The following outlines what is required to install VertX EVO controllers.

July 2016 Page 7 of 25
see
VertX EVO V1000 User Guide, 71000-901, Rev. A.4
3Connect
3.1 What you need before getting started
Prior to starting the installation, completely read this guide.
See Section Appendix C: Configuration Checklist - Static, and gather the information before
proceeding with these instructions.
CAUTION: VertX controllers and panels are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharges (ESD).
Observe precautions while handling the circuit board assembly by using proper grounding
straps and handling precautions at all times.
3.2 V1000
1. Verify the battery jumper is installed in the ON position, P10 connector.
2. If installing a V1000 - Verify the RS-485 termination jumper is in the Out position
when there are no panels attached to the port. If there are downstream interface
panels attached, place the termination jumper in the In position. The V1000 is
shipped with jumpers in the Out positions.
Note: P6 controls Port 2 and P5 controls Port 1. This is an issue if one of the jumpers
is in the IN position and the other is in the OUT position.
3.3 Mounting Instructions
1. Always mount the controllers and interface panels in a secure area.
2. Mount using the four mounting screws (provided) or other appropriate fasteners.
Place the fasteners in the corner holes of the base.
3. Stack the VertX EVO devices with or without the cover. Do not remove the plastic
base. Position the VertX EVO devices in such a way as to provide room for wiring, air-
flow and cable runs.
CAUTION: Stacking the VertX EVO devices without the cover in place risks the danger of
breaking the LEDS unless spacers are used for separation.

3.4 Wiring VertX EVO
WARNING: VertX EVO V1000 is a NON-PoE device. DO NOT connect J1 (Ethernet port) to a
PoE capable port. This applies to both direct PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (Endspan
PSE) and PoE injector (Midspan PSE) equipment. Not all PSE's correctly detect Non-PoE-
capable devices, and such PSE's may not function as expected when connected to Non-PoE
equipment. If the only option is to connect the controller to a PoE enabled port, disable
power of the PoE port before connecting.
Note: Carefully peel the attached Warning Label from the bottom of the unit and leave the
label attached to the unit's cover for future reference.
CAUTION: Connectors on the VertX EVO devices are positioned to be mirror images and are
not interchangeable once the installation is complete. Therefore, you cannot unplug a
connector from one side and plug it into the corresponding connector on the other side.
1. Network Connection: Connect the VertX EVO V1000 to the network using
a standard Cat5 network patch cable. Connect one end of the Cat5 network patch
cable to the J1 (RJ-45) connector on the V1000 and the other end to the network
connection point (network jack, hub, switch, or router) on your site.
Note: Two LED lights exist on the RJ-45 connector. The green LED denotes Ethernet
Activity and the yellow LED denotes speed. When the Yellow LED is on, it indicates
100 Mbits per second. Another LED in-board is a Duplex LED, indicating duplex
communications are available.
2. Power and Alarm input connections (All VertX EVO units): Connect power by
providing appropriate DC input to the P7 connector. Appropriate DC input goes to
Pin 1 and ground to Pin 2. Batt Fail, AC Fail, and Tamper switch inputs are wired as
shown in the table. Connect the Bat Fail and AC Fail inputs to battery low/failure and
AC failure contacts provided on the power supply. Connect the Tamper input to a
tamper switch on the enclosure.

3. RS-485 Connections: The V1000 has two RS-485 connectors and uses the 10-pin
connector on P3 and P4. Each RS-485 bus can support a maximum of 16 V100-Series
panels using one or two ports.
Having two ports on each bus provides the option of splitting each RS-485 bus into
two physical connections, allowing a total of four physical connections for the two
busses.
RS-485 busses must be connected in a daisy chain topology and not a star topology.
The V1000 RS-485 termination jumper should be in the Out position if there are no
panels attached to the port. If there are downstream panels attached then the
termination jumper should be in the In position.

CAUTION: The V1000 RS-485 Ports 1 & 2 (P3) are a common bus and therefore
cannot have panels with duplicate Interface Addresses assigned. The same is true
of the V1000 RS-485, Ports 3 & 4 (P4). For example, two panels, both with
Interface Address 0 (factory default), cannot be connected to Ports 1 and/or 2 (P3).
Wire the RS-485 to the In position only of the P9 terminal block for the V100-Series
panel. This is especially important when the RS-485 communication is in a “daisy
chain” configuration. If the RS-485 is wired In and Out, and power is lost, or the P9
terminal block is unplugged on a V100-Series panel, RS-485 communications will be
lost to downstream V100-Series panels.

