Before you can configure a
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, and so on) 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.
-
Connect physical devices (REX, door sensors, and so on), or use test switches and
LEDs during the configuration phase.
-
Download the latest
Synergis Softwire
package from the
Product Download
page
on GTAP.
-
Install and configure Security Center with at least one Access Manager role.
