This document provides a general overview of the steps required for
a Synergis™ IX deployment. For full installation and configuration
instructions, refer to the Synergis™ IX Deployment
Guide and other Synergis™ IX hardware installation
guides on the Genetec™ TechDoc
Hub.
Before you begin
Connect the
Synergis™ IX controller to a network with
DHCP enabled.
If no DHCP server is available on your network when the Synergis™ IX unit is powered on, the unit will have an APIPA
address of 169.254.x.x. If required, short Reader 1 D0 input and Reader 1 L1 output and
power cycle the unit to get the temporary IP address 192.168.111.222. Ensure that the
controller is powered down before powering on again.
Procedure
From the Synergis™ IX
Portal:
-
Log on to the Synergis™ IX controller.
In a web browser, enter
https://SIX
followed by the MAC address of
the unit without separators.
NOTE: The MAC address is found on the label on the controller.
For example, if the label says 00:1C:B2:43:D4:E6, then the URL for that controller is
https://SIX001CB243D4E6
.
-
Set a static IP address. Click .
-
Power cycle the unit. Ensure that the controller is powered down before powering on
again.
NOTE: After setting the static IP, you cannot ping the unit to test connectivity. Instead,
use the unit’s portal URL.
-
Connect to the unit and change the default admin password. Click .
-
Configure expander modules. Click .
-
Configure the reader network settings. Click , and then select RS-485 or
Wiegand.
-
Configure the intrusion detection areas. Click .
-
Configure inputs and off-site monitoring. Click .
From the Synergis™ Appliance Portal:
-
Log on to the Synergis™ Cloud
Link appliance.
-
If not already done, change the default admin password. Click .
-
Enroll the Synergis™ IX controllers (through their
static IP addresses) to the Synergis™ Cloud
Link appliance.
-
Add Synergis™ IX as the hardware type. Click .
The HTTPS public key field can be left blank; it is
automatically populated when the Synergis™ IX controller
is successfully added.
From Config
Tool:
-
In the System task, create the Intrusion Manager role.
-
Configure the Access Manager role.
NOTE: For names to be displayed on keypads that can display cardholder names, enable the
Include identifiable personal data in synchronization option of
the Access Manager role.
-
Enroll the Synergis™ Cloud
Link unit.
-
Create and configure cardholders and credentials.
NOTE: In Synergis™
Softwire 11.3.0 and earlier, each Synergis™ IX controller supports only one card format and a
maximum card format length of 40 bits. Starting in Synergis™
Softwire 11.3.1, each Synergis™ IX controller supports up to eight card formats and a
maximum card format length of 64 bits.
-
Create and configure cardholder groups.
NOTE: For cardholders to enter a PIN on the intrusion keypad, you must select a value for
the Menu option on the Synergis™ IX page of their cardholder
group.
-
Create and configure secured areas with at least one door.
-
Create and assign access rules to your secured areas.
-
Create access rules for arming and disarming intrusion detection areas.
-
Create arm and disarm schedules for the intrusion detection areas.
-
Configure the intrusion detection areas.
For each imported intrusion detection area, assign the following:
After you finish
Test your system using the various investigation and diagnostic tools available in
Security Center,
Synergis™ Appliance Portal, and
Synergis™ IX
Portal.
