Add Secondary Controllers
Step 1: Initial Setup
Follow the instructions under “Initial Controller Setup,” above, for each controller.
This will congure the controller for connection to the network.
Step 2: Add the Controller in the Web Management Application
Secondary controllers can be automatically found and added by the Web Man-
agement Application. This is called “Discovery.”
There are two important qualications about Discovery.
• When using Discovery, you should connect and discover controllers one at a
time. This is the only way you can dierentiate them.
• Discovery only works if all controllers are networked on the same subnet. If
you have a simple network, this will almost always be true. In a larger corpo-
rate environment, you might need to add secondary controllers manually.
See “Special Considerations…,” below.
To discover secondary controllers:
1. Log in to the Web Management Application (on the primary controller).
2. Go to “Cong Hardware.”
3. Click Discover Controllers on the menu bar.
4. In a few moments, a form will display all controllers discovered.
5. Click the link to add a controller. The create controller screen will appear.
a. Select a “Conguration.” (See “Initial Controller Setup”, above.)
b. Enter a “Name,” and select “Custom Door Names” so you can name the
doors.
c. Leave all other settings as they are. These are the settings that were
discovered.
d. Click Save on the menu bar.
