The initial setup of the Ethernet Relay

Regardless of whether the ethernet relay will be used with Doorkeeper or a Nirovision server, the ethernet relay needs the network settings configured first.

Note:

The default IP address, username, and password:

• IP Address: 192.168.1.100

• Username: admin

• Password: admin

Configuring the ethernet relay

1. Log into the web interface for the ethernet relay by entering the IP address into your browser.

2. Press Settings to edit the network settings of the ethernet relay.

   1. ETH settings are used to configure the network settings when an ethernet cable is connected.

      1. Set ETH DHCP to No in order to set a static IP address.

   2. STA settings are used to connect the ethernet relay to a WiFi network and set a static IP address if needed.

      1. Set STA Enable to Yes in order to start configuring these settings.

      2. Set ETH DHCP to No in order to set a static IP address.

   3. AP settings are used to connect directly to the ethernet relay when it is not connected to a network.

      1. Set AP Enable to Yes in order to start configuring these settings.

      2. The default WiFi access point details are:

         1. IP Address: 192.168.7.1

         2. WiFi SSID: dtrelaySN

         3. WiFi Password: dtpassword

3. Set HTTP Session to No.

4. When you have finished configuring the network settings, press Save.

5. If you wish to set a password for the relay, click on Relay Connect.

6. Locate Relay Password to set the password (Range: 0 - 9999. 0 is used to indicate no password set).

7. Press Save to confirm the changes.

Pair Ethernet Relay to Doorkeeper

2. Tap anywhere on the screen to bring up the Settings button, on the bottom left corner of your iPad. Tap on it.

3. Tap on Access Control & select Add Ethernet Relays to pair your ethernet relay.

4. Tap on Name to set a name for the ethernet relay.

5. Enter the Relay Password. Enter 0 if there is no password set on the relay.

6. In the URL field, enter the IP address of the ethernet relay. The IP address should be entered using this format, http://192.168.1.100.

7. Press Save to continue.

8. Once the ethernet relay is paired, select the newly paired ethernet relay to view the relay’s settings:

   1. Click on Name to change the name for the ethernet relay.

   2. Click on URL to update the IP address of the ethernet relay.

   3. Use Password to set a password for the ethernet relay. Set the password as 0 if there is no password set on the ethernet relay.

   4. Any Identity allows for the option of all identities allowed to trigger the ethernet relay or specific labels can also be selected.

   5. Selecting the setting below this allows the configuration of when the ethernet relay activates:

      1. Allows the selection of None, Open, and Close. Further settings will be displayed upon selecting either Open or Close.

      2. Select when the relay activates during the Doorkeeper flow. Options: Check In, Check Out, Break Start, Break End, Stop, and Show Face (while checked in).

      3. Using the Duration settings to set the length of time the relay is activated before returning to its normal state. Options: Once, 1 Second, 3 Seconds, 5 Seconds, and 15 Seconds. Once allows for the state of the relay to change a single time.

   6. Each relay needs to be configured.

Pair Ethernet Relay to your Nirovision server

We need to know the following information in order to be able to configure the server to work the ethernet relay:

• The IP address of the ethernet relay.

• The Relay Password. This is not the password used to log into the web interface. The Relay Password can be set on the web interface.

• A list of cameras and which specific relay/channel the camera should connect to (Front Door camera should connect to Relay1).

• The labels that will be used for the access control.

• The length of time that the door needs to be opened for.

Please send this information to support@nirovision.com and we will configure this for you.
