Kantech KT-1, Installation Manual

Page: 13 / 50

Communication Ports
• 1 10/100Base-T (ETH1) PoE+ for network connection with the EntraPass Gate-
way
• 1 RS-232 for communication and integration with third party systems (RS232 is
only available on the KT-1-PCB unit)
Note: For UL listed installations this is for supplementary use only.
• 1 RS-485 (COM1) for communication with EntraPass and/or loop of controllers
• 1 RS-485 (COM2) for future use
IP Connectivity With or Without PoE/PoE+
When used with EntraPass Special Edition, Global Edition and Multi-Site Gateway,
the KT-1 can gather its configuration through an IP connection over the LAN (Local
Area Network) and over the Internet for a WAN (Wide Area Network), (WAN con-
figuration not recommended with Global Edition). In this mode, the 1st controller
becomes a “Master Controller” and can poll up to 31 Kantech controllers. The KT-1
is compatible with all the controllers. The KT-1 asynchronously polls the controllers
(KT-100, KT-300, KT-400) and communicates with the EntraPass Gateway, only
when necessary. This significantly reduces the amount of bandwidth required to
operate your security system on the network.
Note: The KT-100 is not UL listed model, do not use in UL listed applications.
PoE will provide power for the unit up to 13W. PoE+ provides power for the unit
up to 27W. Use only PoE/PoE+ source or external power supply source to power
KT-1.
Compatible Tested PoE and PoE+ Switches
The following switches have been tested for use with the KT-1:
• Netgear FS108p (PoE)
• Altronix netway8 (PoE+)
• Trendnet TPE-T80 (PoE+)
• Trendnet TPE-105i (PoE+)
• Philong PoE36U-180-R or Poe125U-4-HP-R
The supervision of IP network connection between KT-1 and Entrapass is controlled
by the network pulse time. This feature is programmable in EntraPass between 15
second and 10 minutes. Default times are (1 minute for EntraPass CE and 15
