If a MicroPXNPlus or MicroPXNPlus2000 is downstream, consider

 

obtaining a network connection and using the Web Integrated

 

Configuration Tool to individually download firmware for ALL

 

micros.

Connection

You must select a micro type before this field becomes available. An

Type

error message displays if the selected connection type is not valid with

 

the micro type.

 

Select Dial-up if this micro is connected by a modem.

 

Select Direct if a cable connects this micro.

 

Select Network if this is a network micro connected by a network.

 

Select Network + Dial-up if this is a network micro and has a

 

backup dial-up option. When the network connection is not

 

available, the host attempts to reach the micro via a dial-up modem.

 

Select Network + Direct if this is a network micro. When the network

 

connection is not available, communication fails over to the

 

secondary direct connection and communication continues.

 

Select Network + Network if this is a network micro. When the

 

network connection is not available, communication fails over to a

 

secondary network communication through another IP address,

 

assigned on the Port Settings tab.

 

Dial-Up and Network + Dial-Up Micros: If the host computer of this

 

micro is licensed for Client Redundancy and has assigned a backup

 

client, a dialog box displays, reminding you to complete the Client Form

 

by configuring telephone numbers for backup clients to reach this micro.

Host Keep

Type (or use the up and down arrows) the number of seconds that the

Alive

host will wait before sending the next message to a micro. Enter a

 

number between 10 and 3600. In general, you want a large number

 

when you have many micros on the same line or have a slow baud rate.

 

The default is 30 seconds and in most cases, it does not need to be

 

changed.

Host

Select the PC Name from the drop-down list. This is the host machine

Computer

that will communicate with the newly defined micro in the future and acts

 

as the micro communication server.

 

If the Default Hostname computer is in a failover condition, you cannot

 

re-assign this micro to any other Host computer except the Active Client

 

that is presently hosting this device.

Badge

Note that any time a badge that is not in a micro is presented to a

Loading

reader, it is reported as unknown and the host sends the badge to the

 

micro. This happens regardless of the Badge Loading option. The

 

micros can store only a limited number of badges. Refer to the

 

"Licensing Secure Perfect" chapter of the Secure Perfect Installation

 

Guide for capacities. When a previously unknown badge is sent to a

 

micro whose badge capacity is exceeded, the micro randomly chooses

 

a badge to delete to make room for the new badge. The badge is

 

deleted from the micro but not from the Secure Perfect system.

 

Select Force to force a download of all badges that can possibly gain

 

access to a reader on the micro.

 

Select Learn to allow the micro to "learn" the badges as they are

 

presented. For example, when a badge is presented to a reader and the

 

micro does not recognize the badge as valid, the micro communicates

 

with the host to confirm badge validity. If the badge is valid, the

 

information for that badge is downloaded to the micro; therefore, the

 

micro will acknowledge this badge as valid the next time the badge is

 

presented to the reader.
