Basic features
Basic features
The HWg-SH4 control unit contains two independent channels (modules) for door control
Each channel contains:
• 3 binary inputs (door contact, exit button, lock contact, etc.)
• 1 output relay switch (max. 50V/1A)
The SH4 unit can connect additional HWg-SH4e and HWg-SH4s units (max.16 units):
• HWg-SH4e units contain two independent channels (modules) for door control
• HWg-SH4s units contain one channel (module) for door control
• HWg-SH4s and HWg-SH4e units can be combined in one system
• Max. number of door channels (modules) controlled by one HWg-SH4 device is 34,
including two HWg-SH4 channels
Online / Offline mode
• Offline mode uses only the internal database of RFID tags
• RFID tags database can be managed through a built in web interface in offline mode
• Internal database allows its administrators to manage 2000 user RFID tags
Online mode uses central management server application HWg-DCD
• RFID tags database is stored simultaneously in the central management application
and in HWg-SH4 for use in case the connectivity is lost
Supports connecting two independent RFID readers (with or without keypad)
• Support of RFID readers with Wiegand or RS-232 interface
• An option to control LED or buzzers in the reader
• Door to be opened can be selected on the keypad
SNMP for remote supervising in monitoring centers supports sending of SNMP traps in case
of any action (door opening, unlocking, card read)
12V power supply input
HWg-SH4 can be installed to 19“ racks into its individual 1U holder or to a compound holder,
together with other HW group devices

• RFID1, RFID2 – RJ-45 socket for connecting an RFID reader with Wiegand or RS-232 interface
• Relay – signalisation relay output - max. 50V/1A. Requires a special firmware version
and the functionality depends on this custom FW release. Normally not in use
• Set – two control switches:

Rear panel connectors
• Lock1, Lock2 – sockets for connecting door modules. Each module consists of one switch
relay (max. 50V/1A) for a lock and three pairs of binary inputs with fixed functions
(door contact, exit button, lock contact, etc.)
• Power Out – An output for permanent power
supply of connected locks. Connected with
a Power input.

First steps
Connecting the cables
• Note down the MAC address of the device, printed on a sticker on the side of the device
• Check the DIP switches, eventually turn both switches off (DIP1=Off, DIP2=Off)
• Connect HWg-SH4 into the Ethernet network (with direct cable to a switches
with crossed to PCs) - RJ-45 socket
• Plug the power adapter and connect it to a connector on the device
• Green POWER LED will light up
• If the connection to Ethernet network is working, LINK LED will light up (orange light on RJ45
connector) and it then flashes during the data transmittions (Activity signalisation)
Setting an IP address - HWg-Config
HWg-Config application is located in the main folder on the attached CD (in versions for both
Windows and Linux).
This software can be also downloaded from www.HW-group.com Software -> HWg-Config.
• Start HWg-Config by clicking on its icon – software will automatically search for connected devices
Automatic search works only in a local network.
• HWg-SH4 can be identified by its MAC address (printed on the side of the device)

• Clicking on a MAC address of the device opens a window for setting up its basic network
parameters.
Setting network parameters of the device:
• IP address / HTTP port (in default 80)
• Mask of the network
• Gateway IP address for the local network
• Device name (You can choose the name)
Save the settings with Apply Changes button
To set the IP address you can also use:
• UDP Config for Linux
WWW interface
WWW interface of the device can be opened by one of the following steps:
• Open the device’s IP address in a web browser
• Click the IP address in HWg-Config application

Mode selection
For testing of HWg-SH4 in offline mode you can keep the unit in the default settings, only with
connected RFID reader.
Offline mode
Offline mode enables users to start using the access system HWg-SH4 immediatelly. Users
can be added, edited or removed manually on the User DB tab. This way of use is preferred to
be used only for managing a single HWg-SH4 unit with a small number of users.
Advantage of this mode is that administrators of the system can immediately react and open
doors or manage users.
Central user management with more doors and online user database backup are not availa-
ble in this mode. A manual authorization with a master tag is required for assigning available
RFID tags.
Online mode
A mode in which the access system is used together with HWg-DCD for managing users
and doors. All users are managed through the HWg-DCD application (can be run on any PC,
in case the DCD server is available on the Internet/Ethernet network). The access rights are
afterwards copied to HWg-SH4 devices.
Main advantage of this mode is its ability to manage large networks with many users, HWg-
SH4 units and subordinated units HWg-SH4e and HWg-SH4s. Online mode also allows admin-
istrators to work with unknown tags, that can be loaded into the system and assigned, after
the user is authorized.
Online mode requires a central server and the HWg-DCD application. However this server
does not have to be constantly online, in case a permanent survelience is required.
Usage options
Control without door codes (without the keyboard)
One standard RFID reader is connected to HWg-SH4 in basic configuration. After reading a tag
with access rights for door opening, the device unlocks the door. One RFID tag can be allowed
to open front, back or both doors connected to the unit.
Control with door codes (with the keyboard)
In this mode you need to connect the RFID keypad reader to the HWg-SH4. Each door has its
own numeric code which has to be entered and then confirmed by an RFID tag in order to un-
lock the door. HWg-SH4 then evaluates the code and the tag and opens each door associated
to this code and also each door with no code assigned.
