PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Prior to installing Openpath hardware, it is assumed that you have performed a customer site
survey and have determined the following:
● How many entries need to be configured (e.g. doors, gates, and/or elevator floors)
● Whether you're using legacy wiring or new wiring
● What kind of electronic entry mechanisms, Request to Exit (REX) mechanisms, and door
contact sensors will be used and their power requirements. If your locking hardware requires
24V DC, either use the Smart Hub ACU with included 24V power supply (SMART
HUB-ACU-4WDP) or use a separate 24V supply.
○ NOTE:​ The Smart Hub ACU with 12V power supply (SMART HUB-ACU-4W) supports up
to 2A for locking hardware.
● Whether you're providing backup batteries for the ACUs. See ​
● Whether you're supporting a legacy access control panel. See ​
Installation
NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
An Ethernet connection with DHCP must be used to connect the ACU to the Local Area Network
(LAN). You also need to configure firewall settings to communicate with the Openpath system.
Openpath uses the following outbound ports:
● TCP port 443
