1 Introduction

With the hardware control applet, it is possible to configure the reader ports available in the Pluto- or Polyx reader manager.

Configuring is being done by loading a configuration file. This file includes data as:

• The sort of card reader(s) which are controlled by the reader manager.

• The protocol, in which the reader manager communicates with the card reader(s).

• The function of the LED’s on the reader(s).

These data are determined by the lay-out of the access control system, the existing situation, necessities and the wishes of the customer. The configuration can be different per reader port.

2 Before using

2.1 Required software

Check, whether JAVA is installed on your pc/laptop or not. If this is not the case, install JAVA
first. See http://www.java.com

2.2 Required firmware

To guarantee proper communication between the reader manager and the card reader, it is
strongly recommended to make use of the latest reader manager firmware available.
For Polyx, see chapter 2.2.1. For Pluto, see 2.2.2.

2.2.1 If Polyx

Check whether the Polyx is supplied with a correct firmware version. The firmware version can
be found in the iProtect security management system or directly via diagnostics.

2.2.1.1 Automatically update of the firmware

Depending of the iProtect version, the Polyx reader manager firmware will be automatically
updated through provisioning.

2.2.1.2 Manually update of the firmware

If the reader manager firmware is not up-to-date, please execute the following steps:

1. Open a web browser on your PC or laptop:

2. Enter the IP address of the Polyx (e.g. http://192.168.1.195).

3. The upload of the page appears:

2.2.2 If Pluto

The Pluto reader manager firmware will be automatically updated through provisioning.

2.3 Loading Applet

1. Download the compressed applet file from the knowledge bank of TKH Security.

2. Double click on the file you have downloaded. Subsequently it will be executed in the
   directory, where the downloaded file is located. Place the files in a directory on your pc or
   laptop.

3 Using the Applet

1. Double click on the KpController-externaluse.jar.
   The following main page will appear:

Choose if the configuration concerns a Polyx device or Pluto device.
2. If Polyx, please go to chapter 4
3. If Pluto, please go to chapter 5

4 Configuration Polyx device

This chapter will describe how to configure the Polyx device.

This chapter describes the functions which apply to all tab sheets.

Open:
It is possible to open earlier created by this applet .taz files with the “open” button.

1. Press “open”.

2. Browse to the correct file and select it.

3. Press “open”.

Save the information into the configuration file:
With this checkbox it is possible to determine separately for each tab sheet, whether the data must be saved or not. By disabling this checkbox, the tab sheet will not be saved.

For example: if the tab sheet from reader 1 is not saved. The Polyx will keep the previous
configuration.

Save:
This function will save the tab sheets where “save the information into the configuration file” is enabled.

1. Press “save”

2. Specify a logical name

3. Press “save”

Navigate:
This menu will allow the user to within the Keyprocessor hardware control application. The following menus are available:

• Polyx device main page

• Pluto device main page

• Main menu

4.2 Tab sheet General

Here the password can be defined to make use of remote diagnostics.

4.3 Tab sheets Reader 1, Reader 2, Reader 3

In the reader tab sheets, it is possible to define which reader and corresponding protocol must be used.

Protocol:
Choose at “reader protocol” the protocol of the reader, which is connected to the Polyx.

You can choose the following protocols to communicate with the reader:

• STX/ETX – A serial version of the ABA-CLK/DAT protocol. This protocol is only suitable for readers (SmartID) with one-way data communication from the reader.
  Here, the Polyx should be provided with a card protocol.

• SmartID t=cl – The reader is fully managed by the Polyx. Here, the Polyx should be provided with a card protocol and keystore.

• Sirius (801-5050) – The reader is fully managed by the Polyx. Here, the Polyx should be provided with a card protocol and keystore.

• Sirius i-series – The reader is fully managed by the Polyx. Here, the Polyx should be provided with a card protocol and keystore.

• Vandal proof (801-501x) – The reader is fully managed by the Polyx. Here, the Polyx should be provided with a card protocol and keystore.

• Sirius LEGIC – Protocol to handle Sirius LEGIC readers.

• Aperio – Protocol for Aperio fittings. Here the Polyx should be provided with a card protocol.

• Sallis – Protocol for Sallis fittings. Here the Polyx should be provided with a card protocol

• OSDP – open standard protocol.

• PHG Legic – Protocol for PHG Legic card readers. Here, the Polyx should be provided with a card protocol.

• PHG Rs485 – Protocol for PHG finger scan reader. Here, the Polyx should be provided with a card protocol.

1. Press on the dropdown menu from the “protocol”

2. Select the desired reader protocol

Baudrate:
Depending on the selected type of reader, the default baud rate will be loaded (do not change this setting!).

Card protocol:
Here the available card protocols are visible. The protocols available depends on the reader protocol.

1. Press on the dropdown menu from the “card protocol”

2. Select the desired protocol.

Active LED:
Here the default LED color can be defined. The active LED color is the default LED color of the card reader.

Access LED:
