Before the postal switch is ready for operation, you must set the postal switch jumper to the proper position. To set the postal switch jumper, locate JP1 on the EntraGuard Gold main board (see Figure 3 on page 3). When the jumper is installed, the postal switch is not enabled.
If you're turning system power on for the first time, certain tasks must be performed prior to entering access control information from Doors. On the EntraGuard Gold main board (see Figure 3 on page 3), hold the S1 Button down and turn the controller’s power on.
