Commissioning
Commissioning requirements
In order to commission and set up
the Access server, you must ensure
that the following commissioning
requirements are fulfilled:
• The Access system is documented
(structures, administration of user
rights, devices, correlations, directo
-
ries, length of telephone numbers
(2-5 digits), information on call
number plans etc.)
• For regular operation of the Access
system, an Access user licence for up
to 320 users/devices must be pur
-
chased for a fee.
• Additional user licences are
required for software clients, third-
party devices and non-standard
functions.
• If the customer performs their
own Access installation, Access
licences can only be ordered from
Siedle at the start of commissioning
via Access Certified Partners, as
the hardware ID generated by the
Access server is required for this.
• The passive network infrastructure
has been completely installed and is
fully functional. All RJ45 connections
are located in the required positions.
• All switches required in the net
-
work and for the Access network are
ready for operation.
• All door stations are correctly
connected to the ATLC and ready for
operation, but not yet linked to the
network.
• All hardware indoor stations are
prepared for installation or installed,
but not yet linked to the network.
• POE (Power over Ethernet) is
available at all network connections
for hardware indoor stations (POE
switch or POE injector).
• The Firefox browser in the latest
version is required for commissioning
and is installed in the commissioning
computer, or is ready for subsequent
installation on the server.
Remark
• The Siedle Access servers (hard
-
ware variant) are already pre-in
-
stalled and ready for configuration/
set-up. The following steps for
installation of the server operating
system and the Access server soft
-
ware are omitted. The Access server
(hardware variant) can be reached
as standard over the IP address
192.168.1.1.
Procedure with customer's own
server hardware:
1
Set up the server hardware or
mount it in the required position in
the server cabinet.
2
Connect the server hardware to
the power supply.
3
Connect the server hardware to
the Access network.
4
Make available a computer for
configuration/set-up of the Access
server and connect this to the Access
network, or provide a possibility of
operating the Access server directly
using a monitor, keyboard and
mouse.
5
Switch on the server hardware.
6
Start the installation of the server
operating system and the Access
server software as instructed over
the following pages.
Note!
• In the as-delivered status of the
Siedle Access server as a hardware
variant, the DHCP and NTP server of
the Siedle Access server is active.
• If the IP address of the Access
Server has to be changed, first adjust
the IP address and then connect the
terminals to the server. Otherwise,
the terminals will be assigned the
wrong IP address and will have to be
restarted.
• In large systems, it is advisable
following the basic configuration
to link the terminals block by block
in logically cohesive groups to the
server, in order to allow them to
be configured in the Access server
administration.
Connecting and switching on the
server hardware
Irrespective of whether the server
hardware was supplied by Siedle,
or whether the customer's own
hardware is being used, this must be
connected to the power supply and
the network.
Remark
:
Operate the Access server
hardware exclusively within the
admissible ambient temperature of
10 °C to +50 °C.
Procedure with Siedle server
hardware:
1
Set up the server hardware or
mount the server hardware in the
required position in the server cab
-
inet.
2
Connect the server hardware to
the power supply.
3
Connect the server hardware to
the Access network.
4
Switch on the server hardware.
5
Make available a computer for
configuration/set-up of the Access
server and connect this to the Access
network, or provide a possibility of
operating the Access server directly
using a monitor, keyboard and
mouse.
