Doors.NET License Manager and Gateway Configuration Application Note

Transcription

1 Doors.NET installation and controller configuration is a three step process. Each of these steps has its own document, with controller configuration broken into separate documents per hardware type. software installation DoorsNET_Software_Installation.pdf (p/n ) license manager and gateway configuration License_Manager_and_Gateway_Configuration.pdf (p/n: this document) controller configuration - Basic_PXL_Configuration_In_DoorsNET.pdf (p/n: ) - Basic_NXT_Configuration_In_DoorsNET.pdf (p/n: ) - Basic_Mercury-Powered_NXT_Configuration_In_DoorsNET.pdf (p/n: ) This document describes the standard process for licensing the software to match your hardware and features, then configuring the gateway for hardware communication. It assumes the Doors.NET software is already installed on your host PC. 1.0 Get The License Key A license key is provided with the software DVD case, but this key is only valid for new NXT controller installations. For PXL and Mercury Powered NXT controller installations you must get a license key from Keri Inside Sales. Further, there are extended, optional features that may require a license key update. This applies to all controller types. 1.1 NXT License Key The NXT license key is typically retrieved from the software DVD case. 1.2 PXL License Key A PXL license key must be obtained from Keri Inside Sales. The PXL license key supports two types of PXL controllers: Standard supported immediately with no restriction on the number of controllers Legacy limited to a licensed number of controllers Before contacting Keri Inside Sales for a license key, you need to know the number of Legacy PXL controllers Identifying Standard versus Legacy PXL Controllers The PXL controller s model number label identifies if the controller is Standard or Legacy (refer to the figure below). Standard controllers work directly with Doors.NET using a standard license. There is no controller limit when using Standard controllers. Standard PXL Label PXL-500 P - X E/NE P/N: xxxxx-xxx S/N: xxxxxxxx Legacy PXL Label PXL-500 P - 1 E/NE P/N: xxxxx-xxx S/N: xxxxxxxx PXL-500 W - X E/NE P/N: xxxxx-xxx S/N: xxxxxxxx Firmware v or Greater PCB p/n: 054xx-xxx PXL-500 W - 1 E/NE P/N: xxxxx-xxx S/N: xxxxxxxx Firmware v or Earlier PCB p/n: 053xx-xxx Legacy PXL Controllers Legacy controllers require a PXL Legacy Count to be set on the license key to enable the controllers to work with Doors.NET. By default this value is set to zero. Typically Legacy controllers are carrying over from an existing Doors32 installation that is being upgraded to Doors.NET. There is a per-controller fee for licensing Legacy controllers. Page 1 of 9

2 Legacy PXL controllers must be at firmware v or greater. This firmware revision is the earliest to implement the current U.S. Daylight Standard Time dates and has the PXL s complete anti-passback implementation. A CU500 firmware upgrade is available for all PXL controllers to bring them up to the current firmware revision. 1.3 Mercury Powered NXT License Key A Mercury Powered NXT license key must be obtained from Keri Inside Sales. The Mercury Powered NXT license is limited to a licensed number of controllers. Before contacting Keri Inside Sales for a license key, you need to know the number of Mercury Powered NXT controllers you are licensing. In some cases an appropriately configured license key may be provided with the invoicing paperwork in a shipment. 1.4 Demo Mode Doors.NET has a demo mode feature that allows you 30 days of limited, basic operation. This can give you an opportunity to try the software before obtaining a license. However, demo mode only supports NXT controllers; it does not support PXL or Mercury Powered NXT controllers. 2.0 Run the License Manager The License Manager registers your Doors.NET software and activates any applicable features or controller values, allowing system use. Please have your license key ready before beginning this section. 2.1 Run the License Manager Program 1. In the Keri > DoorsNET folder, locate and run the LicenseManager.exe program. 2. The License Manager window appears. 3. Under Installed Components, expand the Services list and click on the Application Server call-out. 4.
