Before you can configure a Cloud Link Roadrunner™ unit, you must perform some pre-configuration steps.
Procedure
- Read the release notes for any known issues and other information about the release.
- Have a computer equipped with a network card, Ethernet cable, and a web browser.
- (Optional) Have the IP address of the unit assigned by your IT department.
-
Connect the OSDP readers to the unit through the proper communication
channels.
NOTE: If multiple OSDP readers are connected to the same RD port, the readers must be wired as a daisy-chain and not a star.
The RS-485 channel has a built-in 120 ohm resistor. It is recommended to use an end-of-line resistor at the last reader to get impedance matching and avoid signal reflections.
-
Connect physical devices (REX, door sensors, and so on), or use test switches and
LEDs during the configuration phase.
For more information, see Cloud Link Roadrunner wiring diagram.
- Download the latest Cloud Link Roadrunner package from the Product Download page on GTAP.
-
Install and configure Security Center with
at least one Access Manager role.
