Introduction
The MAP1 is factory set to DHCP mode when shipped and is recommended to leave it in
DHCP mode. First Access software will automatically find all connected controllers in the
local network. The MAP1 controller can optionally be set to a static IP address. Cansec
provides a software utility called MAP1 IP Configuration Tool which scans the network
for any connected MAP1 controllers and provides the option to change the IP addresses of
the MAP1 controllers. The utility is downloadable from cansec.com/downloads.
If there is no DHCP server present on the network, the MAP1 IP Configuration Tool is
not applicable. However, the USB IP Configuration Tool can be used to configure the IP
addresses of the MAP1 controllers.
Note: The static IP address should be a valid address obtained from the IT department.
PC Requirements
All 32 and 64 bit versions of the following Windows Operating Systems: Windows 7®,
Windows 8®, Windows 10®, Windows 2008®, Windows 2012®and Windows 2016®
See Microsoft’s web site for CPU, RAM and disk space requirements for the
aforementioned operating systems
Network adapter –If using MAP1 IP Configuration Tool
A computer USB port –If using USB IP Configuration Tool
A USB flash drive, formatted as FAT32 (most flash drives are formatted as FAT32) –If
using USB IP Configuration Tool
A text editor –If using USB IP Configuration Tool

MAP1 Front View
Software IP Configuration Tool
Note: The new controller is factory set to acquire an IP address automatically (DHCP mode
enabled) and is highly recommended. If the IP address of the MAP1 controller needs to be
set or reset to factory default, follow instructions below.
1. Power on and plug the MAP1 controller to the network with a DHCP server
available.
2. Install and launch MAP1 IP Configuration Tool from your computer. This tool is
available from the First Access Express software installation package, but also
available as its own separate installation package which can be downloaded from
www.cansec.com/downloads.

3. In most cases, the IP Configuration Tool will detect and display the default IP
address range ready to be scanned. However, the IP address range can be manually
modified accordingly.
4. Click Scan to scan the network for all possible connected MAP1 controllers.

5. Double click on one of the detected controllers or select it and click Configure. For
static IP address setting unselect Enable DHCP and consult with IT personnel
before entering the IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP Address and Port numbers.
Select Enable DHCP if static IP address is not required.
Note: The optional Trusted Host IP can be entered to instruct the controller to accept data
connection (server port 5000) only from the host computer having the First Access
Express software installed. Other connections for diagnosing and updating are not
limited by this Trusted Host IP and can be connected from any host. If you have an old
firmware, please contact Cansec support.
6. The factory default or current password for a new un-configured MAP1 controller is
Cansec. The password must be changed to something else other than Cansec.
7. Click Save. The controller saves the new settings and reboots for the settings to take
effect.

USB IP Configuration Tool
Important: Shutdown Push Button (PB1) must be used to avoid data corruption on the MAP1
controller.
1. If the MAP1 controller is powered on, press and hold the PB1 button, using a small
screw driver or a paper clip, for a period of 5 to 8 seconds and proceed to step 2.
Otherwise, proceed to step 4.
2. When the PLM LED on the front of the MAP1 controller begins a rapid flash, release
the Shutdown PB1 button.
3. Wait until the MAP1 does a complete shutdown, indicated by all MAP1 LEDs going to
the OFF state (except the Power LED) then unplug the power connector.
4. Insert a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive into an available USB connector on the
MAP1 controller.

5. Insert the power connector into the MAP1 controller. The unit will begin the power up
sequence which takes about 30 to 40 seconds. When complete, the MAP1 controller
will beep indicating its mode e.g. First Access, Webster or CloudACS.
6. Remove the USB flash drive from the MAP1 controller.
7. Insert the flash drive into a USB port on a computer. When ready, launch Windows
Explorer or File Explorer. Access the USB drive and edit the file named MAPCFG.txt
created by the MAP1 controller during boot-up sequence. If the file
is not present, repeat from step 1. Otherwise proceed to step 8.
8. A similar file will be
displayed when
opened in Notepad.

< USB INIT DONE >
< USB INIT DONE >
Please remove this line after this file
has been correctly modified. The
MAP1 controller reads parameters in
this file during boot up sequence and
configures the IP address accordingly
after which it will write <USB INIT
DONE> to indicate that the
initialization has been done.
9. Obtain all IP address information from IT personnel and modify the file accordingly.
Remove the line <USB INIT DONE> and save the file before removing it from your
computer.
10. Repeat from step 1 to step 6 then proceed to step 11.
11. Insert the flash drive into a USB port on a computer. When ready, launch Windows
Explorer or File Explorer. Access the USB drive and check if there is an error file
present along with the file
12. If no error file is present skip this step and proceed to step 13. Otherwise edit the error
file and review the errors indicated. Correct the errors in the MAPCFG.txt accordingly
and save it before removing it from the computer. Repeat step 1 to 6 then proceed to
step 11. See sample error file below.

13. If no error file is present, it is recommended that the file MAPCFG.txt
be reviewed to ensure that the line <USB INIT DONE> has been
written by the MAP1 controller indicating that the IP configuration has been
successfully saved and initialized.
14. A file named SysInf.txt is also present. This file contains critical information if
debugging is required. If this file is not present it is recommended that the controller be
updated with the latest firmware.

IP Reset
Note: Optional method to reset IP address of MAP controller to factory default.
1. If the MAP1 controller is powered on, proceed to step 2. Otherwise, insert the
power connector into the MAP1 controller. The unit will begin the power up
sequence which takes about 30 to 40 seconds. When complete, the MAP1 controller
will beep indicating its mode e.g. First Access, Webster or CloudACS.
2. Press and hold the IP reset button (PB2) until the MAP1 controller sounds with a
continuous beep. Release the IP reset button and the MAP1 will re-boot. During
reboot the MAP1 controller resets itself to obtain an IP address automatically
(DHCP mode enabled) and erases any previous static IP address settings. Default
password will also be reset to Cansec.
Note: If a USB drive is present during reboot, the MAP1 controller will look for the file
named MAPCFG.txt and extracts IP settings parameters to configure its IP address
information accordingly. If the file is not present, the MAP1 controller will create a
template file named MAPCFG.txt with factory default parameters. If no USB drive is
present the MAP1 controller will continue with its reboot sequence.
