Cloning a gateway creates an exact copy of a gateway configuration, including any attached expansion modules, devices, or door configurations. Only the names, locations, and serial numbers of the devices and doors are changed in the clone. A gateway clone is an independent copy, and is used to configure one other controller. Changes to the original gateway or to the clone gateway do not effect each other.
Note Cloning can only be done with gateway controllers. Identiv EM-100 controllers do not yet support cloning.
To create a gateway clone, do the following:
Step 1 Select Hardware Tree or Door/Location-based Hardware from the Doors menu.
Step 2 Right-click a gateway controller and select Clone Gateway.
Step 3 Enter the names, serial numbers, and locations for the clone gateway. For expansion modules, note the type of expansion module that each serial number is assigned to, and match it to the same type of module for the clone configuration.
Step 4 (Optional) Click Clone all module names to use the source names for the clone configuration.
Step 5 Click OK.
Step 6 Right-click the gateway icon and select Reload Gateway Configuration. This command downloads the full configuration and replaces the existing file on the specified gateway. The gateway must be installed and in the Up state, or the reload will fail.
Step 7 Add doors or revise the configuration as necessary. See Adding New Doors for more information.
