The IXW-MA adaptor has 10 relay outputs that can be triggered by an event of an IX Series Station. This guide will walk through programming a system to include the IXW-MA, as well as programming the adaptor.

Programming a New System to Include an IXW-MA

Step 1: System Settings

• Create New System
  Open-IX Support Tool. From the top menu bar click File and select Create New System.

• New System
  Enter a System Name under System Settings and select the quantity for each station type under IX Support Tool Settings.

• Creating the System
  Once each field of the New System page is filled appropriately, click Next.v

Station Customization

Support Tool will provide each station a default Station Name, four-digit Number, and IP Address starting from 192.168.1.10. To edit this information, click Station Details in the Advanced Settings section, shown below. To use the default information created by Support Tool, skip to Step 3

Station Details

Click Station Details to edit the Number,  Name, and IP Address for each station.

Station Customization (continued)

• Edit Station Details
  Edit the Number, Name, IP Address, and Subnet Mask for each station as needed.
  Note: Do not fill in the Hostname .

• Update Station Details
  Click OK to update the station details that were edited.

Association

The association process will link the information created in Support Tool with a station found on the network. Once associated, the station will receive its station name and network information after a short power cycle.

• Select
  Select the setting file to be associated from the Station Settings List.

• Select
  Select the scanned station to be associated with the selected file from the Station List.

• Apply
  Click Apply to associate the selected station with the selected file. Repeat until all stations are associated.

• Status
  Confirm that each station has been successfully associated in the Status column.

• Next

If all stations show Success, click Next Setting File Upload

Once each station has been associated with its individual station information, the setting file containing the rest of the system’s information will need to be uploaded to each station. To upload the setting file, the programming PC will need to be in the same subnet as the associated stations. The PC’s current IP address is listed in the bottom left-hand side of this window.
Note that without uploading a setting file, most functions and features will be unavailable to the stations.

• Select
  Stations can be selected individually, or by Type. Choose All from the Select Station by Type drop down menu to upload to all stations. Then, click Select.

• Start Upload
  Once station Status shows Available click Start Upload .

• Next
  After successful upload, click Next

Note

The progress of each station will be displayed in the Status column. Unavailable stations may still be rebooting from the association process. If a station has rebooted and is still unavailable, ensure the programming PC is in the same subnet as the station.

Export Settings

The final step in the Programming Wizard is to create a copy of the system’s setting file and export it to a secure location or external drive.

• Export
  Click Export

• Select Folder
  Select location to save the file then click OK

• Finish
  Click Finish

Note

If the original program file is lost, or the Support Tool is moved to a different PC, this copy can be used to access the system programming to add or remove a station, or to make programming changes.

Do not proceed with this section if the IXW-MA was already included when creating the new system. The steps below will walk through adding an IXW-MA relay adaptor to an existing system. The IXW-MA should be connected to the same network as the existing system before proceeding. Open-IX Support Tool and select the existing system to be edited.

• System Configuration
  Click Tools from the top menu bar and select System Configuration.

Adding an IXW-MA to an Already Existing System

• Select Station Type
  Select the IXW-MA using the Station Type drop-down and enter the quantity of stations to be added. Click Add

• Edit Station Information
  Edit the Number and Name for the new station to be added.

• Add
  Click Ok to add the station.

The added station will appear in the Station Settings list with the number and name assigned. The IP address assigned will be the next available in the IP address scheme of the existing system.

• Select
  Select the setting file for the IXW-MA from the Station Settings List.

• Select
  Select the IXW-MA to be associated with the selected file from the Station List.

• Apply
  Click Apply to associate the selected station with the selected file.

• Status
  Confirm that the IXW-MA has been successfully associated in the Status column.

• Next
  If stations show Success, click Next

SIF Settings

Step 1: Enabling SIF Functionality for IX Series Stations

The IXW-MA will only recognize the change contact transmission trigger. All other transmission triggers will be ignored by the adaptor. The transmission trigger is sent from the station receiving the release command to the IXW-MA. The following process outlines the settings required to send this SIF event by the door station. From the menu on the left, expand Function Settings and select SIF.

Note:

These settings will need to be configured for each source of the SIF event, not the IXW-MA.

• Enable
  Enable SIF Functionality.

• Program Type
  Enter 0100.

• IPv4 Address
  Enter the IPv4 Address of the IXW-MA.

• Destination Port
  Enter 65013 if SSL is Disabled, Enter 65014 if SSL is Enabled.

• Connection
  Use the Connection drop-down menu to select Socket.

• Scroll Right
  Scroll the window to the right until the Change contact column is displayed.

• Change Contact
  Check the Change contact box for each station that will communicate with the IXW-MA.

• Update
  Click Update to store the settings and continue to the next step.

• Creating the SIF.ini File
  Creating a line of code, in the form of a .ini file, is required to allow an IX Series (IX-DA, IX-BA, IX-MV) device to communicate to the IXW-MA. The example below is shown using a common text editor (i.e. Notepad), and saving it with a .ini extension.

• Program Type: IXW-MA IP Address: Destination Port: SSL Y/N : Must be binary number 0100. IP address assigned to the IXW-MA .
  Port number assigned on the IXW-MA. Enter 65013 if SSL is disabled, 65014 if SSL is enabled. Input 0 if disabled, input 1 if enabled.

• Example Text File:

Save the SIF file with a .ini extension (.ini must be typed manually) to a location on the PC being used for programming the IX Series stations. This file must be uploaded to each device associated with the IXW-MA using the instructions that follow.

• SIF Settings
  From the menu on the left, expand Function Settings and select SIF.

• Station View
  Click the Station View button at the top of the left menu.

• Select Station
  Use the Number drop-down under Select Station to Edit and choose the IX Series door station. Click Select and ensure that the door station is shown in upper left of the screen.

• Enable SIF
  Select the Enable radio button for SIF Functionality.

• Scroll Down
  Scroll down until SIF File Management is displayed.

• Browse
  Click the Browse button select the SIF.ini file that was created in Step 1.
