2 This document

This document contains all the information that is required for the installation of the ApolloN controller. The details and recommendations will be described in the chapters below.

2.1 ApolloN Smart cabinet security controller

ApolloN is a site management controller and has been specially developed by TKH Security for so-called active locations. For example, street cabinets, where power- and network connection are available.
ApolloN combines access control, security and monitoring of environment at such a location. In addition, it enables managers of critical infrastructures to remotely check the status of a location. For example, ApolloN measures the temperature and humidity in the cabinet, checks whether the cabinet is still standing in the upright position and monitors the position of the door(s). If desired, smoke detectors, intrusion detection and water detection can be added to the location.
Monitoring the installation is essential to increase the service life of the equipment in the cabinet and helps to prevent malfunctions or further damage. By using an ApolloN you can therefore save on operational cost.
The site manager has full control over the technical location (street cabinet) when using iProtect.
iProtect is ideal for monitoring many buildings, locations and unmanned sites. If iProtect is not used, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is standard available in the ApolloN.

The office network, technical network and video network must be structured separately to ensure sufficient
bandwidth for the various connections.

3.1 Wiring

This document assumes standard T-568 color coding of the cables.

3.2 Tools and equipment

When installing the Apollo, we recommend the installer the following tools and materials:

• T-568B cable
  o Advised color: Blue, Yellow, Red and green

• RJ45 plugs

• Wire side cutter

• Crosshead Philips Screwdriver

• Screwdriver

4 Installation start-up

To ensure proper functioning of the equipment, the environment of the hardware must be compliant with certain conditions.

4.1 Mounting brackets

Use this procedure to mount the brackets onto the housing.

• Unpack the carton box

• Mount the brackets on both sides at the front of the 19-inch housing.

• Use three M3x6 screws per bracket (see picture below).

4.2 DIP-Switch settings extension module

Before installing the ApolloN into a 19-inch rack, please set the DIP-Switches of the extension board(s) into the correct position. Please read chapter 7 for further information.

4.3 Rack installation

• Position the ApolloN horizontal into the 19-inch rack.

• Insert the correct mounting screws through the brackets and into the threaded holes but do not tighten the screws completely.

• When all screws are inserted, keep the Apollo horizontal and tighten all screws.

4.4 Power cord

When using a 110/230V AC-DC ApolloN, the inlet for connecting the power cord is placed at the backside of the housing. The ApolloN will start-up immediately when the power is connected. At the front, status LED’s will become active.
A locking wire saddle can be placed at the back of the housing for guidance of the power cord.

5 ApolloN

The ApolloN is an powerful controller with a multicore processor, a secure bootloader, and a Linux Operating System.

5.1 Applications

Depending on the situation, the ApolloN can be used in a range of different ways.

The ApolloN can be used if:

• More flexibility is required

• More redundancy is required

• End-to-End security is required

• Maximum security is required

• 19-inch rack installation is required

5.2 Required software versions

The ApolloN is supported in iProtect version 10.0 and higher.

5.3 Power budget

In the ApolloN we use a power budget. The maximum of this power budget is determined by the type of ApolloN (e.g. 110/230VAC|DC or 48VDC|24VDC). This maximum must not be exceeded. If the maximum is exceeded, the condition of the device can be compromised. For further information, see chapter11.

5.4 Flexible hardware setup

The ApolloN is very flexible in many ways. The ApolloN consists of a motherboard and one, two or three Extension boards.
When only a few monitoring functions and access control is necessary, you can opt for the use of one Reader- and IO Extension module (RIO). If more connection points (or card readers) are desired, a second or a third extension module can easily be added.

5.5 Interfaces

5.6 Status LED

With the RGB status LED, the current mode of the ApolloN can be determined at a single glance. The meaning of the status LED colors is described in the table below:

5.7 Support in offline situation

When an ApolloN no longer has a network connection with the server, an offline situation arises. In order to guarantee autonomous operation, local data storage is necessary (including cards with valid access rights). And in this offline situation, the events of inputs, (lock control) outputs and cards may not be lost.
The maximum storage amount is described in the table below:

5.8 Connections

All hardware connections are described in the chapters below. For technical drawings, see chapter 12.

5.8.1 Serial connection (USB-to-RS232)

When a serial RS232 connection is required, a USB-to-RS232 converter (recommended by TKH-Security, part number 503-1805) must be used. Only one USB-to-RS232 converter can be used per ApolloN.

5.8.2 kpSensor bus connection

The ApolloN is fitted with a kpSensor bus port. When connecting a kpSensor (maximum 10) it allows the ApolloN to measure the temperature and humidity in a certain area.

5.8.3 Serial port connection

The ApolloN is provided with a General purpose communication port (RS232/RS422/RS485).

