  1. LAN-50/500 Ethernet Communication

  2. This Presentation Will . . . • Cover how to configure the LAN-50/500 for use with Doors • Cover the Pros and Cons to using Doors in a network environment

  3. For Successful Configuration • You must have a technical knowledge of networking: • Setting IP addresses • Creating shared folders • Creating shortcuts to these shared folders

  4. Networking Caveats • LAN-50/500 devices are recommended for use over a LAN: Local Area Network. They can be used over the Internet or over an external network segment, but there is a security concern: • Having the LAN device on the Internet or on an external network segment makes that device available to anyone who knows the device’s MAC/Internet address.

  5. Networking Caveats • If a device is installed for operation over the Internet or over an external network segment, auto detect and configure software cannot be used. Configuration must be done manually, using Telnet commands. This process is beyond what can be covered in this seminar. • The process is described in Keri document: LAN-50-LAN-500_Application_Note.pdf, found on the Keri web site or the Keri CD.

  6. Differences Between LAN-50 and -500 • LAN-50 • Standalone in-line module • Use with any PXL controller (but typically the PXL-250) • LAN-500 • Plug-in module • Use with PXL-500/510 controllers ONLY

  7. LAN-50 • The LAN-50 is used with the PXL-250 • LAN unit plugs into the controller’s RS-232 port • The LAN-50 can be used with the PXL-500/510 as well

  8. LAN-500 • The LAN-500 is used with the PXL-500 • LAN module plugs directly into TB-13 on the controller

  9. Which Doors Revision • LAN-50 support begins with Doors v3.61 • LAN-500 support begins with Doors v4.10

  10. Host/Client PC Configuration • A configuration summary is provided in the next few slides • For detailed information, refer to the LAN-50/500 Ethernet Communication Application Note • This document can be found on the Doors CD or on the Keri Systems web site (www.kerisys.com)

  11. Host Workstation Configuration • Doors software must be installed on the host workstation • Share the Doors folder on the host workstation • Doors is not a Client/Server software package

  12. Client Workstation Configuration • On each client workstation, create a shortcut to the Doors software executable on the shared folder on the host workstation

  13. How Doors Handles its Databases • Whenever a database is opened, a copy is made • All work is done to the database copy • When completed work is saved, the copy overwrites the original

  14. Why Do It This Way? • This protects the original database should changes be cancelled

  15. Database Caution • Doors cannot tell if more than one user has opened a database • If two people edit a database at the same time, the last database saved becomes the active database

  16. Database Caution • Keri recommends that only one user open a database at a time • This helps prevent the loss of data by minimizing the possibility of database overwriting

  17. Workstation to Network Communication • Only ONE workstation can communicate with the access control network at a time • Downloading, Uploading, Monitoring, Manual Operation

  18. Releasing Communication Control • To allow another user to communicate with the network you must: • Operate > Net Disconnect OR • Close Doors, either OR

  19. LAN-50 Hardware Connection • Power supply connection • LAN hub connection • Use a standard patch cable • PXL controller RS-232 port connection • Use a Keri KDP-336 cable

  20. LAN-500 Hardware Connections • Remove jumpers JP-6 and JP-7 (upper-right corner of the controller PCB)

  21. LAN-500 Hardware Connections • Plug the LAN-500 module into TB-13 on the PXL-500 controller • Connect the LAN hub cable

  22. Assign a LAN Unit an IP Address • Four things are needed: • The Lantronix “DeviceInstaller” software must be installed on the host workstation • The software is found on the Keri CD-ROM • Locate the unit’s Ethernet/MAC address • Found on the unit’s label • The unit must be powered ON • Have a unique, static IP address for the unit • Assigned by your site’s LAN administrator

  23. Locating the DeviceInstaller Program • Locate and run the Lantronix “DeviceInstaller.exe” program in the Lantronix folder of the Keri CD-ROM

  24. Installing the DeviceInstaller Program • “DeviceInstaller.exe” opens a standard InstallShield wizard • Follow the wizard’s instructions and install the program • A program shortcut icon appears on the host workstation’s desktop following installation

  25. LAN-50 Ethernet Address • Locate the LAN-50 Ethernet/MAC address on the unit’s label • It is displayed in this format: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

  26. LAN-500 Ethernet Address • Locate the LAN-500 Ethernet/MAC address on the unit’s label • It is displayed in this format: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

  27. Starting the DeviceInstaller • With unit power ON and the unit’s IP address and Ethernet/MAC address in hand. . . • Double-click the shortcut to start the DeviceInstaller program

  28. Checking Existing IP Addresses • Click the button • This opens the IP address list window

  29. List the Existing IP Addresses • Click the button to display a list of already assigned IP addresses in the LAN network • Helps you prevent IP address duplication • Click the x-box to close the window after reviewing the list

  30. Assigning the IP Address • Click the button to open the IP Assignment window

  31. Enter Addressing Information • Enter the Ethernet/MAC address • Enter the assigned IP Address

  32. Assign the IP Address • Once the information is entered, click the button

  33. Successful Assignment • After a brief delay, an assignment successful window appears • Click the OK button • Click the X-box to exit the program

  34. Verify Doors Software Settings • Click on the button on the Doors toolbar or navigate to the DoorsSetup > System > Network Config pull-down menu • Then click on the tab to open the Network Configuration window

  35. Setting Network Configuration Values • Verify/Set the following values: • Port = TCP/IP • Server’s Ethernet Port Number = 10021 (default value) • Remote Site TCP/IP Address = IP address of the LAN unit • Remote Site Port Number = 10001 (default is 0, this value must be changed) • Restart Doors so the program recognizes the new values

  36. Verify Doors/LAN Communication • Verify communication between Doors and the LAN • Open the Controllers Tab • Perform an Auto-Config • A successful Auto-Config will display a list of all recognized controllers in the network

  37. If there is No LAN Communication • Verify cabling and power (for LAN-50) connections • Verify/Set LAN configuration parameters via the following steps

  38. Configure a LAN Unit • The LAN unit must have certain operating parameters to ensure proper operation • This is done through the LAN unit’s Web Manager program • Use your web browser to enter and verify these parameters

  39. Start the Web Manager Program • Open your browser program • Enter the LAN unit’s IP address • Press <ENTER>

  40. Connect to the LAN Unit • After a short delay, the Web Manager program opens • Click the button to connect to the unit and enable all program menu options

  41. Retrieve Unit Configuration • Click the button to display the LAN unit’s configuration parameters

  42. Retrieve Server Properties • Click the button to display the unit’s server properties

  43. Verify Unit IP Address • Verify the IP address listed matches the IP address of the unit • If it does not, click the button and change it

  44. Retrieve the Port Properties • Click the button to display the LAN unit’s port properties

  45. Port Property Categories • Parameters in four of the seven major categories must be verified 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  46. Verify Serial Port Settings • Verify the following parameters: • Serial Protocol = RS-232 – Parity = None • Speed = 9600 – Stop Bit = 1 • Character Size = 8 – Flow Control = None • If any on-screen value does not match this list, click the button and change it

  47. Verify Connect Mode Settings • Verify the following parameters: • Incoming Connection = Accept Unconditional • Response = Nothing (Quiet) • Startup = No Active Startup • If any on-screen value does not match this list, click the button and change it

  48. Verify Dedicated Connection Settings • Verify the following parameter: • Local Port = 10001 • If any on-screen value does not match this list, click the button and change it

  49. Verify Additional Settings • Verify the following parameter: • Disconnect Mode = Ignore DTR • If any on-screen value does not match this list, click the button and change it

  50. Update the LAN Unit’s Configuration • Click the button to connect to the LAN unit and upload all configuration changes • The unit will then reboot
