The Synergis™ Appliance Portal is the web-based administration tool used to configure and administer the Synergis™ appliance and upgrade its firmware.
You can perform the following tasks through the Synergis™ Appliance Portal:
- Change the password required to connect to the appliance.
- Configure the network settings on the appliance so it works on your system.
- Enroll and configure the interface modules connected to the
appliance.NOTE: Mercury LP controllers and Honeywell controllers (PW6K1IC and PRO32IC) must be enrolled and configured from Security Center Config Tool on the access control unit's Peripherals page.
- Configure the access control behavior of the appliance for both online and offline operations.
- Test and diagnose the interface readers, I/O, and module connections of the appliance.
- Configure the settings specific to Mercury controllers and downstream controllers.
- Configure MIFARE DESFire on OSDP and STid readers.
- Manage X.509 certificates.
- View and export the appliance's status and configuration.
- View the capabilities and status of Mercury controllers.
- Upgrade the Synergis™ Cloud Link appliance firmware, and interface module firmware.
- Restart the appliance's hardware or software.

- Configure individual door and zone properties.
- Configure I/O linking.
- Configure Card and PIN readers so both the card and the PIN are required to grant access.
