Installation involves mounting the module on either dry wall (using 1/8 in. hollow wall expansion anchors) or concrete surfaces (using a hammer drill and plastic anchors). The anti-attack bushing cap covers a rear tamper spring and should be left in place if the rear tamper is not used; otherwise, it should be properly aligned and screwed into the mounting surface.

Communication wiring requires twisted pairs (minimum 22 AWG) with an overall shield for multi-drop communication on a single RS-485 bus, supporting distances up to 4000 feet (1200 m). Reader wiring connects to each reader port, supporting Wiegand Data1/Data0.

The system's LEDs provide visual status indications:

I/O board LEDs: LEDs 1 and 2 indicate normal operation (heartbeat) or firmware upgrade status. LEDs 3-6 indicate communication on SNAPP ports 1-4. LEDs 7 and 9 indicate link and activity on primary (Eth0) and secondary (Eth1) Ethernet ports, respectively. LEDs 8 and 10 indicate speed on primary and secondary Ethernet ports. LED 12 indicates power presence.
SOM board LEDs: Power LED (green) indicates SOM power. Status 1 (yellow, with green power LED) indicates initialization. Status 2 (red) is currently undefined.

Jumpers are used for various configurations:

CN37: External LED indication for power.
CN38-CN41: Control SNAPP 1-4 termination (120-ohm termination added if shunt jumper is installed).
CN35: Temporarily shorted if the panel needs to start on battery only, without AC or DC power.

Maintenance Features

The event log buffer and real-time clock are supported by a 3 V battery, which retains events and transactions for up to one year without controller power. This battery should be replaced annually with a Panasonic CR2354 lithium coin cell battery to ensure backup functionality. When replacing the lithium battery, only a Panasonic CR2354 should be used to prevent explosion or improper handling.

The TruPortal System Controller is designed for use with UL-listed access control power supplies. All wiring within the enclosure must comply with UL standards, using plastic cable ties for cable management and strain relief. Batteries must be disposed of according to local laws and regulations.

The power management parameters are pre-configured and cannot be changed, including blackout voltage (10.00 V), battery size (18 Ah), and various test and warning thresholds.

Configuration is guided by the TruPortal Installation Wizard, which discovers the controller and connected peripherals. This involves installing Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 and Bonjour Print Services, then selecting the controller, entering administrator credentials (default username "admin", password "demo"), and setting a new administrator password for security. Network settings can also be configured via the wizard. The wizard also helps test door control commands and input EOL terminations.
