1.4 Installation Initiation

Activation Key An activation key is needed to complete the installation. You can obtain an activation key by contacting your sales representative. During the installation, the activation is done online automatically. This does require temporary internet access for the computer where the installation is being performed. After you receive your activation key, keep it in a safe location as the key will only allow for activation of a single computer. However, if you ever need to re-install the software, you can use the same key on the same computer.

Download Start by transferring SynapSense 900 Enterprise installation file from panduit.com and putting them onto the local file storage system. The installation file can be found here: https://www.panduit.com/content/dam/panduit/en/support/download-center-assets/Panduit-Enterprise-Configuration-Utility-Setup.exe Using an administrator account, run the installer by double-clicking it. The installer will add the needed files to your hard drive. Multiple applications will be installed to enable the SynapSense 900 Enterprise system to run properly. There is a step-by-step configuration wizard which will guide you through configuring each of the applications. When the installer is finished, you will have a new icon on your desktop to launch the configuration wizard.

Website Configuration

The website is the user portal you will use to view and configure sensors. This website will run in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). IIS should have already been enabled as a prerequisite to installation. Enter the information for IIS to be able to create your personal website experience. This step creates the website folder, application bindings, and the hosting site. Physical Path - This field is where you will be storing the website folder. This field also configures IIS to where the folder is located. IP Address – This field is the first of three binding fields. By default, this field is set to use all unassigned IP addresses, which means all requests to that server will land at that site. If you are using the same server for multiple websites, you may need to configure different IP addresses. Port – This field is the second of three binding fields. By default, this field is set to use port 80 which means all requests to port 80 on the server’s IP address will bring up the site. Host Name – This field is the last of the three binding fields. By default, this field is set to be blank. If left blank, IIS will route all traffic to the configured IP address and port to this website. Optionally, you can configure the host name so that only requests with this host are routed to the Enterprise web application. This option allows IIS to host multiple sites on a single IP address.

Hit “Save” once you have entered the above information (if needed) and the website will get created. Hit “Next” to continue.

Database Configuration Enter the information to communicate with your SQL Server Instance. Before completing this step, you will have tested communication with the database to ensure credentials are properly configured. Database Server and Instance Name – This field is the server where your database is located. If you are using an instance name (default with SQL Server Express), the instance name will be included here also. Server can be either a DNS Resolvable host or an IP Address of the computer. Example: “COMPUTERNAME/SQLSERVEREXPRESS.” Database Name – This will be the name of the database. If you are upgrading and have an existing database, make sure this name matches. If you are installing for the first time, the name entered here will be the name of the database that is created. User Name – User authenticated to the database server for selected database. Password – Password for user to gain access to database. Requires (8) characters, one of which must be a number. Hit “Create New” to create the SQL database. Once the database has been created, hit “Fill” to populate it. Hit “Next” to continue the installation once the database is fully populated.

SMTP Configuration This step creates a connection to your SMTP server, so that the application can send notifications. This information can point to an email server, a SMTP forwarder, or a transactional email service.

SMTP Host - This field is the address of your SMTP server, i.e. www.smtphost.com. Port - This field is the port that your SMTP server uses. User - This field is the admin email account that will be used to send notifications, i.e. [email protected].

Password - This field is for the password to the email account which will be used to send notifications. Use SSL - This field determines if your SMTP server uses SSL or not. From Email Address - This field is the email address that will be sending out the notifications. This field can be different from the User field. From Name - This field is used as the name of the company or the name of the person sending the notification. Return Path - This field is typically the same as the user to negate spam issues with other SMTP servers. Hit “Test Email” to validate the settings are working correctly, then click “Next” to continue the installation.

Automated Email and Gateway Configuration This page determines the type of notifications that will be sent, what port the gateway service should be using, and if any inbound packets from all gateways or a specific gateway should be logged in the database. Send Inactivity Notifications - This field allows for inactivity notifications to be sent. Send Subscription Notifications - This field allows for subscription notifications to be sent. Send Maintenance Notifications - This field allows for maintenance notifications to be sent. Address to Listen On - This field tells the gateway service which port to listen on for gateways to send information. Default is Any: 3000. Inbound Packet Retention - This field determines if any gateway messages are stored in the database for troubleshooting.

