The information that you need to save is as follows:
Serial
:
The serial number of the reader, normally in the format IPU-0000-0000, is a unique identifier
issued and created by iPulse for every device they sell. This serial number is used to determine
the warranty period of the device, and to track its movement history from the time it was
manufactured until its eventual removal from service. This number will be required in all
communications with iPulse or any of its distributors or resellers when requesting support,
service or information. It is also used with the
IQ
Suite.cloud
solution when adding a device to
the database.
MAC
:
The MAC address, as defined by Wikipedia, is a media access control
address
(
MAC address
)
of a computer (sic), and is the unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for
communications at the data link layer of a network segment.
MAC addresses
are used as a
network
address
for most IEEE 802 network technologies, including Ethernet and Wi-Fi.
As the iPBx biometric device is in effect a computer, running the Linux operating system, it too
has a unique MAC address, taken from the iPulse Systems pool of MAC addresses. This
address will be needed when configuring the device on multi-layer switches, as well as when
using the iPBx with certain software, such as
IQ
Suite.cloud
or XTIME.
It is useful to know that all iPulse MAC addresses begin with 00:11:2D.
Access Key
: The Access Key is a unique security key allocated to your device and is specifically required
when connecting your iPBx to
IQ
Suite.cloud
. This key, when combined with the serial number
of the iPBx, gives significant control to a user, and the key should thus be carefully and safely
stored for future reference.
