QuickStart Guide
PC SETUP
To minimize potential issues during setup of the defender, a few changes
on the programming PC should be made before beginning anything else.
1. Install the Access Control Software Suite Guide. The files for this
software can be obtained through download on the Defender
webpage on EMX's website.
Link to website below, click on "TRES Defender"
https://www.emxaccesscontrolsensors.com/product/defender/
After downloading the defender package, extract the files to
somewhere on your PC (must be local, server locations will give
issues). Then run "setup.exe" to install.
2. Disable windows firewall on all possible
network connections. If the firewall is
present, the defender cannot be found over
an ethernet connection.
To disable the windows firewall, type
"disable firewall" into the start menu
search bar. This should bring up the
windows defender firewall control panel.
From here, there should be an option on the
left side labeled "Turn Windows Defender
Firewall ON or OFF".
Turn off all three network firewalls
(Domain, Private, and Public).
REMEMBER TO TURN THEM BACK ON WHEN FINISHED PROGRAMMING THE
DEFENDER
3. Disconnect the PC from the internet during the first connection to allow easier finding of the defender
board over ethernet. If an internet connection is present, the default IP of the defender may be the same
as other devices on the network and will not connect without advanced networking changes.
4. Ensure the date and time are correct on your PC machine. The date/time of your PC will be used to
update time/day the defender thinks it is.
