Capstone Project - Day 5

Continued to integrate each panel with the OpenGN software. Based on the success last week, one of the card access control panels was connected to the OpenGN with the ethernet cable. We were planning to set this panel as a master panel, and then add the remaining two panels to this master panel with RS485 connection. The setting was successfully programmed with the TX3 software. but the OpenGN gateway was not available to reach their IP address because the remaining two panels were connected to a different router in the classroom. We struggled through the network problem as each panel needed individual IP to integrate with the OpenGN, and also they needed to connect to one switch in the same router.

For testing the network configuration, we ran a long ethernet cable to each panel and then they had their own IP address. The OpenGN gateway reached all the IP and built up the connection successfully. Therefore, we eventually manage to integrate all three panels to the OpenGN but for ideal configuration, we still need to solve the networking issue.