Page 10 of 25 July 2016
4. Output Connections (VertX EVO V1000): All Output connections are used for
general purpose controls. The following table shows where the various outputs are
located. Pin numbers shown use the convention “NO/C/NC”.
For example, Output 1, V1000: P14 Pin 3 is NO (Normally Open)
Pin 4 is C (Common) and Pin 5 is NC (Normally Closed).
Note: Relays are dry contact rated for 2Amps @ 30VDC.
Output Number
V1000
1 P14 Pins 3/4/5
2
P11 Pins 3/4/5
CAUTION: Some magnetic locks exhibit both high in-rush current when activated
and a high instantaneous break voltage when de-energized due to magnetic field
collapse. Use a snubber circuit across the controlling relay terminals to protect the
controlling relay contacts. Go to support.hidglobal.com, see Solution 891 - How do
I wire a High In-Rush Current locking device to VertX/Edge/Edge Solo?
5. Input Connections: Input connections are analog inputs used for a combination of
specific functions such as Request-to-Exit (REX), Door monitor, etc. They can also be
used as general purpose monitoring. Connect one side of the switch or contact to the
+ (plus) lead and the other to the – (minus) lead. The following table shows where the
inputs are located. Pin numbers shown on the cover use the convention +/–.
The default REX input configuration is normally open (NO) unsupervised (no EOL
resistors).
However, the default Door Switch (DS) configuration is Normally Closed (NC),
unsupervised (no EOL resistors).
All other input points are defaulted for NO switches and are unsupervised (no EOL
resistors).
Any input can be configured as NO or NC, as well as unsupervised or supervised.

VertX EVO V1000 User Guide, 71000-901, Rev. A.4
They can be configured for supervisory resistors of 1K – 6K Ohm. The setup of
supervised inputs should be done during configuration of the VertX EVO devices
through the host.
Example: Input 1, V1000 is: P14 Pin1 is + (plus) and Pin 2 is – (minus).
Except for the door monitor, all other inputs default to NO, unsupervised:

4Contact
Contact the VertX controller through the following methods.
Discovery Client (DHCP or Static TCP/IP Configurations Only)
Virtual Port
4.1 Discovery GUI (for DHCP networks)
The Discovery Client provides a technician with a method of locating all of the VertX
controllers that are connected to a network. Controller information is displayed providing the
ability to ‘blink’ the VertX controller Comm LED and configure the unit by launching a browser
pointed at the Configuration GUI of the targeted controller. When the Discovery Client is
launched, a discover command is issued and the Configuration GUI screen is populated with
the results. Also provided is the ability to refresh the Configuration GUI screen on command.
Use this feature when the VertX controllers and network have been installed and are
operational, but before the VertX controller(s) has been configured. At this point, all of the
controllers on a network will have the same host name and unknown IP addresses (assuming a
DHCP environment). In this scenario, the only mechanism available to configure a controller is
the serial debug port or by only placing one controller on the network at a time. The Discovery
Client provides an easy to use mechanism to configure controllers.
Note: The Controller must be connected to the network before power is applied for DHCP to
function.
1. With the PC connected to the same network as the Controller, double-click
hid-discovery.exe.
2. Select the device from the list.
3. Click the Browser. If the Discovery GUI is not on the PC, download the application
from www.hidglobal.com/downloads/DiscoveryClient.zip.
Note: Java is required for the Discovery GUI.
4. Go to Section 5: Configure.
4.2 Virtual Port
Contact a VertX controller by directly connecting the computer to the controller using an
Ethernet cable. By default, every controller is configured to respond to a fixed address:
169.254.242.121.
1. Ensure you are running a Windows 2000 or XP computer.
1. Disconnect your Windows computer from its hub or network.
2. Connect the Windows computer to the controller with an Ethernet cable.
3 Select the Windows Start > Run.
4. Enter ipconfig /renew. Wait for DHCP to timeout (approximately 60 sec.). The
computer will acquire a 169.254.x.x address.
5. Access a web browser and enter 169.254.242.121 into the Address field. The
controller is now accessible through this Virtual Port.

VertX EVO V1000 User Guide, 71000-901, Rev. A.4
5Configure
This section describes the communications configuration that enables the controller to
communicate with the host software.
There are two methods of communication possible on a V1000 controller:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) TCP/IP Addressing
Static TCP/IP Addressing. See Section Appendix C: Configuration Checklist - Static for a
list of criteria needed for a Static TCP/IP configuration.
Enter only the configuration that relates to your sites specific installation.
5.1 VertX Communications

6Communicate
Now that the controller is connected, contacted and configured, communicate with the
controller using the host.
Basic setup is now complete!
Additional troubleshooting tools are available on the System Status and Supplemental
Configuration windows. See Section A.1.System Status and Section A.2 Supplemental
Configuration.

