STEP 1 Install Hardware

1.1 Mount all enclosures and connect

all door hardware

Reader

System & Door
Controllers

• For more detailed installation instructions, refer to the Hardware Quick

Reference Guide for each SKU

• Keep System Controller and add-ons powered off while connecting readers

and door hardware

• Reader wiring will depend on reader type selected — refer to reader

documentation for details

• Optional I/O boards should be wired at this time

• Refer to the circuit board overlays for wiring locations

• For IP-based 1-door add-ons (IPSDCs), set the DIP switches prior to making

any wiring connections

• Make note of serial numbers and locations of readers and door controllers

(See the TruPortal Software User Guide for template)

1.2 Connect RS-485 bus between System

Controller and RS-485 based Add-ons

RS-485 Bus

System
Controller

• There are four independent RS-485 buses. You can use any or all of the four

buses. (31 2-door add-ons maximum; 8 I/O add-ons maximum; 24 modules
per bus maximum)

• Using multiple buses limits the failure scope in cases of individual bus outages

• Maximum distance for each bus is 4000 feet (1200 meters)

• Refer to Quick Reference documents and to wiring diagram on panel door

for additional details

Caution: Do not power add-ons from the System Controller via the RS- 485 bus.
Only connect A+, B-, and 0V between the System Controller and the add-ons.

STEP 1 Install Hardware

1.3 Connect network cable to System Controller

Ethernet Port 1
Network Socket

Default method (requires DHCP during initial setup and requires use of
“Discovery and Installation Wizard”):

• Connect network cable to Ethernet Port 1 using standard network cable

(no crossover cable required)

• Connect controller and PC to network switch

• Make sure PC is confi gured for DHCP or has a static IP address that is

compatible with the infrastructure

• Controller will receive an initial Ethernet Port 1 IP address via DHCP

Direct-connect method (does not rely on DHCP; “Discovery and
Installation Wizard” use optional):

• Directly connect PC to Ethernet Port 2 using a standard network cable

(no crossover cable required)

• Ethernet Port 2 is factory-confi gured for a fi xed address of 169.254.1.200

• Make sure PC is confi gured for DHCP or a static IP of 169.254.1.1

(in case of DHCP, PC will self-assign a 169.254.* address)

• Use Ethernet Port 2 only until the fi nal IP address has been assigned to

Ethernet Port 1 via step 2.2
