Add controllers to ACT Enterprise

ACT Install software is used to add and configure ACTpro Controllers. Before adding
new ACTpro Controllers it is important the controller is powered up on the customers
LAN and has a valid IP address. See section "4.0 Defaulting Controller and IP Address
Configuration" to address the controller.
Launch ACT Install from "Start | All programs | Access Control Technology | ACT
Enterprise" or launch from the ACT Install icon on the desktop.
Login to ACT Install; default username is Administrator and there is no password.
Option1: Autodiscover controllers
Use Autodiscover if the controller is on the same network segment as the PC.
Clicking Autodiscover searches the LAN for any ACTpro controllers, this may take several
minutes. Autodiscovery can be run from "ACTinstall | QuickSetup | Autodiscovering"
The Autodiscover returns a list of controllers with the NetBIOS name.
Select the discovered controllers; click "Add New" then "Next" and "Finish".
