However, the least expensive cabling costs, fastest systems and most modern and powerful integrations now are designed with IT-based products. Additionally, customer IT departments are involved in more than 50% of the<br \/>\ndecisions regarding security systems. Many of these same IT departments throw up barriers to installing a security system on a corporate network because of network reliability, security and bandwidth concerns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution<\/strong><br \/>\nEven though Keri\u2019s TCP\/IP-based NXT Controller hardware and Doors.NET software is relatively easy to install and commission, Keri has created the AutoUSB Simplified Networking Solution to allow security installers with little knowledge of IT technology to capitalize on the growing trend towards IP security solutions. Utilizing Keri\u2019s AutoUSB adapter, the installer plugs into any USB port on the computer. Then utilizing standard CAT5 cable and inexpensive off-the-shelf IP plug-in routers creates a network for the system. The Doors.NET software senses the USB adapter and instead of using the PC\u2019s network card, it utilizes the AutoUSB adapter and then auto assigns and saves IP addresses to any of the controllers attached to the newly created network. The system is now operational with no IT information required by the technician or permission from the IT department \u2013 truly plug-and-play and network issue-free.<\/p>\n<p>Plug AutoUSB adapter into PC<br \/>\nConnect controllers using inexpensive CAT5 cable<br \/>\nIs there AutoUSB in use?<br \/>\nDoors.NET uses a standard computer network card<br \/>\nInstaller enters each IP address for each controller and saves it in Doors.NET<br \/>\nDoors.Net retrieves all controllers that are wired to the network<br \/>\nHit the \u201cAutoconfig\u201d button in the Doors.NET software<br \/>\nDoors.NET retrieves all\u00a0NXT controllers that are wired to the network<br \/>\nDoors.NET sends addresses to controllers<br \/>\nDoors.NET auto assigns IP addresses and sends to controllers<br \/>\nDoors.NET analyzes the network for possible IP connections<\/p>\n<p>2305 Bering Dr, San Jose, CA 95131<br \/>\nPhone (800) 260-5265 \/ (408) 435-8400 \/ Fax (408) 577-1792<\/p>\n<p>2 of 2<br \/>\nIt\u2019s also important to note that even in its most active state, the Keri Doors.NET and NXT hardware use less than 2% of a 100megabit network, which should alleviate any bandwidth concerns of the corporate, IT staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong><br \/>\nBy utilizing standard USB plug-and-play concepts that virtually all installers are familiar with, Keri has removed the biggest hurdle that faces installers who wish to move to the latest generation of products &#8211;<br \/>\nthe knowledge of how to install and configure embedded IP based systems. Installing a powerful, \u201cnext-generation\u201d access control system is now as simple as plugging in the network cable and hitting an autoconfiguration button.