Page 15 of 54 Copyright © 2017 Panduit Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 00090FMA/02

Firewall Rule Configuration This step creates an inbound firewall rule in Windows Firewall for both TCP and UDP. If you have additional firewalls, you will also need to create rules for traffic coming from the gateways to the server. Inbound Port - This field needs to be the same port used for “Address to Listen On”.

Wireless Gateway Server Test This page tests if the gateway will be able to communicate with the database using the gateway service. Because this is run from the same computer as the service is running, it will bypass any firewalls.

Host Address - This field by default uses the specific servers NIC Card IP Address; if the test is successful, the installation is complete.

1.5 Installation System Setup

First Login Before logging in, go to IIS and disable or remove the default website. The default website in IIS uses port 80 by default and will prevent access to the SynapSense 900 Enterprise software. Navigate in your browser to the web application you created in IIS. The credentials that are set when you first install the database are:

Username: Admin Password: password

After logging in the first time, the system will prompt you to agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA); on your second login, it will prompt you to change the password.

Managing Accounts See included Administration Guide pdf for information on managing multiple accounts.

Adding Gateways and Sensors SynapSense 900 Enterprise has the ability for the server to download the required metadata of the sensors and gateways from a central online repository using the sensor and gateway IDs and codes. This is only available if the server hosting the web application has access to the Internet. Adding gateways and sensors to the database is done in the same manner as moving them between networks after they are in the database. From the “Manage” screen, choose “Add Gateway/Add Sensor,” and you will be prompted for the gateway ID/sensor ID and code. These values are found on the ID labels affixed to the gateways and sensors.

As server administrator, there is an area available only to you, which provides a method of adding gateways and sensors to the database manually. This process should only be done if the server is unable to download the information from the central online database. Go to the account and network where you would like to add the device. Under Network Details in the “Administration” area, you will find the links to manually add gateways and sensors. This area also allows you to quickly move gateways and sensors between your different accounts/networks.

If it is necessary to manually add the devices into the database, you can look up the correct metadata from the online portal. Use a web browser to navigate to: https://www.synapsense900.com/lookup. Enter the sensor or gateway ID and check-code into the form, and the required metadata will be retrieved. Use this information to complete the “Add New Sensor” form to populate the database for your users. Once the sensor has been entered into the database, users will be able to move them between accounts using the device ID and code found on the device labels.

To add a new gateway into the database:

• Select “Add New Gateway.”

• Enter the gateway ID from the sticker on the gateway.

• Name the gateway.

• Choose the correct gateway type.

• Select the correct radio band (Management use only).

• Enter the correct APN Firmware Version (Management use only).

• Enter the correct Gateway Firmware Version (Management use only).

• MAC Address (not required) can be entered if you look it up on your network.

• Select “Create.” To add a sensor:

• Click “Add New Sensor.”

• Select the correct sensor profile (It is critical to operation that this information is entered correctly.)

• Enter the sensor ID from the bottom of the sensor.

• Name the sensor.

• Choose the correct type of sensor. o Commercial o Commercial (AA) o Industrial o Wi-Fi

• Enter the firmware version.

• Select the power source. o Commercial (CR2032) o Commercial (AA) o Line Power o Voltage o Industrial (Tadiran) o Industrial (Ind Rech) o Custom (AAA) o Custom (CR123) o Wi-Fi (AA)

Other Manual Configuration Options

To extend the session time out, add this in the website configuration file:

<sessionState timeout="60" />

(The number “60” is the number of minutes of inactivity before the user is logged out.)

1.6 Installation Troubleshooting

404 Error in Website If you are getting a 404 error when opening the application in your browser, it may be that the .NET framework isn’t registered in IIS. To register or re-register the .NET framework with IIS, open a command prompt as administrator and run the following commands:

cd \ cd Windows\Microsoft .NET\Framework\v4.xxx.xxx aspnet_regiis -i

Replace the “xxx.xxx” with the exact version of the framework installed on your server.

