Install Portal Gateways (Task 8)

The most common installation site is inside an existing protected area such as a locked room or other secure enclosure, or above ceiling level. If you are installing inside a dealer-supplied locked enclosure, refer to the instructions provided with that equipment. Figure 6 shows a Portal Gateway positioned in a protected area.

Connecting the Portal Gateway and Verifying Operation

Once the Portal Gateway is installed, connect and verify operation:

1 Connect the power supply to the Portal Gateway and plug the transformer into a dedicated AC power supply (wall outlet). The Power Indicator light should come on. See Figure 7.

2 Insert the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet connection on the bottom of the

Portal Gateway. The Link Indicator light should come on. After about 30 seconds, the yellow activity indicator light will flash under normal operation.

Note

If no protected area is available, consider positioning the Portal Gateway inside a locked enclosure designed for that purpose. Contact your dealer for more information.

Installing a Wireless Access Controller

The Wi-Q Technology Wireless Access Controller (WAC) provides an optional, cost effective way to retrofit an existing hard-wired application, or where the installed controller my be obsolete or unable to handle additional controller inputs.

It supports Wiegand-compatible keypad Controllers and is configured and monitored in Wi-Q AMS the same as a standard controller.

Note

Please check with your Stanley representative for a list of compatible controllers.

Using the Wireless Access Controller (Figure 8), you can add controllers or other

I/O devices to an overall wireless solution without the high cost of installing hardwire such as RS485 or CAT5 to the controller. You can position the controller at the door or where suitable above the ceiling tile.

Installation

Specific installation methods are dependent on the device type and configuration of the system; therefore, the WAC should be installed by a trained technician using the instructions provided with the controller.

WARNING: Wireless Access Controllers are intended for use in indoor or protected area. For other applications, such as outdoor use, contact the factory for the appropriate NEMA enclosure. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Stanley Security Solutions could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Wireless Access Control Wiring

The Wireless Access Controller (WAC) can be installed with its own 12 VDC power supply or slaved to the existing installation. Figure 9 is a wiring diagram illustrating both configurations.

Once the WAC is installed and all points connected, it will be recognized by Wi-Q

AMS as a ‘Controller’ in the system. For more information about configuring the

WAC in the software, see “I/O” on page 116.
