Basic PXL Controller Configuration
This document covers the basic configuration of PXL controllers in Doors.NET software.
It assumes Doors.NET has already been successfully installed on your host PC, the soft-
ware license has been activated, and the gateway has been configured for your con-
troller type.
NOTE: PXL-based sites with the following types of controllers are NOT supported in
Doors.NET at this time:
l
Entraguard telephone entry controllers (including mixed PXL and Entraguard sites)
l
PXL-510 controllers for alarm panel control
l
LC-502/-508 controllers for elevator control
l
PXL-500G controllers for gate control
l
PXL-250 controllers (this product line is obsolete)
Replicating Sites Mode in Doors.NET
Doors.NET can replicate Doors32’s Sites mode by using multiple master controllers.
This allows you to maintain the Sites mode style organization. Doors.NET can support
up to 64 master controllers, replicating up to 64 Sites, and each master controller can
have up to 127 slave controllers. Doors.NET allows all sites to be monitored, admin-
istered, and updated concurrently; something that is not possible in Doors32.
Adding a PXL-500 Master Controller to the PXL Gate-
way
To use a PXL controller network you must first establish a connection to the master con-
troller. Communication to the master controller can be made via a serial, Ethernet, or
modem connection. Each master controller will have a communications channel
enabled, setup, and assigned to it. All slave controllers are then added to the system
using auto-configuration.
1. Open the Doors.NET login window by clicking on the client icon on the desktop.
2. Login to the software using the default username and password of admin / admin,
then click Connect.
