3)
Do not use an office network. Use an isolated hub or switch between the
computer and AADvance controller. Check that the hub/switch has LEDs lit for
the ports to both computer and controller, showing that the ports are working.
4)
Open the Network Connections window. Open the Properties of the computer’s
network adapter (as used for configuring AADvance). Un-tick all protocol "items"
which are not immediately necessary, especially "Check Point SecuRemote" and
"iPass Protocol" (if present). You will need to leave "Internet Protocol" (or) "IPv4"
and "IPv6", "Client for Microsoft Networks", "File and Printer Sharing" and
"Network Monitor Driver" (if present) for normal Windows operation.
5)
Disable the Windows Firewall, or any third-party firewalls and shields.
6) If you are using a laptop, disable Wireless. If you have more than one network
connection, disable the one you are not using. The Discover tool installed with
AADvance Workbench release 1.2 (1.20.109) will not discover with more than
one network connection available.
Configure the Controller Resource Number Configure the Controller Resource Number Configure the Controller Resource Number Configure the Controller Resource Number
When you build a new AADvance controller, or install a new 9100 processor base
unit, you have to configure the resource number stored in the controller. This is a kind
of device address, and it must also be configured in the application.
The procedure to configure the resource number uses the AADvanceDiscover
utility. To set the resource number do the following:
1)
Make a note of the controller's MAC address (Controller ID); this is shown on
a label on the processor base unit. Install at least one 9110 processor module into
the processor base unit.
2) Make sure the program enable key is inserted in the KEY connector on the
processor base unit.
3) Start the AADvDiscover tool from the Start menu:
Start → All Programs → AADvance → AADvance Discover.
The AADvanceDiscover utility scans the network for controllers, and
creates a list.
4) Locate the controller in the list and make sure that the status of the controller is
Configurable.
5) Double-click on the MAC address in the Controller ID field.
