Upgrading and Configuring Gateways
Use the Hardware - Tree or Door/Location-based Hardware module to upgrade the firmware on one or more gateways, or change the network settings on the modules. You can also change the Network Time Protocol (NTP) settings on multiple gateways to ensure the time is synchronized on all devices.
Note • We
strongly recommend using NTP to synchronize the ICPAM appliance and
gateway clocks to ensure correct event and messaging. See the Change
the NTP Setting for Multiple Gateways for instructions to set
NTP on gateways.
• The
gateway must be available on the network and in the Up state to use these
configuration tools. For initial gateway installation and configuration,
see the ICPAM Installation Guide or,
for Cisco Gateway support, refer to the Cisco Physical Access Gateway User Guide.
• This appendix applies
only to Cisco Gateway installations. Identiv EM-100 controller installations
are dealt with in a separate section.
