MULTI-BUILDING SYSTEM WIRING WITH GT-MCX

GT-MCX: Network Adaptor

The GT-MCX connects a GT system to a network, allowing the system to be remotely programmed or multiple GT systems to be tied together. When used for multiple systems, each system now becomes known as a section and requires its own GT-MCX. There are two types of sections; the tenant section and the main section. A tenant section can contain tenant stations, entrance stations, and guard stations. A main section can contain the GT-DMB(-N, -LVN) entrance stations and GT-MKB-N guard stations only.

Note: Main sections can call to tenant sections but tenant sections cannot call to other tenant sections.

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS: Tenant Section and Main Section

IMPORTANT

When the GT-MCX is included in the system, it will occupy ID#1 for both the entrance stations and guard stations. Set the entrance stations and guard stations in the system starting with ID#2. Refer to page 6 for ID settings. If the dip switches are not set correctly on the entrance stations and guard stations, you will not be able to upload any settings. The entrance stations, guard stations, and the GT-BCXB-N expansion adaptor must be set to multi-building mode when including the GT-MCX network adaptor. Set the switches as shown below per station.

Each GT-MCX must be given a unique section ID and IP address. The section ID and IP address of each GT-MCX will be determined by turning off DHCP and the SW2 dip switch setting. The IP address of the GT-MCX will be 192.168.1.50 + the ID number.

Example: 192.168.1.50 + ID 1 = 192.168.1.51

192.168.1.50 + ID 25 = 192.168.1.75

Step 1: Set SW3 dip switch 1 to ON to turn off DHCP.

IMPORTANT
SW3	SW3
1234	1 2 3 4
(default)	(DHCP Off)

Step 2: Set the SW2 dip switches 2-6 to the desired section ID based on the section type (see chart below).

PROGRAMMING: SHARING HANDSHAKE DATA

The handshake programming method can be used within a Tenant Section only. The handshake is a correlation between the tenant and an entrance station or guard station. In order for the Main Section to call a tenant station that was programmed via handshake in the Tenant Section, the link ID will need to be shared between the entrance/guard station that was programmed and the Tenant Section MCX.

After completing the handshake process on pages 14-15 for the tenant stations, download the data from the entrance station or guard station that was programmed for those stations.

• Step 1: Click Download .
• Step 2: From the Download menu, select the LAN radio button. Select the Tenant Section MCX where the entrance/guard station programmed with handshake data resides. Verify the IP address is correct.

Step 3: Select the entrance/guard station that was programmed with the handshake data. Click OK . Click Yes in the popup window asking if it's ok to overwrite the data. Enter the Admin Passcode and click OK . The default Admin Passcode is *1111.

• Step 4: Copy/paste (Ctrl C, Ctrl V) or use Compare and Merge Settings (page 22) to send the newly downloaded resident data from the downloaded entrance/guard station to the Tenant Section MCX and other entrance/guard stations in this section.
• Step 5: After all data has been copy/pasted or Compare and Merged to the MCX and each entrance/guard station in this section, Upload settings to all stations in this section again (see page 23).
• Step 6: Repeat steps 1 5 for each tenant section in the system.
