1.2 ACC and FLN Field Service Network Tool
For devices in an access control and security system to function as intended, they
must be programmed with the correct instruction set, or “firmware”. It is also
important to test your selected settings on a device before the device goes live.
The ACC and FLN Field Service Tool has been designed to assist in the
installation of Field Level Network devices for use with the SiPass integrated
Access Control and Security System. This includes:
● Dual Reader Interfaces (DRI)
● Single Reader Interfaces (SRI)
● Eight Reader Interface (ERI)
● Output Point Modules (OPM)
● Input Point Modules (IPM)
● Eight Input Output Module (8IO)
● Intrusion Arming Terminals (IAT-010)
The ACC and FLN Service Tool can also assist in discovering Access Controllers
in the local Ethernet segment, and configuring the network parameters of these
discovered controllers.
The Field Service Tool is designed to help you perform these tasks.
1.2.1 Installation
Run
setup.exe
(available under Tools\ACC and FLN Field Service Tool\Setup Disk\
in SiPass integrated Installation bundle) to install this tool.
1.2.2 Downloading Firmware for Device
Devices can be connected to a COM Port on a PC running the Field Service Tool
via a RS232 – RS485 Bus converter.
The process to download firmware and test devices is as follows:
1. Configure the FLN Bus.
2. Select an image file for download.
3. Detect all devices on the FLN Bus.
4. Download firmware to a device.
5. Configure the device.
