General Architecture
The ENGAGE Gateway can work in two modes.
1.
RSI Mode
In this mode, the Gateway communicates with
an access control panel (ACP) and alliance
partner access control software to control the
system. Power is supplied by the ACP power
connector (12 or 24V) or the included wall
power supply. Data is supplied by either a 2-
or 4-wire RS-485 connection from the ACP.
2.
IP Mode
In this mode the Gateway communicates
to an access control server over IP using
an ethernet cable. The Gateway must be
recommissioned to switch between the
following modes of IP operation:
• Client mode: the Gateway and access
control server reside within the same
network.
• Host mode: the access control server resides
outside of Gateway’s local network. The
Gateway will communicate to the access
control server via websockets. The access
control server must have websockets
configured before the Gateway is able to
connect.
Power Status
Power status is indicated by the status LED
located on the front of the ENGAGE Gateway.
To see the power status LED location, refer to the
.
Communication Status
When the Gateway is configured to communicate
with an RS-485 access control panel, the transmit
and receive status is indicated with two LEDs,
located on either side of the RS-485 connector.
When the Gateway is configured to communicate
with an IP-based host over ethernet, the status of
the LAN link is indicated on the ethernet port of the
Gateway.
