What is the Synergis Appliance Portal?

2024-08-23Last updated

The Synergis™ Appliance Portal is the web-based administration tool used to configure and administer the Synergis™ appliance and upgrade its firmware.

You can perform the following tasks through the portal:
  • Change the password required to connect to the Synergis™ Cloud Link appliance.
  • Configure the network settings on the appliance so it works on your system.
  • Enroll and configure the interface modules connected to the appliance.
    Note: Mercury controllers and Honeywell controllers (PW6K1IC, PRO32IC, PW7K1IC, and PRO42IC) must be enrolled and configured on the access control unit's Peripherals page in Config Tool.
  • Configure the access control behavior of the appliance for both online and offline operations.
  • Test and diagnose the interface readers, I/O, and module connections of the appliance.
  • Configure the settings specific to Mercury controllers and downstream controllers.
  • Configure the reader LED and beeper settings with support for configuration export and import.
  • Configure MIFARE DESFire on OSDP and STid readers.
  • Enable SAM card-based cryptography on Synergis Cloud Link 312 appliance.
  • Manage X.509 certificates.
  • View and export the appliance's status and configuration.
  • View the capabilities and status of Mercury controllers.
  • Upgrade the appliance firmware and interface module firmware.
  • Restart the appliance's hardware or software.

Tasks that must be done in Config Tool

You cannot perform the following tasks through the portal. Use Security Center Config Tool instead.
  • Assign devices (input/output contacts, readers) to doors and zones.
  • Configure individual door and zone properties.
  • Configure I/O linking.
  • Configure Card and PIN readers so that both the card and the PIN are required to grant access.
