Preparing to Install
eMerge System Overview
eMerge is a web-based system that does not require a computer to operate. A
computer is required only for system setup, programming, and monitoring.
eMerge is provided in a contro ller cab ine t containing the following:
• A Mini-ITX Network Controller running the controller application software.
• A SAM-E module providing network connectors and power buttons.
• A Network Node blade running the node application software.
• An access control blade that supports up to two card readers.
You can add up to three additional application extension blades to the
cabinet. For more information, see “Connecting Readers, Inputs, Outputs,
and Temperature Sensors” on page 12.
Note: The cabinet for the supported eMerge expansion node is the same except
that it does not contain a Mini-ITX Network Controller.
Topology Considerations
Issues to consider when selecting a topology for the installation include
simplicity, security, wiring requirements, bandwidth requirements, site distances,
current network topology, and the number of security system resources to be
wired.
The simplest topology, shown in Figure 1, will be the most common case for
small systems. All users and network resources share the same LAN.

Figure 1. The simplest topology for a eMerge installation. (Not Evaluated
by UL)
This topology shown in Figure 2 is somewhat more complicated, but it is
inherently more secure.

by UL)
233190 X3 Linear LLC 4 May 2013
Page 9
Preparing to Install
In this case, a security VLAN is used to create a subnet for the security system.
As a result, the corporate LAN does not directly carry traffic between the Nodes
and the Controller.
The advantages to this topology are increased network security and decreased
bandwidth requirements. The disadvantages include potentially increased wiring,
and greater complexity.
System Requirements
Network Requirements
The application is designed to work with Ethernet networks using TCP/IP.
Although it will operate on 10baseT networks, 100baseT is preferred. A
100baseT network may be required for good performance if IP cameras and/or
digital video are used.
Note: Networking is not evaluated by UL, only standalone systems.
Before beginning the installation, obtain the following information from the
customer’s network administrator.
Static IP addresses for the blade running combination Controller application
software, and for each blade running node-only application software.
Subnet mask for the controller and nodes.
Gateway IP address.
DNS (Domain Name Server) IP address(es), if any.
Browser Requirements
The application is designed to work with the following web browsers:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer Versions 8 and 9 (recommended)
• Mozilla Firefox Versions 10 and 11
• Apple Safari Version 5
Power Requirements
• DC power is provided via a Listed UL 603 power-limited supply and must
have 12V± 1% DC at a minimum of 5 amps. Source power must come from
a separate circuit with its own breaker and an isolated earth ground.
233190 X3 Linear LLC 5 May 2013
Page 10
Preparing to Install
Environmental Requirements
• Operating temperature range: 32° F to 120° F (0° C to 49° C).
• Operating relative humidity range: Up to 85% non-condensing.
Static Electricity Precautions
The system components can be damaged by static discharge. Observe the
following precautions when handling and installing these components:
• Discharge by touching a ground before handling components.
• Wear a grounded wrist strap or stand on a grounded mat.
• Limit movement to limit static buildup.

