1.0 Introduction to Doors NetXtreme

Doors NetXtreme (DoorsNXT) is versatile in that it will work within a small LAN with a single PC running the Server, Database and Client or within a Global WAN encompassing dozens of clients controlling thousands of doors.

Doors NetXtreme operates in a networked client/server environment. There are four basic components to the DoorsNXT architecture: NXT controller hardware, DoorsNXT server, DoorsNXT database, and DoorsNXT client (referred throughout this document as the controller, server, database, and client.

NXT controller hardware may be comprised of a combination of 2-door and 4-door NXT controller hardware, NXT 4x4 modules, Reader Interface Modules (RIM), and card readers (MS, Wiegand, and NXT).

DoorsNXT Server is the workhorse of Doors NetXtreme. It manages the communication between the clients and the NXT hardware.

DoorsNXT Database is SQL compliant, client/server software providing access from multiple concurrent sites with no third-party royalty fees. The database is automatically installed on the same computer as the server.

DoorsNXT Client provides an interface to configure the NXT hardware, operators, users, and access control functionality. The client is secured by an operator login. It communicates to the server over TCP/IP.

Configuration of DoorsNXT will require some general knowledge of TCP/IP Networking and will require specific knowledge of network details of the system to which DoorsNXT will be installed.

The following information must be known before attempting to install and configure DoorsNXT:

• The MAC address of the NXT hardware to be installed.

• The IP Addresses that will be assigned to the NXT controllers (each controller own IP Address).

• The Subnet mask to be used for the LAN segment where the controllers will be installed.

• The Gateway address for the Subnet.

the controllers.

Since the “Administrator” has access rights to every operation, anyone who knows the name and password will have complete programming access. Keri Systems recommends keeping this information a closely guarded secret.

4.1 Create a New Security Level

DoorsNXT comes with 2 pre-programmed security levels. A DoorsNXT Administrator has all access rights to every operation. Care should be given before assigning Administrator rights to an operator.

1. In the Setup Operators and Security Levels window/Security Levels tab, click on .

2. Rename the Security Level Name (name is limited to 32 characters in length).

3. Use drop down menu next to “Access:” to choose between none, read only, and read/write for each security right.

None

The operator does not have operation rights.

Read Only

The operator can view, but not make any changes to this operation.

Read/Write

The operator can view AND change the setup of that operation right.

4. Click on .

5.0 Networking

There are many factors involved in setting up the Network Communication on a DoorsNXT installation. Some data will need to be provided by a Network Administrator familiar with the network where the DoorsNXT is to be installed. The main factors to consider when setting up the network are:

• Location of the controllers and Subnet configuration

• Network Security and Firewalls

5.1 Location and Subnet Configuration

DoorsNXT can communicate to controllers on the local subnet or networks outside of the local subnet using the DoorsNXT Proxy. The Subnet Data (below) will differ for each subnet. Each controller is configured with a Subnet Property that consists of a Subnet Name, Proxy IP Address, Gateway Address, and Subnet Mask.

By default DoorsNXT is configured with a single Subnet Property: Local Subnet. This subnet communicates to the LAN connected to the DoorsNXT Server. There is no Proxy IP Address associated with the Local Subnet since it is not needed. The Local Subnet property cannot be deleted, but it can be disabled if necessary.

DoorsNXT can have multiple Subnet properties defined. To modify the local subnet property or create a new Subnet property, go to Setup Controllers > Properties > Subnets...

Figure 14: Setup Networking

1. Click on .

2. Rename the Subnet Name, if desired, to something that will make it easy to understand what is included in that particular Subnet.

3. “Use In Find” allows a subnet to be viewed during autoconfiguration.

4. If there is to be a Proxy IP, enter the address. A Proxy IP is a software agent that performs a function or operation on behalf of another application. For DoorsNXT, the Proxy IP is a software service running on a computer attached to a remote subnet.

5. Enter the Gateway IP Address. The Gateway is the IP address of a router used to transport TCP/IP data packets to network subnets that are outside of the local subnet.

01945-100 Rev. 4.0 Page 17

Doors NetXtreme

6. Enter the Subnet Mask IP Address. The Subnet Mask is a method of splitting IP networks into

subgroups. The “mask” separates the portions of the IP address significant to the network from the bits that are significant to the subnet. The subnet mask has the same format that is used by IP addresses. An IP address of 192.168.100.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 will only be able to communicate locally to other IP addresses in the range of 192.168.100.1-254. Communications to IP addresses outside of that subnet will be routed to the gateway.

5.2 Firewall and Network Security

The DoorsNXT server and controllers use specific ports to communicate to each other. These ports must be allowed access to pass through routers and firewalls in order to allow proper communication. This includes the software-based firewall applications, such as Windows Firewall, installed on any computer running DoorsNXT software or services (server, client, and proxy).

6. “Replace With” is used when replacing one controller with another (for further details, see the “Replacing An NXT Controller” Application Note.)

7. “Keep Current Record” allows previously assigned parameters should be kept when an autoconfig is performed that changes a portion of the system. “Keep Current Record” allows for certain areas to be kept “as is” while adding additional hardware.
