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.
