UBOX4000 (Updater)
UBOX4000 updaters are CUs that are connected to a local area network (LAN) using a network cable. They connect to the Salto Network using a TCP/IP connection. UBOX4000 updaters functionalities are mainly related to updating tasks and third party integrations. This device also supports an embedded UBOX4000 (Auxiliary).
The UBOX4000 updaters provide a link between the third party unit and Space, and transmit data to the third party unit. This means the third party unit does not require a TCP/IP connection. You must physically connect the third party unit to a UBOX4000 updater using an RS485 cable, which establishes communication between them.
To add a UBOX4000 updater, do the following:
Select System > Salto Network. The Salto Network screen is displayed.
Click Add. The Add network device dialog box is displayed.
Select UBOX4000 (Updater) from the drop-down list.
Click OK. The UBOX4000 (Updater) information screen is displayed.
Type a name for the UBOX4000 updater in the Name field.
Type a description for the UBOX4000 updater in the Description field. For example, it can be used to describe where the UBOX4000 updater is located.
Type the MAC address in the MAC address field. The MAC address is displayed on a sticker on the UBOX4000 updater.
Select either the Network name (DHCP) or IP address radio button. If you select the Network name (DHCP) option, this automatically assigns an IP address to the UBOX4000 updater. A DHCP server and a DNS are required for this option. If you select the IP address option, you must type an IP address in the field.
Select Use 485 bus for third party integration when CerPass/OSDP protocol is required to be used with integration with the corresponding third party unit driving RS485 bus. We can define which readers are sending the received information by CerPass/OSDP. This means a reader can be installed that's not related to a third party integration.
Select the appropriate time zone from the Time zone drop-down list. Note that the Time zone panel is only displayed if you have enabled the Multiple time zones functionality in Space General options. See Activating multiple time zones and Time zones for more information.
Click Save. The embedded UBOX4000 (Auxiliary) controller displays under the Time zone panel. See UBOX4000 (Auxiliary) controllers for further information.
When you add a UBOX4000 (Updater) controller, an embedded UBOX4000 (Auxiliary) controller is automatically created. It cannot be deleted. Each UBOX4000 (Updater) can support its embedded UBOX4000 (Auxiliary) controller and a third party integration unit. The name of the embedded UBOX4000 (Auxiliary) controller will be always the same as the parent UBOX4000 (Updater) preceded by an underscore. For example: _UBOX4000 updater.
- Click on Back to Salto Network to return to the Salto Network screen.
