Adding System Components

Once the Server has been registered, you may install additional system components. These include EntraPass applications and other utilities such as the EntraPass Video Vault application. Before you install system components, make sure that the designated computer meets the minimum requirements. You do not need to call Kantech Technical Support to install the first two workstation applications and the first gateway application. These are part of the installation package..

1 - In the Server main window, click on the Connection toolbar (or Workstation application > Options toolbar), then click on System Registration. The System registration window appears.

NOTE: The EntraPass server is supplied with three workstation applications and one multi-site Gateway application. One workstation application is automatically installed when the server is installed. It is used for configuration purposes. It does not appear in the lower pane because it is automatically installed and registered. Use the installation CD-ROM and the Installation codes to install the four additional workstation applications. Make sure that the computer on which they will be installed meets the minimum requirements.

2 - Click the Print button to print the Installation codes, so that you can take the codes where you are installing the workstation or gateway applications. To avoid errors, do not copy the codes on a piece of paper.

NOTE: When you install an advanced option (for example an additional gateway), you can configure its sites using the Express Setup program.

3 - From the System registration  window, select the component you want to install. Then select the Click here to install component  button (left-hand pane). The Component Registration  (Name of component) window appears.

4 - Enter the Option Serial Number (located on the Option Certificate).

NOTE: There are two ways of registered a new component; register online at www.kantech.com or contact your local Kantech technical support to get the registration confirmation code.

5 - Go to www.kantech.com and click on the Member Center.

NOTE: If you are not a member yet, submit your request and your membership confirmation should be received by email within 1-2 business days.

6 - C lick on Kantech Registration .

7 - Enter the System Serial Number and follow the instructions online.

8 - Return to the EntraPass Component Registration  screen and enter the Registration Confirmation Code , then click OK . The OK button is only enabled when both codes are valid.

NOTE: After entering the Registration Confirmation Code, the system generates an Installation Code in the System registration  screen. Blue flags identify components that have been created, but not yet activated. Green flags indicate components that have been activated. The installation code is required when you are ready to install the component with the EntraPass CD-ROM.

9 - Repeat steps 3 to 8 for each system component.

NOTE: You need to establish communication between the EntraPass Server and the computer where the new component/option is installed (if applicable). Perform this step only if you have installed the component/option on a computer other than where the EntraPass Workstation application has been installed.
