Configuring a Multi-site Gateway

  1. On the Devices definition tab, click the Gateway button.
  2. From the Gateway list, select the gateway to be configured.
  3. Under the General tab:
    • Select a Graphic and Video view to which the Gateway is assigned, if applicable. The video view feature will only be activated If the video feature is enabled in EntraPass.
    • If your multi-site Gateway connects to the first controller of a remote site via modem, click the Host Modem Definition button to configure the modem communication options.
      • Click the New button to add a modem to the modem selection list.
      • Configure the modem as per the example entries shown in the previous window and click OK to return to the Device definition window.
        Note: For reliability and configuration consistency, Kantech currently supports the US Robotics Sportster external modem only. Moreover, the Modem connection type should be set to Receive and transmit while the Modem settings should not be changed. If you are uncertain about modem setup parameters, consult your network administrator for the settings which apply to your particular hardware configuration.
  4. Under the Multi-Site Gateway tab, set the IP address and the Domain name for the gateway. A multi-site Gateway is configured to manage KT-100, KT-200 or KT-300 related events.
  5. Under the KT-100/KT-200/KT-300 Events tab, set the LED Timer on and Timer off for each event. A multi-site Gateway is configured to manage KT-100, KT-200 or KT-300 related events.
  6. Under the KT-400/KT-1/KT-2 Events tab, set the LED Pulse on and Pulse off for each event. A multi-site Gateway is configured to manage KT-400 related events.
  7. Under the KTES Events tab, set the LED Pulse on and Pulse off for each event.
    Note: EntraPass may support up to 41 multi-site Gateways.

  8. Under the Keypad delays tab, define keypad options.
    • In the Keypad delays section, enter the Inter-Digit Delay time (m:ss). It represents the maximum delay permitted between each selection of a keypad key by a user.
    • Enter the Time-out on keypad delay time (m:ss). It is set in seconds. It represents the maximum time allowed for users to begin entering their personal identification number at a keypad.
      Note: The maximum time allowed for both the inter-digit and time-out on keypad delays is 2 minutes and 7 seconds, and for KT-400 this is 4 minutes and 15 seconds.
    • In the Delays (Not applicable to KT-200) section, using the up/down arrows, determine the number of Invalid attempts before keypad disabled. Users have a maximum of 255 invalid attempts before the keypad is disabled.
    • Enter the Keypad disabled duration delay (h:mm). The maximum duration allowed is 4 hours and 15 minutes. When the counter reaches the maximum, the keypad will be disabled for all cards. It is disabled for the delay specified in the Keypad disabled duration field.
    • Enter the Reset attempt counter delay (m:ss). When the delay specified in the Reset attempt counter field is expired, the system will set the attempt counter to zero. The maximum delay is 4 minutes and 15 seconds. If the value entered is greater than the maximum allowed, then the system will use the previous correct value.
