Because the Synergis™ unit does not communicate
with Allegion Schlage AD locks or PIM400 modules directly, you must enroll these devices through
a Mercury EP or LP (or Honeywell) controller, using the Config
Tool.
What you should know
Mercury controllers enrolled on a
Synergis™ unit are not visible from the Synergis™
Appliance Portal
Hardware page.On the Synergis™ unit, each EP or LP controller
must by assigned a unique channel ID. All EP and LP controllers have RS-485 buses to which
the Schlage devices (AD-300 and PIM400) are connected. Each Schlage device connected to the
same RS-485 bus must have a unique RS-485 address.
Procedure
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
Access control task.
-
Click Roles and units, and then click the Synergis™ unit (
).
-
Click Peripherals, and then click Add an
item (
).
-
Enter the following information:
- Model
- Model of the controller.
- IP address
- Static IP address assigned to the controller by your IT department.
- Port
- Communication port (default=3001). The port must match the value configured on the
Mercury Device Manager web page.
- Channel
- Channel ID corresponding to this controller. The channel ID can be any value
between 0 and 63, and must be unique within the Synergis™ unit. Once assigned, it must not be
changed.
-
Add the Allegion Schlage devices that are connected to your EP or LP controller.
-
At the bottom of the Interfaces group, click Add an
item (
).
-
In the dialog box that opens, select the Model (AD-300 or
PIM400), the Port, and the Address (0 to
31).
-
(PIM400 only) In Low, enter the first door number linked to
the PIM400, and in Count, enter the number of doors linked to
the PIM400.
All door numbers ranging from Low to
Low+Count must correspond to an AD-400
wireless lock.
-
Click OK.
-
Repeat as necessary.
-
(Optional) Click Advanced settings to change the advanced
settings.
The available settings depend on the selected controller model. You can typically
change the baud rate of the available serial port, the custom supervised input values, and
the power input event configuration.

NOTE: In Security
Center 5.8 or later and Synergis™
Softwire 10.8 or later, you can set up to four different
custom presets on your Mercury controller's inputs. For users upgrading from earlier
Security
Center versions who have a custom
value configured, that preset is listed as Custom 1 in the
AD limit rows list.
-
Click OK at the bottom of the dialog box.
-
Click Apply (
).
The Mercury controller with all its connected downstream panels and peripheral
devices appear in the
Peripherals tab.

NOTE: Adding interface modules
to the Synergis™ unit causes the unit to perform
a software restart. During this process, the Synergis™ unit and all peripherals attached to it
appear offline (in red).
