It's recommended to install the AS-525 software in: "C:\Program Files\Rosslare\AxTrax AS-525. Upgrading information - This version can not run on a PC with previous Veritrax AS-225 as they use the same database. It is strongly recommended to backup previous Veritrax AS-225 settup than remove it before installing AxTrax AS-525. The backed-up Veritrax AS-225 database can be imported into AxTrax AS-525 using the option "Import older AxTrax AS-525 database". For upgrading from previous AxTrax AS525 versions, if database versions are different, it is also required to backup old database, than install new software and import the backed-up database. Vitrax software - AxTrax AS525 can work with "Vitrax" video software. Make sure Vitrax Server is installed on same PC as AxTrax AS525, even when Vitrax Server is actually working from another PC in the Nertwork or from remote network. Refer to History file for information on compatible Vitrax version. ========================= 2) Operating AS-525 Software And Default Passwords ========================= To start the AS-525 Program in Admin mode: 1. On the "Start menu", click "Programs" then click "Rosslare\AxTrax AS-525". 2. At the first operation select the user name "administrator" and enter password: "admin" . To start the AS-525 Program in security mode: 1. On the "Start menu", click "Programs" then click "Rosslare\AxTrax AS-525". 2. Select the user name"security" and enter password: "secur" . To start the AS-525 Program in Engin mode: 1. On the "Start menu", click "Programs" then click "Rosslare\AxTrax AS-525". 2. Select the user name "engineer" and enter password: "engin" . ========================= 3) HASP key requirements ========================= HASP key is a USB key which is required to enable AS-525 operation when large number of panels are installed. Upto 64 active panels can be activated with no HASP key. For larger number of panels HASP key is required. Different models of HASP key required according number of panels. HASP key levels: Level 1: 1 - 64 panels (HASP key not required) Level 2: 65 - 255 panels (HASP key required) Level 3: 256- 512 panels (HASP key required) Level 4: 513- 1023 panels (HASP key required) ========================= 4) PC Operating System Support ========================= This tool has been tested under the following PC operating systems: Windows XP SP2. Support operation system: Windows Server 2003 SP1 Windows XP Professional SP2 Windows XP Home Edition SP2 Windows Vista English ========================= 5) PC Hardware Minimum Requirements ========================= The following minimum configuration is required to run AS-525: * PC-compatible Pentium?-class system * Supported Windows operating system (see section 4) * 256 MB memory (512 MB recommended) * 1 GB of hard disk space * 500 MB of free hard disk space for runtime ========================= 6) Multiple Installations AS-525 ========================= Multiple installations of AS-525 on one PC is not recommended. ========================= 7) IP modules support ========================= TCP-IP module MD-N32 or MD-IP32, if module is based on Wiznet IP module, then recommended firmware version is V4.6. ========================= 8) 4 readers support ========================= Starting on AxTrax AS-525 V0.02.00, the software supports hardware with 4 readers per panel. When the MD-D02 reader expansion board is attached on AC225 or AC-525 panels, these panels support 4 readers. When in 4 readers, there are two new panel/doors/readers layout available, in addition to the previos two layouts. The installer must set S1/SW3 to confirm with the desired layout: MD-D02 S1/SW3 Position Layout NO OFF 1 Door / 2 Readers NO ON 2 Doors / 2 Readers YES OFF 2 Door / 4 Readers (new option) YES ON 4 Doors / 4 Readers (new option) The rule for setting S1/SW3 is simple: When OFF, each door in the panel has 2 readers. When ON, each door in the panel has 1 reader. ========================= 9) Known Problems ========================= * For subjects related to video integration with Vitrax, reffer to seperate file. * When using MD-N32 or MD-IP32 based on Wiznet TCP/IP to Serial gateway to connect between AS-525 and access control panels (AC-215 or AC225), it may be required to power-on reset the MD-N32 or AC-225 with MD-IP32 unit after it is configured from AS-525. This problem does not exist in MD-N32/MD-IP32 with Wiznet firmware version 4.6. versions. * Language support - Operating system language should be identical to AxTrax AS-525 selected language. Activating the software in a language different from the operating system language may cause garbage fonts to appear. * Modem Network communication speed is limited to 9600/19200/57600 bits per second due to inconsistant operation at 115200 bits per second. * In Windows XP SP2, Serbian fonts can only be displayed correctly when changing the Operator Language in AxTrax to "Serbian" and installing Serbian fonts in Windoes XP. * During installation of SQL Express SP2 on Vista you may get this error: -------------------------------------------- TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup SQL Server Setup Failed to compile the Managed Object Format (MOF) file c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof. To proceed, see "Troubleshooting an Installation of SQL Server 2005" or "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help documentation. -------------------------------------------- To solve it follow those steps: 1. Is UAC enabled on your Vista machine ? control panel -> security center -> User account Control is it ON ? if not change it to ON. 2. Start menu -> Right click on command prompt -> Run as Administrator 3. Run following command: winmgmt /verifyrepository 4. If you see following error go to step 5 WMI repository is INCONSISTENT Else if it says the repository is consistent - go to step 6 5. Run following command twice: winmgmt /salvagerepository On first run you may see a following error: "WMI repository salvage failed Error code: 0x8007041B Facility: Win32 Description: A stop control has been sent to a service that other running services are dependent on." However second time it should return: "WMI repository has been salvaged" 6. After that SQL Express setup should finish fine. try to install again.