Server Error in ‘/’ Application If while trying to log in to your new version of Enterprise, the following error is reported, “Server Error in ‘/’ Application. Could not load type ‘System.ServiceModel.Activiation.HttpModule.’”

Make sure the application pool in IIS 7 is set to Framework 4.X with integrated pipeline mode. If the problem persists, re-register the .NET framework with IIS. To register or re-register the .NET framework with IIS, open a command prompt as administrator and run the following commands:

cd \ cd Windows\Microsoft .NET\Framework\V4.xxx.xxx aspnet_regiis /iru

Replace the “xxx.xxx” with the exact version of the framework installed on your server.

IIS Configuration Errors If you are getting the following error, "This access control list is not in canonical form and therefore cannot be modified," you most likely do not have permissions to write to the folder to which you have chosen to save your website files. There are two fixes for this issue:

• 1. Using a web browser, navigate to the folder you chose for website installation. Right click on the folder, click “Properties,” click the Security tab, and add your user to the permissions list. This will reorder the Security list and fix the issue.

• 2. Choose a different location to store the website folder and files that you know you have permission to access.

HTTP Error 500.21 – Internal Server Error If you are getting the following error, "HTTP Error 500.21 – Internal Server Error. Handler ‘ExtensionslessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0’ has a bad module ‘ManagedPiplineHandler’ in its module list" you most likely do not have ASP.NET registered in IIS. To fix:

• Go to command line and enter the following: %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Re-start IIS after the command has been executed and ASP.NET should now be correctly registered.

2. Administration Mode

Overview The SynapSense900 interface was created such that all parent accounts have access to all subaccounts. If your account has been created properly, you will have access to an Administration tab from which you can help manage any subaccounts, troubleshoot problems, find devices, check statuses, manage subscriptions, create new accounts, proxy into subaccounts, run reports, and much more. As a user of an administration account, all permissions can be managed from the green Permissions link. In fact, when you are visiting the subaccounts, you can do everything that the user of that subaccount can do, without limitation. This section will cover what extra features are available to help you manage your subaccounts. It is strongly recommended the administration account is only used for administration of the system and additional accounts under the administration account are used for general operation (including adding devices or other users).

2.1 Entering Administration Mode After logging into SynapSense900 as a user of the administration account (using the IP address assigned during installation), an “Administration” link will appear on the main navigation bar.

Clicking this link will take you to the Account Search Screen. You can easily search for accounts by typing part of their Account Number, Company Name, or name of the primary contact assigned to their account.

From this screen, you can:

1. Search for a specific account 2. Update the premier subscription to extend additional permissions to the account users 3. Manage the networks and devices on the account (Manage Link) 4. View the detailed account information and user list (Account Link) 5. View details of the primary contact (Primary Contact Link) 6. Enter Proxy mode to view the account logged in as the primary contact 7. Create new Accounts so you can manage different clients logically 8. Clear any items temporarily cached by the website so you don’t have to wait for the cache to reset on its own.

Other Screens you can see as Administrator are: “Account”, “Reports” and “Settings”. Finally, the “My Network” will return you to your standard view of the administration account.

2.2 Account Network Administration Arrive here from clicking the Manage link from the account search page.

From this page, you can manage their account much the same as you would your own.

A few key features are:

1. View Network: Clicking on the Network Name from the “Sensor Networks” drop down allows you to view the sensors that have been assigned to the different networks.

2.1 You can assign new gateways to their network. 2.2 You can assign new sensors to their network 3. Delete sensors or gateways from their network. 4. View types and firmware version information about sensors and gateways.

2.3 Proxy Mode

Arrive here by clicking one of these icons: While in Proxy Mode, you will see who you are logged in as in the top right corner of the window, as well as a link to take you back to the Admin Mode.

It allows you to see the interface just as they do. You will have the same privileges as the person you are logged in as and will be able to see and edit only the networks they can access.

3. Administrative Reports

3.1 Device Lookup The Device Lookup report will help you identify where a sensor or a gateway belongs and a small snapshot of its status. For instance, if you have a sensor in your inventory but don’t know where it is assigned, by entering the Sensor ID, this report will identify which account and network the sensor is assigned to along with the sensor’s name and the current status/last check in date.

