Controllers

Controllers, also known as control units or CUs, are mains-wired hardware devices that can be used to control access where a standalone lock cannot be fitted. For example, on lockers, car park barriers, turnstiles or sliding doors. They allow the management of multiple accesses from a single device. For example, one single controller could control access to both the entrance and exit of a building via a turnstile.

You can add the following controllers:

• GAT Net controllers
• IoT controller (Ruckus)

Gateways

Gateways are hardware devices that provide a link between networks that use different base protocols. You can add two types of gateways to the system by using the Salto Network screen:

• CU4200 gateways
• RFnet/BLUEnet gateways

CU4200 gateways

CU4200 gateways are CUs that are connected to a local area network (LAN) using a network cable. They connect to the Salto network using a TCP/IP connection. CU4200 gateways can control CU4200 nodes. See CU4200 nodes section below for more information about CU4200 nodes.

The CU4200 gateways provide a link between the CU4200 nodes and the Salto system, and transmit data to the nodes. This means the CU4200 nodes do not require a TCP/IP connection. You must physically connect CU4200 nodes to a CU4200 gateway using an RS485 cable. This establishes communication between the CU4200 nodes and the CU4200 gateway. You must also link CU4200 gateways and CU4200 nodes in Space so the system can show which nodes and gateways are connected.

CU4200 gateways control access to doors by activating their relays. Each CU4200 gateway can control a maximum of two doors. They can also update user keys.

The CU4200 supports up to 4 auxiliary CU4200 nodes, meaning this that up to 10 online doors can be controlled using a single IP address (1 CU4200 gateways + 4 CU4200 nodes).

In standalone mode, DIP switches on the CU4200 node units must be set up to 0000, if online, each node should have its own configured address, using the suitable DIP switch combination in binary format.

See the Installation guide CU42E0 Controller for further information about how to install CU4200 gateways.

See the image below for an example. CU4200 gateway and node example

7. Type the MAC address in the MAC address field. The MAC address is displayed on a sticker on the CU.

8. Select either the Network name (DHCP) or IP address radio button. If you select the Network name (DHCP) option, this automatically assigns an IP address to the CU4200 gateway. A DHCP server and a DNS are required for this option. If you select the IP address option, you must type an IP address in the field.

9. Select Use 485 bus for third party integration when CerPass/Hitachi/OSDP protocol is required to be used with integration with the corresponding third party controller driving RS485 bus. These options imply the use of RS485 bus to integrate with the third party controller, so it is not possible to add additional CU4200 online nodes in this mode. We can define which readers are sending the received information by CerPass/Hitachi/OSDP. This means a reader can be installed that's not related to a third party integration.

RFnet/BLUEnet gateways

RFnet/BLUEnet gateways allow data to be transmitted back and forth between the system and the Salto wireless locks. RFnet/BLUEnet gateways can be connected to RFnet and BLUEnet nodes. See also the section on RFnet/BLUEnet nodes for more information.

Depending on the lock type, Space manages two different wireless technologies: RFnet and BLUEnet. The Ethernet behavior of the gateway is the same for these two technologies. That's why the gateway setting is the same. What changes is just the internal node (antenna) of the gateway: the antenna could be RFnet or BLUEnet, depending on the type of wireless locks.

You must physically connect RFnet/BLUEnet nodes to a gateway using an RS485 cable to establish communication between the external nodes and the gateway.

You must also connect nodes and gateways in Space so the system can show which nodes and gateways are connected.

To add an RFnet/BLUEnet gateway, do the following:

1. Select System > Salto Network. The Salto Network screen is displayed.

2. Click Add. The Add network device dialog box is displayed.

11. Click Back to Salto Network to return to the Salto Network screen.

The Start Diagnosis option allows to analyze the quality of the wireless communications between a specific RFnet/BLUEnet gateway (and its nodes) and the locks connected to it. The gateway must have an updated firmware version. Contact your Salto technical support team for more detailed information about this. By selecting this option, you can also generate logs for each gateway section. The logs will be generated as .txt files in the Salto Space logs folder.

Take into account that during this test, the locks under the specific gateway won't be online. Depending on the number of locks, this test can take from 5 minutes to 1 hour and a half. You can stop this test by restarting the Space service. This diagnosis test can be made at the beginning of a wireless system configuration to check the quality or if there is any wireless communication issue in a wireless RFnet or BLUEnet system.

Nodes

Nodes are network connection points that are physically connected to a gateway using an RS485 cable, which establishes communication between the RF nodes and the RF gateways. The nodes available in the Space system are the following:

• CU4200 nodes
• CU4EB8 nodes
• RFnet/BLUEnet nodes
• UBOX-4000 embedded nodes
• IoT nodes (Ruckus)

CU4200 nodes

CU4200 nodes are network connection points that are physically connected to a CU4200 gateway using an RS485 cable, which establishes communication between the CU4200 nodes and the CU4200 gateway.

The CU4200 nodes receive data from the CU4200 gateway so they do not require a TCP/IP connection. Instead, they communicate with the Salto network through the CU4200 gateway to which they are connected.

You must connect CU4200 nodes to CU4200 gateways in Space. You must also connect CU4200 nodes to access points. This means that the system can show which items are connected. Each CU4200 node can control a maximum of two doors.

UBOX-4000 updaters

UBOX-4000 updaters are CUs that are connected to a local area network (LAN) using a network cable. They connect to the Salto network using a TCP/IP connection. UBOX-4000 updaters functionalities are mainly related to updating tasks and third party integrations. This device also supports an embedded node.

The UBOX-4000 updaters provide a link between the third party unit and Space, and transmit data to the third party unit. This means the third party unit does not require a TCP/IP connection. You must physically connect the third party unit to a UBOX-4000 updater using an RS485 cable, which establishes communication between them.

To add a UBOX-4000 updater, do the following:

1. Select System > Salto Network. The Salto Network screen is displayed.

2. Click Add. The Add network device dialog box is displayed.

3. Select UBOX-4000 updater from the drop-down list.

4. Click OK. The UBOX-4000 updater information screen is displayed.

A DHCP server and a DNS are required for this option. If you select the IP address option, you must type an IP address in the field.

9. Select Use 485 bus for third party integration when CerPass/OSDP protocol is required to be used with integration with the corresponding third party unit driving RS485 bus. We can define which readers are sending the received information by CerPass/OSDP. This means a reader can be installed that's not related to a third party integration.
