Enrolling SALTO SALLIS locks

2023-11-16Last updated

For the Synergis™ unit to communicate with SALTO SALLIS locks, you must enroll them in Security Center, using the Synergis™ Appliance Portal.

Before you begin

Set up your SALTO SALLIS infrastructure (routers, nodes, and wireless locks) according to the instructions found in the SALLIS Installation & Maintenance Guide.
First define the nodes and the doors using the SALLIS application, and then update the routers and initialize the locks using the PPD (Portable Programmer Device). As you do this, write down the following information:
IP router
IP address and port number.
RS-485 router
Synergis unit channel the router is connected to (1 - 4).
Lock
Router, lock ID, and the door where it is installed.

Use descriptive door names, for example First floor storage room. If you have already created the door entities in Security Center, use the same names for ease of reference.

What you should know

The steps and instructions tagged with Hardening are optional, but will protect your system against cyberattacks.

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 Salto as the Hardware type.
  5. Identify the channel where the SALLIS router is connected, and then do one of the following:
    • Select the IP channel, and enter the IP address and port number used by the router.
      Add hardware dialog box showing Salto configuration with the IP channel selected in the Synergis™ Appliance Portal.
    • Select an RS-485 channel (1 - 4). All interface modules connected to the same RS-485 channel must be from the same manufacturer.
      Add hardware dialog box showing Salto configuration with the RS-485 channel selected in the Synergis™ Appliance Portal.
  6. (Hardening) If you want encryption, select Enable encryption, and enter the AES site key.
    Note:
    You cannot change the encryption settings from the Add hardware dialog box on an existing channel. To enable encryption when the channel is already created, change the channel configuration in the Synergis™ Appliance Portal.
    Add hardware dialog box showing Salto configuration with encryption enabled in the Synergis™ Appliance Portal.
  7. 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 your lock IDs (physical addresses) and you only have a few to enroll, it is faster to enroll them manually.
    • 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 lock ID as the Physical address, and click Add ().
      Note:
      Valid lock IDs are 1 - 16 for RS-485 routers, and 1 - 64 for PoE routers.

      Repeat as necessary to configure all wireless locks connected to the same channel.

  8. Click Save.
    The hardware type, channel, and interface module you just added are listed on the Hardware configuration page.
  9. Test your interface module connection and configuration from the I/O diagnostics page.

After you finish

Associate your doors to the SALLIS locks in Security Center.
