To install the Cisco Gateway hardware and software:
Step 1 Install the appliance hardware. See the Cisco Physical Security Multi Services Platform User Guide or the Cisco Physical Access 1125 Appliance User Guide for more information.
Step 2 Install and configure the server software. See System Configuration Settings
Step 3 Install the desktop client. See System Configuration Settings
Step 4 Install the door devices, including locks, readers and other input and output devices.
Step 5 Install the gateway modules and optional expansion modules, as described in the Cisco Physical Access Gateway User Guide and the Cisco Physical Access Gateway Quick Start Guide.
Note To ensure proper operation, test all door devices and modules on a lab bench before actual installation.
Step 6 Connect an Ethernet cable from a PC to the ETH1 interface on the gateway module, then specify the gateway module’s network settings. See “Configuring and Managing the Gateway Using a Direct Connection” in the Cisco Physical Access Gateway User Guide. Also see the Cisco Physical Access Gateway Quick Start Guide.
Step 7 Connect an Ethernet cable from the gateway ETH0 interface to the network.
Tip You can also add the gateways to the network after configuring doors and users in ICPAM, as described in Configure Doors and Users in ICPAM. For more information, see Provisioned (Pre-Populated) vs. Discovered Controller Configurations.
Step 8 Wait for the gateway to connect to the ICPAM appliance. Verify that the gateway status is Up in the Hardware Tree view (select Hardware Tree from the Doors menu in ICPAM).
