KT-NCC Installation Manual
Overview
Introduction The KT-NCC Network Communications Controller, redefines the way you can manage access control for
a widely-dispersed environment. In fact, all events from the controllers are stored in the KT-NCC for
additional security, in case of communications failure between the controllers and the server. This
innovative way of bringing the communication closer to the controller eliminates wiring costs, PC
reliability issues, and cuts down the actual distance the information has to travel through the network,
greatly reducing the bandwidth required. The KT-NCC can connect up to seven loops per gateway and
features four relays that can activate in the event of communication loss, power failure, or upon activation
of a tamper switch.
Figure 1: KT-NCC Configurations
Combining the powerful EntraPass Global Edition software to the KT-NCC also allows for a more
effective way of utilizing global security features such as the anti-pass back, alarm systems, guard tours,
dual custody, etc.
The KT-NCC’s main task is to acquire information from all input channels and relay the results back to all
output channels through the controller loops. The KT-NCC communicates with the server through an
Ethernet 10/100 Base-T port and indicates its communication status through a heartbeat LED. The KT-
NCC will report low battery and battery failure events, and can activate relays in instances of battery
power loss or communication failure. For added security, the KT-NCC has an onboard rechargeable
lithium-ion battery that ensures data retention for a minimum of 75 hours, to safeguard any loss of data
due to a complete failure.

Connecting the
Relays
The KT-NCC comes with four onboard relays located below the RS-485 terminals (COM 1 and COM 2).
These relays activate under conditions chosen in EntraPass Global Edition software. By default, on-
board relay #2 is configured to monitor AC power failure. (Configuration is done in the Gateway dialog in
EntraPass.)
For the KT-NCC UL Cabinet only - In order for the KT-NCC to comply with UL 294 section 32.1.5, the
installation technician has the responsibility of installing an AC powered LED outside the KT-NCC cabinet
and connect it to relay # 2 on the KT-NCC PCB. The LED must be visible at all time.

Installing the KT-
3LED-PLATE
For the arm/disarm operation, install the 3-LED plate (Kantech part number KT-3LED-PLATE) according
to UL 1076 standards by following this procedure:
For the KT-400 Section:
1. Connect the LED black wire to GND AUX (which is associated with the green and red LEDs).
2. Connect the LED red wire to NO Relays (which is associated with the red LED).
3. Connect the LED red wire to NC Relays (which is associated with the green LED).
4. From AUX, use the 12-V cable and connect it to C Relays (which are associated with the red and
green LEDs).
For the KT-300 Section:
1. Connect the LED black wire to GND AUX (which is associated with the red and green LEDs).
2. Connect the LED red wire to RL2 (which is associated with the red LED).
3. Connect the LED red wire to RL1 (which is associated with the green LED). To do this, you need to
click the Devices tab and, from the menu Relay, select Reverse from the General tab.
Note: The green LED corresponds to Ready to arm or Prevent arming.
Note: When the red LED is ON, it corresponds to the arm function, and when the red LED is OFF, it
corresponds to the disarm function. The system cannot be armed or disarmed when the
Ready to arm green LED is OFF.
The electrical plate, with 22 AWG wires, made of stainless steel is considered as a standard.
Note: The 3-LED plate must be located near the reader(s) that is(are) designed to arm or disarm the
alarm system. It must be within the secured side of the customer’s premises.
EntraPass

1. From Devices, in the Gateway dialog box, select the Onboard Relays tab, and then select Server
Communication failed from the Onboard relay drop-down menu. Click Save, then Close.
2. From Definition, in the Alarm System dialog box, select the Input tab, and assign the appropriate
inputs in both the Alarm level #1 and Prevent arming fields. To confirm, click OK, Save then Close.
3. From Definition, in the Alarm System dialog box, in the Control relay tab, in the System status -
relay, choose the wanted replay to use in order to enable Ready to Arm. To confirm, click OK.
Close.
Note: For additional software configuration, please refer to EntraPass Global Edition Reference
Manual, DN1316.
Hardware Configuration:
• From the KT-NCC selected relays (C and NO) as defined previously in the EntraPass
configuration, connect a 2-wire cable to the selected input door.
• For the KT-400, use C and Z inputs.
• For the KT-300, use C and the selected input.
Note: The polarity has no importance.

