Create a New Site

1.0 Introduction

Typically defined as a subnet. Each site requires a hub that will be configured for the hardware type installed at the site. A hub is limited to 32 doors per controller type.



  • The site defines the hardware type to be used.

  • Every system needs at least one site.

  • The hub is claimed and assigned to the site.

  • Multiple hubs can be assigned to the same site (if more than 32 doors are on the system).

  • If adding multiple hubs to the same site they must be of the same hardware type.

  • Multiple sites (and multiple hubs) must be used if controllers will be located in different geographical timezones.
