Overview

This document describes the physical process of installing a FasCard system.  Including install of FasCard readers and Satellite Access Points.

Assumptions

This document assumes the following...

  • The user is proficient in the use of basic hand and power tools.
  • The user has a basic understanding of the host machines being modified.
  • The user understands that CCI takes no responsibility to any damage that may occur to equipment during installation procedure.
  • The user has full access to equipment and facilities where FasCard equipment is to be installed.
  • The install location has a full time internet connection with a router or modem with enough available Ethernet ports to service the number of SAP's being installed
  • The install location as a 120vac outlet for every SAP being installed within 15 feet of the internet connection.
  • The user has already completed the FasCard Configuration Procedure.

Description

  1. Check packing slips and confirm that all equipment ordered has been received.
    1. If any items are missing or incorrect contact your reseller.
  2. Survey facility for SAPinstallation
    1. The SAP should be located in the center of the area in which the FasCard readers are to be located.  The wireless range of the devices is approximately 90 feet, properly placing a SAP can cover 180 foot diameter area.
    2. The SAP can be either ceiling mounted or wall mounted using the included mounting tabs.
    3. The SAP comes with a 100' Cat5 Ethernet cable, this cable will connect the SAP to the locations internet connection.  Confirm that 100' will be sufficient to reach the mounting site to the internet connection.  If installing SAP with a wireless internet connection see Wireless SAP Configuration for further instruction.
    4. The path in which the Cat5 cable is to be run should be free of hazards that may sever or damage the cable, avoiding high frequency devices such as lighting ballasts, microwaves, cordless phones or neon lighting is also recommended
    5. If installing multiple SAP's, when possible choose mounting sites where all SAP's are in range of all FasCard readers.  This will provide redundancy to the readers in the event that an SAP goes offline.
  3. Mount the SAP
    1. Using the mounting tabs mount the SAP to a secure surface.
  4. Connect the Cat5 cable to the Eth1/P0E port on the SAP.
  5. Run the Cat5 cable from the SAP mounting site to the locations internet connection.
    1. Use cable ties to secure cabling to solid structures along cable pathway.
  6. Plug the PoE injector into the 120vac outlet.
  7. Connect the provided 15' Cat5 cable to the Internet connection and the other end into the "Input" port of the PoE injector.
  8. Connect the 100' home run from the SAP into the "Output" port of the PoE.
    1. The SAP will boot up and try and establish connection to the Internet and the FasCard servers, this takes about 2 minutes.
  9. Install the FasCard readers on to the host equipment
    1. User the appropriate installation guide for the type of equipment you are installing.
  10. Address the FasCard Reader
    1. See How to program address on FasCard Reader
  11. Test the machine
