Each IP Link enclosure will be installed in a secured and protected location. • Each IP Link will be equipped with an AC powered LED installed outside the IP Link and connected to an inboard relay, and visible at all time to monitor relay status, as per UL 294, section 32.1.5. -
Page 7: Overview
The IP Link is essential in determining what to do with specific events and commands. The IP Link directs specific events it receives from any controller to the EntraPass Gateway. On the other hand, it sends commands from the EntraPass Gateway to the appropriate controller. -
Page 8: Cover Description
Cover Description The IP Link has a red status LED called Heartbeat Patterns (with cover) or STAT (without cover). The main purpose is to indicate if EntraPass is present and if the polling occurs. Table 1 describes the various heartbeat patterns that are used. See Table 2 for the description of the other status LEDs. -
Page 9: Configurations Options
The IP Link can be configured through 3 different options: • With EntraPass, when the IP Link is within the same local area network (LAN) • With the KT-Finder application locally through the LAN or remotely through the Internet or wide area network (WAN). -
Page 10: Ordering Information
DN1693 - Italian Site Survey Before starting the installation of the IP Link, you have to determine the configuration that best corresponds to your network architecture. This information is crucial for the proper operation of the Kantech products that you will install. Contact the Network Administrator of the site(s) where you will install the IP Link so that they can provide you with all the network information. -
Page 11: Wide Area Network (Wan)
IP Link. LAN Configurations There are two LAN configurations for the IP Link: Note: Kantech recommends the use of a Static or Reserved DHCP IP address for the IP Link and the Gateway. Static IP Addressing You will use this type of configuration in an environment where the Network Administrator will determine the IP address for communication between EntraPass and the IP Link. -

Internet Service Provider (ISP) which controls the IP address. Note: Kantech recommends the use of a Static or Reserved DHCP IP address for the remote IP Link and the Gateway since the routers must be configured for port forwarding. -
Page 13: Reserved Dhcp Ip Addressing
You will use this type of addressing in an environment where the customer DHCP server assigns the IP address automatically to the IP Link. Since the EntraPass application is at the host site, you must use the KT-Finder to configure the IP Link. -

6. Complete the other settings as required. 7. Click on the IP Device IP Configuration tab. 8. Look on the IP Link for the MAC address sticker next to the terminal strip and complete the MAC address of the IP Link. - Page 19 For TCP: No port required. • For UDP: Enter the Port number used by the IP Link (port 18810 by default). If more than one IP Link resides at the same IP address (WAN/Internet applications) then it will require the use of a unique port number per IP Link.
