PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Prior to installing Openpath hardware, perform a customer site survey to determine
the following:
l
How many entries need to be configured (e.g. doors, gates, and/or elevator
floors)
l
Whether you're using legacy wiring or new wiring
l
What kind of electronic entry mechanisms, Request to Exit (REX) mechanisms,
and door contact sensors will be used and their power requirements.
l
Whether you're providing backup batteries for the SDCs. See
l
Whether you're supporting a legacy access control panel for mobile gateway.

NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
An Ethernet connection with DHCP must be used to connect the SDC to the Local Area
Network (LAN). You also need to configure firewall settings to communicate with the
Openpath system. Openpath uses the following outbound ports:
l
TCP port 443
l
UDP port 123
Note:
If using an external DNS server, outbound UDP port 53 must also be open.
