Neutron Controller Setup in Visual Doors

1.0 Software Installation Notes

When performing the Doors.NET installation, you should select the Full Installation (this installs all software components for a standard installation onto the PC, including the Neutron gateway). Alternatively, if you require additional application or gateways you can choose to perform a custom install (and then ensure the Neutron gateway service is selected along with the Application Server and the admin client).

  3. From the home screen, click on the Hardware icon.



  4. When the Hardware screen opens click on the green 'Auto-Config' icon.

  6. Once detected, the D33, D28 and D30 LEDs on the controller(s) should start blinking.
  7. On the Auto Config results window, click the APPLY button.



  8. Within a few seconds the controller(s) will be added to the hardware list and you will see an Auto-Config Complete message.