3.2 Subscriptions Expiring The Subscriptions Expiring report will give you a window of which networks are coming up on the end of their subscription periods. The accounts appear on this report two months before the end of their subscription. At one month, the primary account holder will receive an email from the system alerting them to the imminent expiration, again at one week before the subscription expiration date, and finally one notifying them that their subscription has expired. Each account will show up on this report for one month after their subscription has expired.

3.3 New Accounts Allows you to obtain a list of new accounts that have been added within the timeframe specified.

3.4 Gateway Activity Allows you to see the activity of the gateway(s) that are checking in to help monitor the frequency and the amount of data they are delivering. To get data for this, you will need the Network ID.

3.5 User Search Allows you to find users by name, username, email, or phone number and allows for partial matches.

Light 3 (Sensor Data) - Indicates sensor network activity. A green light indicates ready and working; a red light indicates there is a problem. A flashing green light indicates radio traffic from the sensors.

For help troubleshooting Ethernet Gateway lights, read Appendix A of this User Guide.

2. Ethernet Gateway Controls

Using the Control Button

1) A short press will trigger the gateway to immediately send all stored sensor messages

to the online system and download any pending system messages to deliver to the

sensors. The default heartbeat for the Ethernet gateway is 5 minutes. The heartbeat

defines how often the gateway communicates with the server.

2) Press and hold to reset the gateway to factory settings. Factory settings will be

reset to defaults, including the heartbeat setting of 5 minutes on both the gateway

and in the online system. DHCP, server addressing and port are all restored to

default settings. After resetting the gateway, you may reconfigure it to your desired

settings (See Section 7: Advanced Settings and Interfacing with the Panduit

Ethernet Gateway through SynapSense900).

Note: If your gateway powers up with the lights scrolling from left to right, it has entered bootloader mode

accidentally. Make sure the button is free from obstruction and reboot the gateway by removing the power

plug, waiting for 10 seconds then reinserting the power plug.

4.5 Using Your Panduit Wireless Sensors Insert Batteries into Wireless Sensors (once sensor has been configured)

Important: Make sure your sensors are at least 3ft. away from Ethernet Gateway.

Remove sticker covering the sensor’s AA battery compartment and insert two AA batteries as indicated by the battery compartment. The sensor should power on within 10-20 seconds. Once online, your sensor is ready to be deployed. If you wish to change a sensor configuration, change the parameter in the software. The new parameters will be transmitted to the sensor on the next heartbeat. If you need a more immediate response from the sensor, power cycle the sensor by removing, then re-inserting the batteries.

Manual Sensor Reset Process:

1) Push the batteries out of the sensor

2) Change the sensor heartbeat through the online system

3) Re-insert the batteries into the sensors

4.6 Proper Orientation of Wireless Antennas and Sensor Position

To get the best performance out of the SynapSense 900 Wireless Sensors, it is important to note proper antenna orientation and sensor positioning. Antennas should all be oriented in the same direction, pointing vertically out of the sensor. If the sensor is mounted flat on a horizontal surface, you should bend the antenna as close to the sensor housing as possible giving you the most amount of antenna pointing vertical. You should make the antenna wire as straight as possible, avoiding any kinks and curving of the wire.

For optimum signal strength, determine the height at which most of your sensors will be mounted and position the gateway at the same height. The sensor signal strength will reduce if the sensors are positioned higher than the gateway. Also, the distance each sensor needs to be from the gateway and other sensors depends on antenna type.

Correct Antenna Orientation Antennas should all be pointing vertically

Horizontal Orientation Vertical Orientation

Incorrect Antenna Orientation Antennas should not be pointing vertically and horizontally

Horizontal orientation Vertical orientation

Incorrect Sensor Positioning Sensors should not be mounting high with gateways mounted low. Also, avoid positioning sensors or gateways on the floor.

