Activating the BioAxs 9750™
Once the installation of the access panel hardware and its supporting components has been
completed, the next step in the implementation process is DCM and BioAxs Panel Activation.
The BioAxs 9750™ Access Panel is always implemented in a one-to-one relationship with a Door
Commander Module (DCM). The details of the cabling between these two components are
covered in previous chapters of this guide.
To prepare the system for activation, complete the following steps:
Power the access panel 506 Door Controller Board (DCB) with 24 Volt DC Power
Power the USB Extender and DCM units with 110V AC Power
Ensure that a network cable (Category 5 Ethernet) is connecting the DCM to a local area or
private network that provides connectivity between the DCM and the Command Center server.
DHCP Client – The default configuration of the DCM unit is to come online as a DHCP Client (i.e.
on startup/boot up it will search the network for a DHCP Server to receive a valid TCP/IP
Address). If no such server exists, connectivity establishment between the DCM and the
Command Center server will fail (in this case use fixed IP Address as explained in option ii.)
Fixed IP Address – To use a fixed TCP/IP Address on the DCM, connect a keyboard, mouse and
monitor to the system prior to booting up. Modify the TCP/IP settings to use a fixed IP Address
instead of acting as a DHCP client.
For logging onto the DCM system use:
Username:
administrator
Password:
nextgenid
Ensure that all Windows Services required for the Command Center application are ‘started’.
These required services are:
DoorCommanderRestartService
NGIDDoorCommander
Message Queuing
MSSQL Server
Each of these services will be configured to start automatically by default when the DCM is
installed and configured at the factory. To confirm that each of the above services are ‘started’
log on to the DCM computer and use the ‘Services’ console in the Administrative Tools folder of
the computer’s Control Panel.
Once each of the above steps has been completed or confirmed, the DCM and Access Panel are
ready to be activated by your Command Center system. For specific instructions on performing
this task, refer to the Administration section of the
Command Center System Administration and
User Guide
