Product description

The IPA-ER-020 PACS controller is a multifunctional device designed for integration with the ELTEX access control system. Access may be granted via an RFID key, the "Exit" button, a command from the web interface, or an API command. The controller accommodates readers with Wiegand-26/34/37/40/42/58 interfaces for the retrieval of RFID keys. This device is capable of locally storing up to 10,000 keys and maintaining a log of 50,000 events.

The device has a plastic housing and can be mounted on a DIN rail.

The description of the IPA-ER-020 elements is provided in the table below:

Device installation and configuration

To quickly install and configure IPA-ER-020, perform the following steps:

1. Connect auxiliary equipment to the device:

• Electromagnetic locks — to power relay contacts;
• Wiegand RFID readers — to Wiegand interfaces 1 and 2;
• "Output" buttons — to contacts of digital inputs DI2, DI4 and GND;
• Door opening sensors (reed relay) — to contacts of digital inputs DI1, DI3 and GND;
• Housing intrusion sensor — to CTR and GND contacts.

2. Connect the patch cord to the Ethernet interface and supply 12V power to the device.

3. Power connection of IPA-ER-020 device is made to screw terminals GND and 12V, indicated on the decorative label as Power. To provide power, it is necessary to use a pulse power supply with the following output parameters: voltage +12 V, current 1.5 A.

Web configurator

After powering up, it is necessary to connect to the device's web interface at IP address 192.168.1.10 using the HTTP protocol. If the IP address is assigned by the DHCP server, check the address directly on the server. The IP address of the computer must be on the subnet with the device, for example, the default is 192.168.1.0/24.

In the web interface, log in using the login: admin, password: admin.

2. To configure a network device, it is necessary to define the connection type:

• To set a fixed IP address, select "Static IP".

For static configuration, the following data Is required:

• • IP address;
  • Netmask;
  • Gateway;
  • DNS servers (if necessary).

• If this is a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses, select "DHCP Client".

3. Switch to the "EVI Platform" page. When using the "DHCP client" mode, it is possible to specify option 43 (Vendor Specific Information) on the DHCP server to automatically connect the controller to the EVI platform. If it is necessary to to enter the address manually, check the box next to the "Manual" item and register the server address.
