Configuring the Network
You can modify an Access Controller’s name, administrator username and password, folder, SSH access
permissions, and the Access Control Server IP address and shared secret. The IP address and System ID
are displayed read-only and cannot be modified on this page.
» Click Save to save your changes, or Cancel to abandon your changes and revert to the current settings.
Note:
The IP address of the Access Controller can be changed under the Network Setup tab, along with
other network configuration settings.
Deleting an Access Controller
Access Controllers that have been removed from the network or reconfigured to communicate with a
different Access Control Server are not automatically deleted from the Access Control Server’s list of
Access Controllers. They remain in the list on the assumption that the inability to communicate is
temporary, and that the configurations should be maintained in the event that communication is
reestablished. If you know that an Access Controller has been permanently removed from this Access
Control Server’s administrative domain, you must delete the Access Controller from the System
Components List. Otherwise the Access Control Server will attempt to contact the removed Access
Controller for status updates and wait for the Access Controller to respond.
» To delete an Access Controller from the System Components List, click the trash can icon ( ) at the
far right of the Access Controller in the System Components List.
You cannot delete an Access Controller if it is in use—i.e. if it is used in the definition of a Location.
Before you can delete an Access Controller, you must remove it from any Location definitions. If the
Access Controller is the only component used in a Location definition, that Location must be
redefined or deleted. In turn, you will not be able to delete the Location if it is used to define a
Connection Profile.
Note:
If the Access Controller you delete is still connected to the network, and is still configured with
the Access Control Server IP address and shared secret, it will not remain deleted. It will reappear as if
it were a newly-installed Access Controller the next time the it communicates with this Access Control
Server. Any configuration you had done to that Access Controller through the Administrative Interface
will be cleared.
Organizing Access Controllers into Folders
Folders allow the grouping of Access Controllers within the System Components List. For example, all
the Access Controllers in a building could be placed in a single folder named after the building, such as
Building A. You may create folders as needed. Within the System Components List, folders can be
opened to show all their contents or closed to allow a high-level view of the system.
» To create a new folder, click New Folder. This displays the New Folder page, see Figure 6-6. Enter the
name for the folder and click
Save.
To abandon your changes and revert to the current settings click
Cancel.
Confirm Shared Secret The shared secret, entered a second time to confirm.
