If you're experiencing network communication issues with your Sicunet IP Access Controllers: * First, check the network cabling at both the controller and the router or switch. If the Ethernet LAN LEDs are off or solid, there's no physical connection. * Next, ensure the IP address, Gateway, Subnet, and DNS address are correctly configured for your network. * Also, verify that firewall rules or port restrictions aren't blocking network access to the controller. * You can directly connect a programming PC to the controller to check Ethernet communications. You may need to reset the IP address of the controller.
How to reset IP address of Sicunet IP Access Controllers to factory default?

What to do if Sicunet IP Access Controllers power up but don't respond to card reader inputs?
If your Sicunet IP Access Controllers power up but don't respond to card reader inputs: * Verify that the card and the card reader are compatible. * Measure the power at the reader connection. If there's no voltage, the reader fuse may be blown or overloaded. Disconnect the reader wiring and check for proper voltage. * Check the wiring to the reader. Disconnect the field wires to the reader and directly wire a reader to the controller. If the reader works, the field wiring may be faulty.
How to obtain a license key for unlicensed Sicunet IP Access Controllers?
To obtain a license key for unlicensed Sicunet IP Access Controllers, you will need the controller's MAC address. This is printed on the controller or can be found on the license page after logging in to the UI. Then, visit the License On Demand web server to obtain the license key.

What to do if Sicunet IP Access Controllers do not power up?
If your Sicunet IP Access Controllers are not powering up, consider the following: * Check the AC outlet's voltage used to power the controller. * If using a Fire Cutout, check its status to see if the power has been deactivated. * Inspect the wiring from the power supply to the controller. * For systems using a Power Module, check for +12 VDC at the Power Input Connector. If it's not present, the internal power supply may be damaged and need replacement. * Check for +12 VDC at the Power Connector for the Controller. If present but the red LEDs are off, the input fuse may be blown (this fuse is not field replaceable). * If the measured voltage is less than 11 VDC, the system may be overloaded. Try disconnecting all readers, door, and AUX outputs to see if the controller powers...
