  • Page 2 The Gateway is connected to the Cisco Physical Access Manager using an Ethernet connection to the IP network. Power is supplied through a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection, or using a DC power source. Each Gateway includes connections for up to two Wiegand door readers, three input devices, and three output devices.

  • Page 15 Cisco Systems strongly recommends using a network time protocol (NTP) server to synchronize the date and time clock on each Gateway module, and on the Cisco PAM appliance. This ensures that events and messages between the server and the Gateway modules are in sync. If the time and date are not synchronized, inconsistent system behavior can occur.
  • Page 16 You can use a DHCP server to assign an IP address for the Gateway. • If a DHCP server is not used, gather the Cisco Physical Access Gateway IP address, IP gateway, subnet mask. The domain name server (DNS) for the Gateway if DNS names (not IP addresses) are used for the •...
  • Page 17 DNS Configuration: enter a DNS configuration if names (not IP addresses) are used for the NTP • or CPAM addresses. Cisco PAM Configuration: defines the IP address and port of the Cisco PAM appliance that is used • to manage the Gateway.
  • Page 18 Enter the Cisco PAM IP Address (IP address or name) to enable Gateway communication with the appliance. Enter the Port number for the Cisco PAM appliance. The port number must be greater than 1024 and less 65535. The default is 8020.
  • Page 19 Access Manager User Guide. Changing the User Password You can also change the password for one or more Gateways using the Cisco PAM desktop software. See the “Changing Gateway Passwords” section in the Cisco Physical Access Manager User Guide for more information.
  • Page 20 Chapter 2 Installing and Configuring the Cisco Physical Access Gateway Configuring and Managing the Gateway Using a Direct Connection Procedure To change the password used to access the Gateway, perform the following procedure: Click the User Management tab, as shown in Figure 2-14.
  • Page 21 Chapter 2 Installing and Configuring the Cisco Physical Access Gateway Configuring and Managing the Gateway Using a Direct Connection Procedure To upgrade the Gateway firmware from a PC directly connected to the module, perform the following procedure: Log on to the Gateway administration tool, as described in the “Connecting a PC to the Gateway”...
  • Page 22 Delete configuration: delete the module configuration. The configuration is automatically – dowloaded when the Gateway establishes communication with the Cisco PAM appliance. Delete events: delete all events stored on the Gateway. – Click Upgrade to copy the firmware image to the Gateway module and perform the selected options (if Step 5 any).
