NET™ License Manager and Gateway Configuration

Application Note
Doors.NET installation and controller configuration is a three step process. Each of these steps has its own document,
with controller configuration broken into separate documents per hardware type.

• software installation – DoorsNET_Software_Installation.pdf (p/n 01565-001)

• license manager and gateway configuration – License_Manager_and_Gateway_Configuration.pdf
(p/n: 01565-002 – this document)
• controller configuration
- Basic_PXL_Configuration_In_DoorsNET.pdf (p/n: 01238-001)
- Basic_NXT_Configuration_In_DoorsNET.pdf (p/n: 01238-002)
- Basic_Mercury-Powered_NXT_Configuration_In_DoorsNET.pdf (p/n: 01238-003)
- Basic_EG_Configuration_In_DoorsNET.pdf (p/n: 01277-001)

This document describes the standard process for licensing the software to match your hardware and features, then
configuring the gateway for hardware communication. It assumes the Doors.NET software is already installed on your
host PC.

1.0 Get The License Key

A license key is required to enable the software. You can get a license key in three ways, depending upon your hardware
type:

1. Use the license number on the case of the DVD.

This option is ONLY valid for new NXT controller installations.
2. Use the online licensing page. (http://license.kerisys.com/)
This option is valid for installations of new NXT, PXL, Entraguard, and Mercury Powered NXT controllers.
3. Call Keri Inside Sales.
This option is valid for any type of installation.

If you have one of these installation types you MUST call Inside Sales for a license:

• You are using legacy PXL/EG controllers (described below).

• You are using multiple hardware gateways.
• You are installing optional, licensed features.

1.1 Creating a License Key Online

You now have the ability to create your own standard Keri license key using the License Key page on the
www.kerisys.com website. After entering system information the license key will be e-mailed to the installer.
You can create a license for the following controller types:

• NXT
• Mercury Powered NXT
• PXL-500/Entraguard

The License Key page cannot accommodate non-standard licensing such as legacy PXL-500 and legacy Entraguard
hardware (typically upgrades from Doors32). It also cannot generate Doors Professional Edition licenses, multiple
hardware license types, or optional software modules.

Please contact Keri Inside Sales to obtain these types of licenses:

• United States: 001 408 435 8400 (option 1)

• United Kingdom: (01763) 273243 (option 2)

7. A new license key will be created and it will appear on the screen.

8. Click the Finish button and a copy of the license will also be e-mailed to the installer e-mail address.

1.2 Demo Mode

Doors.NET has a demo mode feature that allows you 30 days of limited, basic operation. This can give you an opportunity
to try the software before obtaining a license. However, demo mode only supports NXT controllers; it does not support
PXL, Entraguard, or Mercury Powered NXT controllers.

2.0 PXL Legacy Versus Standard Controllers

If you have PXL Legacy controllers you are required to call Keri Inside Sales for a PXL Legacy license key. You will
need to provide the number of Legacy PXL controllers you want to license.

2.1 Identifying Legacy versus Standard PXL Controllers

The PXL controller’s model number label identifies if the controller is Standard or Legacy (refer to the figure below).
Standard controllers work directly with Doors.NET using a standard license. There is no controller limit when using
Standard controllers.

Standard PXL Label Legacy PXL Label

PXL-500 P - X E/NE PXL-500 P - 1 E/NE

P/N: xxxxx-xxx P/N: xxxxx-xxx
S/N: xxxxxxxx S/N: xxxxxxxx

PXL-500 W - X E/NE PXL-500 W - 1 E/NE

P/N: xxxxx-xxx P/N: xxxxx-xxx
S/N: xxxxxxxx S/N: xxxxxxxx

Firmware v8.6.04 or Greater Firmware v8.5.22 or Earlier

PCB p/n: 054xx-xxx PCB p/n: 053xx-xxx

2.2 Legacy PXL Controllers

Legacy controllers require a PXL Legacy Count to be set on the license key to enable the controllers to work with
Doors.NET. By default this value is set to zero. Typically Legacy controllers are carrying over from an existing Doors32
installation that is being upgraded to Doors.NET. There is a per-controller fee for licensing Legacy controllers.

Legacy PXL controllers must be at firmware v8.4.49 or greater. This firmware revision is the earliest to implement the
current U.S. Daylight Standard Time dates and has the PXL’s complete anti-passback implementation. A CU500 firmware
upgrade is available for all PXL controllers to bring them up to the current firmware revision.

3.0 Entraguard Legacy Versus Standard Controllers

If you have Entraguard Legacy controllers you are required to call Keri Inside Sales for an Entraguard Legacy license key.
You will need to provide the number of Legacy PXL controllers you want to license.

3.1 Identifying Legacy versus Standard Entraguard Controllers

Entraguard units with this level of firmware or greater are Standard Entraguard units and are not subject to licensing fees:

• Titanium and Silver - v7.8.01

• Platinum - v9.2.01

Entraguard units with these firmware revisions require Legacy licensing:

• Titanium and Silver - v7.6.09 (minimum revision allowed), v7.6.13

• Platinum - v9.1.09 (minimum revision allowed)

3.2 Legacy Entraguard Controllers
Legacy controllers require an Entraguard Legacy Count to be set on the license key to enable the controllers to work with
Doors.NET. By default this value is set to zero. Typically Legacy controllers are carrying over from an existing Doors32
installation that is being upgraded to Doors.NET. There is a per-controller fee for licensing Legacy controllers.

4.0 Run the License Manager

Following installation of the software the system will need to be activated. Activation is performed using the License
Manager Utility and is most easily done using an active, unrestricted Internet connection.

The License Manager registers and activates your software and validates any applicable features or controller values,
allowing system use. Please have your license key ready before beginning this section.

1. Once the software has successfully installed you will be prompted to run the License Manager.

5. The next screen you see is where you enter your license key. There are several ways you can retrieve a license key if
you do not have one, depending upon your hardware and installation type:

• Use the license number on the case of the DVD.

- This option is ONLY valid for new NXT controller installations.
- Not all DVD cases will have a license number.
• Use the online licensing page. (http://license.kerisys.com/)
- This option is valid for installations of new NXT, PXL, Entraguard, and Mercury Powered NXT controllers.
• Call Keri Inside Sales.
- This option is valid for any type of installation.
• If you have one of these installation types you MUST call Inside Sales for a license:
- You are using legacy PXL/EG controllers (described below).
- You are using multiple hardware gateways.
- You are installing optional, licensed features.

6. If you do not have a license key you can create a new key as long as you have an active, non-restricted internet
connection. Select 'I do not have a license key. I would like a free standard license from the Keri website.’ Refer to
Section 2.1, below, for instructions.
7. Enter your key then click Next.

NOTE: Once you have your license key you can then copy and paste the key into the fields shown below. Put the cursor
into the first text field, then paste.

5.0 Gateway Configuration

Effective from version 3.5.1.21 the hardware communications gateway is setup via the License Manager (which you are
prompted to run on the host PC following installation of the software). Version 3.5.1.21 automatically installs all
supported gateway types. You can then create the gateway if it is enabled in your license.

1. Click to highlight the installed gateway service listed within the License Manager.

2. Click the Settings button.

3. The Add Gateway window will appear prompting you to enter a name for the gateway.
4. Enter the name then click OK.

5. The gateway will be added to the database. You will then see a prompt to start the gateway service. Click Yes to do
this.
