System deployment
The use of the existing computer
network
infrastructure,
standard
network protocols (DHCP for instance)
allowed to provide the “plug-and-play”
principle. The mode of the automatic
server address configuration in the
panels eases the wireless lock system
deployment significantly.
The algorithms for operation on each
step described below
Server addresses automatic configuration
for U-Prox IC A
1.
Panel checks for DHCP mode ON (panel address 0.0.0.0) or static IP
2.
If DHCP mode is ON, the dynamic IP address obtain routine will start
3.
The panel automatic configuration mode starts if the access control system
IP address (IP or DNS name) is not set:
a.
Panel sends data packages announcing access control system
server about itself as a new device in the local network
Despite it is broadcast announcement, it is limited with single range local network
and active network equipment. That’s why the IP addresses of the access control
system server are to be set manually for networks with sophisticated topology.
b.
The system will warn operator after the receiving of the data
package from the new panel. Operator must add panel to the
system database (DB).
c.
After the panel added to the DB it receives the answer from the
access control system server. The address of the access control
system server recorded into the control panel and it stops to
broadcast.
d.
Operator has to upload panel after its adjustment recorded into
the DB. Panel becomes associated to the certain access control
system server, eliminating panel control capture with another
system.
Return panel to the factory settings to eliminate the panel
association to the system
e.
In the case of access control system server IP address change
panel will initiate the automatic configuration routine, but the data
exchange will be possible with previously connected system only.
