1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. AREA OF USE

The transponder terminal is a combination between a wall-mounted reader and its
associated software application. This combination is used to re-programme trans­ponders. It allows the administrator to prepare changes and updates to the trans­ponder configuration which are implemented when the user activates the trans­ponder, but the administrator does not need to present when the update actually
takes place.

1.2. PREREQUISITES

The following components are required to use the transponder terminal:

• LSM.BUSINESS an installed LSM Business Edition as a minimum

• LSM.ONLINE online module

• Installed and configured Comm Node server

• Server network connection

• Transponder terminal network connection

• Communication between server and transponder terminal;

you will need to take router and firewall configuration into account!

Note:

Please note that the program and its associated configuration tool are only available
in English.

Contact your IT department in advance regarding questions about setting up the in­ternal network connection. System administrator rights are required for software in­stallation and configuration.

2.0 INITIAL OPERATION OF TRANSPONDER TERMINAL

PROCEDURE

• Hardware configuration

• Software installation

• Configuration of software components

2.1. HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

To put the transponder terminal into operation, you need to connect it to an accessi­ble IP network. We recommend using a DHCP server to ensure better availability.
The configuration can then be carried out either using the 'XTAdminXXL' program as
described in the next section or by entering the IP address in the browser (see Sec­tion 2.1.5).

Note:

Any changes which differ from the configuration specified by SimonsVoss may
mean that the device switches to a non-defined status. This may result in the
device no longer

being operable.

2.1.6 TESTING THE TRANSPONDER TERMINAL

The transponder terminal functions and settings can be tested using the 'TestTran­sTerm.exe' software. You need to launch the software in the directory where the
TestTransTerm.exe file is saved.

This test enables you to check the readout from a G2 Lock (cylinder, Smart Relay re­quired) and the event button function (right-hand side of the housing).

Possible launch parameters (prompt):

-h, --host <IP addr> : IP address of target host

--portUDP <port> : UDP communication port (default 1003)

--portTCP1 <port> : TCP1 communication port (default 1003)

--portTCP2 <port> : TCP2 communication port (default 1002)

-w, --waitCycle <millisec> : time interval between two test cycles(default 10000)

-c, --waitOnCD <millisec> : time interval for waiting of CD answer(default 7000)

-b, --waitOnButton <sec> : time interval for waiting of button press(default 5)

-r, --cycleCount <times> : the number of test cycles, "0" means undetermined workflow
(default: 0)

-?, --help : this message

forward feedback signals to the database.

The Comm Node server should have been installed when the software was set up for
operation. You can check this is the case as described below. If it has not yet been
installed, please do so now. You will find the installation instructions in the 'Communi­cation node' section in the 'LSM – IT Administration' manual.
