Before you can configure the Synergis™ 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 assigned by your IT department to the Synergis™ unit.
- Configure the hardware settings (DIP switches, address dials, etc.) to their final position on the interface modules.
-
Connect the interface modules to the Synergis™ unit through the proper communication
channels.
NOTE: Because each hardware manufacturer uses a different communication protocol, all interface modules connected to the same RS-485 channel must be from the same manufacturer.
- Physical devices, such as REX and door sensors, should also be connected, but can be replaced with test switches and LEDs during the configuration phase.
- Download the latest Synergis™ Softwire package from https://portal.genetec.com/support.
-
Install and configure Security Center with
at least one Access Manager role.