Installing
Additional Sites
You can install four additional sites of eight controllers using a Lantronix LA-UDS1100 for each site, as
shown in the figure below.
Figure 7: Additional Sites Installed with the Lantronix Network Adapter
Note: This type of installation has not been verified by UL.
Installing the
12V/7Ah battery
The cabinet is large enough to accommodate the battery backup supply and the necessary wiring
connections for most applications. The battery sits in the enclosure as shown in Figure 25: on Page 42.
1. Place the KT-BATT-12, 12V/7Ah battery in the cabinet.
2. To connect the board to the battery, connect the battery to the RED and BLACK leads on the KT-
NCC as illustrated in Figure 8: on Page 18 below.
Figure 8: Connecting the Battery
Note: The backup battery will support normal operations for up to 4 hours if the AC supply is removed.
An internal battery verification will cut the battery power if the battery voltage level falls below 9.5
volts.
Installing the AC
Transformer
1. Install the 16.5 VAC, 40 VA, class 2 transformer. KT-NCC unit will not start on battery alone.
Note: That step doesn’t apply to the KT-NCC-EU Cabinet.
2. Power up the KT-NCC.
3. Make sure the KT-NCC is in factory default before you start the configuration. Check the blue
Heartbeat LED located next to the RS-232 connector to determine the status of communication and
other vital parameters. (Refer to Table 7 on Page 43 for details on the heartbeat pulses.)
4. We suggest that you fill-out the detachable KT-NCC Configuration Reference Sheet (on the last page
of this manual) with your configuration information and keep the information close at hands.

KT-NCC Configuration
Pre-
Configuration
Before you register your KT-NCC to EntraPass Global Edition software and start configuring it, you must
verify the following:
• Make sure that you are running version 3.17 or higher of EntraPass Global Edition software.
• Define what type of connection your network architecture requires: LAN or WAN, DHCP or Static IP
address to the EntraPass server.
• Once you have defined the type of connection you will be using, the System Administrator has to
provide you with the proper IP address information.
• We suggest that you fill-out the detachable KT-NCC Configuration Reference Sheet with your
configuration information and keep the information close at hands. The sheet is located on the last
page of this document.
Configuration
Scenarios
Two types of network architectures exist: Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN).
Each of these types of architecture has various possible configurations.
LAN enables users to communicate, exchange data and share resources in an internal network. A local
network can be made up of a server and one or several KT-NCCs connected to the server through a hub
or switch. Whatever the case, an IP address has to be assigned so that the KT-NCCs and the EntraPass
server can communicate. When the EntraPass server is used, a static or DHCP address can be assigned
to establish the communication. When the customer server is used, the DHCP server assigns a dynamic
IP address.
WAN is generally deployed on a long geographic distance and connects two or several local networks.
The wide area network may use public networks to communicate and transmit data between the distant
networks.
In a WAN architecture, IP addresses can be reserved or the server could be left to assign IP addresses
automatically (DHCP).
Here is the definition of the different scenarios and the basic steps you will follow to configure your
system.
DHCP with
Customer
Server IP
Address (LAN)
You will use this type of configuration in an environment where the customer DHCP server will assign IP
addresses automatically for communication with the KT-NCC.
a Perform a hard reset (See instructions on page 23.)
b Connect your KT-NCC to the network (See instructions on page 24.)
c Register your KT-NCC to the EntraPass Global Edition network (See instructions on page 25.)
d Configure gateway parameters (See instructions on page 27.)

20 DN1611-1809
e Check the connection status. (See instructions on page 37.)
Static IP address You will use this type of configuration in an environment where the Network Administrator will determine
the IP addresses for communication between the EntraPass server and the KT-NCC(s). The IP address
can be configured using the KT-NCC Web Configuration Page or the KT-Finder.
a Perform a hard reset. (See instructions on page 23.)
b Connect your KT-NCC to the network. (See instructions on page 24.)
c Register your KT-NCC to the EntraPass Global Edition network (See instructions on page 25.)
d Assign Static IP address using the KT-NCC Web Configuration Page or the KT-Finder, and
configure gateway parameters (See instructions on page 29.)
e Check the connection status. (See instructions on page 37.)
WAN
Configuration
You will use this type of setup in an environment where remote sites are protected with routers and they
communicate with each other through the Internet.
a Initialize the KT-NCC in factory reset mode. (See instructions on page 23.)
b Verify the port forwarding configuration with the Network Administrator.
c Connect the KT-NCC to the network. (See instructions on page 24.)
d Register the KT-NCC to the EntraPass Global Server (See instructions on page 25).
e Enter TCP/IP parameters in the EntraPass Global server and configure gateway parameters
(See instructions on page 34).
