Quick Installation

Before installing your iGuard, it is important to check a few criteria for safe and easy installation. For this, please read the pre-installation notes as listed below for your reference as to steps you should take before implementing iGuard.

Pre-Installation Notes

The iGuard terminal is designed for indoor installation. If you wish to install it outdoors, you must beware of not exposing it to water or harsh conditions.
During installation you must be sure of grounding the iGuard back metal panel to Earth to prevent electrical impulses and shocks from affecting users or the iGuard terminals.
To prevent electrical shortage or short-circuits, it is advised not to share the power supply of the iGuard with any other device, e.g. electrical lock.
To ensure safety, do NOT connect the door button to the iGuard terminal. Instead connect it directly to the door strike, in case of power outage or other emergencies.
To heighten the security level of the premises, do install the external relay together with the iGuard. This will increase security since the external relay is placed within office premises and not outdoors, as is the iGuard.
Do NOT install the product next to heat emitting sources or in a place subject to direct sunlight or excessive dust.
If smart card reader model is used, please make sure the Company Code is set. See Configuration.

Installation

Determine the location(s) for installing iGuard, external relay, door lock and power supply line.

Fasten the rear metal panel at the location where the terminal will be installed.

Connect the terminal with the power supply provided by the factory.

iGuard can be connected directly to your corporate network via standard RJ-45 cable & TCP/IP protocols. Make sure your computer/notebook has been installed and configured with the TCP/IP Protocols.

iGuard can also be connected directly to the network card of PC via crossover RJ-45 cable.

Setting Network and TCP/IP address

On your iGuard, press FUNC, enter the default password "123", press FUNC, press 5.
Enter Date + FUNC.
Enter Time + FUNC.
Enter the device name + FUNC to continue.
Enter IP address (depending on your corporate network addressing scheme, e.g. 192.168.0.101) + FUNC to continue.
Enter Subnet Mask (depending on your corporate network addressing scheme, e.g. 255.255.255.0) + FUNC to continue.
Enter Default Gateway + FUNC to continue.
Enter DNS (optional) + FUNC to continue.
Select Master/Slave Mode (1 for Master or 2 for Slave).
Press 1 to accept these values or 2 to cancel.

To test whether the iGuard is functioning in the network, try to PING the device from your PC.

On your PC, go to Start - Run - Command
Type 'ipconfig " to check the IP address of your PC and make sure it is in the same network as iGuard.
Ping the IP address of iGuard, default: 192.168.0.100.
If the ping responds the following, the IP is set properly and you are ready to proceed:

C:\>ping 192.168.0.100
