Background:
Because there are many components in motion, we've compiled a list outlining requirements, clarifications, and areas of responsibility to ensure the seamless integration between Inlet and the lock system.
Read more about the security principles for Inlet and the connections to locks here.
Practical and Technical Requirements:
- The locksmith installs the locks, installs Paxton on the server, and configures the locks in Paxton Net2.
- The locksmith ensures that Paxton NET2 has our "0db76653-a....3dd4" lisence for API installed. This can be obtained by our support team upon request. support@inlet.tech
- Install the Licence as follows:
- [INSTALL_LOCATION]\Access Control\ApiLicences
- The default location on Windows 10 is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Paxton Access\Access Control\ApiLicences".
- NB: The filname must be "0db76653-a....3dd4.lic" and cannot be renamed or altered.
- After placing the file in this location, you must restart the Net2 Service to enable the ClientID.
- Remember to enable the API service via the security tab in the Net2 Configuration Utility.
- The locksmith must create an user for Inlet with a password.
- The IT provider delivers a server where the Paxton NET2 server can be installed and secures the server with a firewall and access control, as well as installs an SSL certificate for secure connection.
- The IT provider ensures to whitelist IP addresses and set up port forwarding from the external port to the internal port on the server so that we can access the NET2 API.
- The IT provider opens the firewall on the Windows machine where Paxton NET2 is installed so that traffic from Inlet is not blocked anywhere along the way.
- The IT provider can then access the public IP on port 8443 and should be able to connect directly to the Paxton NET2 server.
- To verify that the URL is accessible the IT provider should validate by visiting this url in the browser: https://[PUBLIC_URL]:8443/
- Inlet needs receive the following to email support@inlet.tech:
- Customer Name
- Information on what locks and lock groups Inlet should set up.
- Paxton NET2 username
- Paxton NET2 password
- Paxton NET2 public URL ( proxy address or public IP)
- Inlet retrieves the locks to configure Inlet with the locking system.
- Inlet provides information to the top system/booking system that they can test.
- Inlet requires at least 2 weeks of testing with the top system/booking system after the installer has completed the above points.
IP addresses that need to be whitelisted:
Required: 52.164.185.179 and 79.160.124.141
Ports that need to be mapped:
External TCP port 8443 to internal TCP port 8443 on the Server.
Access System Server IP Address Configuration:
A static IP address should be assigned to prevent it from being changed during a restart, and causing downtime due to the mapping in the previous point
