Adding additional hardware to build a system with multiple
interconnected units - one database (EP Series Only)
NOTE: Standalone installations proceed to pg. 6 to add users.
EP-x36 Series units provide the ability to add additional controllers to expand the amount of doors, inputs and outputs. These additional controllers are
referred to as clients. An IP Installer is a utility located on a thumb drive shipped with all systems. This utility provides a simple method of identifying
the IP address of the controller(s).
1. Connect all controllers to the local network.
2. Connect a thumb drive to a Windows computer on the local network.
3. Locate IPInstaller.exe and double-click the le.
4. IP Installer will open. Click Scan to search the network for controllers.
5. When controllers are identied they will be listed in IP Installer.
Conguring the Server and Client
The default IP address of the server and client is 192.168.0.250. To avoid conict on the network, the IP address of the client and server must be
changed as follows:
1. Connect the server to the network.
2. Open IPInstaller.exe and click Scan.
3. Select the client from the list and click Set Network.
4. Enter a new IP address for the server. This information must be provided by the IT Administrator.
5. Change the Subnet Mask and Gateway to meet the requirements of the local network. This information must be provided by the IT
Administrator.
6. Enter the IP Installer password (default = 4321) and click OK.
7. Connect the client to the network and repeat steps 1 through 4 to change the client’s IP address.
