Configuring IP-Based Single Door Controllers

Feature improvements for IPSDCs are occasionally made available on the product web site in the
form of firmware updates. See

Updating the Firmware

on page 91.

IPSDCs can be configured to use a fallback mode if connectivity with the System Controller is
lost. A local cache that stores the last 50 successful credentials can grant access. See

Configuring

Security

on page 18.

IPSDCs do not support Buzzer On and Buzzer Off actions configured for action triggers, tamper
input points, or auxiliary input types. See the TruPortal IP-Based Single Door Controller Quick
Reference
for details about modifying jumper settings for input types.

To replace an IPSDC, refer to

Replace a Door Controller

on page 25.

Preparing Client Workstations to Use the Integrated Configuration Tool
(ICT)

The Integrated Configuration Tool (ICT) is a browser-based program that is built-in to each IPSDC
that can be used to configure an IPSDC to recognize the System Controller.

The default IP address of an IPSDC is 192.168.6.6. Before using the ICT to configure an IPSDC, the
local client workstation must be prepared so that it is on the same sub-network as the IPSDC. These
steps vary depending on which operating system is used, as described next.