VertX EVO V1000 User Guide, 71000-901, Rev. A.4
Page 16 of 25 July 2016
Appendix: A Troubleshooting
A.1 System Status
System Status provides a technician with a method of validating the VertX installation, field
wiring and installed devices. Perform the System Status at any time after the VertX controller
has been installed and power is available. In addition, a technician may perform a system
status as many times as necessary.
Upon startup, the System Status window will discover all connected and powered V100-
Series devices attached to the controller and displays the inputs, outputs, and host status.
Reference the Legend to determine the meaning of the different images.
By clicking Add Unconfigured you can configure the V1000 for the attached panels and
readers. The assumption is that two readers are attached to any V100 interface panel and
that both readers are Wiegand card only. Once the configuration is complete, the VertX
software will refresh.
Once the window refreshes, a Restore Previous button becomes available.
The Restore Previous button enables the technician to use the previously saved
configuration.
A.2 Supplemental Configuration
Supplemental Configuration provides the ability to view and configure system inputs and
outputs.
These buttons provide navigation to the following functionality:
Configure - configure inputs, outputs and door characteristics for a V1000, V100,
V200, and V300.
System Time - update System Time
Update System – updates the interface board’s firmware
A.3 Configure
Configure provides the ability to view and modify system inputs and outputs and door
characteristics.
Upon successful validation, the Save button will write modified values to the interface panel.

July 2016 Page 17 of 25
see
VertX EVO V1000 User Guide, 71000-901, Rev. A.4
A.4 System Time
System Time provides the ability to view and set the date, time, and time zone values on the
controller.
Upon initialization, Date, Time, Time Zone and TZ fields will be populated with the current
system settings. The date displayed (non-text box) will be updated approximately every 30
seconds.
The Time Zone field provides a drop-down menu. One of the options in the Time Zone drop-
down menu is Custom Time Zone. If Custom Time Zone is selected, the TZ text box will be
enabled. Otherwise, the TZ is associated with the Time Zone field.
A.5 Update System
Update System allows the user to update the firmware on the interface panel. During a
download the interface panel image flashes between grey and yellow. When a download
completes the image color changes to green for successful or red for failure. If the download
fails, view a tool tip with the error status code by hovering your mouse over the image in
question.
Initially, all of the interface panels are selected by default to be updated.
Note: Depending on the VertX controller and system, it may take several minutes to
complete a download.
A.6 Battery Replacement
Do not replace the battery while power is applied to the VertX EVO Controllers.
Remove the cover.
Insert the battery (with the + (positive) side facing upwards) under the prongs, lowering the
opposite side into place. Reinstall the cover.
To remove the battery, remove cover, lift the side opposite from the prongs first and slide
the battery out of place away from the prongs. Reinstall the cover.

VertX EVO V1000 User Guide, 71000-901, Rev. A.4
Page 18 of 25 July 2016
A.7 Network Defaults Jumper
The Network Defaults Jumper requires that someone with physical access to the V1000,
place a jumper over the Debug port while the controller is rebooting, as detailed below. The
controller reconfigures its network settings to the factory defaults when the jumper is on the
Debug port during a reboot. From this point, configuration (or re-configuration) proceeds
normally.
Use the Network Defaults Jumper to correct potential errors in a VertX controller’s network
configuration.
A jumper is supplied with the V1000, and is located across pins 6 & 8 of the Debug port for
safe storage. Replace the jumper across pins 6 and 8 for safe storage, after restoring
network defaults.
1. Remove the V1000 cover.
2. Reboot the controller and place the supplied jumper over pins 3 & 5 of the Debug
port while the Power LED is green.
Note: The network reset opportunity occurs for 30 seconds while rebooting the
controller.
3. After 30 seconds, the Power LED flashes green five times, indicating success. When
an error occurs, the LED flashes red five times. In both instances, the LED turns off
indicating a power cycle is required.
4. Remove the jumper, return it to pins 6 & 8 of the Debug port and cycle power. The
controller resets in approximately 60-seconds. Once the reset is complete, the LED
returns to green. After the 30-second window, the LED returns to normal Red state.
The controller is fully functional during this time.
CAUTION: During the controller rebooting process, all network configuration
information is overwritten and returned to the original defaults.
5. Configure the controller for your installation parameters. See Section 5.1: VertX
Communications.
6. Replace the V1000 cover.

July 2016 Page 19 of 25
see
VertX EVO V1000 User Guide, 71000-901, Rev. A.4
A.8 Firewall
If the VertX controller is being installed where it communicates through a firewall, then the
firewall may need to be configured to allow TCP data transfer on the specified port(s).
1. Before starting, ensure that any pop-up blocker software is disabled on the
computer.
2. Open the following ports on the firewall.
connection_port (4070) TCP outbound. This port must be open on the Host
computer.
listen_port (4050) TCP incoming. This port must be open when using selected
applications.
If you are not familiar with configuring a firewall for a network, contact the Network/IT
administrator or manager.
CAUTION: If the firewall is not configured properly the controller may not communicate
with the host.
