1.0 Introduction

Notes:
- At least one hub is required per system.
- Multiple hubs of the same controller type can be added to the same site.
- If the total controller capacity of the site is greater than 32 doors additional hubs can be added to the same site.

- Each hub is configured for a specific hardware type (either Standard NXT, NXT-MSC or PXL). Multiple hubs for different controller types can be used on the same system.

- The hub must be added to a DHCP network with an active, unrestricted internet connection.

3.0 Wait for the Hub to Update

Note: It is important to wait up to 5 minutes for the hub to perform its initial update. Failure to wait may result in problems adding controllers to the system.

The hub will begin updating a few seconds after it comes online. While the hub is updating the status will display 'UpdateStarted'.

The status will continue to display 'UpdateStarted' for 3-5 minutes. Wait until the status displays 'UpdateCompleted'.

Click on the name of the hub - this will display the hub information screen. Ensure there is information showing in the 'Updated On' section:
