Overview
LED diagnostics
The Paxton BLU Master Controller connects to the cloud based server through a TCP/IP Ethernet port or through the optional GSM/GPRS modem.
If you are running a DHCP server on your network then you do not need to congure the communication settings as a static IP address is not
required. The section below (Conguring the Paxton BLU Control Master unit) explains how to congure the unit if you do not have a DHCP server.
The GSM/GPRS modem does not require any user conguration.
To add additional doors to the site, up to a maximum of 50, you should purchase the Paxton BLU Expansion Controllers. These connect via the
self-terminating RS485 bus connection, no additional termination is required. Larger sites are accommodated by using multiple master units that
can be logically grouped in the software.
Please be aware that if you dont have an Ethernet connnection then by default the unit will attempt to connect through the GSM network.
This would require the purchase of a Paxton BLU Modem and activation license.
