We’re excited to announce that our controllers and Ethernet adapters now feature an innovative Cloud Mode Select Jumper! This powerful new feature allows you to easily switch between Standard On-Premises CA4K Server Mode and Cloud Mode for MVP Access, providing greater flexibility for your access control setup. See the table below for full compatibility details.
Important Notes:
Check for required jumpers first—as they may not be supplied. Jumpers are supplied by customer service at no cost if needed.
To enable the Cloud Mode Select Jumper functionality on the CICP2100/CICP2100S (uniVerse), an Ethernet firmware update is required.
To enable the Cloud Mode Select Jumper functionality on the CICP1300 (Super 2) and CICP2800 (Accelaterm), a Net Board 2 must be installed. Additionally, the CICP1300 requires both an ethernet and panel firmware update or you can order part # CICP1300MVPKIT (Call for availability, coming soon).
1. Start by locating your Controller/Ethernet Adapter Model # in the table below—then follow the directions listed in the Instructions column in the middle of the table.
