I. Adding a Wireless Gateway (Com Port) for use with Trilogy Networx™ Wireless Locks / Netpanel
Note: To add a Trilogy Networx™ wireless lock or Net Panel to MVP Access, you'll first need to add an Alarm Lock Wireless Gateway to the Com Port section in MVP Access. Please confirm that the Wireless Gateway is one of our Supported Gateways. Please refer to Wireless Hardware Placement Tips (Gateway and Expanders) for best practices when installing a Wireless Gateway or Expander.
1. Connect the Wireless Gateway to the customers network using an ethernet cable and power up the gateway. Please wait at least 2 minutes while your device acquires a DHCP IP Address.
2. Go to Configuration > Com Ports and then press Add
3. Enter a Description for your Gateway
4. Select Type Wireless Gateway
5. Enter the Networx Gateway MAC Address
6. Select UTC Time Zone and Select Partition Group (Main is Default). Then press Save . (Leave configuration at default interval)
