Add a PXL Site

Add a PXL Site

1.0 Introduction

The following section explains how to add a PXL site to Borealis. Once the PXL site has been added you will then be able to add a claim a hub. When the hub is associated with a PXL site it will then automatically be configured to work with PXL controllers.


Note: The following steps assume that you have already registered your Borealis user account, verified the account and have worked through the process of creating an organization (if applicable) and a new system.

 

Once a site has been added you will then be able to add a hub (or multiple hubs) to the site. Each hub supports up to 32 doors.

 

A site may represent a business location, a floor of a building or any other grouping of hardware. The requirements for a site are as follows:


Each site will need a minimum of one physical hub.
  • All controllers on a site must be of the same hardware family, such as: Keri PXL or Keri NXT-MSC (mercury-powered).
  • You will need to use multiple hubs if you wish to use different hardware/controller types (for example: Standard NXT AND NXT-Mercury-Powered (MSC) controllers.
  • A site must have a world timezone assigned (all controllers on the site will use this world timezone).