6 Network connection

8 Diagnostics

The ApolloN can be fully tested before communicating with iProtect ™ through a diagnostic program on the device.

8.1 Initiating ApolloN diagnostics

NOTE System diagnostics are only possible if there is no communication between the ApolloN and iProtect™.

If the ApolloN has never been connected to an iProtect system the diagnostics mode is readily available.

When the ApolloN has been connected to an iProtect system, the following steps must be taken to make the diagnostics available:

• Deactivate the line of the ApolloN in iProtect. After approx. 1 minute the status led will be blue indicating that the connection with iProtect is lost.

• Now the ApolloN can be rebooted using the Reboot option in the Advanced menu of the ApolloN Maintenance page.

Navigate to the IP address of the device and perform the following steps:

• Click on the ‘Hardware’ button and activate diagnostics. Three addition diagnostics options will appear.

8.1.1 Node manager

When the Node Manager tab is selected, the connected extension board(s) will automatically be retrieved and a list will appear.

The list shows the location, type, serial number, firmware and hardware revision of the extension boards.
Detailed diagnostics of the extension boards can be obtained by selecting a board in the list. A number of tables with diagnostic info regarding that extension board is opened.

• All available ports are displayed, and the values can be monitored

• When an output is selected, controls appear to test the output

• The on-board sensors will be displayed

• When an access card is presented to a reader, the card number will be displayed

8.1.2 Reader manager

When the Reader manager tab is selected, the connected RS485 card readers will automatically be retrieved and shown in a list. The ID, serial number, type and firmware version of the reader will be displayed.

8.1.3 1-Wire

When the 1-Wire tab is selected, a list of connected 1-wire devices is displayed. For each sensor the sensor ID and the measured value are displayed.

9 SNMP Support

It is possible to monitor the states of the ApolloN and the sensors that are connected to it via thee SNMP protocol (besides the use of iProtect).
The ApolloN supports SNMP v3 for the monitoring of data and it can send out SNMP v3 informs when certain events occur.

9.1 SNMP configuration

The SNMP service can be configured in the ApolloN Maintenance Page. Via the menu item Services on the tab Configuration, the relevant configuration parameters can be set.

The following parameters can be used:

• User name: This is the name of the SNMPv3 user that will be used to get the data from the ApolloN via an SNMPv3 connection

• Authentication method: Choices: None, MD5 or SHA.

• Authentication passphrase: the secret that is used in the authentication, must be at least 8 characters long.

• Privacy: The encryption method that is used for the communication: Choices: none, DES, AES.

• Priv. passphrase: the secret that is used in the encryption, must be at least 8 characters long.

• SNMPv3 Traps enabled: Should the ApolloN send out traps.

• Trap destination: When SNMPv3 traps are enabled, the destination address of the traps should be given. Note: only 1 destination address is supported at the moment.

When the correct settings are made on the configuration tab, the SNMP service can be started from the General tab.

9.2 Monitored parameters

The SNMP parameters that can be queried via the SNMP service of the ApolloN are determined by the MIB’s that are installed on the system. Many standard MIB’s are supported and can be queried.
For the specific ApolloN features an APOLLON-MIB has been designed. This MIB supports the following data items (only through the GET method, no SET method is supported).

• Main:
  o Reset button
  o Processor Temperature
  o Hardware version
  o Fan speed
  o Type of SDD (Solid State Disk)
  o Number of connected 1-wire sensors
  o For each 1-wire sensor:

• Address

• Type

• Value
  o Number of extension boards

• Extension Board:
  o Device ID
  o Device Type
  o Number of Green inputs

• Input state
  o Number of Green outputs

• Output state
  o Number of Green lock controls

• Lock control state
  o Number of Reader power outputs

• Reader power output state
  o Number of Red analog inputs

• Analog input value
  o Number of Red output power

• Output state
  o Number of Blue outputs

• Output state
  o Number of Blue inputs

• Input state
  o Number of Relay outputs

• Output state

The number of inputs/outputs etc refers to the total number of inputs, outputs on all extension boards. The RIO and PIO extension boards have I/O ports that can be configured as input or output by the iProtect system. Whether a port will show up in SNMP as input or output will be determined by the setting in iProtect.

9.3 SNMPv3 Traps

The ApolloN supports SNMPv3 traps in the form of informs. This means that the ApolloN SNMP service expects the traps that are sent out, to be acknowledged by the receiving system.
The trap mechanism uses the same authentication and privacy methods as are defined for the SNMPv3 GET operations.

In the following situations a trap/inform is sent:

• The reset button is pressed

• The processor temperature is above 85oC

• A Blue input is triggered

• The ReaderManager process is not present

• The NodeManager process is not present.