Mounting the Cabinet
There are three holes in the back of the eMerge cabinet for mounting it to the
wall, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Wall mount eMerge cabinet.
The two mounting holes near the top of the cabinet are keyholes and should be
mounted first. The lower hole can then be drilled using the cabinet as a template.
Mounting hardware should be sufficient to hang a 25 pound (11.34 kg) load.
Wall space required to fully open the cabinet doors is twice the width of the
cabinet. The door opens from right to left as you face the cabinet. It is
recommended that the cabinet be mounted in a location where the door can be
fully opened.
233190 X3 Linear LLC 8 May 2013
Page 13
Installing Additional Blades
The eMerge cabinet has five slots in the aluminum chassis. The le ftmost slot is
reserved for the Network Node blade running the node application softwa re. Th e
access control blade provided is mounted to its right, in slot 1.
The remaining slots, numbered 2 through 4, can hold any combination of access
control, input, output, and temperature application extension blades.
Figure 4. Slots for installing application extension blades.
You can use the slots in any sequence you choose. Note that the slots are physical
mounting points only. The electrical connection is made through the ribbon
cable, shown in Figure 5 on page 10.
How Slot and Position Numbers are Determined
Regardless of the physical slot in which a blade is mounted, its slot number is
determined by the ribbon-cable connector you plug into the blade. This is
because the ribbon cable (shown in Figure 5) is a bus, and a blade’s position on
the bus determines its slot number.
For example, even if a blade is mounted in physical slot 3, if it is attached to
ribbon cable connector 4, the application will see it in slot 4 on the bus.
233190 X3 Linear LLC 9 May 2013
Page 14
Installing Additional Blades
Important: The blade running the node application software must be attached
to the leftmost connector on the ribbon cable.
Figure 5. Ribbon cable bus viewed from above.
Position numbers are determined by the connector position on the blade itself.
For more information, see the sections “Connecting Readers” (page 12),
“Connecting Inputs” (page 14), and “Connecting Outputs” (page 20).
CAUTION: Blades are not hot-swappable. Before connecting or disconnecting
blades in the cabinet, be sure to remove power from the system,
after stopping all processes.
To install a slot-mounted blade in the cabinet:
1. Log into the application.
2. Select Setup : System Maintenance : Utility.
3. Click the Shutdown now button to perform an orderly shutdown of the
system.
Using the Shutdown utility will ensure that the security database is saved.
4. Once you hear a double beep, remove power from the system.
5. Thread the provided standoff tube down onto the threaded post on the
chassis, next to the slot where you will insert the additional blade.
6. Be sure that you are grounded, and then insert the additional blade into the
slot on the chassis with the ribbon cable connector toward the bottom of the
cabinet. See the following diagram.
7. Place the provided lock washer over the top of the standoff, and thread the
provided screw through the flange and down into the top of the standoff and
snugly down onto the lock washer. See the following diagram.

Connecting Readers, Inputs, Outputs, and Temperature Sensors
Each eMerge supports up to four application extension blades in any
combination. There are four types of application extension blades:
• Access control blade: Includes two Wiegand reader interfaces, four
supervised inputs, and four relay outputs. (6V / 70mA)
o An access control blade is included in the cabinet.
o An access control blade is compatible with UL listed 26 bit, 128 bit, and
200 bit Wiegand readers.
• Input blade: Includes eight supervised inputs. (6V / 60mA)
• Output blade: Includes eight relay outputs. (6V / 55mA)
• Temperature blade: Includes eight temperature input points. (Not UL listed.)
You can easily add application blades to your system in the future by following
the steps on page 10.

Connecting Readers, Inputs, Outputs, and Temperature Sensors
Note: Each access control blade provides a maximum of 400mA peak power to
the readers, 1 x 400mA or 2 x 200mA per board (1.6A maximum is
supplied). If the reader(s) connected to the access control blade draw
more than 400mA, external power must be supplied to these readers by a
UL603 Power Limited Supply .
The access control blade will not function properly if the reader(s) draw
more than 400mA peak.
The color-coded wires from the reader wiring harness must be connected to
the 7-pin connector. The color-coding for Power (red), Ground (black), Data 0
(green), and Data 1 (white) is Security Industry Association (SIA) standard.
• Reader Beeper control: This varies by manufacturer and model. Refer to
the documentation provided by the reader manufacturer for details on your
particular reader. Typically, the reader will beep for the duration of a
momentary unlock, or until the door is opened. This occurs whether the door
is unlocked by a valid card read or from the application. If no beeper is
desired, do not connect the beeper control wire.
• Reader LED control: Th is varies by manufacturer and model. Some use
two-wire LED control and some use one-wire control. Refer to the
documentation provided by the reader manufacturer for details on your
particular reader. Control involving signal pulsing to change LED color is
not supported.
The access control blade has both red and green LED control connections. The 7pin reader connector wiring is shown in Figure 7 on page 13.
Note: LED display behavior for your particular reader may vary. Refer to the

