INTRODUCTION – User Manual for Networked Electronic Access Control
This document is the User Manual for Networked Electronic Access Control (EAC).
©2017 Chatsworth Products, Inc. All rights reserved.
UL Listed for use in US and Canada.
Legal Information
The information contained in this guide is subject to change without notice. Chatsworth Products, Inc.
(CPI) shall not be liable for technical or editorial errors or omissions contained herein; nor is it liable
for any injury, loss, or incidental or consequential damages resulting from the furnishing,
performance or use of this material and equipment.
Warranty
CPI warrants all CPI-branded hardware products to be free from defects in material and/or
workmanship (CPI’s Standard Limited Warranty) for a period of three (3) years following the date of
purchase (the Original Warranty Period).
The customer must contact CPI in writing or by oral communication confirmed in writing within the
Original Warranty Period to report a product that the customer claims is defective. CPI reserves the
sole and absolute right to determine whether or not the product or any part thereof is defective. In the
event a product (or any part thereof) is determined by CPI to be defective (an Accepted Claim), CPI
will provide a remanufactured or replacement product or part (the Replacement Product) at no cost
to the customer and issue a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number.
Extended Limited Warranty
CPI Extended limited warranties on CPI-Branded Electronic and Non-Electronic hardware products
are available for two additional years beyond the expiration of the Original Warranty Period (3 years).
CPI’s Extended Limited Warranty can be purchased concurrently with, or separately from, the initial
purchase of the product until the expiration of the Original Warranty Period for that product. For
more information on CPI Warranties, visit the website.
Nomenclature
PDU: Power Distribution Unit product
Socket/Receptacle/Outlet: Electrical output port
Secure Array™: Connects up to 32 devices under one IP address. A second
connection provides failover capability, allowing linked devices to stay connected
when one loses functionality.
Primary Role: The role that is assigned to the device that is attached to the network
and serves as the beginning of the Secure Array. This device should have a level of
functionality that is equal to or higher than that of all the remaining devices within the
array. In an array with several devices with the highest level of functionality, the device
with the most outlets among this group should be assigned the Primary Role.
Secondary Role: The role assigned to a device that is 1) linked to the primary device,
or 2) a standalone device.
Alternate Role: The role assigned to the device that is connected to the network to
provide a backup network connection if the Primary Role device loses power. This
device must be equivalent to the Primary device in functionality and number of outlets.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Safety Warnings and Cautions
• DO NOT OPEN THE CHASSIS of the device. There are no user serviceable parts within
the device. Opening or removing covers, receptacle plates, or other access points may
expose you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
• Do not spill any liquids on the chassis.
• Do not insert objects of any kind into the chassis via vent holes or any openings as they
may contact dangerous voltage points, which can be fatal or cause harmful electric shock,
fire or equipment failure.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock
or fire.
Checklist for Networked EAC:
• Connect wires between latch and CAN bus module
• Connect wires between sensors and CAN bus module
• Connect wires between CAN bus and device. Aux 1 should be connected to the rear door’s
CAN module. Aux 2 should be connected to the front door’s CAN module.
• Login to the web GUI using the default login information of “admin/admin”, and navigate to
the “Cabinet Access – Settings” page.
• Select the checkbox for the appropriate lock you wish to enable, and click “Save”
• The lock is powered when you see a continuous blue light on the lock. At this point you
should be able to refresh the web page and see the status update appropriately.
• Program the Card Reader and Key Card ID (Go to Page xx for detailed information).
• Use the web GUI to change cabinet access and logging settings (Cabinet Access and
Logging tabs respectively)
• The light will flash magenta/blue when the latch opens
Additional Software
The Networked EAC can be configured, monitored and controlled using the built-in software as
explained in this manual.
In addition to the software that is built-in to the Networked EAC, there is an upgrade software
program for firmware upgrade:
• Firmware Upgrader software allows you to upgrade firmware over the network for
multiple standalone and linked devices that have firmware version 3.xx.xxx or later. Download
from http://www.chatsworth.com/support-and-downloads/downloads/software/

USING THE BUILT-IN WEB SERVER APPLICATION
Login
All devices are shipped with:
A 1 GB Ethernet connection and built-in Web Server Application Default IP address:
192.168.123.123
Default User name/Password: admin/admin
If#the#IP#address#of#the#device#has#been#altered,#then#the#user#needs#to#reset#the#IP#back#to#the#Default#address#
provided#above.#
You can access the device using the default IP address to change the default IP address to
the appropriate IP address.
• To access the device, connect the Ethernet port to a network switch
• From Web Browser on a computer that is network accessible to the device, type:
http://device IP address. For example, the default would be:
http://192.168.123.123
The Login Screen will display:
Log in using default User name and password: admin, admin and click on Login button or
user name and password if it has been created.
First Login – Set Date and Time
The device has data logging and alarm notification functions that benefit from a time and
date stamp. However, the device does not have an internal clock. So, each time you power
the device, you must manually set the time and date or assign a Time Server to do so
automatically.
To assign a Time Server, click on the Settings tab, Network sub menu. Scroll down
the page to the heading Time Servers.

CPI User Manual for Networked Electronic Access Control (EAC) October 2017 9
Network Settings
Enter the IP Address of the RFC or NTP Time Server.
The device must have network access to the time server. For detailed network setup,
see Settings – Network (page 19).
If you do not utilize a time server, or decide to set the time and date manually, click on
the Administration tab, Advanced sub menu.

CPI User Manual for Networked Electronic Access Control (EAC) October 2017 10
Click on Sync Device time and then Save button to update the clock on the device
using the browser date and time, or manually set the time with the drop boxes.
Note that if you perform a firmware upgrade, the device will reboot and the time
will need to be manually reset, unless you have assigned Time Server to the
device.
The remainder of the manual is ordered according to the tabs on the screen displayed
above, so the next section is Status and the Status sub menus.
If an optional Environmental Probe is attached to the device, temperature and humidity
will be displayed under Sensor Status. You can connect two probes to each device. The
doors and the locks will be displayed under Front Door Status and Rear Door Status.

CPI User Manual for Networked Electronic Access Control (EAC) October 2017 11
Door status:
• Not Configured: Lock is not enabled.
• Closed: Door is closed.
• Opened: Door is opened.
• Tampered Open: Door is opened, and lock is locked or tampered
unlocked or force unlocked. Lock status:
• Not Configured: Lock is not enabled.
• Locked: Lock is locked and handle is in the cradle
• Force Unlocked: Unlock using the GUI
• Tamper Unlocked: Unlock using the key and handle is not in the
cradle.
• Unlocked via Key Card: A registered key card was used to unlock.
• Scroll down.
Status – Alarms
Click on Alarms to view a summary of Alarm messages, if there are any present:
Warning thresholds are indicated by a yellow-colored rectangular alarm status symbol.
Critical thresholds are indicated by a red-colored rectangular alarm status symbol.
The ACK buttons can be used to acknowledge that an alarm is present.
By acknowledging an alarm, the yellow or red status indicator next to the device’s
display will stop blinking and notification for this particular alarm will no longer be sent
out through SNMP. The alarm remains present in the Alarms Status page while the
alarm is active. The ACK feature is recommended when the customer is aware of the
alarm and in the process of resolving it, and does not want to be notified by the device
any longer.
