (this is the recommended method but it requires SEG
firmware v1.3 or greater)
2. Dynamic IP Addressing via DHCP server with non-expiring lease (can be performed on any version of SEG)
3. Static IP Address (can be performed on any version of SEG)
NOTE: If your SEG has a firmware version of 1.3 or higher and there is a DHCP server on the network, which is typical, then it is
recommended that you refer to the section of this manual named Setting up a SEG that is assigned an IP Address by DHCP server.
4.1 Dynamic IP Address via DHCP server, IP Address in SEG can change
This is the recommended method but it requires SEG v1.3 or greater firmware. The firmware label is located on top of the SEG.
NOTE: The SEG units that shipped prior to v1.3 did not have a version label on them. If the SEG you are setting up does not have a
version label, then the firmware is prior to v1.3 and you cannot use this method and you MUST use one of the other 2 methods to
assign an IP Address to that particular SEG.
Using this method, no manual setup of the SEG IP Address via the SEG serial port is required.
If you are installing more than one SEG on your LAN you just need to write down the 12 digit MAC Address located on the label of
the SEG and write down which controller group that SEG is connected to for reference. For example:
MAC Address Description
00-20-4A-52-F2-84 Building 1, Floor 2, HubMaxII
00-20-4A-52-8B-89 Building 1, Floor 7, HubMaxII
00-20-4A-52-F4-12 Building 2, Floor 1, prox.pad plus
1. Press the button on the SEG setup screen (Fig. 1) labeled Search for SEG Devices to start the process.
2. A warning will be displayed (Fig. 2) reminding you what the firmware requirements are. Select Yes to continue the search.
3. In approximately 5-10 seconds a grid will be filled with any SEG devices that were found (Fig. 3) and a message will be
displayed asking you to select a SEG in the grid (Fig. 4).
4. If you are only installing one SEG and it was found during the search simply select the item in the grid. If you have installed
more than one SEG then select the SEG that has the same MAC Address as the SEG you are setting up for this site.
5. Now a message will be displayed asking you to generate a new Security Key (Fig. 5)
6. If you don't want to set the Security Key at this time then setup is complete, select save to Save and Close the Site Settings
screen.
7. If you want to change the Security Key, then select the button labeled 'Generate Random Security Key.
8. A message will then tell you to select the button labeled 'Set the Above Security Key into the SEG. (Fig. 6). Select that button
to send the new Security Key to the selected SEG.
9. Setup Complete
Now that the MAC address is known by Hub Manager Professional, if the DHCP server were to assign a new IP Address to this
particular SEG, then the next time you attempt to communicate with any of the controllers connected to this SEG, Hub Manager
Professional will retrieve the new IP Address from the SEG and will automatically save this new IP address into the Site Settings. This
saves you the time needed to reconfigure the IP Address in the Site settings screen.
