3.2   SOFTWARE QUICK STEPS

 

  1. Install the System Galaxy 10.x software on the main Communication Server / Database Server as appropriate. Register the software and clients as appropriate for the options purchased.
  2. Installing the software is covered on the Install DVD Help. Registration is covered in the Software User Guide.  NOTE: There is not a specific registration option for Otis, Elevators, or OEI boards.
  3. Check the Galaxy Event Service to confirm that the 635 OEI Elevator control panel is connected. It may take a few minutes for the CPU to connect to the Event Service.  TIP: Use the GCS Service Monitor (Windows-7 or higher) or Service Manager (which gives you more options) to view connections to the Event service.
  4. Launch the System Galaxy Software, sign in as a master operator – and complete the remaining steps to add and configure the hardware components into the software programming screens.
  5. In the Loop Properties screen: add a 600/635 Cluster (Loop) using correct IP Settings and port 4003.
  6. In the Controller Properties screen: add the 635 Controller & 635 CPU. Use [GET BOARD INFO] button to add the OEI board and configure the number of floors. Also when adding DRM Boards to the controller, you must choose the most common reader type (such as proximity) used by most of the boards. You can change any of the reader types that are different when you set up the Reader Properties.
  7. In the Otis Elevator Programming screen: create each DEC your system will use. You must provide the correct IP Address in the DEC programming fields that corresponds to the DEC you are adding.
  8. In the Reader Properties screen: set the readers as Otis Elevator Readers and assign the DEC number where the reader is located. Also set the reader technology type if needed. Rename the reader using a logical name that indicates where the reader is located (for example “Main Lobby DEC-1”, or “Floor-3 DEC-6”, etc.).
  9. In Time Schedules screen: create each Time Schedule needed for the following Groups –
  1. In User-defined Floor Groups a time schedule controls which DEC mode is in effect (& Free Floors if any) .
  2. In Elevator Access Groups a time schedule controls which credentials are authorized to specific floors.
  3. Best Practice: do not share, borrow, or reuse the schedules you created for elevator access and floor groups with other groups such as I/O groups and doors. this prevents future confusion when schedules must be changed.
  1. In the Otis Elevator Programming screen, configure the Default Floor Group-0.
  1. Choose the default DEC Mode (this mode takes effect if/when no other Floor Groups are active).
  2. Add any additional floors or negative floors that were not added during Controller Programming
  3. Enable (check) any mandatory free floors that will always be free at every DEC whenever this mode takes effect.
  1. In the Otis Elevator Programming screen, configure User-defined Floor Groups (1-10) that you will need (assign the DEC mode, time schedule and any free floors as needed). Then assign the Floor Group to any DECs as desired. Keep in mind these floor groups supersede the Default Floor Group ONLY when they are active (per the schedule).
  2. In the Access Group Programming screen, create any Access Groups you need for cards.
  1. Elevator Access Groups – for cardholders to use the elevator readers and floors.
  2. Door Access Groups – for cardholders who need access to exterior or interior door/readers.
  1. In Cardholder Programming screen, (enrollment) assign the appropriate Access Groups to each access card.
  1. Elevator Access Groups – assign the Elevator Loop and then set the appropriate access group(s) on the access card that is issued to the cardholder(s).
  2. Door Access Groups – assign any other Loops and then set appropriate access group(s) as needed.
  3. Default Floor – (optional) assign a default floor to the card if you are using Default Floor Mode (1) or the Combo Mode (4) at a DEC that the card must use.  The default floor is configured using the 4th Access Group field. See information on Default Floor Mode and Combo Mode to understand how this card works.
