Adding your Echodyne radars as tracking systems to Security Center - Restricted Security Area Surveillance

Before you can monitor the restricted areas secured by your Echodyne radar system in Security Center, you must add each Echodyne radar as a tracking system in Config Tool. If you are using the Inter-System Gateway (IS Gateway), you must first add your radar to a driver container in the IS Gateway, and then add the driver container as a tracking system in Config Tool.

To add an Echodyne radar as a tracking system to Security Center with the IS Gateway:

1. Log on to the IS Gateway web portal:
   1. Open a web browser and enter the URL https://<GatewayServer>:4242.
      <GatewayServer> is the name or IP address of the server hosting the IS Gateway service. The default port is 4242. Use the port you configured at installation.
   2. Accept the security certificate.
   3. On the logon page, enter the Username and Password and click Sign in.
      The username and password were assigned during the Inter-System Gateway Configuration step of the IS Gateway service installation.
2. Add a driver container for the tracking system that you want to add to Security Center:
   1. On the homepage of the IS Gateway, click the Container () tab.
   2. Click the button besides the docker engine label, and then click Add driver container.
   3. In the Add Driver Container window that opens, enter the following information:
      

      Driver

      Select the driver that you want to install.

      Version

      Select the driver version that you want. The latest version is selected by default.

      Label

      Label used to identify this driver container in the list of containers on the left.

      Port

      Port used to communicate with the driver.

      Network adapter

      Select the network adapter used by the driver to communicate with the IS Gateway service.

      Show advanced

      Some drivers require other communication ports to be open. If necessary, click here to add those ports.

   4. Click Add.
      The IS Gateway immediately downloads the required driver container image from the repository. A notification is shown in the upper right corner of the browser page during the download process.

      

      After the download completes, the new driver container is displayed in the list of containers on the left, under the selected docker engine.

      
   5. Start the driver container. To do so, click the button beside the driver container label and click Start.
   NOTE: If you are adding multiple driver containers, make sure that each driver container has a unique port number. This will prevent any port conflicts if multiple driver containers are running at the same time.
3. Select the driver container corresponding to the tracking system that you want to add to Security Center.
4. In the Communication section, click Add ().
   
5. In the Add/Edit device window that opens, enter the following information:
   

   Name

   Enter a unique name for this device.

   IP address

   Enter the IP address of the Echodyne radar.

   Status port

   Enter the port used to get the system status of the radar. The default port is 29979.

   Target data port

   Enter the port used to receive the targets from the radar. The default port is 29982.

   Set device orientation

   Manually

   Enter the Heading, Pitch, Roll, and Platform height of the radar manually.

   Semi-automatically

   Enter the Heading manually, and obtain the Pitch, Roll, and Platform height of the radar automatically.

   Automatically

   Obtain the Heading, Pitch, Roll, and Platform height of the radar directly from the radar.

   NOTE: The Automatically option is not recommended, because the radar can give imprecise measurements.

   Latitude and Longitude

   Enter the coordinates of the device. Coordinates are in decimal degrees using the World Geodetic System (WGS84) format. You can use a web site like https://www.latlong.net/ to find the coordinates of a specific civic address.

   Heading

   If the device has a field of view, identify the physical orientation of the device using compass points. For example: If the device's field of view points toward true North, set the orientation to 0 degrees. You can use a compass to find the degrees.

   Pitch

   The orientation of the device with respect to the floor. A pitch value of 0 degrees means that the device is looking at the horizon.

   Roll

   The orientation of the device with respect to the horizon. A roll value of 0 degrees means that the device is positioned horizontally.

   Platform height

   The height of the device from the floor, in meters.