4.7 Sensor and Gateway Distance The strength of the signal between a sensor and a gateway can vary depending on the antenna equipped. Those sensors which can transmit long distances can sometimes have more difficulty up close. The nearer the sensor to the gateway depending on the strength of the signal, the more garbled the signal can be. The analogy we like to use is if you have a bullhorn and you are right next to someone, they will hear you but they may not be able to understand what you are saying because the signal is too loud. If you move away from the person, they will both be able to hear you and be able to understand what you are saying. The following are suggested distances the sensors should be from the gateway and each other.

• Sensors need 5 to 7 feet between them and the gateways for effective close transmission.

Note: This distance is particularly important during initial set up when the sensors are trying to connect with the gateway. The sensor begins actively scanning the moment the batteries are inserted.

4.9 Advanced Settings and Interfacing with the Panduit Ethernet Gateway through SynapSense900

1. Ethernet Gateway Edit Screen

When you log into the online system, the default view shows all of your sensors’ last recorded data.

The name can be edited to whatever you prefer.

The gateway type should NOT be edited, unless you are directed to do so by a Panduit Support Representative. The unit’s MAC Address is viewable here, should you need to access it.

Page 42: SynapSense® 900 MHz Wireless Environmental  · PDF file1.5 Installation System Setup First Login

The heartbeat dictates how often the gateway communicates with the server. This is both for communication passed up to the server from the gateway and the communication passed to the gateway from the server. Exceptions to this interval include Aware messages from sensors.

The Enterprise Server Host address and Communication Port will always be one of Panduit’s servers and ports by default. Should you require that the gateway be pointed to your private servers, the gateway can be configured to do so. Make sure to set the appropriate port as well, if port 3000 will not be used.

To set the Static IP, click the toggle (which is set to Dynamic by default):

The force transmit on Aware box tells the gateway to deliver immediately the messages marked as Aware from the sensors. If this box is unchecked and the setting is saved, then the gateway only dumps the sensor messages it has been collecting on the Heartbeat Interval. This allows for controlled communication when sporadic communication from the gateway is either unacceptable or not ideal.

Appendix B – Troubleshooting the Ethernet Gateway

The process for setting up your Panduit Ethernet Gateway should be as simple as plugging in the Ethernet cable and power plug then watching as the lights flash a little then turn solid green. Sometimes the lights may continue to flash red, indicating that there may be a connection or settings issue. We have compiled this troubleshooting information to help you determine what the issue may be. For any initial Ethernet Gateway issue: Try unplugging the power to the gateway, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in. If that doesn't work, please use a small tool, like a toothpick or paperclip, to press and hold the reset button on the back of the gateway. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds, until you see the LEDs begin to flash. If the Ethernet Gateway 1st LED (on left) stays red or is flashing, potential causes are:

1. There is no internet access available. 2. Port 3000 is blocked. 3. DHCP is not enabled. If it is not enabled, you can configure the gateway to use a

static IP address. 4. DNS cannot be resolved. 5. IP address is invalid. 6. The Ethernet cable is not connected.

a. The Ethernet cable is broken/damaged. b. The Ethernet jack is broken/damaged.

7. There is an issue with the device MAC address. View the Ethernet Gateway configuration documentation for more information on correctly setting the gateway parameters to address these issues. If the Ethernet network that the gateway is plugged into is not allowing the gateway to connect, put the gateway on a different network, i.e. at home, at work, or another network. See if the gateway comes online. If it does, then the original network that was attempted must be blocking the Ethernet gateway. Troubleshooting at that point would have to be done on the network that is blocking the gateway, not the gateway itself. If the Ethernet Gateway 2nd LED (middle) flashes red: The gateway cannot connect to the server. Either:

1. The gateway configuration settings are not correctly configured. Set the gateway back to the defaults by pressing and holding the reset button.

2. There is a firewall blocking the port. 3. The gateway cannot download a sensor list because it is deleted from a network 4. The Ethernet gateway has been able to contact the server and gets a response;

however, the APN is not going from Idle to Active. There may be a problem with the hardware, contact Panduit support at [email protected] or 866-405-6654

If the Ethernet Gateway 3rd LED (on right) is red:

1. Check that there are sensors added to the network.
