Because the Synergis™ unit does not communicate
with the SimonsVoss SmartIntego devices, 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 Mercury controller
must be assigned a unique channel ID. The controller communicates with the SmartIntego
Gateway nodes through IP. IP addresses cannot overlap within the same network.
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 SmartIntego Gateway node that you want the controller to talk to.
-
At the bottom of the Interfaces group, click Add an
item (
).
-
In the dialog box that appears, click Model and select
SimonsVoss Gateway node.
-
In IP address, enter the IP address of the Gateway
node.
-
In Router, enter the decimal value of the Gateway node
ID.
For example, if the Gateway node ID is
0x0021
, enter
33
(= 2 x 16 + 1).

-
Add the locks paired to the Gateway node.
-
In the dialog box that opens, click Model and select the
lock model (Smart Handle, Padlock, Cylinder).
-
In Door Lock Number, enter the decimal value of the lock
ID.
For example, if the lock ID is
0x0026
, enter
38
(= 2 x 16 + 6).

-
Click OK.
-
Repeat if you have more locks to add.
-
Click OK.
-
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).
-
Test your configuration by triggering the outputs.
The triggered output changes state in real time on screen.
NOTE: Reader
activities are not shown in the Peripherals
tab.
