Configuring a multi-site gateway connection using express setup

  1. From the Windows® Start menu: Start > All Programs > EntraPass Global/Corporate/Special Edition > Workstation/Server > Express Setup. You may also launch Express Setup by clicking the Express Setup button from the registration window or gateway definition window.
    Note: The Operator login window appears only when starting Express setup in stand-alone mode.
  2. Enter your Operator user name and password, then click OK. The OK button is enabled when the Password field contains data.
  3. Select the gateway for which you want to configure a connection, then click the New connection button.
  4. Enter the connection name in the connection description field, then select the reader type.
  5. Select the Controller type for this connection.
    Note: The KTES option is available for a Multi-site Gateway only.

    There is no reader type or number of controllers to select when the controller type is a KTES.

  6. Select the Reader type .
  7. Set the Number of controllers .
  8. Specify the Connection type . This indicates how the connection communicates with the gateway computer. The connection types available will follow the controller type selection.
    • Select Direct (RS-232 or USB) , if the connection is integrated to the gateway computer and connected to it by an RS-232 serial port. If the connection type is direct, then you have to specify the serial port (com:) as well as the controller connection baud rate (usually set at either 9600 or 19200). The default value is 19200.
    • Select Ethernet (polling) if the connection communicates with the gateway through a terminal server device (Lantronix) using a port number. Then you have to specify the terminal server’s IP Address and Port number . To configure the terminal server, follow the manufacturer’s instructions or refer to the terminal server documentation.
    • Select Dial-up (RS-232) modem if applicable.
    • Select IP address (KT-400) if applicable. Complete the associated tabs.
    • Select IP address (KTES) if applicable. Complete the associated tabs.
    • Select IP address (IP Link) if applicable. Complete the associated tabs.
  9. Click OK .
  10. Specify the minimum configuration for the controllers or KTES defined in the site. This includes assigning a name to the controller/KTES, specifying the passback option, and entering the serial number.
    Note: The serial number column appears only for the KT-100, KT-300, KT-400 controllers and the KTES. The passback type column only appears for the KT-300 and the KT-400. The passback feature will not allow any card to re-enter unless it has been used to exit. This requires that readers be used for both entry and exit.
  11. For a new site with a KTES, go to Step 14.
  12. Check the Same door 1 and 2 and Same door 3 and 4 option if a reader is installed on each side of the door. The Same door 3 and 4 boxes are available only when you are using KT-400.
  13. Select the appropriate Passback type (none, soft or hard). If a door is defined as an access door, there is no anti-passback defined for this door. An entry or an exit door can be assigned a passback option.
  14. Go to Step 16.
  15. Check the Door contact option.
  16. Check the Postal lock option, if applicable, for a KTES only.
  17. Enter the Serial number , if this column is displayed. The serial number (S/N) is on a sticker and generally starts with Axxxxxxx .
  18. Click OK . The components associated with the controller and to the site are created in the server database. By default, the KT-200 and KT-300 are assigned two doors except for the KT-400 which is assigned four doors, if the Same door option is not checked. The following table summarizes default values that are assigned to controllers.
    Note: When the system is updating the database, the second status flag turns red, indicating that the system database is locked. When you try to access another system menu while the database is locked, an error message appears. Simply wait until the system database becomes available.

The following are default values assigned to controllers by the Express Setup program.

Table 1. Express Setup controller default values

KTES 1 3 4 2
KT-1 1 2 5 5
KT-2 2 2 8 5

The following table summarizes how input zones are used by the system for controllers.

Note: The remaining components (relays and input zones) are undefined, that is, they have been created but not yet defined. Components that are defined are grayed out. You cannot select them or change their description. You can change their description in their respective definition menu (Devices > Relays/Input zones).

By default, the system assumes that:

  • The reader is ioProx Kantech XSF Format,
  • The power supervision schedule is always valid,
  • The failsoft delay is enabled for 45 seconds,
  • The resistor type is none (KT-100, KT-300, KT-400 and KTES),
  • The wait for second card delay is 30 seconds.
