All programmed functions are accessed by entering * # * <FUNCTION NUMBER>.
For example to
set the IP address enter “* # * 1”, a confirming tone will be heard from
the controller and the new address can then be entered.
Functions
Two programming functions are provided with the FORTESSA.net:

Set FORTESSA.net IP Address (Required)

Set Server IP Address Filter (Optional)
The only required setting is the IP address. Note that if the FORTESSA.net is
connected to the same subnet as the Server PC; then the FORTESSA.net IP address
can be set from the software. The keyboard is primarily used to set the address when
the FORTESSA.net is on the other side of a router on a different subnet.
In addition, the FORTESSA.net communications with the server PC can be locked
down by specifying the server address.
Set FORTESSA.net IP Address
The FORTESSA.net IP address is the address used by Doors Express to communicate
with the FORTESSA.net and attached controllers. This needs to be a fixed IP address.
If connected to the end users LAN, a suitable address must be provided by the network
supervisor from the fixed IP address range. The factory set value for this is
192.6.32.200.
To set the IP address to: 192.168.0.27 enter the following sequence.
* # * 1 192 * 168 * 0 * 27 #
Set Server IP Address Filter (Optional)
This function is entirely optional and not required for the operation of the
FORTESSA.net with Doors Express. Its purpose is to filter which IP address that the
FORTESSA
.net will accept data from. This, in effect “locks” the FORTESSA.net to
work with one server only, preventing any possible hacking. The down side to this is
that if the servers IP address changes this value will have to be updated in the
FORTESSA.net. The factory set value for this is 0.0.0.0 (Disabled)
To set the IP address to: 192.168.0.5 enter the following sequence.
* # * 2 192 * 168 * 0 * 5 #
Controller / Door Name Table
On the following page is a table for the door controller ID label to be located during
installation. Simply attach the sticker to the table and enter a brief description of the
location of the door controller. This list can then be checked during setup to confirm
that all doors are on the system and labelled correctly.
