Configuring a KTES Using Express Setup

When you select a connection type to a new connection and immediately save, the system prompts you to use the Express Setup tool to define the device. You may also launch this tool by selecting a KTES and clicking the Express Setup (rabbit button) in the KTES dialog.

1 - From the Site  window, click on New to define a new site. Assign it a name for both languages.

2 - Under the General  tab, select the Controller type : Secure IP (KTES) .

3 - Click on Save , a message box should display: Do you want to use the Express Setup  program to configure the associated devices. Click Yes  to continue with the Express Setup .

•   If you click on No , you can always return to the Express Setup by clicking on the button.

4 - Check the Door contact  and the REX contact options.

5 - Check the Postal lock option, if applicable.

6 - Click the Advanced button to define the other devices, such as doors, inputs, relays and outputs.

Note: Components are listed in the left-hand pane. The related tabs are displayed in the middle of the window. When you select a component, its default name, number and default settings are displayed in the language section. Select a component to enable its tab. Components that are assigned are gray and cannot be modified at this stage. However, you may later modify any component description in KTES dialog menu ( Devices  > Kantech Telephone Entry System ).

Defining Relays

You may configure relays to define their operation mode, activation and deactivation schedules. If you want to assign a name to the relay, you have to select it. When you use the Select All button, the default names are kept.

1 - Select the first relay if you want to modify its description. The relay tab is enabled. You have to check the box beside the relay name in order to enable the language section.

2 - Check the appropriate options for the Operating mode .

3 - In the Automatic activation schedule drop-down list, choose the appropriate activation schedule.

Defining Inputs

By default, the response time for a REX is 250 ms; it is 500 ms for other input zones. The alarm restore time is 500 ms by default. The Express Setup program allows you to define the Input Normal State and Monitoring Schedule.

1 - Select the first undefined input (its checkbox is not gray). Check its box to enable the language fields, then assign names to it.

2 - Choose the Input normal state option.

3 - Select the Monitoring schedule  from the drop-down list. If you want to assign a custom schedule to the selected input, you have to define it in the Definition > Schedule .

Defining Auxiliary Outputs (LED and Buzzer)

If you want to change their assignment, you may do so while defining a controller or a KTES and in the Devices > Output.

1 - Select the first undefined output (its checkbox is not gray). Check its box to enable the language fields, then assign names to it.

2 - Choose the Operating mode option.

3 - Assign a door to the output from the Selected doors drop-down lists.
