1.2 - New System
Enter a System Name under System
Settings and select the quantity for each
station type under IX Support Tool Settings.
1.1 - Create New System
Open IX Support Tool. If the New System
window does not open, select File from the top
menu bar, then Create New System.
1.3 - Creating the System
Once each eld of the New System page is
lled appropriately, click Next .
Step 1: System Settings
Step 2: Station Customization
Support Tool will provide each station a default Station Name, four-digit Number, and IP address starting from 192.168.1.10. To edit this
information, click Station Details in the Advanced Settings section, shown below. To use the default information created by Support
Tool, skip to Step 3.
2.1 - Station Details
Click Station Details to edit the Number,
Name, and IP Address for each station.

Introduction
The IXW-MA and IXW-MAA adaptors have 10 relay outputs that can be triggered by an event on an IX Series station. This guide will
walk through programming a system to include either adaptor, as well as programming the outputs.
Because the IXW-MA and IXW-MAA function the same way, and IX Support Tool considers them both an IXW-MA for programming
purposes, this guide will only refer to the IXW-MA.

Click OK to update the station details that
were edited.
2.3 - Update Station Details
Step 2: Station Customization (continued)
2.2 - Edit Station Details
Edit the Number, Name, IP Address, and
Subnet Mask for each station as needed.
Note: Do not ll in the Hostname.
Programming a New System to Include an IXW-MA
Step 3: Association
The association process will link the information created in Support Tool with a station found on the network. Once associated, the
station will receive its station name and network information once it nishes rebooting.
3.1 - Select
Select the setting le to be associated
from the Station Settings List.
3.2 - Select
Select the scanned station to be
associated with the selected le from
the Station List.
3.3 - Apply
Click Apply to associate the selected
station with the selected le. Repeat
until all stations are associated.

4.3 - Next
Step 4: Setting File Upload
Once each station has been associated with its individual station information, the setting le containing the rest of the system’s
information will need to be uploaded to each station. To upload the setting le, the programming PC will need to be in the same subnet
as the associated stations. The PC’s current IP address is listed in the bottom left-hand side of this window.
The stations will not operate until the setting les have been uploaded.
4.1 - Select
Stations can be selected individually, or by
Type. Choose All from the Select Station
by Type drop down menu to upload to all
stations. Click Select .
After successful upload, click Next .
Once station Status shows Available, click
Start Upload .
The progress of each station
will be displayed in the Status
column. Unavailable stations
may still be rebooting from
the association process. If a
station has rebooted and is
still unavailable, ensure the
programming PC is in the same
subnet as the station.

Adding an IXW-MA to an Already Existing System
Skip this section if the IXW-MA has already been added to the system. The steps below will walk through adding an IXW-MA relay
adaptor to an existing system. The IXW-MA should be connected to the same network as the existing system before proceeding.
Open IX Support Tool and select the existing system to be edited.

Click Tools from the top menu bar
and select System Conguration.
B - Add New Station

Step 5: Export Settings
The nal step in the Programming Wizard is to create a copy of the system’s setting le and export it to a secure location or
external drive.
5.2 - Select Folder
Select location to save the le. Click OK .
5.1 - Export
Click Export .
5.3 - Finish

SIF Settings (Go to Page 8 for IX-BA, IX-DA, and IX-MV Settings)
Step 1: Enabling SIF Functionality for IX Series Stations
The IXW-MA will only recognize the change contact transmission trigger. All other transmission triggers will be ignored by the adaptor.
The transmission trigger is sent from the station receiving the release command to the IXW-MA. The following process outlines the
settings required to send this SIF event by the door station. From the menu on the left, expand Function Settings and select SIF.
1.1 - Enable
Enable SIF
Functionality.
Enter 0100.Enter the IPv4 Address
of the IXW-MA.
Enter 65013 if SSL is Disabled,
Enter 65014 if SSL is Enabled.
Use the Connection drop-
down menu to select Socket.
Note:
These settings will need
to be congured for
each source of the SIF
event, not the IXW-MA.
1.8 - Change Contact
Check the Change contact
box for each station that will
communicate with the IXW-MA.
Click Update to store the
settings and continue to the next
step.
1.9 - Update
Scroll the window to the right until
the Change contact column is
displayed.

Save the SIF le with a .ini extension (.ini must be typed manually) to a location on the PC being used for programming the
IX Series stations. This le must be uploaded to each device associated with the IXW-MA using the instructions that follow.

Step 1: Creating the SIF.ini File
Creating a line of code, in the form of a .ini file, is required to allow an IX Series (IX-DA, IX-BA, IX-MV) station to communicate
to the IXW-MA. The example below is shown using a common text editor (e.g. Notepad), and saving it with a .ini extension.
