Configuring the ProxNet

In this section, we will describe the configuration of the ProxNet: setting all system timing
functions, configuring the reader database, and defining the reader’s I/O assignments.

Set the Timing Functions

The following commands deal with setting system time, date, time zone, and holiday zone
functions.

Set the System Time and Date

Synchronizing the time and date between access control units on the network and the host
computer allows for accurate time/date tracking of events. To set the time and date for the control
units on the network to match that of the host computer, use your pointing device and select
Utility and then Time and Date. The status message line will state:

Once communication has been established, the following prompt box will appear.

Press

<ESC>

to exit the operation without changing the time and date. Or, press

<ENTER>

and

the TAP100 software will set the access control unit’s time and date to match that of the host
computer. The software will confirm the operation completed successfully by displaying the new
time.

For example: If the computer’s time is 17:35:45 (5:35 P.M. and 45 seconds) and its date is July 4,
1995, the following information will be displayed.

NOTE: All time commands are formatted to a 24-hour clock. For example: 6:15 P.M.
becomes 18:15 hours.

Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
