EntraPass Gateways Configuration

EntraPass Gateways convert the information received from a controller or a connection and transmit the converted data to the server. Gateways also convert the information received from the server and transmit it to controllers. The gateways may be installed on a dedicated computer, or integrated with another EntraPass workstation.

EntraPass Global Edition supports two types of gateways: Corporate and Global. It also supports KT-NCC gateway functionality. All gateways interface the connections and the server. Except for the KT-NCC, the gateways may be installed on a dedicated computer, or integrated with another EntraPass workstation.

Note: For a single gateway, limits are 2048 connections, 10,000 doors, 100,000 inputs and 100,000 outputs.

Note...

EntraPass Global Edition is shipped with a Global Gateway and KT-NCC Gateway functionality. A single multi-site Gateway can be enabled through the Dual Gateway option without any additional license.

Additional Gateways (Corporate and Global) require additional licenses.

* System requirements may differ according to the size of the connections and the number of events generated per day.

Configuring a multi-site Gateway

1 - From the Devices definition tab, click the Gateway button.

2 - From the Gateway drop-down list, select the gateway to be configured.

Note...

If the Dual Gateway option was enabled for the Global Gateway application, a multi-site Gateway will be listed. See Configuring an Application.

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 on 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 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.

The following table lists all the events available in a multi-site Gateway:

Access denied	Postpone granted	Access denied - Waiting for a second card
Access granted	Arming request denied	Time-out on waiting for a second card
Time-out on access granted	Postpone denied	Access denied - Reader locked
Waiting for keypad (Note 1)	Door opened	Exit delay

Note...

The activation period for the event Waiting for keypad is defined under the Keypad delays tab .

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.

Configuring a KT-NCC Gateway

Before you start configuring your KT-NCC Gateway, make sure you consult with the Network Administrator to obtain the proper IP address to avoid network conflicts. For complete information on the KT-NCC, please refer to the KT-NCC Installation Manual, DN1611 and the KT-NCC Quick Configuration Guide, DN1656. There are three different network connections you can define and parameters will be setup according to your network architecture.

DHCP with Enterprise Server IP Address:

• Use this type of setup when assigning the company server IP address to communicate between the server and the KT-NCC.

Static IP address:

• Use this type of setup when you have a dedicated IP address for communicating between the EntraPass server and the KT-NCC.

Note...

The initial configuration will be done through a Web page. Please refer to the KT-NCC Installation Manual , DN1611 and the KT-NCC Quick Configuration Guide , DN1656.

WAN:

Use this type of setup in an environment where remote sites are protected with routers and they communicate with each other through the Internet.

1 - In the EntraPass Workstation main window, move to the Devices tab and click Gateway .

2 - In the General tab:

• Click the down arrow next to the text box marked Gateway and scroll down the selection of gateways until you reach your KT-NCC Gateway. The KT-NCC Gateway will appear along with a number on the right-hand side of the dialog.

• Select the Number of controller loops in the text box under Loop Configuration . The KT-NCC can physically support 7 controller loops.

• In the KT-NCC Time Zone configuration area, you must select the appropriate Time zone setting.

• Check the box underneath it if you want the system to automatically adjust the clock for daylight saving changes .

• Select a Graphic and Video view to which the gateway is assigned, if applicable. The Video View will only be activated If the video feature is enabled in EntraPass.

3 - Move to the Ethernet #1 tab to setup the KT-NCC network connection.

• Enter the KT-NCC MAC address . The first 6 characters in the MAC address (00-50-F9 in the example above) cannot be modified.

Note...

The MAC address can be found on the KT-NCC board, underneath the Ethernet #1 port. It is a 12-Digit hexadecimal code, with each two digits separated by a hyphen (that is: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx).

• The following table indicates which parameters to setup depending on your network environment.

Ethernet Port #1	Checked	Checked	Checked
Parameter	DHCP Enterprise	Static IP	WAN
Obtain an IP Address Automatically	Selected	N/A	Selected
