Introduction

and host interface solution in a single unit. They are designed to provide a complete and full-featured access control hardware/software infrastructure at “the edge” of the network for OEM software host systems.

Today, as more IT departments become involved in the security system implementation decisionmaking process, they prefer that access control be managed over the network. The EdgeReader and

EdgePlus address this by offering an IP-based solution incorporating PoE capability that takes advantage of existing LAN and CAT-5 cable infrastructure. In addition, they can be fully integrated into any host system utilizing an IP network software interface.

EdgeReader and EdgePlus Installation Part No. 82000-901

Step 1 Connect

1.1 Wiring the Edge Device

Reference 82000-902 Reference Card for wiring instructions.

Step 2 Contact

Contact the Edge device through two methods.

• Discovery Client (DHCP or Static TCP/IP Configurations Only)

2.1 Discovery Client

The Discovery Client provides a technician with a method of locating all of the Edge devices that are connected to a network. Edge device information is displayed providing the ability to ‘blink’ the Edge device Comm LED and configure it by launching a browser pointed at the Configuration GUI of the targeted Edge device. When the Discovery Client is launched, a discover command is issued and the

Configuration GUI screen is populated with the results. Also provided is the ability to refresh the

Configuration GUI screen on command.

Use this feature when the Edge device(s) and the network have been installed and are operational, but before the Edge device(s) has been configured. At this point, all of the Edge devices on a network will have the same host name and unknown IP addresses (assuming a DHCP environment). In this scenario, the only mechanism available to configure a Edge device is by placing one device on the network at a time. The Discovery Client provides an easy to use mechanism to configure Edge devices.

Update System

Update System allows the user to update the firmware on the Edge device. During a download the

Edge device image flashes between grey and yellow. When a download completes the image color changes to green for success or red for failure. If the download fails, a tool tip with the error status code may be viewed by hovering the mouse over the image.

Note: Depending on the system, it may take several minutes to completely download.

Network Defaults Jumper

The Network Defaults Jumper requires that someone with physical access to the Edge device place a jumper over the P65 header prior to the rebooting the device. The Edge device reconfigures its network settings to the factory defaults when the jumper is on the header. From this point, configuration (or re-configuration) will proceed normally.

Use the Network Defaults Jumper to correct potential errors in an Edge device network configuration.

CAUTION: Upon rebooting the Edge device (with a jumper in place,) all network configuration

information will be overwritten.

Figure 1 Network Defaults Jumper

1. Remove the jumper from Tamper header

2. Place the same jumper over the left two pins of the P65 header (as shown in Figure 1 Network

Defaults Jumper).

3. Reboot the Edge device to change all of the configuration settings back to the factory defaults.

4. After the LED turns amber, remove the jumper from the P65 header, returning it to the tamper header. Upon removing the jumper it takes approximately 60 seconds for the Edge device to reset. Once the reset is complete, the LED will return to green.

5. Configure the Edge device for your installation parameters.
