Cómo editores de tarjetas en Nebula

Introducción

Un editor de tarjetas es un dispositivo de hardware utilizado para leer y actualizar llaves físicas, como tarjetas, llaveros y pulseras, con la información de los permisos de acceso. Los usuarios colocan sus llaves en el dispositivo y los datos pasan al sistema a través del editor de tarjetas. Encoders connect to a parent device, such as a gateway, via Bluetooth.

To configure encoders in Salto Nebula and Salto Homelok, you need to use the Salto Nebula app.

Al configurar los editores de tarjetas por primera vez, puedes:

1. Create the encoders in the web application (Homelok or Nebula web) first, then configure them via the app. O…

2. Usar la aplicación para crear y configurar los extenders.

In both cases, an installer, who is aware of the names and locations of the encoders, will go through the Salto installation setting up the physical devices, phone in hand.

For a situation where you're updating firmware or resetting already-configured encoders, see resetting devices or updating firmware.

Editores de tarjetas en Salto Nebula

Modelo	Descripción
NCoder	El NCoder de Salto es compatible con una amplia gama de llaves contactless o sin contacto y está configurado a través de la Salto Nebula app.

Selección de la instalación

Antes de configurar un editor de tarjetas, debes asegurarte de que has seleccionado la instalación correcta. Por ejemplo, tu edificio de oficinas. Puedes ver a qué instalaciones tienes acceso, o seleccionar una si tienes acceso a varias instalaciones, usando el menú superior izquierdo de la aplicación.

Si no tienes acceso para gestionar instalaciones, esta pantalla no está disponible. Consulta roles y permisos de usuario para más información detallada.

Comienzo de la configuración

Ve a la sección Dispositivos de la app.

The app uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to connect to devices, so make sure you have Bluetooth enabled on your phone before starting to configure. You must also ensure you have a working internet connection on your phone. If you're using an Android phone with Android version 6.0 or above, you need to enable and give permissions to location services on your phone, if they're not already enabled. See error handling for more information.

• Antes de empezar con la configuración, asegúrate de que el editor de tarjetas está enchufado. Una vez enchufado se iluminará una luz roja fija.
• Enter the Devices section. The app begins to look for nearby devices.
• For new encoders which have not been configured before, you need to know the Device ID of the encoder you're configuring. You can find the Device ID on a sticker on the box.
• Based on the Device ID, select the device you're configuring from the list, press Configure and hold your phone close to the encoder.
• The app then asks you if the light came on. Una vez que el editor de tarjetas haya establecido conexión con tu teléfono, la luz parpadea en verde tres veces y emite 3 pitidos. If it did, select Yes to continue.

If no devices are found

The Bluetooth scanning process has a timeout of 10 seconds to look for and connect to a device. If the scanning process doesn't find any nearby devices after that period, a "No device found" alert is shown and you can retry the search. If no device is found and the light doesn't come on, try moving your phone closer to the encoder before retrying.

Selección de un editor de tarjetas existente

En la pantalla ¿Qué dispositivo estás configurando? verás una lista de editores de tarjetas pendientes de configuración. Esta opción solo se mostrará cuando haya editores de tarjetas creados previamente.

El menú desplegable muestra una lista de nombres de editores de tarjetas ya creados. A continuación, puedes asignar el dispositivo físico que estás configurando a su correspondiente editor de tarjetas de la lista de nombres. Si no ves el editor de tarjetas en la lista, puedes utilizar la función de búsqueda.

Creación de un nuevo editor de tarjetas

You can create an encoder using the app with the same process you use to configure it. Once the encoder is created and configured, it displays as a device in the web application.

When the app connects to a device in the previous step, you'll see the Or create a new device option. Selecting this will reveal the following fields:

• Name (required)
• Parent device (required)

Use a coherent naming system when setting up encoders so they can be found in the system. For example, "Front desk encoder". No puede haber más de un editor de tarjetas con el mismo nombre en tu instalación.

An encoder must always be connected to a parent device, which must be a gateway. You need to set up parent devices first before configuring their associated encoders. See configuring gateways for more information.

Once you've entered this information select Create to continue the configuration process.

Actualización de firmware

If the app detects that a new firmware version is available while you are configuring an encoder, it automatically downloads the firmware to the encoder during the configuration process. The app displays the message "Updating firmware" in this situation. If no new firmware is available then you won't see this message.

Para más información sobre firmware, consulta la sección sobre cómo actualizar firmware.

Finalización de la configuración

Once the configuration process has completed, you'll see a notification like "Front desk encoder is ready". El dispositivo también emitirá una luz verde intermitente corta acompañada de un pitido. Esto significa que el editor de tarjetas está configurado correctamente y listo para su uso.

If this process fails due to a loss of connection it starts up again. Once the connection starts up again the process continues at the point from which it cut off.

When your encoder is ready you can exit the device configuration process by selecting Done or continue configuring other devices using the Configure another button.

Updating

You need to update encoders when a change has been made within the system which affects the device. The updating process is similar to configuring encoders because the software already knows which ones require an update. These devices display in the Update required column, although you can also select them from the All column.

Encoders are marked with a specific icon in the list of devices

To update an encoder, do the following:

• Navigate to the Devices section. The app begins to look for nearby devices.
• Select the device you want to update from the list and hold your phone close to the encoder.

The app automatically updates the encoder with the information, displaying a notification like "Front desk encoder is ready" once the process has completed.

This process also automatically detects if a firmware update is required.

Asignación de llaves

NCoder status light

The NCoder has a multi-color LED that indicates the status of the device. The signalling is also accompanied by sound beeps which can be disabled if required.
