Configuring the Network
Under Network, only the System Components, Network Setup, Interfaces, and Date &Time tabs are
available.
Under Maintenance, and Logs, all the functions are available.
Disabling Redundancy
When you disable redundancy, the secondary Access Control Server is reset to Factory Defaults and
restarted. This is necessary to prevent that Access Control Server from retaining knowledge of the Access
Controllers—otherwise it is possible that it could take management control of the Access Controllers
away from the primary Access Control Server.
Because the secondary Access Control Server is reset to its defaults, if you want to then re-establish a
redundant peer relationship, you must reconfigure the secondary Access Control Server with the
Preferred Primary Access Control Server shared secret. In addition, if the Factory Reset on the secondary
Access Control Server caused the IP address of the Access Control Server to change, you may need to
reconfigure the Peer IP address in the Preferred Primary Access Control Server’s redundancy
configuration.
To disable redundancy:
» From the Edit Access Control Server page on the Access Control Server where you configured and
enabled redundancy (normally the Preferred Primary Access Control Server), uncheck the
Enable
Redundancy
checkbox, then click Save.
This stops the redundancy relationship, and causes a restart with Factory Reset on the secondary Access
Control Server. At this point the primary Access Control Server still retains its knowledge of the
peer Access Control Server’s IP address; however, if the Factory Reset on the peer causes its IP
address to change, the primary Access Control Server will show the secondary as “Not
Responding” on the Equipment Status page.
To completely dismantle the redundant peer configuration, so that the primary Access Control Server no
longer shows a peer Access Control Server, do the following:
» On the System Components page, the trash can icon should now be enabled for the peer (second)
Access Control Server. Click the trash can to remove the Secondary Access Control Server.
This removes the peer Access Control Server from the System Components List, and the fields in
the Redundancy area of the Edit Access Control Server tab should be cleared. The Access Control
Server label in the Header bar should now show just “Access Control Server.
You can also effectively delete the peer Access Control Server from the primary’s System
Components List by changing the Peer IP Address to 0.0.0.0.
Configuring Network Communication–Network Setup
Once the system components have been established, they must be configured to communicate with the
network. The Installation and Getting Started Guide for your 700wl Series system leads you through the
initial network configuration sufficient for installation on your network. However, if your network
configuration changes after installation, you can modify the settings for your system components through
the Administrative Interface. In addition, there are advanced settings and other configuration options
you may need to set up after the initial installation.
