To program an IP Address into a SCP controller, from an unknown IP setting, power the controller down and then select Dip Switch’s
S1-1 and 1-2 to ‘On’. (i.e. Switch them towards the centre of the board.). Then power up the controller. This sets the controller to a known fixed default IP address of 192.168.0.251.
You can then log into the controller using a Web
Browser via this now known IP Address.
C.
When the controller is reached it will prompt you for a user name and password. The default
Username = admin and Password = password.
B.
Open your browser and enter the IP
Address of 192.168.0.251. (Or if the IP Setting of the SCP controller is known, but needs to be changed to suit the IP range of the IS2000 computer, then enter the known IP Address into your web browser), then click on “Click Here to
Logon”

As default these controllers come from the factory set for DHCP. Therefore once you connect it to a DHCP assignable router it will be assigned an IP address for your to connect to.
1. “Controller Discovery Utility”. This utility will scan the LAN and display all SCP, APC and
Ness IP Series controllers on the LAN regardless of what IP range they are programmed to.
Alternatively you can use a cross over LAN cable and direct connect to the controller using a default IP of 169.254.242.121.
You can then click on “Configure” to access the
LAN settings.
Set you computer to this range and then using a web browser such as Internet Explorer (IE) enter
http://169.254.242.121/cgi-bin/setup.cgi?Type=basic
to access the network setup for that controller.
The system will prompt for a user name and password.
As default the
Username = admin with no password.
(some controllers maybe set with a password, if so use 123456)
(Handy Info – Another handy tool that maybe of use is a network monitoring tool such as

Each card has a Bit Format that establishes the number of data positions that are stored on the card and can be queried by the Reader. For example, the card’s Bit Format might be 26 Bit, this would mean that there are a sequence of numbers on the card that might look like this in example 1:
The positions of 7, 8, 9, 10, & 11, (example 2) in the sequence would represent a returned value of 87503 as the card’s number. The Card
Format settings in the IS2000 System will tell the Reader what positions to look at (different
per manufacturer of cards and readers) and what to report back with.
Example 1:
24098487503591109872094321
(26 digits total)
Each number represents a position in the 26 bit sequence. The Reader is then instructed by the software and Controller (per Card Format settings) to look at the designated positions and then established that value in each position as the card’s unique code number.

Controllers
Example 3:
240
984
87503
591109872094321
In addition to Bit Formats, most cards today have a Facility Code, (sometimes referred to as
a site code) which adds an additional number in front of the bit sequence and establishes an additional layer of security to the card and also increases the overall card population that can be produced by the manufacturers of cards. In the example 3 above, 240 is the Facility Code for this card. In the software the system can be programmed to ignore the Facility Code, however it is not recommended and decreases your system’s security level.
If you already know what your Facility Code and Bit Format are, you can proceed to Cards
Formats in the Hardware Manager screen however, it is a good idea to follow through with this following exercise to make sure the codes and formats are as you expected. The IS2000
Software will allow you to set-up up to 8 different card types (with different Bits and
Codes) in the system per Controller.
37.
Click on the Event Module button and proceed to the Event Manager screen.
38.
Present a card to a reader and then check the Event screen for information regarding the bit number. Your first card read should produce an event of Access Denied: Invalid 26 Bits for example. This means the system doesn’t recognize the bit format of the card and that need to be programmed into the system.

Another good practice after performing and completing all of the systems initial set-up tasks and populating the database with the initial card holder records is to do a Reset on the controller(s). This task will sync the controller(s) with the data in the IS2000 application. With new systems, as you get used to programming, there is a tenancy to error, edit, delete items and start over numerous times. The Reset will make sure the controller(s) have the correct information as programmed into the IS2000
