Express Setup

Express Setup allows you to configure system components such as sites and controllers, as well as devices associated with these components such as doors and inputs. This utility reduces programming to a minimum, allowing the installer to test the installation and system components. You may use it to configure a connection or to define controllers associated with a connection. When used to configure a connection, it allows installers to associate this connection to a gateway. It also allows installers to configure the connection rapidly, giving minimum configuration information about the controllers connected to it.

NOTE: You may launch Express Setup from Windows® menu:   Start  > All Programs  > EntraPass Global Edition  > Server  > Express Setup   or by clicking the Express Setup  button from a number of EntraPass workstations’ windows. There are two versions of the Express Setup program: Express Setup NCC configures Global Gateways only, and Express Setup configures Multi-site Gateways only.

When used to configure a controller, it allows operators to assign default values to a controller and to its associated devices (input, relays and output). In this case, it is launched from a system message box or from a controller definition menu.

NOTE: You have to log in to the server  when you launch Express Setup. In fact, as the program allows you to modify the system devices configuration, it is essential to authenticate yourself before proceeding with any modification.
