The Ethernet-capable Kentix devices can be operated in Main Device, Stand-Alone Device or Satellite Device mode. The selection of the operating mode differentiates the functionalities that are available in the device’s own KentixONE web interface.
Satellite Devices are operated in conjunction with other Kentix devices. The administration takes place centrally at the Main Device. Satellite Devices can serve as gateway for further sensors or DoorLocks. The configuration of the sensors and DoorLocks is not done on the Satellite Device, but on the Main Device.
To set a device to satellite device mode, the IP address of the main device is required. In addition, the satellite device must be taught in on the main device via the Dashboard menu item.
