Atlas x00 Series Access Control Panels Installation Guide
Introduction
Requirements
1.
Obtain an available static IP address and configuration from the network
administrator.
2.
(Optional) Obtain a signed HTTPS certificate. This provides some additional
security and avoids web browser warning messages. Supported certificate
formats are PEM or PFX. See “Complete the Configuration,” below.
3.
Find out whether using network time protocol (NTP) to automatically update
the controller clock over the Internet is possible and acceptable, as well as
whether non-standard time servers are used (such as corporate time serv-
ers). With a typical small network, it is safe to assume NTP will work with
default Atlas Series settings.
Procedure
1.
Understand how an Atlas Series system networks together by reading the
brief section, “Understanding the Atlas Series Network”.
2.
Connect a computer directly to a controller and run the initial configuration
program. This step must be completed before the controller will operate on
the network.
3.
Connect the controller to the local network.
4.
Log in to the controller with a web browser and complete essential configu-
ration.
5.
Add a user and test door access.
6.
Add any secondary controllers you are installing.
Help
This guide refers you to online help topics for more detailed information. The
help is available once you have connected the first controller and logged in to
the Web Management Application. Open it by selecting “Help” from the menu in
the upper right corner.
Expected Browser Warnings
Your browser will display an insecure site warning each time you log in to the
Web Management Application. The exact text of the warning, and the way to
resolve it, varies among browser applications. You can prevent this warning by
installing a signed HTTPS certificate when directed, below.