Adding a Backup Battery
To install a battery backup for node and additional blades:
Battery standby power has not been investigated by UL.
The network node does not include a battery, but one can be provided and
mounted on the floor of the wall mount cabinet. The recommended battery is a
12 Volt Sealed or Valve Regulated Lead Acid type with a capacity of either 7AH
or 12AH.
The battery cable is included but is not pre-installed. This cable has a 3-pin
connector for the node (with the center position empty) and two quick connectors
for the battery term in al tabs.
CAUTION: Do not connect the battery terminals and the node until power is
supplied to the node.
The specified battery is not meant to function as a UPS, but rather to supply
sufficient power for two to six hours of system function in case of power failure.
Do not connect a battery before external power is supplied. It will imme diate ly
power up the node and begin to drain the limited battery power. Once external
power is supplied, you can connect the battery and it will charge at 12V via the
connection with the node.

Setting Up a Small Configuration Network
Before connecting the controller to the corporate network, be sure to review the
following information. You may need to set up a small network between the
eMerge system and a PC that can be used to configure the system before it is
connected to the corporate network.
Network Setup has not been evaluated by UL.
The system is configured with a factory default IP address of 192.168.0.250:
• If this is a valid address on a corporate network that is available for use, you
can connect the system, in its factory default state, to the corporate network
before configuring it. The corporate IT organization will be able to tell you if
the default IP address is available on the corporate network.
• If the system’s default IP address is not available on the network, it will need
to be changed during the initial software setup, to an address provided by the
corporate IT organization.
Important: Do not connect the system to the corporate network until its IP
address has been changed to a valid address on that network.
To allow the person who will complete the initial software setup to change the
system’s IP address before connecting it to the network, you should create a
small network between the eMerge system and the configuration PC.
To set up a configuration network:
1. Put an Ethernet switch between the eMerge system and the PC that will be
used for the initial software setup, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 24. A configuration network.
233190 X3 Linear LLC 30 May 2013
Page 35
Setting Up a Small Configuration Network
The Ethernet switch can be of any size, but you should not use a switch that
is already being used for another purpose.
2. Ensure that the person who will perform the initial software setup knows that
the IP address of the configuration PC must be changed to a static value of
192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 100 and 200). For more
information, refer to the “Initial Software Setup Guide.”

Rebooting Using the RESET Button
When the system is running, you can use the Power button to perform an orderly
or hard shutdown:
• Momentarily pressing the Power button performs the same function as an
orderly shutdown performed through the software. The system status LED
starts to blink, indicating a shutdown of services. You will hear a double
beep once the shutdown process is complete.
To restart the controller after an orderly shutdown, momentarily press the
Power button again.
• Holding down the Power button for longer than 5 seconds performs a hard
shut down of the controller, killing all process es immediately. The system
status LED blinks until the controller has shut down, at which point you can
release the button. You will hear no beeps.
To restart the controller after a hard shutdown, press the Power button
momentarily, or power cycle the controller by turning off power to the
system and then turning it back on. The system status LED will blink while
the system is starting up, just as for a normal startup.
Note: If after 30 seconds following a power cycle the system status LED
does not start to blink, momentarily press the Power button to start
the controller.
Using the Reset Button
Although you should use the software to reboot the system, you can use the Reset
button if the software is unavailable. The results of the reboot operation will be
slightly different, however, as described in the table below.
Pressing the Reset button performs the same function as a reboot performed
through software, except that you will not hear a double beep indicating a reset.
The system status LED goes out, and then starts blinking. Once the LED remains

e
Reader Power Available from the eMerge System
The total current that one eMerge system can provide to all readers is 1600
milliamps. Each access control blade can supply up to a total of 400 milliamps at
12VDC to readers. For example, an access control blade can supply 400
milliamps to one reader or 200 milliamps to each of two readers. If the readers
require more current, or a different voltage, then power must be provided by a
separate UL603 Limited-power supply.
For example, many Wiegand-compatible proximity readers from HID require
200 milliamps or less. The Node can power 8 readers, which is 8x200mA = 1.6A.
Long range proximity readers may require more power. Refer to the reader
manufacturer documentation for power specifications.
Other than readers, any other components in the system (such as magnetic locks)
must have power provided separately.
