Enrolling the HID VertX sub-panels connected to the Synergis unit

2023-11-16Last updated

To establish communication between the Synergis™ unit and the attached interface modules, you need to configure them in Synergis™ Appliance Portal.

Before you begin

Attach the HID VertX modules to the channels (1 - 4) of your Synergis Cloud Link unit.
Note: If you have the Synergis Cloud Link 312 unit, then you have up to 12 channels. For more information, see About the Synergis Cloud Link 312 RS-485 ports.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Synergis Cloud Link unit.
  2. Click Configuration > Hardware .
  3. At the top of the Hardware column, click Add ().
  4. In the Add hardware dialog box, select VertX as the Hardware type.
  5. Select the Channel (1 - 4).
    All interface modules connected to the same channel must be from the same manufacturer.
  6. In the same dialog box, add all interface modules connected to the same channel.
    You can enroll the interface modules automatically or manually.
    Tip: If you know the physical addresses of the modules and you only have a few to enroll, it would be faster to enroll them manually.
    Do one of the following:
    • To enroll automatically, click Scan.

    The scan feature finds and enrolls all interface modules from the same manufacturer that are connected to the same channel.

    If the controller does not find all connected interface modules, make sure they all have a different physical address.

    • To enroll manually, enter the physical address (0 - 15) configured on the HID interface device, select the model type, and then click .
    Add hardware dialog box showing VertX configuration in the Synergis™ Appliance Portal.

    Repeat as necessary to configure all modules connected to the same channel.

  7. Click Save.
    The hardware type, channel, and interface module you just added are listed on the Hardware configuration page.
  8. For each interface module you added, select it from the Hardware configuration page and configure its settings.
    For the description of these settings, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation. Make the changes as needed.
  9. Click Save.
  10. Test your interface module connection and configuration from the I/O diagnostics page.

After you finish

Enroll the Synergis unit in Security Center.
