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, click the Devices tab and click Gateway.
  2. On 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.
    • Enter the Billing Zip or Postal Code. This field is mandatory. Otherwise, the following warning message will be displayed:

      "CEGE_warning_zip_code00013.png"

    • 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 Graphicand 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).

      Note: We strongly suggest that you keep the Port number default value 18710.
    • Network Response Time is set to Average by default. You can modify it to specify the polling frequency between the EntraPass server and the KT-NCC.

      Parameter Communication Timing Very fast Latency period: max 300 ms Fast Latency period: max 800 ms Average Latency period: max 1500 ms Slow Latency period: max 2500 ms Very slow Latency period: max 4000 ms Extremely slow Latency period: max 6000 ms.

  4. Move to the Ethernet #2 tab when you need a second Ethernet port for setting up IP loops.
    • You will select to Obtain an IP address automatically when the server will assign an IP address.
    • You will select to Use the following IP address when you want to use a fixed IP address and Subnet Mask.
  5. Move to the Onboard Relays tab to define the activation event and longevity of any circuit connected to the relay terminals on the KT-NCC board.
  6. Make sure the Allow KT-Finder diagnostic access for KT-NCC option is checked.
    • Select the Activation on event for each enabled Onboard relay.
    • If the activation is only temporary, make sure that you check the Temporary activation box.
    • Enter the related activation period in the Timer fields.
  7. Click the KT-100/KT-200/KT-300 Events tab. Set the Timer on and Timer off for each event. A KT-NCC Gateway is configured to manage KT-100/KT-200/KT-300 events.
  8. Click the KT-400/KT-1/KT-2 Events tab. Set the LED Pulse on and Pulse off for each event. A KT-NCC Gateway is configured to manage KT-400 events.

    The following table lists all the events that are available in a KT-NCC Gateway.

    Table 2. All the events available in a KT-NCC Gateway
    Access granted Time-out on floor selection Door unlocked
    Access denied Request to exit granted Reader disabled
    Time-out on access granted Request to exit denied Waiting for a second card (Note 2)
    Waiting for keypad (Note 1) Door opened Time-out on waiting for a second card
    Time-out on keypad Door forced open Access denied - Waiting for a second card
    Bad code on keypad Pre-alarm door opened too long Access denied - Reader locked
    Valid floor selection Door open too long
    Invalid floor selection Door alarm on relock
    Note: The activation period for the event Waiting for keypad is defined under the Keypad delays tab in 9.
  9. Click the Keypad delays tab.
    • 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 the KT-400, it 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.
