To collect and organize information from devices that support BACnet, HTTP Server, Modbus Client, MQTT Client, OPC Client, SNMP Client, or TCP Server protocols, install the Industrial IoT plugin on a Security Center server and on all client workstations.

Before you begin

Use compatible hardware and software:

What you should know

  • Although it is possible to host the plugin role on any server, it is best practice to host that role on a dedicated expansion server for best system performance.
  • For your operators to have access to the features of this plugin, you must install this plugin on all Security Center client workstations.

Procedure

  1. Open the GTAP Product Download page.
  2. From the Download Finder list, select your version of Security Center.
  3. Search for "Industrial IoT" and download it.
  4. Click the downloaded .exe file to unzip it.
    By default, the file is unzipped to C:\Genetec.
  5. Close all Genetec™ applications and stop the Genetec™ Server service.
  6. Stop all Genetec™ applications, including Genetec™ Server, Security Desk, and Config Tool.
  7. Open the extracted folder, right-click the setup.exe file, and click Run as administrator.
  8. Follow the installation instructions:
    1. On the Setup Type page, select Client or Server:
      Client
      A client installation installs the client portions of all Industrial IoT protocols on Security Desk and Config Tool. Select client installation when installing the plugin on workstations and servers other than the main server.
      Server
      A server installation is the basic initial installation that is required to run the plugin. It installs the Industrial IoT plugin and the protocols that you select and any supporting applications, such as RabbitMQ (for Modbus and SNMP) or BACstac (for BACnet). Select server installation when installing on servers where you intend to run the plugin role.
      Industrial IoT Installer: Select the setup type.
    2. On the Select programs to install page, select the programs and protocols to install.
      Industrial IoT Installer: Select programs to install.

      Select the Install Genetec™ Time Series option if you want to monitor live numeric data points in the Security Desk dashboard.

      IMPORTANT: The Restart Genetec™ Server option is selected by default. You can clear this option if you do not want to restart the Genetec™ Server immediately. However, you must restart the Genetec™ Server to complete the installation.
    3. If RabbitMQ is not configured on your system, enter a username, password, and a secure connection port on the RabbitMQ Configuration page.
      Industrial IoT Installer: Configure RabbitMQ.
  9. If you chose to install Genetec™ Time Series:
    1. On the Time Series Database Destination Folders page, specify the folders where PostgreSQL will be installed and where the PostgreSQL data will be kept.
      Industrial IoT Installer: Time Series Database Destination Folders.
    2. On the Time Series Database Configuration page, enter the password and port that will be used to connect to the PostgreSQL service.
      Industrial IoT Installer: Time Series Database Configuration.
    3. On the Time Series REST API Configuration page, enter the REST API port.
      Industrial IoT Installer: Time Series REST API Configuration.
  10. On the Ready to Install the Program page, click Install.
    The installation starts.
  11. On the Installation Wizard Completed page, click Finish.
    If you previously selected to restart the Genetec™ Server service, the service restarts immediately.
